    I used to use only the KN95 but, I wouldn’t know the proper interval. I guess it depends on where I am exposed. Nowadays, with the mask I have, I change it weekly since I work outdoors mostly anyway.

    I always wore surgical mask whole day, 1 morning to lunch and 1 lunch to closing…. So dalawa ginagamit ko eveyday sa office, prob ko is nag fofog nga… i wanted to invest sa mask katulad sayo pero need ko details sana kung kaano kadalas yung palitan… pero parang mahal yata?

    Sir Kags, takot ako sa dugo and sa pain [emoji28].. Ayaw ko maging "in demand" ang dugo ko [emoji33].. Susubukan ko nga mag-donate para sa convalescent plasma pero nung nalaman ko na matagal pala yung process, atras ako..
    Sa ECLIA test ko nga, pinarelax muna ako ng nurse after nun nahilo ako..
    May instance din sa APE ko, pina-amoy na ako ng ammonia kasi namumutla na ako at nakakakita ng stars.. Inagapan na nila bago pa ako mahimatay.. [emoji28] Kasi naman, naka-tatlong tusok na yung nurse hindi pa din makita ang ugat [emoji24].. Both arms ko nun meron na tusok, 2 sa kaliwa, isa sa kanan.. 4th attempt, "call a friend" na si nurse, lalaking nurse na ang kumuha.. saklap! Lagi nakatago ugat ko kaya nakaka-trauma tuwing kuhanan ako ng blood sample..

    The mask has a replaceable filter. P200 for the shell plus filter & P170 for a pack of 5 replacement filters. No way to know but try bro but changing 2x a day is quite expensive.

    The inventor of N95 said before that it can be recharged by steaming in a rice cooker, I just forgot how long.

    Ang bilis ng vaccine roll out dyan.. Wala pa sa company namin, pero nag-open na uli ng registration last week.. Naghihintay na lang kami nung schedule kung maisasama kami sa list.. Wala pa formal communication, pero mas gusto na ng company na wfh set up.. Binawasan yung seat allocation ng Project..

    In america iba ang basa sa pcr test ng vaccinated vs unvaxx.

    Sa china eh hindi mandatory vacinne and they test yung real covid virus.

    ILL post later how china is toying around this pandemic nagmumukhang tanga western countries.

    You can use the n/kn95 filters 5-7x.
    Basta remember to disinfect the plastic front panel of the mask na ray showed every after use.
    Maganda yung filter na yan.
    Problem lang is masakit sa katagalan ang straps nya kasi ripcord material

    CDC lowers PCR CT count and diagnostic guidelines ONLY for the vaccinated

    "...As reported by Daniel Horowitz at Blaze Media, the new CDC guidance for “COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough case investigation” – meaning people who tested positive after getting vaccinated – says PCR tests should be set at 28 CT or lower. The stated reason for the 28 CT maximum is to avoid false positives on people who have been vaccinated, which would discourage acceptance of the vaccines. This is another example of ‘following the science’ only when it suits a political purpose; to wit, CDC is not recommending the lower threshold for anyone else being tested. False positives must be avoided to encourage vaccinations, but false positives to prevent children from attending school or maintain other government restrictions seem OK with CDC. Last summer, the New York Times reported that CTs above 34 almost never detect live virus but most often, dead nucleotides that are not contagious. The Sentinel found that many private labs in Kansas used thresholds of 38 and 40, and another one in Lenexa potentially at 45. The state lab at the Kansas Department of Health initially used a 42 CT on its most commonly performed test; on January 7, they reduced it to 35."
    "...Horowitz quotes former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson as saying a standard of 28 CT applied to the general testing regime would preclude as many as 90% of cases from being recorded."

