    - Yeah, I was sort of approaching from the other side. I thought people would not test positive within the first few days after contact so the test is - pmb Jul 28, 08:51 2
      - This right here is a huge problem. None of us know the facts about testing, transmission, etc. We've heard so many different things over the last - Krusty Jul 28, 08:53 1

  - LOve the octopus. -- nm - loosilu Jul 28, 08:31 7

      - I have not tried polyester. Finding one that's good in hot weather is hard. -- nm - loosilu Jul 28, 08:34 5
        
        It’s very comfy and light. I’ve been wearing it in 100 degree weather. Very breathable. -- (link) - kelly Jul 28, 08:40 4

  - i don't know how people have so few. I am pretty anal about washing them constantly, and i don't like to rewear them for hours and hours. -- nm - Andie Jul 28, 08:23 5
    - I wear one each day and then wash. -- nm - Judge Bane Jul 28, 08:34
    - of course, if you are 100% work from home, it's a lot easier! -- nm - Andie Jul 28, 08:24 3
      - I honestly barely wear one given my circumstances - decline Jul 28, 08:30 1

      - Have I ever told you that you are a *great* person? -- nm - Spawn Jul 28, 08:18
- So like, what are the best masks? I have not looked into this at all, but with the Melbourne drama I might get a few. - mafic Jul 28, 08:14 3
  - Personal taste. I like loops behind ears for convenience, when i'm in and out of the car. - loosilu Jul 28, 08:29
  - i like the accordion ones that tie around above ears, around neck (got a hack for that... use hair ties to make them quick tighten). material is - colin Jul 28, 08:21

    - thanks! I'll check out the request. :) -- nm - loosilu Jul 28, 08:24
  - i like the ties. -- nm - Andie Jul 28, 08:08
- 3 black ones. Keep them in various places in case I need one. Car, home, etc. -- nm - the ice Jul 28, 08:04
Ugh. Trying to find a new place to rent is such a hassle. Stuff is available less than a week typically. - sycor Jul 28, 08:02
Good Christ - how the hell do I know so many nutjobs? Have at least 2 people who've shared that Stella Immanual video on my FB feed. nm -- (edited) - Daniel Prime Jul 28, 07:54 16

- I haven't seen the video, so I google and the first link is to this BBC site and I thought I was going insane for a second -- (link) - decline Jul 28, 08:01
- It's a friendly reminder that being an MD (or DO) does not preclude you from being a little woo-woo. -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Jul 28, 07:59 1
  - I mean just look at Dr. Britt Baker? -- nm - Qale Jul 28, 08:07
- FB -- nm - Spawn Jul 28, 07:56
- I won't even look at my feed right now. -- nm* - loosilu Jul 28, 07:55
- If I see that shit on my feed, I legit may have to unfriend. - Judge Bane Jul 28, 07:55 2
  - I've muted most of my crazier relatives. Looks like I got a friend of the inlaws to unfriend. LOL. -- nm - Epiphany loves Elsie Jul 28, 08:23

    - Bunch of traitors on ST today. - Krusty Jul 28, 08:06 12
      - OTOH wearing the American flag on a mask would be disrespectful and against the Flag Code -- nm - Roger More Jul 28, 08:14 7
        
        It would and I don't own one of those either. - Krusty Jul 28, 08:18

        Challenge accepted! - Judge Bane Jul 28, 08:35 1
        
        I mean, NZ is COVID free so probably. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 08:39
        
        And Trump should sell those on his website, too. -- nm - Spawn Jul 28, 08:17

    - I keep getting tempted by those too. -- nm - loosilu Jul 28, 07:55
  - Five bucks for a mask ain’t bad at all. -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 07:52 5
    - that's some weird math ($55/5 = $11) -- nm - Andie Jul 28, 07:53 4
      - He meant pounds. -- nm - Spawn Jul 28, 08:00 3

    - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 08:06 1
      - And Trumps. -- nm - Spawn Jul 28, 08:13

        I will say that moped drivers need to be mandated to wear a helmet and to stay off roads that have a higher speed than 25 mph. - Krusty Jul 28, 08:52
