really hoping this is like all the pandemic false alarms that used to go off every year or two prior to COVID and not like COVID
do you guys remember that? in the before times, every year there was some new disease that was going to become a globe spanning pandemic and it always just fizzled out
Y’all already masking anyway for the current pandemic, right?
Ugh i don’t want to step up from the n95 k to the p100 respirator means i gotta shave my beard for a good mask seal. : p
Everyone thinks *i’m sick when they see me in a mask with my post-covid cough and it’s like nah, y’all are the heralds of nergal i’m just vibing.
I’ve heard positive things online about the envo mask from folks with beards. Might have to do a bit of shaping for it tho.
A couple years back i shelled out for a real fancy full face dual filter cartridge respirator. It rocks, it really does. It’s this huge bane looking thing with a face shield and everything but it’s more comfortable than a paper mask. Only downside is no one can understand me when I talk. : (
I thought I had the same issue, so I tried out one with a speaking diaphragm to help out. Turns out a lot of people were just pretending not to be able to hear me! I figured that one out after deciding to calmly recite a small collection of cursewords and insults every time someone tells me they can’t understand and seeing the looks on their faces.

I’m sure we can cope with this well, and all band together to make our public health measures work.
Looks like a bunch of their contacts were tested and nobody tested positive, and they didn’t have contact with a farm… Where the fuck did they contract it from?!
Afaik many birds can carry it. Could be a gull or a canada goose maybe?

Unending social murder
How many more will die to keep the blood-treats flowing?
Pls, not again
doesn’t Matt think wearing a mask is too woke or something lol
Please you all, do your best to stay safe
So do we change the name to “human formerly known as bird flu” now?
This is deeply unfortunate
