Covid cautious folks…. I’ve got a dilemma. I’m sick and throwing up so it’s hard for me to mask.
I’ve had a plumbing emergency and someone will be in my unit for approximately 2 hours tomorrow. They will wear an N95 and be in bathroom with exhaust fan on. I will be in bedroom at opposite end of apartment.
I’ve got multiple air purifiers and will open the window in the main living space.
Would you be comfortable not masking under those circumstances? I will mask to let him in obviously.
It’s Been a heck of a 24 hours and I highly doubt I would be able to keep the mask on sadly. My face is too swollen to tolerate it at all right now.
Any tips appreciated!

Hospital acquired Covid has a 10% fatality rate.
It’s almost completely preventable with respirators and clean air, but healthcare facilities have chosen a policy of forced infection instead.
Let this case set a precedent & start forcing hospitals to adopt airborne precautions!

Went to a Valentine’s Day themed lindy hop social today. Had tried to match my face mask with my outfit, and above by the theme.
Some person: it must be so uncomfortable to wear a mask like that.
Me: I prefer this over getting sick.
Person : of course! You do you! Don’t worry, you don’t need to be ashamed of that!
C’mon. Do I look like I’m ashamed of masking?
Forgive the very sweaty bathroom selfie. It was a nice party and the band was excellent!

"Winter Olympic athletes are rightfully taking COVID-19 precautions"
"Olympians, just like anyone, are at risk of Long COVID. Studies have shown that the risk of the disabling disease may increase with each SARS-CoV-2 infection and trigger or worsen diagnoses."
"The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing as the virus continues to spread around the world unchecked, causing further death and disability. The virus has caused over 25 million excess deaths, while more than 400 million people have been affected by Long COVID."

The excellent and freely distributable COVID Zine has been updated for 2026.
https://newlevant.com/COVIDzine
This is among the most concise and well cited sources for the current state of #Covid knowledge and tools. Even for well-informed people who already take strong precautions, there is still likely something new to be learned by giving it a read through.

Rant:
I take dance classes a few times a week. I always wear a KF94 mask. I know it isn’t perfect, but those are the ones that fit my face best and, at least from my experience so far, they seem to sufficiently protect me against germs from people who are pre- or a-symptomatic. However: I have the rule that if somebody tells me that they are sick, I leave. Today was such a day. I arrived, talked to someone, and a few minutes into the conversation they volunteered that they are sick, so I got dressed and left again.
I know there’s worse things in the world, but I’m still annoyed. Especially because of the attitude that I get when I explain this. People tell me that I don’t have to apologise for my behaviour. I mean… I wasn’t planning to. So I just say nothing and leave, but it feels really shitty.
I know that people also censor any photos and videos taken at events. As in: if I’m in it, they don’t upload them, because I don’t look “gezellig” enough. I don’t mind that pics and vids of me aren’t shared publicly, but the reason pisses me off.

Has anyone tried making a PAPR or HEPA stroller? A few people have mentioned the concept but the only source I've found is this one paper: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-2430680/v1
I'd love practical tips. Right now I can't go into stores with my baby because she can't mask, having the ability to wheel her inside would greatly expand what I can do while caring for my child. Also useful during wildfire smoke.

Relatively major culture-maker Boing Boing is running the headline:
COVID pandemic enters seventh year with no end in sight
and the article is not ableist, not bullshit, not denying reality. Nice!
