You mean like wearing N95s and running large HEPAs in each room like they did at the start of this thing?

If you have to go to work, or out to the drugstore, or wherever, wear one of those nice N95s we got used to during Covid. If everyone wore them when they had a respiratory bug, we'd all get sick less often.

Then they put it on upside down (agency claims their staff all have training on wearing N95s but it sure doesn't seem so) and acted sullen for the first half of the visit.

Health agency agrees N95 masks worn at all times in home. It's on my chart. Free masks are beside outer door. Eye-level suite door sign w/ pics says: No entry without N95!
Unmasked aide, after literally just knocking on signed door: We need N95s?

「 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

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!

Just incredibly grim.
The thing I resonate with most is his third point: no one is willing to create plans to combat potential negative outcomes-- because thinking about negative outcomes is too uncomfortable. 🧵

One more of the dozens of ways Republicans steal elections.
Never forget: Kudlow advised the president to get everyone infected in April 2020, nine months before N95s or vaccines were available. Resulting in more than one million needless deaths and injury of everyone.

To the question: "Do you still take precautions against COVID (& other airborne pathogens)?"
• There is no such thing as a benign viral infection
• People neither stay home nor mask when sick
• Few places meet new ventilation standards
• Even mild colds suck
• N95s work

Long answer:
• There is no such thing as a benign viral infection
• People neither stay home nor mask when sick

This is not without precedent. In April 2020 they decided to get everyone infected, nine months before N95s or vaccines were available. Resulting in the needless deaths of over 1 million citizens and injury of every GD one of us. Why? Election year and it’s the economy, stupid.

Great sentiment
ABSOLUTELY crucial for mandated N95s to prevent airborne transmission🙏
Just a heads up,HCWs WON’T be protecting patients bc there’s0️⃣ accountability/enforcement&they just don’t want to🤷🏻♀️
Even pre op & recovery nurses refuse to😷,like at all,so let er rip I guess🫤

The article and these 'experts' continue to propogate a sense of uncertainty about the relationship between COVID infection and increases in heart attacks.
The causation relationship is real & prevention of COVID infection MUST always be the goal.
Fitted N95s are the best layer of protection🙏

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).
