People still wearing masks (especially #N95s), this ad should make you feel seen -

It's 2026 &, shamefully, most schools still lack #NPIs that would significantly protect children & their teachers from airborne infections -
#N95s
#HEPAs
#Ventilation
#Filtration
#CO2 trackers
Just do it. It's NOT rocket science 🚀

When what the public really needs to hear more about is: #Prevention, masking, #N95s, ventilation, filtration, #HEPAs, upgraded #IAQ, carbon dioxide monitors, #CO2, vaccine-plus mitigation, & #LongCOVID, etc.
But to do that, journalists need to read more & start talking to the "right" experts.
Before this weekend's #NoKings marches & other #Community events, here's my regular reminder to #MaskUp!
Wear A #Respirator Mask, & take extra #N95s to share
Find (or start!) a local #MaskBloc & encourage others to #WearAMask #WearARespirator
#BeInclusive
#Solidarity is keeping each other safe!✊😷

That's why we need to reinstate masks in #Yukon hospitals & all healthcare settings. And this time with #N95s. Because the pandemic is not over, & there's still NO cure for #LongCOVID -

This is a great chance to speak DIRECTLY to policy-makers if you want things like:
💨 #CleanAir in schools and public spaces
🩺 #LongCovid care
💩 wastewater monitoring
😷 #N95s for healthcare workers
🧪 free rapid tests past 2026
💉 ongoing vaccine access including #NovavaxNow
Now that the pot-banging and heart signs in windows are a distant memory, how are we thanking our #nurses and other #healthcare workers? By exposing them daily to #COVID, #flu and other airborne viruses. Short-staffed hospitals and clinics are now the norm.
#maskup #N95s #chronicillness #disability
It is good to see the nurses speaking strongly in favour of our public health care system. Yet, they continue to be silent on the use of #N95s in health care settings. In fact, it seems most of them are opposed of any mask wearing mandates.
“To address the rise in silicosis cases, over the last couple years Cal/OSHA has instituted temporary regulations requiring fabrication shops to use full coverage respirator masks, to increase ventilation and to use wet-cutting methods.”
#N95s
For everyone #Covid-conscious, who still masks ( #N95s), cares deeply about #ClimateChange, prefers taxation of the rich to tax-deductible philanthropy, & resists #Fascism (yes), this is for you -
* & apologies for not knowing who wrote it.

Some of us have been advocating while living with #LongCOVID, for 6 years now. So that's only another 11 years of #Sisyphean advocacy remaining.
▶️ Only another 11 years of preventable waves of infection, unmasked doctors, an #OngoingPandemic, poor #IAQ, & unused #N95s, #HEPAs & #CO2 monitors.
#Maskup with #N95s & #CleanTheAir: the only certain way to avoid #LongCOVID is to avoid #COVID -
1/
And in 🇨🇦 Canada too.
How do you identify a doctor who knows a lot about #LongCOVID?
▶️ They're well read on Long COVID
▶️ They mask (with #N95s)
▶️ They open windows
▶️ They run #HEPAs in their consulting & waiting rooms
Unlike most members of the @cmadocs.bsky.social -
16/
▶️ We also need freely supplied #N95s, upgraded #Ventilation + #Filtration in public spaces indoors (including all healthcare settings, daycares, schools, & workplaces), with #IAQ monitored by publicly displayed #CO2 monitors.
And I'm getting increasingly worried about accounts like this, spreading #Misinformation, when #VaxAndRelax has long passed its expiry date.
⚠️ We need a vaccine-plus strategy to mitigate against #COVID & #LongCOVID.
Ergo: #NPIs #N95s #HEPAs #CleanAir
This is common sense, not doomerism.

"Nearly 6 years since Covid-19 first came to Vermont, there is still very little known about #LongCOVID..."
Not if you can read 👇
Herewith 20,000+ published studies on Long COVID, i.e. 20K reasons to mask (with #N95s) to avoid #Reinfections -
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/research/cor...
Prediction: @jossreimer.bsky.social will tow the government line, enabling officials to say they are "following the science" when they are not.
Don't expect this doc to #DropDropletDogma, nor recommend masking ( #N95s), better #IAQ, or use of #CO2 monitors, to prevent #Reinfections & #LongCOVID -

And how about modelling best practices of infection prevention, by wearing #N95s while you platform reliable health information?
And maybe the importance of eating fibre should go without saying now.
Like the importance of washing our hands.
1/
@cmadocs.bsky.social - we can agree on all this - but in an #OngoingPandemic of an injurious #AirborneVirus, you really should be talking about -
▶️ the importance of masking (with #N95s, no less) + ventilation + filtration + #CO2 tracking;

Anecdotals from in-class observations:
-more kids symptomatic lately
*something is ramping up in schools this week.
More community spread coming.

#iotacarrageenannasalspray
Ok, I started down that rabbit hole. I'll stop there for everyone's sake.
You can find me in the bar getting tanked with Cassandra.
Stay safe folks, wear your #N95s RFK doesn't have your back.
False health information is not only found online - @cmadocs.bsky.social too, is misinforming Canadians -
▶️ no, the pandemic is not over;
▶️ no, it is not enough to "vax & relax";
▶️ reinfections cause cumulative harm;
▶️ & infection prevention entails masking ( #N95s) + ventilation + filtration.
And @cmadocs.bsky.social ALSO has a responsibility to address the spread of health-related misinformation in #OngoingPandemic.
We cannot "vax & relax" our way out of it, because we don't have a sterilizing vaccine. And #COVID is not just a "cold".
#DropDropletDogma

Actually it still is.
And that's why athletes are wearing #N95s (no less) without having to be told to -

In which case, #DropDropletDogma & reinstate masks (with #N95s, no less) in 🇨🇦 Canadian hospitals, including in the #Yukon -
chng.it/WP7b8CgcWq
3/
And because @cmadocs.bsky.social continues to hold fast to #DropletDogma.
When (if ever) 🇨🇦 Canadians see doctors wearing #N95s & attending to #IAQ, we'll know the position of @cmadocs.bsky.social has changed.
Until then, this medical association is firmly on the #WrongSideOfHistory.

"We're the physicians on the frontlines providing that care, so we know what our patients need..."
☝️ Actually, Dr. Smart, in the 7th year of an #OngoingPandemic of an injurious #AirborneVirus, we need you & your colleagues to wear #N95s, run #HEPAs, open windows, & track #CO2 -
I've never seen BC this low (but it's still high). #N95s #WearAMask #LongCovid
