That thin metal strip running along the top of the mask? Someone should tell her that it should fit tightly against her cheeks and the bridge of her nose. It's probably the first time she's ever worn one.

I'm very surprised the horse de-wormer didn't protect her from COVID. That's what it was devised for, correct?

and they don't hold a shape well enough to fit snugly. It's one of the reasons it drives me nuts at the place I go for breast cancer care - and they require I use one.

Mine are all well-fitted - no gaps at the sides or around the nose. So they make me swap a fabric one that fits well and only had the gaps within the weave (a fraction of a mm through two or three layers of fabric) for one that gaps at the sides and around the nose of up to 1/2 inch.

I can fit it inside and still get a good seal from mine - so it just adds another layer, with all layers snugly fitted. On top I don't think it adds much since it still creates the gaps between my mask and the outer mask.

It's just annoying that the stuff they require me to wear can't be sealed. Those plastic nose "wires" are such a waste.

all the paper masks I've purchased have the thin aluminum strip on top, and then I apply a strip of double-sided tape along the top seam where the aluminum is.

That gives me the best seal possible, in my opinion. I suppose the tape would greatly enhance the effectiveness of the masks without the aluminum strip as well.

38. Virtually every procedure mask I've had has had a slightly bendable plastic piece
Fri Oct 1, 2021, 02:15 AM

Totally worthless, since the elastic earbands just pull the bends out.

The cloth masks I wear fit snugly without tape (I include a 22 gauge wire in the upper seam). If I feel I need more protection than 2 or 3 layers of cloth (depending on the mask), I add an internal filter so it doesn't impact the seal.

Since I wear a mask 7-days a week, tape is a no-go for me. My skin won't tolerate it (longer than about 24 hours creates lesions - so I have to use tegaderm, or something similar, whenever I've had surgery - or just leave it open to the air).

a great deal longer than myself. The double-sided tape works well for me, but I'm only wearing the mask when I'm in public places, and that's seldom longer than 30 minutes at a time.

My method certainly wouldn't be suited for your needs. I guess we've all improvised in ways that suit our own situation. Practical necessity, in dealing with the COVID virus, has been the mother of invention for most of us.

For those who refuse to take part in defeating this virus, the anti-maskers, they remain abjectly ignorant of any positive ways to protect themselves. Sooner or later they'll pay the COVID piper, and that's usually a dear price to pay.

Stay safe, whatever it takes.

We could make a commercial with misleading statements about the product.

Call it a Trumplite (important!)
Use the term "Inspired by the 45th president!" and show trump standing at the podium suggesting exactly that!
Call the company "Cyber Medical Specialists."
Claim that part of the price is for a legal team to speed up FDA emergency usage.
Claim that the FDA won't pay for the study and we'll use the money for research.
Claim that it's a self-made company that all money goes to staff, educating the public about their rights and lawyers.

Next...
Pay yourselves ALL the money without shipping any product.
Claim all products were destroyed by a Jewish space laser and four people were killed but the government covered it up with assistance from George Soros.
Declare bankruptcy and blame the FDA, Chinese and Liberals.
Ask for donations to hire investigators.
Claim to hire investigators and ask for more money.
Then pay yourselves ALL the money.
Create a new company and call it "Cyber Investigators For America."
Appoint yourselves as the investigators and ask for another donation.
Then pay yourselves ALL the money.
Promise to provide a report in four months.
Ask for another donation.
Then pay yourselves ALL the money.
Every other month claim the report finds more evidence.
Ask for another donation.
Then pay yourselves ALL the money.
Repeat a couple of times
Release a report that the Chinese freighter was sunk at the Mariana trench. The Chinese and Biden are involved and covering it up.
Claim you're putting together a salvage operation.
Ask for another donation.
Buy a yacht for the operation. (Don't forget the deep-sea fishing equipment.)
Ask for another donation to hire a salvage crew.
Hire yourselves. Call it "Cyber Divers"
Then pay yourselves ALL the money.
Go fishing.
Ask for another donation. Use "diving equipment" as an excuse. Buy scuba gear and jet skis.
Go scuba diving and jet skiing.
Then pay yourselves ALL the money.
Claim you're being threatened by communists and ask for another donation.
Hire yourselves as security personnel.
Then pay yourselves ALL the money.

We could drag this out for a couple of years. And MAGAs would foot the bill! *

You're absolutely right. They'll buy anything, product or propaganda.

Send her some forsythia. That's the huckster's miracle "cure" in the movie Contagion. Remarkable how accurate that film was, years before covid, back when the thought of a massive worlwide pandemic was just a scary movie.

Now she is suffering and discovering that Covid is real and the hospitals are overwhelmed...there isn't any room for her.
I hope she recovers...I don't wish death on these people.
However, I do hope this wakes her up to the reality of communicable diseases. They don't care about politics, or a belief in divine protection, or any other personally held belief that prevents people from protecting themselves from a disease that has killed over 700,000 in the United States. The Covid virus will take you if you let it.

other posts. But her problems are just beginning. Considering how serious her infection was, her energy level will never be back to what it was before covid. She will tire after simple exertion that nevercwore her out before.

She might have moments of breathlessness from lung damage. Or heart arrhythmias. Blood clots.

She will probably claim that the Ivermectin is what gave her the strength to survive. But, of course, if Ivermectin was so great, why did she need to go to the hospital at all?
