World Health Organization confirms first official human death from H5N2 (Bird Flu). A Mexican man with no prior animal contact has passed away, heavily implying human-human transmission
Erm… bird flu?
Yeah buddy, they tend to do that.
Anyway, who is excited for some new unprecedented times?
I’m not a doctor and this is not medical advise but yeah I wouldn’t eat potentially disease ridden meat from an animal carrying a virus that is transmissible to humans
Tight-fitting filtering facepiece (FFP3) face masks are essential respiratory protective equipment during aerosol-generating procedures in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) environment, and require a fit test to assess mask–face seal competency. Facial hair is considered to be an impediment for achieving a competent seal. We describe an under-mask beard cover called the Singh Thattha technique, which obtained a pass rate of 25/27 (92.6%) by qualitative and 5/5 (100%) by quantitative fit test in full-bearded individuals. Sturdier versions of FFP3 were more effective. For individuals for whom shaving is not possible, the Singh Thattha technique could offer an effective solution to safely don respirator masks.
