The Guy Who Helped Invent the N95 Mask Thinks He’s Found a Way to Clean and Reuse Them

“Right after the outbreak, a lot of virologists did a lot of experiments, and they found 65 degrees Celsius [149 degrees Fahrenheit] for 30 minutes, that will kill COVID-19,” Tsai told VICE News.

The trick is finding the perfect temperature that kills the virus while not destroying the mask. Temperatures over 200 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius) would kill any virus — but would just about destroy an N95 mask. But Tsai said European certification requires a mask to be able to withstand 158 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degree Celsius) for up to 24 hours.

The masks are also electrostatically charged. That allows them to suck in and trap airborne particles that might contain viruses, rather than allowing those particles to spread or even enter a person’s body. Tsai, who invented that process, said the electrostatic charge can be undone if the mask is exposed to super high temperatures, which would make the mask less effective. But at just the right temperature, heating the masks could be a life-saver.

.....

“If you get up to about 100 to 120 degrees Celsius (212 to 248 degrees Fahrenheit), you start to see rapid degradation of the masks,” he said. “We've been focusing on trying not to damage the mask, and we've been using this number of 65 to 80 Celsius (149 to 176 Fahrenheit) for 30 minutes as kind of our gospel trying to achieve that, while not going over.”

But Mechler cautioned that the masks can only be reused three to five times if they’re sterilized in this way.

yep, life is cheap :) US had 3 months to prepare for epidemic, according to most mainstream news. What were they, the Feds doing? Printing money! Maybe you can attach rubber band to $20 bill to make a face mask :)

The US bought out a planeload of Chinese-made face masks right on the tarmac just as the haul of the much needed protective gear was about to set off for France, the head of a French region told RT. Facing shortages of protective equipment amid the coronavirus outbreak, France has turned to China to procure the much-needed face masks.

After French legislature adopted a law on the emergent medical situation, local authorities were able to place an order on the equipment in China, paying for it upfront. All in all, his and other regions ordered some 60 million masks, the head of the south-eastern Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region Renaud Muselier told RT France on Wednesday.

“The masks have been already produced and are currently in China. There are troubles with their delivery, though,” Muselier said, adding that the haul was set to arrive in France on Thursday evening. The country, however, ran into unexpected logistics troubles and not-that-friendly competition from the US, Muselier revealed.

Today in the morning in China, the Americans bought out the French order for cash right on the tarmac. The France-bound plane departed to the US afterwards. The local authorities will now have to stick to major logistics companies, Muselier said, to ensure that the haul is not outbid or bought out in the loading area again. He added that the delivery is now expected later this week.

The Americans are trying to procure any masks already available, disrupting deliveries to other nations, another report by French daily Liberation indicated. “They pay double and cash, even before seeing the goods,” an anonymous source told the newspaper.

Lockdown in Toronto, Ontario extended to 3 months.

This guys are up to something.

Interacting fact is that elites tried similar thing not so long ago in Newfoundland (before all this shit) during heavy snow (but quite usual for the place). They suddenly introduced social isolation, asked people to lock, and prevented people to help each other even threatened with fines.

just a few months ago Capitalism was under attack by Yellow Vests in France, Anti-oil pipeline protest in Canada, Bernie Sanders socialists in US ( although bernie is not much more socialist than Obama, Bernie voted yes to all wars ), and Greta Thunberg supporters were shutting down cities, now it's all gone!

With the US/ China Trade War lost, maybe they are getting ready for full time rationing as Chinese goods become less available in North America. You may need a Covid-19 social credit score, ie health check, geo-location travel check before you can buy a TV, or even food and toilet paper :)

Social Distancing = Hannah Arendt "Atomization" ?

Totalitarianism's radical atomization of the whole of society differs from the political isolation, the political "desert," as Arendt termed it, of tyranny. It eliminates not only free action, which is political by definition, but also the element of action, that is, of initiation, of beginning anything at all, from every human activity. Individual spontaneity--in thinking, in any aspiration, or in any creative undertaking--that sustains and renews the human world is obliterated in totalitarianism. Totalitarianism destroys everything that politics, even the circumscribed political realm of a tyranny, makes possible.

@jleo

Of course they don't care about health, at all.

But such sync among all countries with absolutely different situation can also mean that much bigger events are coming.

Isolation is just tool.

Private clinics independent tests stopped at least in few regions. Authorities prevented clinics to transport testing materials. As most of cities turn into blocked warzone (no entry and no out possible if you are private citizen on car), all against local laws.

Private clinics despite good volume failed to find even single coronavirus case for now.

US in free fall

After last week's unprecedented 3.3 million surge in initial jobless claims, this week's is even more unprecedented-er, adding a stunning 6.648 million (just 100k away from our estimate of 6.5million) for a two-week sum of 10 million new Americans claiming unemployment benefits...

This is how capitalism is saving lives.

@jleo...comparing deathrates of different causes against corona is the most absurd kind of propaganda. Not one category except the flu and hiv, are an infectious disease contagious between humans, and the only one, influenza, h1n1 is the most fatal influenza type. And nearly half of the list....5...are livestyle choices. and really the same could be said of hiv. So....that makes more than 1/2 a choice one makes...not a disease one acquires by infection. And if influenza is as dangerous as corona, why aren't the hospitals in Italy and Spain filled with influenza patients dying too ? The argument is just stupid.

well the above video by prof bhakdi is well addressed just above it by dr campbell !

How goverment managed to control and lower number of test cases?

Simple. They declared that coronavirus belong to most dangerous pathogens - like botulism and cholera. So only pair of labs can make tests, despite equipment is available in big number of them. Actually before this PCR and similar tests had ben exception (as it is not dangerous), but not this time.
This time exist special note that it is not allowed.

Most interesting that in real SARS 2013 case it had been all reverse, as goverment instead asked for more test developers and mroe test labs.
