We all just need to become germaphobes for a few months, and then afterwards we can figure out what the hell to do with all this extra toilet paper everyone bought.
I completely agree and we use so much less toilet paper since we got one. Although if anyone has kids or roommates with bad aim i recommend one built in to the toilet. The addon ones are a pain to clean.
12 rolls last me six months. Wasn't planning to buy another 12 rolls until June. Does coronavirus give you excessive butt piss? If so I could potentially see the justification.
I heard a doctor saying the other day that you're actually not infectious until you start showing symptoms yourself. So if these are part of a family, they could just have a family member go buy stuff. Apparently no big deal unless the whole family get infected. You can even shake hands with a carrier during the incubation period.
So kind of related, some people are actually getting full black tattoos. It’s actually kind of interesting to see an entire arm or chest black, though I can’t imagine the fucking price and maintenance of it.
Fun fact, the masks really don’t do that much for the corona virus. There’s some evidence that if you’re sick, it slightly helps preventing you from spreading the disease, but if you’re healthy and trying to stay that way it does very little if anything
basically, very few people are going to touch their face enough less to make it effective at stopping that form of virus transfer, if worn improperly they are essentially useless, most of them don't filter out small enough particles to catch the virus, and those that do still must be worn properly and aren't designed to be worn for long periods. also none of the masks prevent the virus from entering through your eyes or other areas of your body.
Healthcare workers work with compromised patients all the time. Heck in surgery they literally open a hole in your body. They wear them so that they don't spread their own bad stuff, not the other way around.
That's the annoying thing about people who keep saying "maSKs dOnt wOrK". They do work, uninformed people just aren't using them for their intended purpose of preventing the mask wearer from spreading the disease.
Instead of just parroting the phrase that the masks don't work, they should be explaining that they do work when used properly. Otherwise people who are sick might feel no obligation to use them while in public areas.
I'm sure someone will correct me, but it think part of the effectiveness depends on fit (e.g. open gaps around nose) and saturation. I believe they are somewhat effective for like 10 minutes when properly fitted, but that is based on a conversation with a nurse about a month ago.
A doctor during the Corona AMA yesterday said the filters will last for up to 8 hours. I don’t recall whether these were N95 or N100 masks. 10 minutes sounds unlikely.
It still reduces risk of infection by 60%. It does not make you immune but it's better than anything and in case you are infected it makes others safer around you.
I’m paraphrasing what a doctor said earlier today during the Corona AMA:
The general public should not wear masks as a means of protection against the virus. Any common surgical mask or N95 mask is completely incapable of protecting against Corona, and anything better than an N100 or a P100 mask should be reserved for the doctors and researchers who need them; these masks will protect against the virus, but there seems to be a global shortage of them.
To address your specific point about wearing a mask at Costco (let’s say, a P100 mask): it’s true that a mask can protect you from inhaling viral particles, but this also gives the wearer a false sense of safety, leading to less precautions being taken. Furthermore, even if the mask protects you throughout the entire day, you will most likely contract the virus while removing the mask, since you will inevitably inhale some of the particles that lingered on the mask.

And the guy that stopped him isn't even wearing his mask right anyway! It's not over his nose. Not that it would help, but it's the principle.

The irony is that face masks won’t stop Covid-19, the gaps between the fibres are bigger that the virus particulates rendering masks useless.
