Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

Testing has found that surgical masks are less effective than cloth masks (thread count dependent) are less effective than N95 masks.Fit is important. Surgical masks and N95 masks have a strip of soft embedded metal that can be bent so that the mask conforms precisely around the nose. Be sure the mask is right side up. It is easy to see the metal strip on an N95 mask, but not on a surgical mask because it is sewn inside - you have to feel for the metal strip.Cloth masks have no metal strip. People wearing a cloth mask usually have an open area around the nose. People wearing a cloth mask on the tip of their nose (which is quite common) have a rather large open area around the nose. Because of the fit problem around the nose, cloth masks are probably worse than properly fitted surgical masks, and certainly worse than properly fitted N95 masks.Wearing a mask below the nose is like wearing no mask at all.Having a condition that makes it impossible to wear a mask does not render one invulnerable or uncontagious. If you cannot wear a mask you should never go near anyone who is also not wearing a mask.Lastly, falsely claiming you cannot wear a mask is despicable.--Percy

 For those unfamiliar with TCP/IP and with C[-ish]:

• 255.255.255.0 is a Class C subnet mask that is used to identify which subnet a host is on.
• 127.0.0.1 is localhost, meaning the host that the program is running on.
• || is the OR relational operator in C and related languages.

Therefore: "Wear a mask or stay at home."

Nerd.

Well, a week ago I happened into a close unmasked encounter with a stranger. I have come down with some sort of bug, although my test results from a Wednesday 10-13-21 saliva test did come back negative.I did have my 2 doses of Moderna, and my symptoms are mild.Per instruction from the owner, I took Wednesday night off from my night cleaning job at the vet clinic. I am the only one in the building for that job. I presume the negative results are good enough for me to resume there.I have continued my night job at the radio station, where I have at most minimal contact with others. I think that same time presence will now be cut down to none. Unfortunately, I've managed to make myself near absolutely essential for the station to operate.Moose

Sounds like contract renegotiation time.Bargain for periodic parties (masked) so you're not so lonely. Stand up to the man and demand they include all the puppies from the Vet's in the parties.Do pets get covid?

.The radio system is that I get paid 1 hour a day, 7 days a week. Then I put down 3 hours per day as volunteer time. The vet clinic is about 2 to 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. So, between the 2, I'm about a half time worker.Both jobs pay pretty well as I see it, $15/hr at the radio and $16/hr (IIRC) at the vet clinic. With my humble low expense existence, I get by pretty well on that.I'm a natural social distancer, even before COVID. I'm probably high on the list of people least effected by COVID. Other than one day at the clinic pending the COVID test results, that pandemic has not impacted my job operations. If anything, my time at both job locations has increased.And I'm a cat person, so puppies would be a bad thing.Cats are susceptible to COVID. Not that I've heard of for dogs. Not that I'm in that loop, but I haven't heard of any cat COVID cases at the place I work.MooseEdited by Minnemooseus, : Added first 2 paragraphs.
