🚨 COVID19 WEATHER REPORT: HOLIDAY SPIKE RAGES ACROSS USA 🚨

1/1/2024: Okay! Things are bad! We're JUST beginning to see how many people caught COVID-19 during the holidays. Right now it's moving through the USA causing AT LEAST 2 million infections per day (and that's the under-counted government numbers alone).

During this surge, ~100 million people total (~1 in 3 people in the US) will likely get COVID. Different areas will peak at different times, so keep an eye on your local numbers.

Reminder: All our viral data (recorded infections, deaths, wastewater viral count, etc) works on a 2 week delay - the length of COVID-19's initial acute phase where people are contagious and shedding viruses.

We want to slow the current spike down as much as we can by using respiratory masks like N95s, air filtration, and isolating and testing for COVID-19 multiple times after exposure. Hopefully we'll hit the peak soon (and not get hit as hard as Omicron in 2022).

DON'T GIVE UP HOPE! RESPIRATOR MASKS STILL PROTECT US

Respirator masks like N95s and KN95s use electrostatic filters that block at least 95% of dangerous virus-carrying respiratory aerosols, and can be adjusted to fit snugly around your nose and mouth. The few viruses get in, the less "sick" you'll get during the acute phase, and the less long-term damage they'll cause to your vascular and immune system (aka Long COVID).

If you are sick, please stay home and REST for as long as you can - the goal is 14 DAYS even if the surface symptoms seem "mild". People physically need rest to prevent worse damage to our organs. We need immediate emergency aid from our local and federal government to keep people staying HOME and fed and with medicine like Paxlovid.

If you are forced to work while sick, please wear a well-fitted N95/KN95 respirator mask to prevent further outbreak (but surgical/cloth masks are better than none). Avoid CROWDED PLACES, COVERED SPACES, and CLOSE CONVERSATIONS. Stay hydrated and eat easy, bland food, keep cleansing your sinuses and throat with nasal sprays/CPC mouthwash, and take ibuprofen/aspirin instead of tylenol for pain. If you keep struggling to breathe and you can't get enough oxygen, you need emergency hospitalization (look for blue/purple/grey tips to fingers, tongue, lips).

Please take care of yourself and each other! We will get through this.

PSA: if you’re vaccinated you can still catch and spread covid. Wear a mask, or even better yet, an N95 or equivalent respirator

#covid 19 #also the protection given by vaccines wanes over several months #and is increasingly ineffective against each new variant #stop falling for the propaganda that vaccines are the be all and end all of covid protections #they aren’t #they are your last line of defence against severe illness and death #and they give only modest protection against developing long covid #your best chance is to avoid getting covid in the first place #and the best way to do that is to wear a well fitted respirator that is N95 or equivalent

too tired to leave work help

#trapped in my chair. dying. ill. (<-9hr shift soldering without a respirator 😭 because i am so fucking stupid) #the shop does have like a rudimentary exhaust system but it was not ENOUGH. #and my respirator needs new cartridges. boooooohoohoohoohooooo #.txt

heads up, we're gonna be traveling for the next week starting tonight, so if I'm not around as much and am even worse about answering messages this is why

#wish me luck I am equally excited to be in the mountains and visit friends and afraid I'm gonna get covid again aaahah :') #I am bringing my good respirator on the airplane and just trusting that our hosts and their friends are gonna be safe to hang out with #I'M ALSO A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT BEING IN THE BEAR ZONE AND THE SNAKES THAT ARE ACTUALLY VENOMOUS ZONE #I know both those things are statistically very safe actually and I know how to behave around snakes but it's still a bit intimidating #prayer circle for me to actually sketch and watercolor while we're out there too!! #I got my NEW PAINTS I got a FRESH NEW ARCHES PAPER WATERCOLOR SKETCHBOOK I MADE FOR THIS TRIP I am READY #about me

The Project N95 shop will remain OPEN until December 15th, 2023.

