Coronavirus COVID-19

If you are wearing a cotton, polyester, etc. face mask (avoid spandex) and want to increase filtration, poly-fiber industrial towels have been found to be beneficial:

My dad was in the biggest nursing home outbreak in the country. NYT articles, ABC news. Everything. He has it but is ok, but 45 people died in a place that is small, basically a rehab centre. Surreal stuff. Reading about it online with all these idiots calling it a hoax , all these trump lunatics spreading bullshit. It makes me angry to be honest. Gullible morons are ruining the world. 

Some more awesome corona corruption!

I ordered a gaiter from Chrome: https://www.chromeindustries.com/product/merino-gaiter/AC-181-BK-NA.html?q=gaiter

Who knows if it will show up. I didn't get emailed a receipt, so hopefully it comes at some point. Otherwise, I'll need to figure out how to fashion a mask from an old shirt and show laces.

Ngl, I’ll be sad when this is over.

It's had silver linings especially from an ecological standpoint, albeit with devastating side effects. The fact that already too many people have died is nothing to rejoice in for me.

In the newspaper this morning: the best material to make facial masks out of: vacuum cleaner bags.

Unused ones, presumably. Har har.

When forced to wear masks, I'll be looking at coffee filters. Or those antifa scarfs.

It'll be a sign of desperation though. When governments are going to force people to wear masks. But whatever.

How effective are Freddy masks?

There's also the good ol' ninja mask from a t-shirt

Read some research about them being more effective when you combine them with the glove and the sweater.

Must say, Fauci has unbelievably high levels of patience to deal with stupid. Unbelievably high levels of stupid.

Tests show COVID is indeed susceptible to sunlight amd heat, possibly providing relief in Summer, and protection to areas near the Equator?

Your silence speaks louder than words.  Is this some kind of protest your pulling?

@Rubin Farr - looks at Britain on map, shrugs like Caesar & Napoleon with the question "three hot summers on the trot, are they having a fuckin laugh?"

Liberate America! These people are too stupid. Mass collapse and death coming. And yet Trumps approval is up. Amaze!

I wonder how long before they start saying they are sick of hearing about this elite hot topic known as Covid-19 and claim it as out of touch with everyday Murica concerns. Death? Healthcare? Jobs! Right to be a dkhead!

Good article but it obviously isn't only about the help Italy will receive but also about how the Italian media communicates this or if at all.
