Trust the science, Jack!

Joe Biden is the worst president in my lifetime and it’s not even close. George W Bush was a deranged evangelical psychopath and even he wasn’t bloodthirsty to the same extent that Joseph Robinette Brandon is.

Biden seems to just genuinely support death and destruction. The more people die, the better. Whether through disease or bombs. He’s a true worshipper of Moloch.

He’s turned the CDC into the worlds biggest promoter of disease spread, it’s honestly amazing. Completely dismantled anything that was in place to even slow or track the spread of COVID. Trying their hardest to ensure bird flu becomes a pandemic. Fuck, I saw something from the CDC recently saying “people aren’t using condoms as much so we’re gonna stop recommending it so hard” like I’m sorry what? It’s like he’s playing a game of Pandemic.

If you don't test, you won't find any cases; simple as

Bird flu really hates outdoor cats.

Surly the goverment won't let it run rampant and unchecked. I mean, who would risk letting a rapidly mutating virus that is spreading between multiple different mammalian species go unchecked.

It at least can jump between animals to farm workers, and is found in raw milk (barn cats drinking raw milk caught it). The venn diagram of raw milk drinkers and COVID anti-vaxxers is pretty much a circle, so they're not going to stop drinking raw milk and will not take any precautions to keep others safe if they do get sick.

The more infections, the more pressure for further mutations that increase spread amongst mammals, just like we saw with COVID -> omicron -> jn1.

unpasteurized milk is also a risk and theres definitely people drinking that. its not well adapted to human spread yet but letting it spread unchecked through the US's like 40 million cows and potentially other animals too, is a great way for it to acquire the mutations necessary to get a foothold in humans and start killing.

and its influenza... we already know it has that potential

if this shit pops off, its going to be even more of a tragedy and even more of a farce.

It's a good thing the powers that be didn't allow a virus to rampage through the population that just so happens to leave hosts with weakened immune systems.

It would be COVID-24 actually

Fuckkk flashback to when my brainpoisoned father in law asked me about why there weren’t other covids like 18 or 17, like what happened to those years?

I don't think you need more than N95 for protection from airborne viruses. You can go up to P100, but it will make breathing harder. Your biggest win would come from getting a well-fitting elastomeric mask/respirator with N95 filters, and ideally, no unfiltered output port (for other people's benefit).

The single best thing you can do to ensure you're protecting yourself is to do a home fit test. Surgical masks, KN95s, N95s have generally the same kind of filtration layer; the essential difference is the fit. Is it sealing on your face with <10% leakage, even when worn for long periods and while you speak and make facial expressions? You can't really know this for sure unless you do a fit test.

It is pretty cheap and easy to do a DIY fit test.

Here's a video that explains how to do it with a trash bag, some Splenda, and a $7 nebulizer.

Here is a written guide.

A p100 with an exhalation valve. I use a gvs eclipse because it looks the most "normal" and is light so it's comfortable for long stretches. Got it at Lee Valley, have seen them on Amazon.

Edit: you won't be protecting others with this mask, I'm not worried about that because I live like a hermit. If you are then follow @TrashGoblin@hexbear.net's advice

The only thing about n95 is p100s. Idk if they even make p100 face masks. At that point you're looking at a half face or full face respirator.

You can get N99 or N100 masks. I haven't seen any that don't have a valve for breathing out so they don't protect others, just yourself.

For masks, the convention is that the number is its ability to filter out small particles and the letter is for whether it also protects (P) against oil-based particles or not (N), with R offering partial oil protection. There's nothing wrong with using a P99 or P100 but it's probably not doing anything more than an N99 or N100 for airborne diseases.

The silicone respirators that you can hook N/P100s to can be pretty nice. They have better airflow, in my experience, but are also much heavier. You'll get a wet face using one for hours.

As others mentioned, fit is important. If you have a gap in your seal you've kind of defeated the difference between N95 and N100 already. If you have facial hair, shave. Then fit your mask to your face by adjusting the nose thing or the straps if they are adjustable. Do some rapid breaths in and out and see if there's pressure/vacuum.

Also N95 is probably enough for the vast majority of scenarios. Given that money is limited, it might be better to buy many N95s rather than fewer N99s or N100s so that you can rotate them. I keep around the higher-Ns for occasions that seem particularly risky like poorly ventilated areas packed with people.
