Any common face mask provides significant protection against the virus that causes COVID-19, but N95 masks are most effective at slashing the amount emitted by infected people, according to a University of Maryland-led study released Wednesday.

So-called “duckbill” N95 masks scored highest in the study, which measured the exhaled breath of participants who were tested both masked and unmasked to measure comparative outputs of SARS-CoV-2. The inexpensive masks, which have two head straps and a horizontal seam, captured 98% of exhaled virus, according to the study published in eBioMedicine.

The researchers also found that—in what might come as a surprise to many—cloth masks outperformed the specific brand of KN95 mask that was tested. Surgical masks brought up the rear in performance out of the four types, but even they blocked 70% of the virus, the tests showed. (To reflect the general public's use of masks, study volunteers were not fit-tested for their masks or trained how to properly wear them.)

“The research shows that any mask is much better than no mask, and an N95 is significantly better than the other options. That’s the No. 1 message,” says the study’s senior author, Donald Milton, a professor of environmental health and a global expert on how viruses spread through the air.

SHIT.

Please reblog!

[stedefucker]

from one chronically anxious person to another: the world is not going to go up in flames. What happens will be more slow, more bureaucratic, more boring. There is no catastrophe to end all catastrophes, no rapture, no sudden end. You can't give into the call of the void, because there is no void. So you just have to do the work to make tomorrow a better place, anyway. Because that's how it gets better.

Oh, that Jules roleplayer in the Harry Potter AU was me! (Actually... the Jules roleplayer in both situations may have been me... not a lot of us.) My accounts were dofaye and trageteas on livejournal, and trageteas on dreamwidth - from there you should be able to poke around in the communities I was in and find my old rps. I went VERY hard on the roleplaying for a while since I tend to hyperfixate on a specific character/ship for a few years and with kazeki being a tiny fandom, multifandom rp was the best way to get other people to care about my character. So there's quite a bit out there.

(I was also seraphknights and fuckyeahtakemiya on tumblr... yeah.)

I need find...

Dear KazeKi fans! I need your help ...

1) Last winter, I was lucky to accidentally find several role-playing in the public domain in LiveJournal. However, I just can't find them again, no matter how hard I try. These were role-playing by Rosemarine x Jules, of course. As far as I remember, one of them was a funny story with modern!AU (that is, the characters live in the 21st century), where Rosemarine, although rich, for some reason worked at the reception in a clinic that belonged to Auguste, and he once forced Rossy put on the nurse's outfit. After work, Jules came to Rosemarine, and together they went off bookshop in Rossy's expensive car... :D I know it sounds weird and a little crazy, but I swear I read it. The second role was the crossover of the HarryPotter-universe (and why is this crossover so popular?), where Jules and Rosemarine were Hogwarts students. There was a scene where they were sitting in a room together (like it was before the Yule Ball) and were trying to somehow start a relationship with each other about mutual sympathy. It was a nice scene, and there was some tea.

2) Once or twice I met mention in some posts about a certain old community on Yahoo!, where there was a lot of information about KazeKi.

PLEASE HELP ME FIND TWO THESE THINGS!

and

PLEASE, HELP ME FIND MORE FANFICTION, FAN-ART, ROLEPLAY AND PEOPLE'S OPPINION IN KAZEKI FANDOM!

PLEASE.

I know only ficbook.net, fanfiction.net, ao3, four old communities in VK, pinterest, pixiv, tumblr blogs of seraphknights, battourcocteau, noracocteau, dokidokimaster, fuckyeahtakemiya, kazekinouta-a, maniescarellent, kimkymury... and some more good guys from tumblr.

Where I can find more KazeKi?

Of course, the main goal of my findings is Rosemarine x Jules (RJ) content.
