Also the masks don't prevent you catching the virus. Also, there are no fucking masks. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71124074 Rubber ones are on the way. Not to mention they breathe infinitely better. You will feel like you're suffocating having to wear one of those all day. Screw that. Don't need to wear it all day, just when I need to. Meaning when you go out. Good luck walking around and trying to breathe through one of those things. I had one and tossed it. I'd rather take my chances with a cold than suffocation. |

I'm saying the respirator with rubber seals are more breathable than disposables. Really? I had one that was full rubber and had screw-on filters (no eye cover though) Thing was impossible to breathe through. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71124074 No matter what mask you choose your breathing will be restricted. But in my own experience I find that the half face and full face respirators are slightly more open and the filters are more breathable than the cotton/fiber material on disposables. In my experience they also accumulate less moisture and are leaps and bounds more secure. But hell, if you really want to go crazy about it, go get yourself an air supplied full-face or hood and you'll be good to go! |

User ID: 77349422 United States 03/07/2020 03:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In all honesty wearing a mask here and there won't be a fool proof way of protecting yourself. If you really wanted to protect yourself you would leave the house as little as possible and for those that work for a living that's going to be a little unrealistic. But if you still haven't contracted the virus up until the point that it becomes a full blown crisis with quarantine measures and martial law in effect, only then could I realistically reccomend this kind of prep. But to each his own. Last Edited by Death Dealer on 03/07/2020 03:35 PM |

The fact that you are calling this a "cold" tells me everything I need to know. It technically is a cold. The common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. The most commonly implicated virus is a rhinovirus (30–80%), a type of picornavirus with 99 known serotypes.[29][30] Other commonly implicated viruses include human coronavirus (≈ 15%) From wikipedia article on "the common cold" [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] |

Meanwhile, hospitals are now rationing masks. Hire temporary workers. Duh. Many places hire everyone as Temps so they don't have to pay benefits or unemployment. |

Also the masks don't prevent you catching the virus. Also, there are no fucking masks. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71124074 The government has said they don't help, yet then state not to hoard them because there won't be enough available for the medical field. Of course they help. Need to have it on fit properly. Mind you the N95 masks. I acquired 25 a couple of months ago along with a UV-C sterilizer (it's a box you put things in and just run it for 10 minutes). People forget that they are contaminated (or potentially) and after you take them off, they are meant to be discarded. So without properly killing viruses and bacteria, you'd actually be more likely to get infected by using it if you don't either toss it (properly and wash your hands) or sterilize it. |
