For those thinking of wearing a surgical mask, upgrade! #Covidisairborne ffp2/3

David Osborn @safedavid3.bsky.social · Aug 22

It clarifies the legal status both of Surgical Masks and Respiratory Protective Equipment (eg FFP3, reusables, powered hoods). It blows away the myth contained in IPC Manuals and many other places by people who would have us believe FRSMs protect us against Covid-19, flu (etc)

WTAF: “officials advise wearing a well-fitting face covering with multiple layers *or* a surgical mask”

A baggy surgical mask is NOT suitable PPE to protect against a respiratory virus. Better than nothing, but this is not good advice. Have we learned nothing?

#CovidIsAirborne Use an FFP2/3 mask 😷

Here is a screenshot of the covid waste water.

Everyone should wear an N95 respirator mask at all times indoors, and in crowds outside.

Demand air filtration and ventilation at schools and work.

Get vaccinated.

Die heutigen #COVID19 Fallzahlen des RKI (2026-10-12), reale Inzidenz ~355 ‼️

RKI-Werte durch unzureichende Erfassung (am 22.05.2026 Arztmeldepflicht komplett gestrichen!) unbrauchbar 🤦‍♀️
Dunkelziffer im ø aktuell 340 (nach Abwasser und ITS). 🔥

Beachte ALT!
#COVIDisAirborne #DieMaskeBleibtAuf #MaskUp

Die heutigen #COVID19 Fallzahlen des RKI.
Gesamtzahl der amtlich registrierten Infektionen: 39.203.700; aktuelle 7-Tage-Inzidenz: 0,9.
Gesamtzahl der amtlich registrierten Todesfälle: 189.750; neu gemeldete Todesfälle seit gestern: +0.

Nach der vollständigen Streichung der Test-Meldepflicht aus dem Infektions"Schutz"gesetz am 22.05.2026 wird nahezu garnichts mehr gemeldet - die persönliche, individuelle Meldung eines eigenen positiven #COVID19 Testergebnisses ist jedoch direkt beim RKI weiterhin möglich unter 'GrippeWeb': https://www.rki.de/grippeweb !! (Bürger*innen ab 16 Jahren können dort, nach Anmeldung, eigene Testergebnisse - auch von Schnelltests - und Symptome erfassen.)

Die Anzahl der neuen Fälle der letzten 24 Stunden wird mit Null angegeben, da am Wochenende keine Daten am RKI eingelesen werden.