Reblog to circulate post on Tumblr

I'm uncertain if there's a way to save this non profit but I'd like to encourage us all to try. We already lost another this past year 'Body Politic' because they did not get the financial supported needed to continue, which included expansion to be able to operate well.

Part of building community and a better future involves investing. And we cannot hope to have resources, infrastructure and responses to meet the progressive derailing and degrading conditions and societies around us without doing so.

It requires time, energy, heart and sometimes yes, money. The more we put into projects like this, local and small companies, sustainability, kindness, deconstructing & decolonization and less of ourselves and resources into people, organizations and projects that do not care about us or are harming us, we actually have a road to the bright possibilities we hope and speak of so beautifully.

i finally bought my own respirator for work (for using hazardous glues) and i was searching online to make sure i was getting the right mask for the cartridges i need. and 90% of the questions in the question section were asking if they worked to prevent covid. which i get but it was very frustrating like please i am just trying to see if this will protect me from inhaling toluene.

#i have not just been rawdogging gluing btw #we had communal respirators at my old job that we would wipe w/ alcohol in between uses #(most ppl had their own and i kept saying i would get my own but i'm so easily distractable) #but new job they provide replacement cartridges but you gotta buy yr own respirator

[toytulini]

thinking about masks again and i really should jist bite the bullet and buy some god damn reusable respirators to have. like 1 or 2. i have a couple particular ones in mind but. just. ugh. the logistics

#toy txt post #like my face isnt That Weird shaped to be like an actual problem but i feel like small jaw/chin + Big Nose + smallish head is like. #just slightly enough outside their Normal Person Head Shape to make masks tricky to fit? idk #can you bitches just give me a beak already ffs #anyway #thats more stressful w reusable respirators vs like. disposable ones that i already figured that shit out w #and im looking at. flo mask. i like the low profile shape and how discreet it is compared to the other reusable respirators #but someone i trust the Mask Quality Opinions of on twitter awhile ago pointed out that its a new company and theres a bit more of a risk of #them going out of business or smth and then you wont be able to buy more filters #vs brands like. 3m and dentec etc that are like. More Established(tm) ig? and like #common for industrial use? so like idk even if they went out of business tomorrow its like okay well theyre common enough someone will #prolly step in and make replacement filters still right? #idk #all things seem to have pros and cons #for one #the industrialness of dentec and 3m make their websites godawful to use and do not feel like i should be buying from them #like goddamn i feel like i need to be a contractor putting in an order for 100 of them to buy from them its Weird #hostile #also i think the person who said that on twitter was either. naomi wu @realsexycyborg or someone she retweeted or a bit of both #like she retweeted and then added her own thoughts. cred there #also saw someone who printed custom vinyl to decorate her reusable respirators and it looked cool as shit #but also like. that seems like it would make it even harder to clean? #guh. i should just. get one and try it. maybe itll seal better and have that magical perfect fit and not be That hard to clean

ok. ok i know this is technically the third redesign of hapa but hear me out. this is specifically hapa as new agent 3 post splat3 hero mode. i just really like the idea that they get permanently affected by being exposed to huge amounts of fuzzy ooze

once again putting random headcanons + random thoughts on this weirdo under the cut. warning for some vague mentions/spoilers of things that happen during/at the end of hero mode!!!

-is now permanently growing something that technically isnt fur; the "fur" is ink-based + carries the same color as their ink. can be dissolved via the intake of power eggs + submersion in ink. stays short and velvety if maintained this way. can and will grow out if they cant regularly get their hands on power eggs (or golden eggs, which tend to work more effectively)

-respirator worn during battles and agent work. previous inhalation of aerosolized fuzzy ooze + being launched into space made their lungs (gills???) more sensitive to things like foreign ink. also helps contain excreted neurotoxins. unfortunately makes them even harder to understand than usual since they always sound muffled with it on

-"claws" are made from keratinized ink. regularly filed to keep from getting too sharp/bothersome

