In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Re: mask up!
Get over it Hipster. ^^^
I shaved off my wonderfully cultivated Ho Chi Minh last week.
LOL
And the masks still don't fit.
Might have to ask one of the lefty/greenie hating members to rearrange my jawline.

Re: mask up!
It's almost worth wearing a mask in public in Phnom Penh if you aren't sick because of how little manners a fair few Khmers have when it comes to covering their mouths when they cough and sneeze. 1 dirty, not so wise, covid-19 carrying tuktuk driver who caught it from ferrying people around the riverside all day sneezes downwind of you and boom, you may end up dealing with coronavirus.
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!
This.
This.

Re: mask up!
A shortage of masks is a joke. A piece of fabric with elastic straps, hardly a rocket ship. Old ladies with sewing machines could produce them by the millions and say the struck a blow against the virus. Surgical gowns too. Governments could do a bit more to increase the production N95 masks too.

Re: mask up!
That is exactly what many are doing, many of the masks at stalls/ shops around the city have been locally made.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

As long as its the right material. Sewing may not be "rocket science" but knowing what material is effective requires some scientific knowledge.rexwell wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 11:04 am A shortage of masks is a joke.

Governments could do a bit more to increase the production N95 masks too.
Face coverings made of fabric, public health experts note, aren't intended to protect wearers from getting sick, but rather, to prevent them from spreading the virus to others. And the guidance will still exclude using surgical or medical grade masks, which experts say should be reserved for people who are sick and for the health care workers who care for them.
Segal came up with the idea to study which fabrics would work best.
In partnership with the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, he tested a variety of cloth materials to see which ones not only allowed for breathability, but also filtered small particles — such as viruses. The research from Wake Forest has not been submitted for publication and has not been peer-reviewed.
To test various masks and fabrics, the team pumped air through both types of face coverings.
"Our instruments could read down to 0.3 microns, which is about the size of a big virus," Segal said.
Regular surgical masks filtered out 62 percent to 65 percent of particles. For comparison, N95 masks filter 95 percent of those particles.
But the fabrics led to a variety of results. One piece of cloth filtered just 1 percent of particles, rendering it virtually useless, while others were found to perform even better than the surgical masks.
"We had some that performed at 79 percent," Segal told NBC New
The best masks were constructed of two layers of heavyweight "quilters cotton" with a thread count of at least 180, and had thicker and tighter weave.

Re: mask up!
I’ve read this before and I can’t help but think there is some fundamental misunderstanding on how virus’ are propagated.
They don’t fly thru the air by themselves.
“A “naked” virus can’t go anywhere unless it’s hitching a ride with a droplet of mucus or saliva,”
https://www.nytimes.com/article/coronav ... s.amp.html
The mask needs to protect you from droplets which can be screened with scarves, krama, bandannas & most ordinary cloth. Just need to remember when you take them off they can contaminate your hands, so wash thoroughly with soap & water right away.
