Wearing a mask all day is certainly not without risks or adverse effects.

Sounds like hazard pay is entirely appropriate
 
I use the regular surgical mask. Everyone here should already be used to it like putting on clothes. Don't need N95. On 9/16, I'm getting the moderna vaccine too

A bunch of you Karen need this.

You’re wearing N95s or PAPRs at work? All they give me is a surgical mask, which isn’t really problematic enough that this article even addresses it. I still think hazard pay may be appropriate due to the stress caused by putting yourself at risk during a pandemic, though.
 
I wonder if there is any effect from breathing in the fibers from these cheap chinese surgical masks all day.
 
Now that’s it’s socially acceptable to wear masks in public, I’ll likely continue to wear them even in a post-COVID world, just to protect myself from influenza/cold/seasonal allergies

I hate to admit but these masks have helped me realize just how much we spit all over each other and/or our surrounding environment when we talk.

Say it don’t spray it

I am sure that the the heat wave this weekend did its job if not UV.

As part of the trial? How do you know you'll be getting vaccine and not placebo? They called me to enroll in the Moderna trial and said that they won't tell me if I got vaccine or placebo for 2 years...though i don't know if they are recruiting for different trials.

Do an antibody test after you get 2 doses. If you are still negative, you know what you get.

Hmm smart, though the antibodies could be a sign of past infection that may wane...too many unknowns I guess for me to be comfortable with it all, but I'm glad that there are people whom they are actually recruiting.

It's both. You are at lowest risk from catching the virus if both you and the infected person is wearing a mask, but one of you wearing a mask is better than neither of you no matter which one is wearing it.

Janssen is recruiting too in Sept $1500 for 1 dose. I'm sticking with moderna for 2 doses series.

Soooo, they dropped me a couple days before my appointment because they reached maximum capacity of 30,000 volunteers.

I went with Vaxart and got my first dose of oral covid19 vaccine on 10/14.

Wow, nice payout. How did you find that? I'm in a self collection testing study right now, no payment except being the family canary in the coal mine

Is this the Stanford study? I debated joining it, but cancelled after reading what they were allowed to do with my sample.

I just googled clinical trials and it popped up as a top ad by a company who does phase 1 trial and I signed up XD
