    How do people do with masks, do you have enough to switch everyday and throw them in with the washing... like I don't know socks... or do you handwash a few? Etc.
    I have 4 or 5 I rotate through, then wash on the weekend.

    I only wear the medical ones from work and if I have to go anywhere near COVID floor I put my N95 on..

    I've given up on the cloth masks that have to be washed. I also gave up on the made in China crap found all over Amazon. I just received my first box of 50 legit surgical masks from this company https://mask.demetech.us/SurgicalMask.html  They are well-made and fit securely. Made in USA.

    Yeah, those I can find in the pharmacy. But they are not as cool looking as the black ones...

    Re. Masks. 
    N95 are the highest spec but for medical use.
    Face coverings stop aerosolization and limit viral  load. So if everyone wears one cuts around 80% out.
    There is a good test. Put mask in and try blow a lighter or candle out .
    This. The non-95 provide a good amount of protection, especially if everyone is wearing them.

    I gotta admit it seems strange for anyone in the 1st world to not have already bought a mask by now.

    I have both cloth and disposable (that makes them sound like diapers). I have about 10 cloth masks that I rotate each day, and then when I am down to two left, I hand wash the used ones and let them hand dry overnight. I don't have a washing machine in my apartment. However, if you do wash them in a machine, you should still hang dry them.

  • I think we are missing the  point here. The colour of mask matters not. Just wear one.

    Vitamin d3 is actually  a hormone  that regulates the immune  system.  Let me find  the evidence and i will post it here . 
    Most people are deficient.  Its vital in the  bodies response  to virus esspecaily respiratory, which is where covid enters the  body the  ace 2 receptors. 
    The  darker the  skin the less you can absorb from the  sun. And in hot countries  like African countries they are still deficient .
    So take 2000iu per day esspecaily over winter.  It cant harm you at these levels. And infact i can list many illnesses that vit d can prevent . Prostate cancer and other cancer. Ms. Many.
    There are people that worry  about taking massive amounts  because  its fat soluble so the body stores it and massive amounts may calcify but we are talking over like  60,000iu a day. So if you take vit k2 it channels any spare calcium back to the bones. 
    Any how i will post  a couple vids. Med cram is good and dr.john campbell.
    There  have been actual studies that confirm over 80%of patients in spains icu were  deficient.  So much so that some countries now give covid hospital admissions  a loading dose of 40,000 iu.

    SC, 

    The WHO has been recommending a 3 layer non-medical mask since June. Canada now is too, based on more research. 
    Smart is sexy.

    That said, I wore a black flimsy one over an N95 on a night out when I went a caught an intimate performance of a musician playing a crowd of 50 as I wanted to dress up. (I wore my Pearl Jam lollaparis outfit finally!)

    Edit for grammar.

    Came down with multiple symptoms yesterday including a fever. Thought I call my doctor and go get tested in the afternoon or evening. Nope. Earliest test I could get is Thursday at noon. The doctor said the testing centers in the Twin Cities are overwhelmed. Laying in bed today. No fever today and can still taste and smell, so I’m taking that as a good sign that it’s a regular cold.

    For covid? Absolutely.  

    I honestly didn’t mean it as a cutdown to anyone in particular. Just a foreign thought. I mean last year this time it would have been weird to think of owning a mask, not it’s fipped.
