MASKS/ BACTERIAL AND FUNGAL ISOLATION FROM FACE MASKS UNDER THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

(Study in PDF can be found in comment)

« The COVID-19 pandemic has led people to wear face masks daily in public.

Although the effectiveness of face masks against viral transmission has been extensively studied, there have been few reports on potential hygiene issues due to bacteria and fungi attached to the face masks.

We aimed to (1) quantify and identify the bacteria and fungi attaching to the masks, and (2) investigate whether the mask-attached microbes could be associated with the types and usage of the masks and individual lifestyles.

We surveyed 109 volunteers on their mask usage and lifestyles, and cultured bacteria and fungi from either the face-side or outer-side of their masks.

The bacterial colony numbers were greater on the face-side than the outer-side; the fungal colony numbers were fewer on the face-side than the outer-side.

A longer mask usage significantly increased the fungal colony numbers but not the bacterial colony numbers. Although most identified microbes were non-pathogenic in humans; Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Cladosporium, we found several pathogenic microbes; Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Aspergillus, and Microsporum.

We also found no associations of mask-attached microbes with the transportation methods or gargling. We propose that immunocompromised people should avoid repeated use of masks to prevent microbial infection. »

?? Panama's Inflation Upheaval Causing Food, Fuel Shortages | Zerohedge

? It started as a teacher's strike to protest the high cost of gas, but it's now the largest civil unrest in Panama since the end of dictator Manuel Noriega's reign in 1989. 

? With fiery roadblocks disrupting commerce and causing shortages of food, fuel and other supplies, the Panamanian government has entered a new round of talks meant to placate the masses and avoid further economic damage, which some assess at $500 million and counting. 

? With a currency pegged to the U.S. dollar and steady revenue from its vital canal, Panama has been a stable country for decades. Now, however, Panama is a canary in a coal mine, showing that much broader global unrest may soon be upon us.

Azov’s Last Stand / 2022
#donbass

'Azov deserves the death penalty. But not by a bullet, by hanging. Because they are not soldiers, not warriors,’ says Yashat standing near his destroyed house. He lived near the Azovstal plant with his family. They’ve been hiding in the basement from Azov attacks for over a month. It was not safe to leave shelter even at night. ‘We’d go outside at night. They [Azov] would see us from nine-storey buildings. They’d shoot our legs with bullets so we couldn’t reach the toilet… We lived like dogs.,’ recalls Irina, Yashat’s wife.

The Biden DOJ has been weaponized against their political opposition—labeling peaceful protestors as “insurrectionists”, doctors who challenged lockdowns as “disinformation agents”, & citizens defending the Constitution as “criminals”.

This is dishonest, & headed for disaster.
