Women with these vasomotor symptoms or VMS are 70% more likely to suffer heart attacks or strokes over time.  Epidemiologists at Australia’s University of Queenland just published this warning after their meta-analysis of 23,365 women.

The risk of adverse cardiovascular consequences rises with severity of hot flushes and night sweats but not with how often they occur.  Women with severe vasomotor symptoms are more than twice as likely to have a cardiovascular issue compared with those without such symptoms.  Even pre-menopausal flushes and sweats raise the risk 40%.

If you are a woman experiencing these vasomotor phenomena, speak with your doctors to establish comprehensive cardiovascular monitoring.

The most protective face masks available, excepting the N95s reserved for medical first responders, are multi-layered high-thread-count cotton and cup masks.  Mechanical engineers at Florida Atlantic University present these conclusions and provide visual proof.

These time lapse photos of each mask type show that a simple bandana offers little aerosol flow protection.  Even multilayered cotton and cup masks allow aerosol leakage around loosely fitting edges.  Tighten those babies up gang.

The most telling photo shows an un-masked cough traveling up to 12 ft, twice the so-called safe physical distance.

Heed this evidence.  When you’re out, wear the best mask you can and stay far away from all but your family.
