You're right! We should post them more often.

Feeling determined and making buttons. #MaskUp #MasksSaveLives #NormalizeMasking #WearingIsCaring

I wear an N95 mask (unstylish, hospital-white, 3M Aura) because
1) I simply don’t want covid, for as long as I can avoid it,

2) I don’t want to be part of the evolutionary landscape of this virus, and

3) to normalize masking, to help folks who are less healthy than I am.

#NormalizeMasking

I'm normalizing masking by wearing my 😷 in all public indoor places & staring back at anyone who stares at me. (Except children. I smile back at them.)

Love this! Thank you for the idea. I just looked into it and it's possible over here, too. Going to have some T-shirts printed for my family and a couple of friends who are sometimes masking. This may encourage them to #MaskUp more often!

Wore a mask for my vol shift at our local hospital yesterday

Saw no one else wearing one
(And, on the other hand, got no grief / ?s for wearing one)

#NormalizeMasking

Just me and Joe at @bsidespdx.bsky.social , wearing masks like dozens of other attendees. Some folks wore respirators, others full bubble helmet things like you would see in a sci-fi movie. Masked or not, everyone was super chill about it. #normalizemasking

You look awesome, #Maskfluencer! #CoolRespiratorMask!

And even by imperfect masking, we apparently made the B/Yamagata strain go extinct. It hasn't been detected since March 2020 so the EU Medicines Agency said to remove it from the 2024-25 flu shots:
