Oddbean new post about login | logout honestly wearing n95s in public after the double pneumonia has been really nice. people stay away from me which is exactly what i want. i’m not risking it again this winter
hope you’re doing well now ?
The masks are pseudo-scientific voodoo, period.
idc too many sick people around me in the city i can’t get sick again :/
Only you know what's best at the end of the day Roya , no matter what anyone says.
"idc" - but wants to vote, etc...
N95 filters at least .3 microns. Covid on its own is .125 microns. But covid doesnt generally float on its own. Its bonded to stuff like respiratory droplets (~50 microns) whose larger size is filterable. As a barrier, N95 masks and higher can reduce, if not outright block. Viral load is a key element in how sick one gets and how body reacts to build defenses. General surgical masks and cloth masks on the other hand only act as direct splash guards and serve the same purpose as a diaper, but made for the face. KN95 masks or any that fold are not suitable for prevention.
you suffer from intellectual sodomy...
Sounds like you exist on the left side of the bell curve. Bless your heart.
looks like you are a whore for scientistic materialism and reductionist, distended, rationalism... how is it working out ?
So far so good!
that just indicates you are low-quality - a priori
lemme guess - btc1 ?
If there is any humidity in the air at all , covid is aerosolized, and it's going through the mask.
The oppositte. Dryer environments reduce humidity. Winter time is lower humidity. Less humidity makes virus more aerosolized. The more wet the air, the less viruses can easily spread. Use humidifiers indoors and HEPA filters to aid in mitigation.
Sure , the air is dry in winter , granted that it doesn't rain (no chance of that here ) ,but that is outside, most people spend most of their time in an inside environment. Moisture inside could come from people , cooking , hanging your coat up to dry on the rack , inadequate ventilation. When there is moisture in the air, it has a medium to float around in. You said yourself that it binds itself to water droplets , it can ride around on the current .
I don't expect anyone to watch lengthy videos against their will , but I've never seen a hairpin turn quite like the "concensus" on the effectiveness of masks, it is quite stunning . https://cdn.satellite.earth/ff8c4821865b80f6f60fee5b9fd27cabdf38c9eaf1575feb9d30333166be0cbc.mp4
This video emphasizes my earlier statements regarding N95 vs face diapers. They never pushed proper N95s or better on the public because there was a supply shortage. They needed to ensure they could protect themselves, and then limit access to only those in medical and first responder (ambulatory, fire, police) community. Governments and agencies acted in their own best interests, not that of their constituents, and policies were political and control based. Ignore what they say and do what you feel appropriate for personal protection.
I'll concede that n95's are more effective than the diapers with the gaping holes vs properly fitted and all the rest, for the sake of civility, cause any talk of covid bullshit makes me blow my lid.
The point is moisture drops are big, and get stuck in an N95 mask. In dryer air, stuff can float around easier and doesn’t get stuck in the big water drops. N95 masks are not the same as KN95, or other “masks”like surgical or cloth etc. Supply chains for N95 support the construction industry mainly, not the world. Mask mandates are a farce, but that doesn’t mean N95 masks don’t work. Nuance is important.
it may well be that more, like 10% more are caught in n95s but get any finer and you can't get air through them either much better to investigate why you are vulnerable to the virus and your immune system is so compromised already and i say this as someone who came down with it, but a nasty dry air/nichrome wire heating system on a bus from bratislava to novi sad, and then had a shower but didn't get properly dry, caught a chill, and then it started... really, these two things were massive assaults on my lungs and my metabolism and no surprise that at that point my immune system failed to keep ahead of it i was down for 3 days and it was intense, it wasn't so strange to me because it was a lot like asthma with a painful cough, and it turned out i could just slow my breathing and i was ok, fell asleep, la ti da most normies don't know how to heal a cold or flu, that's why this thing was such a big assault on them
Glad to see someone with a scientific, factual take on masks.
Give him a zap then , v4v .
