I've seen a lot of this sort of mask wearing in the selfie trend. Does the bridge of your nose have a corner? NO! When you leave that crease in, you're leaving a gap that COVID can enter! See it in the profile? But it's the shape, right? What can you do? Here's an easy fix.🧵

Today's a great day to remember that, if you need a doctor's note to wear a mask at work: 1. The CDC has helpfully provided a list of high risk conditions which can necessitate masking in order to protect yourself or a loved one, and... 2. Many of them are very, very common.

If necessary, such as for a very high nose bridge like mine, you may also needed remove the mask and gently extend or smooth the new curves you've created to get a gapless fit. Just re-smooth to the face after re-donning the mask. Et voila! No more corner gap, and no more leaks!

1. Open up that creased wire until it is completely flat. 2. Mold the nose wire FIRMLY with BOTH hands, pressing into the natural indents & shaping to your face. NOTE: Two hand forming is best practices for all masks, regardless of style & prevents the creation of new creases.

Reminder: The "95" in "N95" stands for 95% filtration efficiency. The fewer people mask, the more uncontrolled transmission there is... The more uncontrolled transmission, the more covid is in the air... And the more covid is in the air, the more concentrated that 5% becomes.

When you first open up a front-folded KN95 or N95 mask, it will have a crisp, mechanical corner. This is what we've got to remove to get rid of that gap that's breaking the seal of the respirator against our face. We need to achieve a natural face-shaped curve, instead. But how?

I know but most of the people who follow me here originally followed me because of covid content. And some of you may be wondering why I'm suddenly not talking about covid so much. And the answer is that I still am, because what I'm ACTUALLY talking about isn't just covid. 1/

The total limit is 8 tests per household per order. Make sure to get every single one that you're allotted. You will know you've hit your maximum when you attempt to process an order and receive this alert. Again, here is the link to order tests: 2/2

"Don't compare what's happening right now to the Holocaust." Mark my words. As a Jew and as a student of the Holocaust, I will stop making the comparison when it stops being comparable. Only then, and not a moment before. CN death of a child / death by fire . . .

@janhopi ID: Photo of 4 cheetahs in churning, muddy water. Only their heads are visible over the roiling current. It is clearly an effort & each of them is in a most profound state of misery, ranging from "augh" to "fuck this entirely," as evidenced by the various grimaces & squinty eyes.

Given recent news and the increased risk of clotting after even mild cases of acute COVID, this seems like a good time to learn the signs and symptoms of a possible stroke or TIA. 🚨 Remember, every second counts, so "BE FAST" 🚨

If necessary, such as for a very high nose bridge like mine, you may also needed remove the mask and gently extend or smooth the new curves you've created to get a gapless fit. Just re-smooth to the face after re-donning the mask. Et voila! No more corner gap, and no more leaks!

@El_Rubino @parasocialyte Oh, good try and all, but that doesn't make it Jewish, which is not a "denomination" but rather an intact and separate faith with entirely different funeral and burial rites that directly conflict with Christian hegemonic cemetery norms.

Reminder that, if you use a neti pot or do other sinus irrigation: - Distilled is best and safest. After that is water that has been brought to a rolling boil, boiled for 2 full min, then left to fully cool. - Add buffered salts to make it a gentler, safer saline solution. 1/3

@LauraMiers @blackgirlinmain Honestly. There are so many reasons not to do this. Even if you don't GAF about other people. 1. Why would you want to risk taking on more viral load or a different strain than you already have going on? 2. Are you *trying* to overexert and end up with greater odds of Long Covid?
