#1 Dragon Lady here is one of the biggest lockdown / mandate cheerleaders out there. As noted elsewhere, the left is sure changing its tune on these measures now that their own are getting infected with the Omicron variant; it's a chink in their intellectual armor, if you'll pardon the expression.

#2 Final daughter, who is legitimately concerned about infection leading up to major surgery, has been thoroughly terrified by the reports she’s been reading. As a result, she just ordered N-95 masks, which she will no doubt wear unsealed and entirely too loosely to be effective — both soothing and stoking her anxiety for the few times she leaves the house between now and then.

#4 No criticism to anyone here, and prayers are said at House Murcek for TW's daughter's medical procedure, but has anyone besides me noticed you hear nothing about "emotional support animals" since masks came along? I'm sure they are still out there, with their emotional support clients, but, like the flue, they just sorta stopped being news.

#6 Have to use the metal crimp on the nose to make it fit correctly. Also can't have too small or too large a face. Must be a seal on the outside. And preferably a one-way exit vent. 3M™ Particulate Respirator 8511, N95.