    Ito pa ibang masks na N/kn95 na proven >95% filtration.
    3M aura, BYD, Air queen, etc.
    Most important is check the fit - dapat sealed all around and nagcacave in during inhalation.

    alam ko yan

    lagi pinopost yan ng mga naniniwala na scam itong pandemic (scamdemic)

    kasi may narrative na vaccinated people cannot test positive for the virus

    so binaba nila ang cycle threshold para di mag positive

    sa pcr kasi the more times you amplify the more likely you'll find viral fragments

    pero di mag work yan sa delta variant dahil sa ct 20 palang nagpopositive na

    brand new data

    they looked at binding and neutralizing antibodies after vaccination (moderna) to see if monitoring antibodies is useful for determining how much protection you have

    naalala niyo the authorities discouraged us from getting antibody test after vaccination it doesn't really tell us anything daw

    well it does

    Immune Correlates Analysis of the mRNA-1273 COVID-19 Vaccine Efficacy Trial | medRxiv

    Abstract

    Background: In the Coronavirus Efficacy (COVE) trial, estimated mRNA-1273 vaccine efficacy against coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) was 94%. SARS-CoV-2 antibody measurements were assessed as correlates of COVID-19 risk and as correlates of protection. Methods: Through case-cohort sampling, participants were selected for measurement of four serum antibody markers at Day 1 (first dose), Day 29 (second dose), and Day 57: IgG binding antibodies (bAbs) to Spike, bAbs to Spike receptor-binding domain (RBD), and 50% and 80% inhibitory dilution pseudovirus neutralizing antibody titers calibrated to the WHO International Standard (cID50 and cID80). Participants with no evidence of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection were included. Cox regression assessed in vaccine recipients the association of each Day 29 or 57 serologic marker with COVID-19 through 126 or 100 days of follow-up, respectively, adjusting for risk factors. Results: Day 57 Spike IgG, RBD IgG, cID50, and cID80 neutralization levels were each inversely correlated with risk of COVID-19: hazard ratios 0.66 (95% CI 0.50, 0.88; p=0.005); 0.57 (0.40, 0.82; p=0.002); 0.41 (0.26, 0.65; p<0.001); 0.35 (0.20, 0.60; p<0.001) per 10-fold increase in marker level, respectively, multiplicity adjusted P-values 0.003-0.010. Results were similar for Day 29 markers (multiplicity adjusted P-values <0.001-0.003). For vaccine recipients with Day 57 reciprocal cID50 neutralization titers that were undetectable (<2.42), 100, or 1000, respectively, cumulative incidence of COVID-19 through 100 days post Day 57 was 0.030 (0.010, 0.093), 0.0056 (0.0039, 0.0080), and 0.0023 (0.0013, 0.0036). For vaccine recipients at these titer levels, respectively, vaccine efficacy was 50.8% (-51.2, 83.0%), 90.7% (86.7, 93.6%), and 96.1% (94.0, 97.8%). Causal mediation analysis estimated that the proportion of vaccine efficacy mediated through Day 29 cID50 titer was 68.5% (58.5, 78.4%). Conclusions: Binding and neutralizing antibodies correlated with COVID-19 risk and vaccine efficacy and likely have utility in predicting mRNA-1273 vaccine efficacy against COVID-19. Trial registration number: COVE ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04470427

    correlation -- the relationship between antibody levels and protection against covid

    that's the purpose of the study -- to see if looking at antibody levels can be a predictor of covid risk

    of course the study says looking at antibody levels tells you a vaccine's efficacy

    they found that vaccinated individuals with high antibody levels (binding and neutralizing) had lower covid risk than vaccinated individuals with lower antibody levels

    Yes not everyone who gets vaccinated will end up with the same level of antibodies -- meron madami antibodies, meron di gaano madami



    ^^^

    looking at risk for covid from day 57 onwards

    gray line placebo (no vaccine) mataas risk for covid as days pass

    solid green line (vaccinated -- low antibody level)
    broken green line (vaccinated -- medium antibody level)
    dotted gray (vaccinated -- high antibody level)

    lower antibody levels = higher risk for breakthrough infection
    pero syempre compared to placebo malayo

    ^^^

    that explains why there are vaccinated people who still end up in hospital or even die

    coz it depends on how your body reacts to the vaccine -- how much antibodies your body makes

    Yup. 2x pero hinde pa fully vaccinated nun first then 2 weeks after ng second dose tumaas naman pero negative pa rin. I'll try ulit siguro next week.
