PortaCount fit test results before and after shaving. My husband's stubble was a little over 1mm. For reference, an N95 should have a fit factor of at least 100 to pass. Medsky

Here is the pre-RFK vaccination schedule for your kids. Please download it before he is confirmed and changes/deletes it.
Give it to your pediatrician and say this is the schedule you want your kids on.

My Portacount results were a little shocking. I have a smaller face and this is with mask tape along the chin of the Aura. No more earloop respirators for me, and Drager or Zimi masks only! 🩺

A Virus and the Brain
I’ve been in a bit of a writer’s block lately, but an article popped up on BlueSky today that really spoke to me, getting me out of the slump.

I got to meet my agency "siblings" and they're all wonderful. Can't wait to read their books!
I had a fun virtual gathering with my clients tonight. It was the first time we were all in the same "room" together. They're not all on Bluesky (yet), but @rachelrcreates.bsky.social, @carriegolus.bsky.social, and @nancygoulet.bsky.social are here so far. #amagenting

Six years ago if you had asked these nurses: If there were an airborne virus that you'd catch yearly that could cause brain damage, heart damage, and even death for your patients, how long would you mask for? Every one of them would have said, "As long as it takes." Every one.

My 12-year-old daughter was on a Discord call with her friends when one of them made fun of her for her COVID precautions. She replied, "I don't want brain damage." The kid's dad chimed in, "You won't find any real proof that COVID causes brain damage." So he's getting a care package from me.

I see so many people posting that they're isolated because of their COVID precautions, but they never say what city they're in. I'm fortunate to have recently found an amazing still COVIDING community in KC, but if you're looking for one, post your city so they can find you! 🥰

"Ha! Who still wears a mask in 2024?"
My daughter: Apparently just those of us without brain damage.
Boys: 😂🤔🤔😑🤬

My kids and I quit Jiu Jitsu to keep safe from COVID. It's one of the things I miss the most from pre-pandemic life, but studies like this show it was a smart decision.
