    Absofuckinglutely. As I understand it, antibody test is in development that will give us much better data on who has been exposed to the virus, not just acutely ill from it. % of severe/fatal cases is currently skewed high, and likely very high

    This seems like a reasonable measure to take on a virus.

    Very likely. Probably not like a factor of 10+, but wouldn’t surprise me if total US mortality rate ends up being under 1%.

    I went conservative on 1/17. S&P 500 was 3316. It’s now 2954 for a solid 11% decrease.

    but we are 100% headed to a recession so it’s obviously better to buy low

    Not that hard to comprehend. You cut taxes for corporations and the wealthy and in you future you will get a trickle down of pandemic related research and health care.

    I don’t doubt that we’re headed for a recession. I’ve been seeing all kinds of red flags at work (have eyes into a ton of industries, including real-time impact of this event on a variety of supply chains). What’s your plan for timing the bottom, though? That’s what I was getting at. I’ll be buying next week, but not selling anything. Most of my colleagues are doing the same.

    Any mask with an N95 rating (by NIOSH, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) is sufficient. Surgical N95 masks are cleared for the operating room, but the surgical designation is defined and approved by the FDA, not NIOSH. All certified N95 or higher-rated particulate respirators can filter airborne biological particles such as viruses and bacteria.

    PAPR's have been mentioned but can be expensive and hard to locate. As a step between paper masks and PAPRs, half and full face respirators can also be used. This is in extreme cases, but one of those will be as good or better than a paper one-time-use mask. The down side is if you've never been professionally fitted for one there's a solid chance you may not get the correct size. There's also a really good chance you aren't donning it correctly. When I get fitted every year, first timers fail the test most of the time. The team who does the fitting will let them fail, because that failing score is what makes them pay attention when they were being re-educated before retesting.

    Also of note for the re-use of masks: make sure to disinfect all surfaces after use. If the exterior is exposed to bacteria and filters if from your lungs, but you remove it with your hands and contact that infected surface...you don't want to go picking your nose or digging in your teeth until you've washed your hands.

    If I thought I was going to be exposed, I would go with a P100 out of an abundance of caution.

    All non full face masks will do is keep you from putting your hands in your mouth and up your nose. Eyes are another entry point people don’t think about. It’s an airborne and contact precaution. It’s why all the pics you see of docs with infected have full face masks.

    This is false on several levels, but full face and PAPR are always going to be superior for different reasons.

    i haven’t seen anyone suggest we are headed towards a recession. there are no underlying red flags that i am aware of. seems like a lot of experts are saying to wait the crash/correction out and to not expect a recession on the other side

    Right away. Also, I recommend painting some small, red spots on the outside of your mask. That way, you will always get a seat and no one will bother you.

    People have been predicting a recession for a couple years now for 2020. The inverted yield curve flipping late last year, scientists saying that we’re 70% there on the model they use to predict recessions...I think the virus is going to kick start the whole thing.

    you have any resources on this? i’ve watched more cnbc this week than i have in the last 6 mo and not a single person has said they believe a recession is coming. my sister is a financial advisor and none of their models (morgan stanley) are predicting that either

    Important to note of you use a half or full face respirator you need to shave and keep shaving. They're much better than an N95 imo, but I'm not sure how they stack up to bacteria and viruses

    Half face are better than disposable but not by a huge difference so long as both are properly fitted. Also, it depends on the cartridge. For instance, a P100 will block 99.8% but the N95 only protects against 95%. A Mersorb cartridge won’t help much at all.

    I guess when the financial industry is most of your economy and your country no longer actually makes anything, it's entirely possible to cause a recession simply by shitting your pants

    US economy had been performing very well despite being over due for a downturn and several indicators it has been heading that direction for awhile. If the covid 19 situation continues to escalate and economic impact goes beyond stock market reaction, as in significant global trade/supply interruption and especially prolonged reduced US consumer spending and travel then ya this will knock us into a recession.

    Taking victory laps in February for something that was predicted to happen by the end of December. Bold strategy.
