Covidisor

@toba @PsionicPsittacc @Mrhockey1231 @amandalhu @crwequine @CovidCanada1 @trendless @apmalong @Eric_Carroll @maleve @healthyheating We recommend having the fan on when putting on the Covidisor and you'll feel the air coming up around your neck. As you pull the neck shroud's drawstring, there's a distinct point you'll feel the air switch to coming from the filters instead, and the fan gets louder.

@toba @PsionicPsittacc @Mrhockey1231 @amandalhu @crwequine @CovidCanada1 @trendless @apmalong @Eric_Carroll @maleve @healthyheating We don't have access to quantitative testing equipment. We've done tests like pouring water into the sphere while wearing it to see how snug the neck seal is and smell tests with incense in the room while air source tubed in from outside, etc.

Asking the airbuds….. what mask do you wear most often? Which one do you wear to the grocery store? I’m always in my GVS now but wondering if I’m extreme. @amandalhu @trendless @Mrhockey1231 @apmalong @Eric_Carroll @maleve @healthyheating

@toba @PsionicPsittacc @Mrhockey1231 @amandalhu @crwequine @CovidCanada1 @trendless @apmalong @Eric_Carroll @maleve @healthyheating High filtration? It's airtight, the material used for kites and rafts. Air as any fluid takes the path of least resistance. Once you overcome the resistance of the N95 filters, air will flow through them and not thru a material with orders of magnitude more resistance.

@covidisor @PsionicPsittacc @Mrhockey1231 @amandalhu @crwequine @CovidCanada1 @trendless @apmalong @Eric_Carroll @maleve @healthyheating You said in another tweet that the neck shroud is ripstop nylon. That doesn't sound like a high-filtration medium. Is it? If so, how was this tested?

@toba @PsionicPsittacc @Mrhockey1231 @amandalhu @crwequine @CovidCanada1 @trendless @apmalong @Eric_Carroll @maleve @healthyheating One last thing. There is a N95 filter on the exhaust end of the Covidisor.

@toba @PsionicPsittacc @Mrhockey1231 @amandalhu @crwequine @CovidCanada1 @trendless @apmalong @Eric_Carroll @maleve @healthyheating We could have made it both + pressure & tight fitting, but there is no incentive for the wearer to keep the seal tight (they are getting filtered air regardless). With negative pressure *you* want to wear it properly, and you can tell from the fan sound & air flow direction.

@PsionicPsittacc @Mrhockey1231 @amandalhu @crwequine @CovidCanada1 @trendless @apmalong @Eric_Carroll @maleve @healthyheating @toba The only part of the bayonet mount outside the sphere is a small flange and three prongs of the mount. The three prongs go in and are covered by the 3M filter holder and the flange is covered by the 3M washer that makes for a tight connection. The neck shroud is ripstop nylon.

@covidisor @Mrhockey1231 @amandalhu @crwequine @CovidCanada1 @trendless @apmalong @Eric_Carroll @maleve @healthyheating @toba Thanks! What about the 3M bayonet filter connectors and/or any other parts under negative pressure?

@PsionicPsittacc @Mrhockey1231 @amandalhu @crwequine @CovidCanada1 @trendless @apmalong @Eric_Carroll @maleve @healthyheating @toba The Covidisor is a negative pressure PAPR. The air is exiting not entering the sphere as it goes through the 3D printed fan unit in the back.

@Mrhockey1231 @amandalhu @crwequine @CovidCanada1 @trendless @apmalong @Eric_Carroll @maleve @healthyheating @toba @covidisor If there are monofilament 3D-printed components, please be aware potential issue: @covidisor youtube.com/watch?v=1m8VTd…

@tetetonwemd Will mail you a replacement part. Did it arrive broken or when you attached/removed the filter?

@covidisor just unboxed this--is this a part that can be removed/replaced?

@drewmagary @SFGate You should have tried the @covidisor. No peripheral vision obstruction, balanced and center weighted so comfortable to wear for hours, much quieter fan due to placement and vibration isolation.

@gettleman What floor do you live on? Brisk cross air circulation is key if you have windows on opposite ends. Would even mask at home during this wave. Reducing level of exposure makes *all* the difference in outcome.

How many people are really dying right now in India? It's a very sad, frightening situation and our India team surveyed areas across the country, finding huge discrepancies between what has been reported and what's happening on the ground. Please read. nytimes.com/2021/04/24/wor…

@drsimonegold what's your position on COVID variolation?

@gailcollins For when eating indoors with Bret.

There are political sex scandals you’re sad about because you feel sorta sorry for the person who got caught. And some you don’t like because you don’t like seeing his or her causes hurt. Matt Gaetz falls in neither of those categories. nyti.ms/3fHuyVH

@Bee2020De Thanks for the reply. Please share this survey question on. Very interested in hearing people’s preference

@covidisor A traditionally made vaccine would be much better than this gene therapy fake vaccine. And NO, never, to the passport.

If it was available and safe would you choose COVID variolation over vaccination? Variolation being immunization via controlled exposure to a very low dose of the virus to cause an infection without symptoms. #covid19 #variolation #vaccination #antivax #antivaxxer #CovidPassport