-bowlegged; walks and stands almost exclusively on their toes

-tentacles are NOT covered in the fuzz, but are still fuzzy looking; octopuses can change their texture, they just can't smooth out all the way anymore

#stuff i make #splatoon 3 #splatoon 3 spoilers #hapa #splatoon oc #splatoon new agent 3 #also yeah i did in fact reach lvl 20 in the catalogue just because i really REALLY wanted that respirator #at some point ill make my versions of the captain + the other agents.... hehehe #also you KNOW im going to draw beast hapa covered in longer fuzz eventually #love it when experiences leave the protagonist changed permanently both mentally and physically <3

Might just order myself a half mask two way respirator, I've had it up to shit with this darn particle

#I mean a more heavy duty one than a kn95 #I think those are technically respirators too #We actually just got a new type of mask that's a 99 that I'm excited to try #But I'd like something that fits really really well #Wouldn't it be good if more people's reactions to being tired of the darn particle was an increased desire for safety for themselves and #their communities and to hold the governments accountable and eliminate the darn particle #instead of pretending it doesn't exist #covid-19

man wtf i thought 2 years ago someone let a skunk let out a big gassy one into the dorms and made the whole place smell like soy sauce and garbage for like 3 days, but now I’m smelling the EXACT same smell. man is that weed? what kind of dollar store brand fking weed is that it smells like ass, get better weed, this one smells like shit. the bathroom already smells like the most rank of piss for no discernible reason why does my dorm gotta smell like garbo. man every other smoker in this god forsaken building has better smelling weed than this what IS THAT BRAND GET RID OF IT.

#coral yaps #tw: drugs #tw: marijuana #2022 #i had to think about how to spell that #btw i do not smoke the weed i'm an incredibly boring person also i am super not allowed to do that bc of career reasons #and i don't have anything against people smoking weed #i do take issue is that the people in this god damn building smoke so much damn weed i need to get a respirator bc it's truly horrid #last semester it used to be so bad that the room smelled like weed but if i stood one foot by my door to the hallway #i could FEEL a wall of stank. that's not a joke it was like a physical wall of weed smell. #it's almost impressive #anyways that was a terrible 4 months #our student building leader flipped her shit because they smoked so much that she could barely breath so it's wayyy better this semester #now it just kind of stinks like once a week #but it's ignoreable #so like super chill smoke your weed at least i can breath #but this weed brand is pretty terrible get a higher quality weed this is stanky #if this is high quality weed save your money #this came out of left field so uh high new people following me #i live in a shitty dorm and i can't wait to move out #it's fking may and they haven't turned off the radiator please it's like 80 degrees in here #DID I WRITE HIGH I MEANT HI WOW THAT IS WONDERFULLY IRONIC #this along with this years absolutely stressful schedule and coming back from quarantine with crippling lack of social skills is making #this year truly interesting. which is to say terrible. at least club is amazing. oh i love club so much <3 my bestest of friends i love them

NEW: COVID19 variant of interest JN.1

Geneva, 19 December 2023 -- Due to its rapidly increasing spread, WHO is classifying the variant JN.1 as a separate variant of interest (VOl) from the parent lineage BA.2.86. It was previously classified as VOl as part of BA.2.86 sublineages.

WHO advises people to take measures to prevent infections and severe disease using all available tools. These include:

-Wear a mask when in crowded, enclosed, or poorly ventilated areas, and keep a safe distance from others, as feasible

-Improve ventilation

-Practise respiratory etiquette - covering coughs and sneezes

-Clean your hands regularly

-Stay up to date with vaccinations against COVID-19 and influenza, especially if you are at high risk for severe disease

-Stay home if you are sick

-Get tested if you have symptoms, or if you might have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 or influenza

For health workers and health facilities, WHO advises:

-Universal masking in health facilities, as well as appropriate masking, respirators and other PPE for health workers caring for suspected and confirmed COVID-19 patients.

-Improve ventilation in health facilities
