The people who should know better®™ need to stop using terms "mask" & "masking" as if it is equivalent to/shorthand for/wearing ≥FFP2 respirators. Stop with the weasel words such as "high quality mask". Spell it out. Show and tell. #NameAndNormalise #NoFalseEquivalence #Wear≥FFP2RespiratorsNotMasks

Sure, people wearing "masks", yes, source control as they *may* be unwell, but people wearing ≥FFP2 respirators, no, they're protecting themselves. #PrecautionaryPrincipleFFS #Wear≥FFP2RespiraratorsNotMasks #NameAndNormalise #NoFalseEquivalence

"There should be zero job descriptions on the planet that require workers to regularly get infected."

May we also add ... stop using images of 50mL syringes with 18G hypodermics to illustrate vaccinations, stop using images of earloop surgical masks to illustrate articles on "high quality masks" when the article refers to ≥FFP2/N95 headstrap respirators #NameAndNormalise #AppropriateImages

"high quality mask" 🙄🙅‍♂️🤦‍♂️ One wonders what the psychological barrier is that prevents media/gov't/people who should know better®™ from naming exactly what is required. Surgical masks can be "high quality", but are useless in this situation.

Should be mandatory warning signage on "earloop surgicals" that every pharmacy I've been in from SYD to CBR to far south coast NSW seems to be peddling ...
