I bought our N95s from here: https://honestppe.supply/

I found the link via Rolling Stone, of all places.

^ - I was about to order some of the  "real ones: (for the wife) but I see they are sold out!

I personally (large head) like the ones that have the straps that go all the way around your head as compared to the KN95's that drape around the ears ( interms of just regular comfort) - glad I bought I box as Ive got to go to phoneix next week.. 

Ive seen these at Lowes, home depot and target (denver area) not medical grade but I figure better than my webelos bandana / neckerchief

The wifes neice, who was the flower girl in our wedding 26 years ago, has been trying to get married since just before this all went down, so they finally just went o Savannah and didnt tell anyone and got married last weekend, I think they just couldnt see a scenario where any kind of wedding would leave them guilt free and might cause some unintended consequences.

I now have three sets of friends whose kids have "eloped" because of COVID.  Just the immediate family.

they just took her parents and his parents - there are some really old and out of shape folks on the wifes side of the family  so they just didnt want to be the ones that made someone travel and get it.

I dont think you really remember your wedding anyways (we dont) they plan to have a big party this summer - which would be cool.

The ones we bought have the around the head and I tried changing the straps to be behind the ears because we were headed to a wedding and there's no way to wear it like that without my ears ripping off. I was pretty happy to have them when the smoke was really bad here a few weeks ago. They are not something I would want to have to wear all the time because they are pretty restrictive, so I'm extra thankful for nurses that have to wear them all the time.

I "borrowed" an N-95 from a doctor colleague a couple weeks ago when I had to go on a hospital inspection. He had one of the type that I am fit tested for. It turned out to be really old, and the foam nosepiece guard disintegrated during the inspection, got in my eye, and gave me an eye infection!

Thank you my dear!  I was able to buy 5; I didn't want to buy more since I don't really need/want to buy a lot of the medical grade ones.  I'm going to use 2 of them when I'm traveling (to and from) and then probably another when I'm at the bigger family gathering (if I can't get a covid test completed in time beforehand in NYS).  As for ear straps...I def prefer the around the head ones vs. the ear strap ones for 'offical' real masks.  For fabric masks I prefer around the ear, since my hair is super fine and fabric tie straps around the back just slide down.

But, like, Thanksgiving is cancelled this year, right?

^- because its what heros do... generate the memes...

in a non meme post, found this little tidbit of data for my state (which seems to be in conflict with the CDC RIsk Factors) but looks like staying away from any type of in home healthcare / prison / ambulatory care facility is the way to go..  & maybe they are mixed in with other, but "gyms" isnt on the chart.. as always I find the data really interesting..

You can see the excel data and zero places with gym, fitness, continuously varied anything show up in either active or resolved. I like that they also include things like "Bunco Night" and "Pitkin Wedding" to indicate that it was a social gathering.

Ooh, this is a really cool breakdown, thanks for sharing @Road Guy. For those trying to find it on the site:
1. Go to link above.
2. Click the gray "Outbreaks" box. 
3. Click "Setting Type" for the breakdown shown above. 

Looks like stay out of prison, avoid inpatient health care, and no "Camp/Educ/Childcare", which I'd assume is mostly Schools driven? Would be interested to see further breakdown on that category. 

@csbI will also be avoiding all "Bunco Nights" in the near future. For reasons not related to COVID.

Crap sorry I didn’t realize the link doesn’t go through (tried to copy it again but it just does the main link)

but I do think it’s pretty neat- it does show the schools have caused the recent rise - unsure if it’s college or Regular school

I have no idea.  I'm travelling to see family, but I'm not sure if we're actually doing a big meal?  I have to work it out with my parents.  I might just stay at their house and haunt the halls while they go and see everyone, and maybe I'll do a one-on-one with my grandparents after the 'non-holiday that totes isn't occurring'.

Thanksgiving is my mother being stressed and making her disappointed face all day. Thanksgiving with the in-laws happens the weekend after and is the same except sub in my mother-in-law for my mother and the food sucks.

I think you can tell family you dont want to see that its been cancelled.

If there is snow I plan to do my typical ski and eat turkey with the dependents

Thanksgiving with my family is way too much food, all amazing in taste, too many desserts, and 'why did I eat all the appetizers?'.  Usually with much drinking, many Irish coffees, and hot tubbing.

Then the next day is many many leftovers and joy was heard throughout the land!
