Very true. Crowbaring a political slant is way to add comfort I suppose... |

There are zero to be found. Unless you want to pay >$45 a piece for one.

the Coronavirus outbreak thread
Quote:
N95 is the same (functionally) no matter what it is used for. The 'N95' designation means that when tested, the respirator blocks 95% of 0.3 micron test particles. The part many don’t understand is they are single use for the purpose of contagion protection. In that context, the user will eventually have a mask that is carrying pathogens on its outer surface. One touch and you have contact transmission opportunity. So a medical professional can go through them faster than a construction worker. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Shifting gears to scumbags - (who can’t resist a good scumbag forum beat down?)
Here in NW ATL area, the increased surgical mask use by people has been leveraged by a bank robber... https://www.11alive.com/mobile/artic...5-76e354225834 If he had tried this 2 months ago, he’d have stood out like a sore thumb. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Anyway that’s not important. What’s important is what they’re doing is affecting the economy. I find it silly so many here are saying the media didn’t cause the stock market crash when I can literally link dozens of articles stating just that. People get their news from the media. It’s the media saying this is the end of the world. You obviously want to dump all your stocks when it’s the end of the world because of self-preservation. Certainly economical self-preservation takes precedence in these situations right? It’s the natural human order to think of oneself first. All I’m saying is there’s a proper time to react and this isn’t it. I’m not saying it won’t happen it looks like it just might. All I’m saying is that it’s too late now to avoid any economical consequences because the media has already committed itself to that. So if the coronavirus doesn’t hit the United States and kill thousands of people then one could say the millions of people that are going to lose their jobs over the course of the next six months have done so for nothing. Make no mistake when the stock market drops 10 to 15% like it has people are going to lose jobs. Livelihoods and families will be affected. I do understand with the supply chain interrupted from China that’s definitely going to affect some stocks and so even in the current situation without media influence we had to have some stock changes. Look at Apple. I saw an interview with their CEO Tim Cook and he doesn’t seem to be worried about the long-term effects of this and they are arguably the best run company in the world. Yet we still see utter chaos in the stock market as a whole and we are starting to see panic in the US. I have used hurricanes as an example on why the media hypes things up and causes economical damage. When a hurricane forms in the Atlantic and approaches the United States absolutely no one knows where it’s going to go. I realize the scientists try to make people think they have a good idea but I’ve been watching these things for 30 years and they are wrong 100% of the time as to their initial thoughts of where it will land. Absolutely every time they are wrong. Nothing wrong with that of course however when the media beats the drums early they literally get the entire Southeast United States in an economic downturn until the storm finally does land. When all they really need to do is wait until about three days out and then they have about an 80% accuracy as to within 200 miles where it will hit. And they can warn the people in that area and people can start to evacuate. That’s exactly how they used to do it in the 90’s. But then the media discovered Hurricane Katrina and the awesome power the media can weld using hurricanes in the future. The rest is history. Now every named storm that comes near the US the media goes into an absolute frenzy. It’s starting to work that way even with snow storms now in the north east where I grew up. I apologize for the long read but for the last several pages of this thread I’ve been making my case that the media is dangerous and it gets worse every year. They are absolutely biased and have an agenda and if you don’t see that you are either not paying attention or you don’t want to see it. I hope everyone stays safe and I pray this virus does not hit the United States or any other country in the world in a hard way like it has China. I pray this thing goes away as soon as possible. I appreciate everyone’s comments on this thread and there’s certainly no reason to fight over this. Human life is precious and so is the economic stability of our country(s) and our families. Let’s do our best stay calm and act rational so we can do as little unnecessary damage as possible.

I have a few boxes in stock, but it sounds like I would need MUCH more inventory if they are for single use. Thanks for the information. |

I should elaborate - single use meant disposable. If I was doing construction and wanted dust control alone then I could use it for a week perhaps. But if one was in ER intake dealing solely with suspected COVID-19 infected people - then I might go through more than 2 per day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The supply of respirators where I live is very low/depleted. I spent the whole week tracking down 3m respirators so that I would have enough to get through the next few months. |

I can understand that because panicky hoarding can disrupt the supply/demand balance of need vs. want. Many here are sane-minded and have understood that it is the infected ones who ought to wear the simple ear loop surgical mask to avoid spreading airborne pathogens. The same mask worn by 300 million healthy ones is not that effective for many reasons. E.g., ranging from failure to filter the viral particles in aerosoled explosively sneezed output to poor hygiene habits and secondary sources of contagion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I enjoy your watch posts and respect your opinions about the same. I also enjoy you sense of humor. However, I do not agree with your blanket statement. While I agree that there are a lot of bozo’s in the media (just like many other professions), not everyone reporter can be painted with this broad brush. Nor do I believe that any ideological camp is any more immune from the pushing agendas and pandering to click bait, in general and specifically with regard to the corona virus. To me, there appears to be people who want to magnify the problem and people who want to minimize the problem, both to further their own agendas and to get more clicks on their articles from their target base. Each of these groups of people are equally harmful to an informed public. But there also appears to be those who are trying to ascertain the truth, no matter the effect on their agendas. Same as it’s always been.

Pic taken to Shibuya. My bet is they cancel or moved to 2021 unless vacine is available and that takes months

I’m all for overreacting. Let’s take seriously now, when it’s easier to scale the solution.
I’m hearing from my friends who work for large care organizations that they are having supply issues....aka we are not prepared for a large scale problem. |
