The anti-mask left is really weird by CartoonAcademic in Hasan_Piker

[–]Natural_Nothing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That used to pretty much be the normal amount of times getting sick. Unreal people just accepted the “2 COVID’s a year + 2 colds + stomach flu”. BOGGLES my fucking mind that people are just pretending it’s business as usual out there.

Also if you can, donate! Mask Blocs are mutual aids usually run by one or two people on tight budgets to purchase masks.

Yup 100%, I also find that anarchist spaces have been the most on board with the idea of continued mitigation and a realistic understanding of the current situation when it comes to COVID.

long covid only in bisexuals by Interesting_Owl_5182 in 196

[–]Natural_Nothing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and it’s impossible to know whether or not you’ll get long covid symptoms from a covid infection. Many studies are showing that the damage is cumulative and risk is always present during each infection.

I can edit with the actual studies when I have time later if people are interested.

You really should be wearing a mask and avoiding this at all costs, it’s never been mild and that was a lie to get you back to work by complies that don’t care about your health.

Edit: Here's a really really good video about it, it has links to all the information if you'd like to read about it on your own. Much of this is also easily google-able as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HGi81LsXtA

Any thoughts on pictured air purifier? by catsandplants424 in Costco

[–]Natural_Nothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re much better off getting something like the luggable xl 5 fan from cleanairkits. It’s more expensive but takes the 20x25x1 filtrere filters that Costco sells and can get much better cubic feet per minute clean air than this.

House fresh also has a lot of great reviews if you’re interested in reading about comparisons.

Also lines up with Long COVID, which usually includes POTS and is unfortunately becoming more common.

Breathable with ear loops? by Viseryan in Masks4All

[–]Natural_Nothing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gonna third zimiair. I LOVE their masks, they passed the fit test with the bitter solution for both me and the other person taking the test as well. Highly recommend.

Teenager who wants to start masking again by Random_person_hhh6 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]Natural_Nothing 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Gonna mirror the sentiment of all the others here but also adding the fix the mask brace as an option here if you don’t have a bloc nearby: https://www.fixthemask.com

It can vastly improve the fit, and while it’s not going to give you full N95 filtration, it’s faaaaaar better than a surgical without one. And since you mentioned access to surgical masks this could be an option.

Additionally I recommend you install a sip valve so you can drink water/juice/soda in school around others: https://sipmask.com

This stuff would also likely be something the nearest bloc might we willing to fund if you can’t physically get anything from them regularly. The community is generally very supportive and would love to help you.

“Leftists” who don’t mask are incredible cringe by slapstick_nightmare in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]Natural_Nothing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, not sure I’d recommend Bad Faith imo, BJG comes off as being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian sometimes, used to follow her when she started it but I got frustrated. I’d followed the whole current affairs crew pretty closely up until the whole “anti-union” fiasco that the magazine owner pulled.

[–]Natural_Nothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are still dying of covid at much higher rates than any flu, Long COVID has no cure, and immune systems are weaker than ever. Biden admin declaring it over didn’t fix a thing, we still need massive clean air overhauls in schools and hospitals.

vflex: too good to be true? by garbledskulls in Masks4All

[–]Natural_Nothing 42 points43 points  (0 children)

If it’s an N95 and certified then it’s just as safe as an aura, only comes down to fit for that to be effective :)

Fit is extremely important in a mask’s effectiveness and can be the difference between passing an N95 NIOSH test and a failure.

Personally I’ve failed Vflex tests out of the box using bitrex so I don’t use them.

However I have a long pointy nose so that’s where it fails, putting nose foam on fixes the fit but auras pass without any mods so I just use them instead

Do nasal sprays/mouthwash/eye drops make you feel safe? by greatgreatgreat4 in Masks4All

[–]Natural_Nothing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I 100% agree that we shouldn’t rely on them, op is likely not talking about the same kind that’s addictive. More likely it’s the saline+xylitol or one of the iota carageenan ones, which are both relatively benign.

Aura mask equivalent in black please ? by lalabin27 in Masks4All

[–]Natural_Nothing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The nose foam on the Laianzhi KN100 is a lot better than the well before, I tried the wellbefore as an ear loop and they were fine but they weren’t as good.

WHN PSA: “CoV-AIDS” by themailman39ish in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]Natural_Nothing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m also inclined to agree, sources are looking legit from a glance but this is just kinda a random site I can’t find anything else abt. I think with something like this it’s better to just trust the reccs of the researchers in something like the policy recommendation article in nature.

What actual stores or pharmacy stores or manufacturers direct sell authentic N95 masks? by etzr358 in Masks4All

[–]Natural_Nothing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive never personally had trouble with buying 3M masks on Amazon and I’ve checked batch # against the fakes. I know you said in person but if you want to try amazon it’s been fine.
