<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://wandering.shop/@xgranade" class="u-url mention">@<span>xgranade</span></a></span> I felt like I didn&#39;t want the additional overhead of figuring out what grade of protection I want if I can have a highest one at all times</p><p>that said, since covid severity seems to be viral load dependent, I do take that into account--taking the respi off for a minute very much != taking it off for a hour in the same environment</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> I&#39;ve generally stuck to N95s for casual, and the P100 for high-exposure. And yeah, that strategy hasn&#39;t been perfect... I did catch it once and it&#39;s kind of fucked everything up now.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://wandering.shop/@xgranade" class="u-url mention">@<span>xgranade</span></a></span> yeah, it&#39;s mainly about convenicene--wearing the MSA 900 for 10 hours a day does eventually get a bit tiring but only a bit, and incomparably to actually getting covid yourself, much less infecting someone you care about</p><p>I think a hallmark of its effectiveness is that we only got a cold once in several years now and it was virtually certainly around someone we did not wear a respirator around</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> I haven&#39;t, but I am now, thank you! </p><p>Our 3M-brand P100s aren&#39;t nearly as nice as that, but they were good enough to keep us safe at FFXIV Fan Fest, so I&#39;m a firm believer in respirators, to be sure.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://wandering.shop/@xgranade" class="u-url mention">@<span>xgranade</span></a></span> (I don&#39;t take it off in trains, which I consider orders of magnitude higher risk than even being stuck with the same 10 guys in a hotel conference room, for obvious reasons)</p><p>I haven&#39;t had evidence of catching covid since starting wearing it, although it is possible we&#39;ve had a extremely mild asymptomatic case that we missed</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://wandering.shop/@xgranade" class="u-url mention">@<span>xgranade</span></a></span> ever considered an MSA 900? I wear it everywhere (even and especially to e.g. high risk mandatory attendance corporate events) and I consider the increase in risk ~negligible, especially if I don&#39;t take it off to eat indoors (which I sometimes do, depending on my comfort level and who else I&#39;d be exposing)</p>

love exalty is now 10 dollar because we feel like it's worth that much now hopefully we're right
