It’s discouraging to those of us who continue to mask every day to witness our friends and family drop all mitigations. I’d love to see people who care about their community enough to not spread illness. Try posting at least for a few days! Show us what other mitigations you are taking. I know not all people are medically or financially able to wear a respirator (like newborns), so it’s incredibly important that the rest of us keep public spaces safe for them. Don’t forget to tag @MaskTogetherAmerica (or me @SadSackOlympian) and add the hashtags: #12DaysOfMasks and #MaskTogetherAmerica.” Filmmaker: Kasia Kowalczyk Editor: Julie Lam

And here's the promotion of the #12DaysOfMasks, how do you like the editorial work of this piece? Kasia Kowalczyk is a filmmaker herself. We had a great time working together. www.instagram.com/reel/DTIjTp5...

I get a financial benefit from wearing a mask.

I don't get sick and pass on illness to my wife.

I get sick pay, but she doesn't. She would lose thousands of pounds if she got sick.

Lots of people asked about this ombré mask, and where to buy it, so here's a🧵.

You can buy the ombré, black & white versions from PPEO, or the black from The Face Mask Store (UK)

Masks are a useful, science-backed way to reduce your risk of spreading & catching illnesses. To be effective it must fit snug to your face over your mouth & nose - a mask is only as good as its fit & only works if you wear it. #12daysofmasks @togetherwemask.bsky.social @sadsackolympian.bsky.social

I live my life in a way that aligns w/ reality and my values. My mask protects me & those around me. It doesn't stop me from living life, it enables me to do things I might otherwise have to skip due to ⬆️ risk to my health. #12daysofmasks @togetherwemask.bsky.social @sadsackolympian.bsky.social

Hospital-acquired COVID is a serious concern, w/ incidence & mortality rates remaining high. We should not have to choose between getting care & getting infected with a BSL-3 pathogen. Mask up to stop chains of transmission. #12daysofmasks @togetherwemask.bsky.social @sadsackolympian.bsky.social

The Swiss cheese model for prevention uses multiple layers of defense to reduce risk, as no single measure is 100%. Here I've combined masking, far UVC, & vaccination. Discounts on far UVC in my bio. #12daysofmasks @togetherwemask.bsky.social @sadsackolympian.bsky.social @faruvtech.bsky.social

Super Flu Estimates:
 
From Oct 1, 2025- Jan 3, 2026, CDC estimates for Flu: 15M - 26M lab-confirmed cases, 6.8M - 12M medical visits for flu-like illnesses, 180K - 380K hospitalizations, and 7.4K - 38K deaths, including children!

Title: Preliminary 2025-2026 U.S. Flu In-Season Disease Burden Estimate.  
Since Oc 1, 2025, CDC Estimates there have been between: 
—15 and 26 million people who have caught the flu
—6.8 million and 12 million medical visits for the flu
—180,000 - 380,000 hospitalizations for flu. 
⚠️Because flu surveillance doesn’t capture all the cases, CDC provides estimated ranges to better reflect the full burden of the flu in the US. These updated weekly estimates, calculated using a mathematical model based on CDC’s weekly influenza surveillance data, are preliminary.

Sometimes a mask needs adjustments - tying the ear/head loops a little tighter, adding foam to the nose bridge - to achieve an effective fit. The better it fits your face, the better the protection factor. #12daysofmasks @togetherwemask.bsky.social @sadsackolympian.bsky.social

I saw the same taxi driver today - the one I gave the masks to before Christmas.

She had the masks to hand. She wasn't wearing one.

And she wasn't familiar with how to put them on.

A🧵about how learning happens. #OneOfTheTwo #12DaysOfMasks #RetrievalPractice

If I've gotta wear it (in a world with increasing airborne issues including viral & climate risks, this is just reality), may as well match! KN95 & N95s come in many styles, colors & patterns now, it's a protective accessory! #12daysofmasks @togetherwemask.bsky.social @sadsackolympian.bsky.social

Airborne viruses can hang in the air for hours after an infected person breathing them out leaves a room. I try to request appointments early in the day and always wear my mask in medical settings to reduce potential exposure. #12daysofmasks @togetherwemask.bsky.social @sadsackolympian.bsky.social
