Are you worried about #Covid risk travelling abroad and, especially, on planes? Here's a short #facemask š§µ... yes, it has been a while!
I recently travelled long-haul to Nepal and Indonesia (same trip) and was very concerned about getting Covid. I didn't get #COVID19! 1/
I recently travelled long-haul to Nepal and Indonesia (same trip) and was very concerned about getting Covid. I didn't get #COVID19! 1/
2/ I was worried because I haven't had Covid yet, so I didn't know how ill I would be. But, I was also worried because my work insurance didn't cover extra costs associated with quarantine, which was mandatory in Indonesia ... and I wanted to get home for my holiday!
3/ My main mitigation measure was masks but I also asked the project team in Nepal & Indonesia if we could eat outdoors/ in private rooms in restaurants and we took enough LFTs for the team to test every day. In both Nepal & Indonesia it was still mandated to wear masks indoors.
Spent more time in the garden today. Insect populations are booming! A bit of sunshine really helps to lift the spirits.

Had a run of 3 good days, but just tried doing *some* of the things my lungs had allowed me to do over the weekend & over-did it by fixing the ball-cock in the toilet cistern! Lowered my guard; lungs are tight again (first time in 10 days) & I'm lightheaded. #PulmonaryEmbolism

With UK regs changing to mandatory #masks, here's a short š§µto answer the question: can you wear a disposable #facemask more than once? The answer is YES. Many manufacturers state that masks should be disposed of after 8 hours but this is not true. Read on to find out why ... 1/
2/ Certified #masks (e.g. N95/N99, FFP2/FFP3) are manufactured for workers exposed to harmful airborne particles in industry or healthcare settings. The masks are designed to be worn for one shift (usually 8 hours) and then disposed of. Photo: @3MUK
3/ Unless a mask has become clogged full of particles in a very high exposure scenario (e.g. mining, construction) or the worker is in a contaminated front-line healthcare setting, it is still perfectly useable after 8 hours, unless it is broken. Photo: John Hamlett

I find this quite interesting; the estimates for the association between wearing a #mask and some coronavirus infection in non-hc setting (0.56, 95% CI: 0.40-0.79) is roughly the same magnitude as the association for #bicyclehelmet and head injury (0.49, 95% CI: 0.42-0.57) 1/9
Are they both confounded? You bet. But they're also both mechanistically plausible. And there's some major issues with conducting RCTs for both. Ethical reasons for helmets, and for masks, statistical power issues (adherence, sample size, disease prevalence) seem pretty bad 2/9
With helmets, the people wearing them probably have some different characteristics than non-users, that causes confounding. Probably they're more cautious and take less risks in traffic. It's also possible that for some individuals, helmet causes risk compensation... 3/9

The most obscene attempt to shift blame has been @BorisJohnson on #CareHomeScandal. He claimed:

- care homes didn't "follow procedures"
- scientists didnāt know about asymptomatic spread

Love them or loathe them, face coverings have been used to protect us from all sorts of harmful material in the air for a very long time. [Thread] #facecoverings #facemask
Face coverings as a way of protecting respiratory health go back at least 2,000 years. The Roman philosopher Pliny the Elder used animal-bladder skins as masks to filter dust from toxic minerals used at the time for pigmentation in decorations. #facecoverings
In his travelogue, Italian explorer Marco Polo (1254ā1324) described the servants attending to the Chinese emperor and his entourage wearing silk scarves to cover their mouths and noses to prevent their breath from contaminating the food they prepared. #facecoverings
Late every night -- as I finish sorting my photos at #Flickr -- a darkness comes over me. Often it comes without subject. This mood is impossible to visualize in a photograph because outsiders expect a cause for every #depression. There is none.

"Cautious" is the title I gave to the last photo. It's the proper state of mind for the times. We need to be cautious. I have been inside since the 7th of July due to #COVID19, avoiding my fellow human beings who walk around without masks, merrily spreading infection.
There's a group on #Flickr whose title always gives me a laugh: "Narcissism in Color". When I make selfies, I have to admit that I am very much like Narcissus of mythology: the person who looks at them the most is me. This audience leans over the edge of the pool and dreams.

There's a strong association between #narcissism and dreams in #mythology. Many of us dream of that face in the pool, giving it fame that we think we deserve. The Instagrams of young people attract many likes. But this is no country for old men.
I take my #selfies for the purpose of building my #selfesteem. I know I am not more beautiful than other people. I know I am not more popular. The number of friends who view the my #photography is very small. But they are survival of sorts.

Yes, I am a wreck sometimes. I don't believe in taking the pains to look like a person who I am not. If my hair is a mess, then it is a mess. That is how I am. Many people cannot afford to be like I am. They cannot afford to let their #depression show.
It's nice to see the locals are following the advice on wearing a mask.

It tells us if we do not take measures (e.g. set out by WHO) people will die.
