covid poll, morbid curiosity 

Which ones?

covid poll, morbid curiosity 

@pamela@bsd.network I mean, I never stopped masking and am astonished that for such a simple thing people don't just wear them all the time now

re: covid poll, morbid curiosity 

@pagrus all I can figure is people never actually sized themselves into an N95 that works for them. I don't mind mine at all. The first several lower grade masks were kinda hard to breathe through, but a decent one I just forget is there anyway

@pagrus @pamela yeah my mother has really struggled to find a (k)n95 that fits her, and its definitely impacted her willingness to wear masks, unfortunately. And then due to knowing how much fit issues can impair effectiveness, its definitely harder to argue about as well :/

re: covid poll, family members 

@Satsuma @pagrus yeah, that's tough! and kind of another in the long line of "we shouldn't all have to, if only enough of us would..." :(

I haaaated the ones shaped like beaks, and that's all I could find for awhile. I wish there were a better way to predict which will fit decently without resorting vaguely to seeing how they sit on other people or buying them and giving them away later

re: covid poll, family members 

@pamela@bsd.network @Satsuma@glitch.cat.family maybe I am just used to looking dorky or unfashionable but I really didn't/don't give two shits about how they look, which is perhaps not... normal

re: covid poll, family members 

@pamela@bsd.network @Satsuma@glitch.cat.family which, clearly, is different from fit issues but I think not totally unrelated

re: covid poll, family members 

@pagrus @pamela she’s not bothered by how they look— soft collagen runs in the family so anything with earloops are out for all of us—auras have worked well for me and my dad but they’re too large for her and (to a slightly lesser extent) my older sibling.

re: covid poll, family members 

@pagrus @Satsuma oh I don't care what they look like, they just had nowhere to rest on my face, I don't have set-forward bone enough to hold them. I have to go the route of the kind that press down on your nose and up on your jaw. Which, like, how on earth would you anticipate that? XD they should sell sample packs

re: covid poll, family members 

@pamela @pagrus yeah I feel like you should be able to like, go to your gp or local health clinic or whatever and fit test a bunch of masks and insurance (or really the govt) should just cover that as a Normal Part Of Preventative Healthcare
