A Study of 40 COVID and flu outbreaks on planes found infection risk was highest near infected passengers.
• N95 masks prevented almost all new infections
• Surgical masks filtering 50% of particles cut infections by 85%, versus 35% from doubling clean air
• Ventilation alone may not be enough

「 I’m not sick, I just have allergies ! 」
Well that’s great because pollen is massively bigger than respiratory aerosols and N95s are ridiculously effective at blocking them for you

It takes strength to swim against the current; courage to speak truthfully against majority opinion; self-esteem to commit to one's own well-being.
Conformity is people-pleasing, aversion to rocking the boat, and self-abandonment.
Don't listen to cowards.

The price per piece of N95s is still incredibly low just in case anyone was curious and needs a couple dozen over the sniffles season
Remember the early days of Covid when people were speculating on N95 masks and hand sanitizer by buying up the scarce supply and selling it for inflated prices; but then we made so many masks and so much hand sanitizer that you could get them super cheap?
We could do that for housing if we wanted.

Husband and son see skin doctor tomorrow for moles, 45 minutes each up very close. They'll be wearing N95s and taking one for the doctor. I'll tell my husband (who usually is ok with doctors not wearing a mask) that our son is NOT to have the appointment if the doctor won't wear the N95.

We got our #Nuvaxovid shots in Saanich last week. As we were heading out the next appointment was arriving. They had N95s as well. We were the only ones masked.
I pointed it out to the nurse as I suspect the overlap is high.

If you’re looking for where you can get the Nuvaxovid Covid vaccine in Toronto, I emailed OPDPInfoBox@ontario.ca to ask for the full list of pharmacies in Toronto so you don’t have to. Call ahead to confirm they received them, wear your mask and be well, my Covid-aware friends! 😷🫶 Thanks Jeff!

We dodged an influenza bullet with our N95s*. Yay science.
Got our flu shots last week - but as always we behave as if Tony is not inoculated due to his transplant and cancer immunosuppression meds.
*Cases now on my Dad's LTC floor.

Due to it having negative pressure or whatever you call it. The first person didn't seem to think they'd even have N95s around but someone else must've done something because later I was told everyone would wear them (& I saw quite a range of them).