I always wear a mask whenever I feel sick like flu, mainly to avoid infecting others. Precautions are important, and everyone is different.
super gay and traitorous to the coming generations... not to mention completely unscientific ... but hey - YOU feel good about it! https://pinstr.app/p/npub1ljxdldrq885zamfkn82k7zcjs4lrsf9wykrh9e3hq4thh89vlzxsr83h7d/Scientism%3A%20Modern%20Medicine
Could you please explain further? I believe masks can reduce the spread of viral particles when talking or sneezing. How is that unscientific? I don't know to what extent it protects the wearer, but it appears to reduce the spread. By the way, I don't support mandatory mask-wearing; that seems dystopian. However, I am open to hearing your point of view. https://image.nostr.build/b1db8e711c6b89dba7731a123a61f3ccc5da559dbf1becc4de2c0ec02e4a707f.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1077x929&blurhash=%3B57UI%7BD%25of00%25M%3FbayRjof%7Eqj%5BRj9FD%25-%3Bof%25MD%25Rj%25MRjRjj%5BWB%25MayRj9Ft7M%7Bt7_39Fxu9F%3Fb00-%3BWB%7Eqj%5BD%25WBRjxu4nIU%25M%3FbofIUIUj%5B%25MofD%25%25M%25MWBt7D%25xuof%25MM%7Bxut7IU%25MIU-%3BIU&x=9491ff210bd0d2055c46a1017bd92ae8eac86b3f98d95b20b8a8f41ac7daccb6
all you gotta do is check the link I sent... start with the first video "The final refutation..." if you find that tantalizing, there are quite a few more. if you don't find it tantalizing, enjoy your current mental model which has been and will be used again to eradicate your rights, destroy your childrens economy, and cage up granny in glass cage for her final hours ....
you seem mentally ill, get help dude. it’s not tantalizing because it’s nonsense and doesn’t follow logic and critical thinking.
not an argument, yuppie.
oh you went through it all didja? no cuz you are a presumptuous intellectually degenerate materialist - a safety officer in a bitcoin suit. yeah totally not mentally ill to believe in little zombie magical floaty things that have no reproductive system, yet mystically propogate themselves by some metaphysical concept known as reverse transcription --- an utterly psychotic illusion and mental masturbation even the greeks wouldnt believe - an illusion upon which evil men, and you apparently, can destroy ecomomies, lives, and generations of hard won liberties... may your children spit on your fucking corrupt grave. now back to bleaching your asshole and supporting your wife or whatever it you godless modern roobot rodents do...
in ten years you will wish you didnt say this here - as its permanent... unlike your shifting sands pop-ideology which will follow the herd in my direction when the dust settles- as your nitwit analgazing reductionist approach to medicine and health is revealed for the petrol-grift it is. fucking degenerate.
I wonder what it's like for you, being part of this: https://www.bitchute.com/video/SB8ndpZdg8Z0/
They did conclude that masks don't really do anything and the little that they actually do, they can cause breathing issues to the wearers
if they dont even know that i am actually quite confused about how or why they ended up here... in nostr/btc land ... go figure.
Odd video. Is the original in Russian?
there are 40 or so there ? final refutation of virology is deutsch if i recall accurately ...
I just suck on raw garlic cloves.
i’ll keep that in mind next time i’m near death in the hospital 🙏
Masks do nothing. Surgeons wear masks so they don't drool into patients as they're operating. Here's an experiment for everyone.. Put a mask on.. Get your sunglasses. Make believe you're gonna breathe on your glasses to clean them. You see how you fogged up your sunglasses? The virus is aerosol, meaning it's not on water droplets, but floating in the air.. Fogging up your glasses means the virus goes right through it. There are no published peer reviews of mask wearing that prove they stop viruses. None..
Nevertheless, the Law of Moses required those sick with a respiratory disease to tie a cloth over their mouth in public (no requirement for covering the nose). There is some benefit to catching the coughs.
Vapid.
stupid bimbo.
My husband is immune compromised from medication he needs from air exposure on 9/11 at ground zero. He wears a mask to protect himself if even just a little bit. Fuck anyone that does not mind their own business or uses their own personal opinion and hyperbole to score social clout points.
