Has anyone else seen the video that all the major social media platforms keep removing? What a crock of ****
A group of people claiming to be doctors telling us that hydrochlorique (sp) works for treating Covid 19. All we have to do is take it, and everything will be over in 30 days.
No evidence, no data, not even one visual.
The BLM heckler at the end is the highlight.
The problem with Trump, etc - is that he takes a grain of truth, repeats it as gospel and discredits good ideas by taking them over...
I wouldn't say that a Yale Epidemiologist is crackpot. A very well written article that should make you pause.

And I want you to stop acting like the resident expert here on everything.
No I just happen to actually read articles instead of headlines.
Wear whatever you like.. I was just providing a real life example as an option... but you like to piss and moan. I get it.

No health care professional is using them twice at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary where my wife works. Cancer patients have compromised immune systems from chemo & radiation therapy. No physician or nurse in their right mind would ever wear a used N95 mask treating them & putting their lives at risk.
Well no kidding.
but you’re talking about driving a school bus no? Or do you work with cancer patients too
But when I sat medical personnel are reusing masks - it’s just true that’s all - never claimed ER doctors or cancer care nurses should ...
I just wanted you to stop complaining

Actually reusing an n95 mask is more about consideration for other people since supplies are strained...
Supplies may be strained but I bet cost is a consideration.
You completely made this up and have zero knowledge of the n95 medical supply chain - dental offices are not 'skimping' on PPE just to save some money... this is just an asinine assumption to make
If you have four masks, you basically rotate their use each day and store the others in a paper bag in a clean environment.
Not really...see below
The actual instructions are in the CDC document. This is literally on the first page of the document...
- Hang used respirators in a designated storage area or keep them in a clean, breathable container such as a paper bag between uses. To minimize potential cross-contamination, store respirators so that they do not touch each other and the person using the respirator is clearly identified. Storage containers should be disposed of or cleaned regularly.
Yes in a perfect world they are single use... but they remain effective for a month - so instead of wasting 28 n95 masks or more - you use four in a month.
N95 respirators can be safely decontaminated without undermining functional integrity only two or three times, a government study showed.Apr 15, 2020
I provided you with the official CDC document - yet simply to prove that you didn't even skim through it, you cite an article from a quick google search... smh.
ONCE AGAIN... in the CDC document that you failed to read...
If no manufacturer guidance is available, preliminary data(19, 20) suggests limiting the number of reuses to no more than five uses per device to ensure an adequate safety margin.
So given that this is the advice for a medical professionals and in EVERY set of policies they always suggest conservative regulations - telling a bus driver (Speedflex) that he can use four masks over a month... pretty reasonable - given that he's already social distancing.
Four masks covers four weeks of work days. That is a month. The end. Again.
I guess I am going down the rabbit hole... answers in red above.
That's enough education for today. Go back to posting articles - its your strength. Run with it.

In the time it took you to google search that gif... you could have just checked my two actual posts about n95 masks and then apologized for posting incorrect information.

I don’t know why, when you’re pinned down on the information you supply, that you double down on it without thinking it through.
Oh well, at least you think you’re engaging.
I went down the Mr. Dee rabbithole of twisted logic once... I'll pass this time thanks.
Medical professionals are re-using n95 masks by storing them in paper bags... this is a basic fact. Its not a claim or debate.
The CDC site covers all the information you need - including exactly how to properly handle and store n95 masks - in paper bags - for reuse.
Yes its better to throw them away after one use... unless its a pandemic and a supply shortage.
I just have no idea what you are trying to argue - or what additional words you are reading in my two original posts. But hey if you want to pat yourself on the back or endear yourself to one of the more popular posters on here... go right ahead.

Hey don't be salty that you took a swing at me after you posted a piece that basically confirms what I was saying.
There was a debate about re-using N95s, I chimed in with what was going on simple as that.
Haha... no the link confirmed what I was saying - medical experts are using paper bags as a means of reusing n95 masks. It still confirms that.
There was no debate - I simply stated that n95 masks are technically reuseable - several people mistakenly disagreed based on incorrect assumptions and then even after I posted a link correcting them, you guys are still managing to be 'right' by adding imaginary claims to my post.
Like the post I just quoted.

