Interesting. I was diagnosed with a little bump on one hand and it hasn’t progressed. I’ll check this out. Thank you!

We must abolish ICE. Reform is too late. They tried that in Germany. The reforms ended up being worse.

I so appreciate you still advocating for this - I hope it will soon be realized by more, as it took a while to reduce smoking, wearing seat belts. I truly. hope that people figure this out sooner than later - it's such an isolating existence. Thanks for all your shouting at the top of your lungs!

My daughter has that after (she thinks) flu (metrix test said it wasn’t from covid). She also had a procedure done in her nose so perhaps that. But I’m skeptical it isn’t covid related.

Experts Call For N95s Over Surgical Masks As Flu, Covid Viruses Spread World Health Network experts urge WHO to make N95, KN95, or FFP2 respirators the standard for protection for healthcare workers, not inferior surgical masks.

And another terrific article from @drjudystone.bsky.social on how we can protect ourselves in the face of respiratory diseases flying left and right!

I saw this covid cautious dating online event and thought some folks on bluesky might want to know about it!

I don’t have any other info, just saw it in an fb group

Me, although I’m normalizing people in my circles seeing me in masks. One friend “finally” genuinely asked why I mask on outdoor walks with a group of friends. I know outdoor transmission is lesser known but it is known. Why worry when you can just mask.

U.S. farmer Chris Gibbs accurately describes what the farmer's bailout is actually doing.

Because the interest rate is lower than the return he can get elsewhere. And/or a write off. But these weren’t mortgages for himself, so rates wouldn’t have been as good.

It does have added benefits!

I’m sorry for your long covid. It’s mind boggling how people will try to pressure me to eat or drink with my N95 on. No matter how many times I tell them it’s not coming off in your shared air space.

The link to the article isn’t working for me. Can you give a better link please?

My kids have a cousin that got LC early March 2020. She was in a wheelchair for over a year. But since she’s “the only one” they knew with LC, they stopped trying to prevent it. So disappointing.

You shouldn’t need to change your mask. Assholes will still be assholes. Normalize your mask wearing! And people will be wishing they were you down the road.

You should wear the mask that works for you and ignore the assholes making those comments. Sorry that happened.

Because ICE is wearing KN95s 🙄

I believe the science says 24 hours if both are masking

One way masking isn’t ideal, but it will keep you safe for a good number of hours if you have a good fit. Basic masks aren’t N95s.

Yet another horrific ICE crime. Gotta wonder how many of the current agents refused to mask up at the height of COVID.

I use the Aura for all high exposure encounters, but in the heat and humidity I’ll wear a vflex and not sweat profusely. It’s also easier to exercise in so don’t retire those vflexes just yet maybe.

I was thinking this same thing. FND isn’t really a helpful diagnosis from what I’ve heard.

Thanks for sharing. I’m sorry people don’t get it and remember for future conversations. It must be so frustrating.

I was always surprised my soon to be ex didn’t keep masking to save his brain cells. He loves his brain, it’s not so great after three infections.

I don’t trust the SIP valve either. I don’t trust my ability to do it just right.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

I wonder how the response will be to the next pandemic if it’s anytime soon. The hatred and fear of masking might make for much worse outcomes the sooner it happens.

I’m right there with you. Sometimes afraid to say it out loud as if I’m going to jinx it.