I love how you're deeply trying to be part of this conversation.... ha
Yes Mr. Dee you are more of an N95 expert than the dentist my step daughter works for - a dental office that was deemed a necessary service and has been open all pandemic... is that what you would like me to say?

Except it isn't that simple and the link you posted demonstrates just that. Being able to reuse a N95 mask safely goes way beyond necessity.
Actually reusing an n95 mask is more about consideration for other people since supplies are strained...

Yes in a perfect world they are single use... but they remain effective for a month - so instead of wasting 28 n95 masks or more - you use four in a month.
Not sure what is so deeply offensive about this basic scientifically proven concept.

Who is changing their argument? I literally said they are supposed to be single use but people are re-using them because of a shortage.
Best practices for N-95 is no re-use.
The end.
My initial post stated that n95 can be reused as the dental office my step daughter works at is reusing them effectively. Therefore it is possible - addressing Speedflex's concerns.
You chimed in that they 'supposed' to be single use... a point which literally no one was arguing against.
But sure congratulations.

This is totally going to happen:
I think he will just keep escalating the 'crisis' in democratic cities... he doesn't need any policy or success or anything to win - they just need to suppress the relatively small proportion of the population to rig the vote
I wouldn't be surprised at all if he now uses covid-precautions as an excuse to make voting nearly impossible for blacks and latinos.

They weren't designed for reuse & you can tell by the wording of that article that reusing them isn't a good idea. My wife has been an RN for 35 years & I'll go by her word as she is has been trained & is an expert on masks as that is her job.
You were the one complaining about not having any options etc etc... I simply presented you with an option that medical professionals are, in fact, using.
This option allows you to extend the life of 4-5 masks for one month... likely more if you are not in a medical environment - i.e. a school bus

Oh look... it's a piece about linited re-use to conserve supplies during shortages.
So like I said. They are designed to be single use but people are using them multiple times because they're hard to find right now.
Oh look you’re changing the argument because you were wrong
Yes you can reuse n95 masks if necessary - the end

The Cancel Culture won't be reading history books if they become offended with the word "Bombers". It won't be about Joe Louis. It'll be about war. It will be about being offended with such a vile name. It will be about B52's carpet bombing North Vietnam. It'll be about the Enola Gay, a B29 dropping the Atomic bomb on Hiroshima. With our military inspired hockey logo, they'll come after the Jets as well. They'd be smart to go back to... At least it looks like a commercial jet in the logo.
Someone missed their morning meds...

N95 masks are only used once, unfortunately & are expensive. They have to be form fitted. I doubt we'll get any compensation for using them. I'll certainly have hand sanitizer in my personal bag I carry on the bus everyday. I think our employer might do that on our buses. At least I hope so. Thanks for the kind words.
My stepdaughter works at a dental clinic... you can reuse n95 masks if you put them in a paper bag overnight. I would ask someone in the medical field for a second opinion but this is what their office is doing based on their experts.

And just so no one accuses me of Huttertism... I think these guys ****** it up for the rest of us too.

I'm curious about the claim there is a store that said NO HUTTERITES ALLOWED!
You would think they would name it. Do some shaming 🤔
Again - through all of covid - rational arguments have to deal with these outlier arguments... of course no store should say 'no hutterite allowed'... but if we are keeping with covid rules then everyone in an infected hutterite colony should have to quarantine for two weeks if they leave that colony.
We do it province by province... why allow covid to spread from a known cluster.

Tight as a drum, according to what I have been hearing. One colony is having a funeral where only members of that colony will be able to attend. Tough call to make, but at the same time really a no brainer.
Except you obviously were not 'tight as a drum' when the rest of the province was... you are not 'forced' to live communally - you do it by choice and yes you are doing it the best that you can - but you have a religious exemption that has now caused a spike and is now affecting everyone else who did obey the rules.
This is not persecuting a culture - its dealing with a relgious group's exemption that has now ****** the rest of us.
