#mask
I winder how many North American 'covid anti-maskers' will now be masking up because they can see or taste the smoke from the Canadian wildfires?
#Wildire #AirQuality #Mask #Covid #AntiMask
I guess that answers my question about masks and wildfire smoke among the Red Hat crowd. Fine, suck up the smoke, suckers. Thankfully, your refusal to wear a #mask has zero impact on the rest of us this time. https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-news-host-jeanine-pirro-calls-it-insanity-wear-mask-protect-yourself-wildfire-smoke
Canadians and North American East Coasters, we here in the West (California, Oregon, Washington) know exactly what you're going through and we sympathize. Until the winds shift and move the toxic air away from your areas:
1) Keep all windows, doors, and vents closed.
2) Run indoor air filters especially near the young, old and people with breathing complications.
3) Avoid going outside but if you must, wear N95 masks. They trap the dangerous particulate that's floating in your air.
4) Please keep your pets indoors until the air clears. They're just as vulnerable to toxic air as we are.

If people won't wear a #mask when they can see and smell the danger... No wonder we're doomed when it comes to invisible dangers.
"With wildfire smoke in the forecast for Toronto, is it time to bring back masks?" http://www.torontostar.com/news/canada/2023/06/06/with-wildfire-smoke-in-the-forecast-for-toronto-is-it-time-to-bring-back-masks.html TracingCOVID says: how is this a question? Smoke inhalation first disorients, then kills. Smoke particles irritate the lower bronchial tubes within the lungs, which constricts airflow and obstructs oxygen from reaching the brain. To keep a clear head, wear a good mask, ideally N95 or KN95, but a mouth+nose covering at the very least. Block those particles! #wildfire #mask #besafe
Another 75 km today and another outstanding ride. My first in a #KN95 #mask (against #wildfire #smoke). Times have changed for sure. Back to the Ellis Swamp area this aft, and north of it for a few km on the #Goderich to #Guelph #Rail #Trail - not a whole pint, sadly, but a nice sip.
I don’t often get up that way owing to prevailing winds. This year is a novel situation, completely different.

I was actually harassed yesterday in public transport because I'm wearing face mask 🤦♀️ 😠
Some creep was coughing ostentatiously my way and saying something like: "Careful lady, I will infect you".
I ignored him and only turned away (no much space to move), fortunately he got off on the next stop but I'm still annoyed by this.
I really wish for people like this to get sick and taste their own medicine.
If that makes me bad person so be it.

I’ve been continuing to wear a N95 #mask on planes and in airports while travelling. Also at concerts. I’m feeling affirmed in this decision by the Friendly Neighbor Epidemiologist, who is now in Tanzania with her family. They all wore masks on the plane. After three years escaping #COVID19, one of her family members tested positive for Covid the day they arrived — so he was already contagious while on the plane (although symptomless until after arriving at destination). https://open.substack.com/pub/emilysmith/p/hello-from-tanzania-with-covid?r=7p2cc&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
The #TourDeFrance has instituted a #mask policy, barred autographs and dining out for riders, and instituted other #Covid mitigation measures, after the leader in the recent Giro d’Italia dropped out with Covid.
Wish the public received similarly responsible guidance from health agencies instead of being left to try to read the vibes.
Just pushed my Spring #Booster (7th #Covid #vaccine) appointment back a week. I am still recovering from a #cold that I picked up at the dental hygienist two weeks ago, and that has affected severely #immunosuppressed me really badly. Not only would I still be #infectious, but I would also be very uncomfortable going there, and in my #mask to protect me and others. So pushed back a week. Got to be sensible. #dentist #NHS

I think this is a record for me even for the redneck town I'm in right now (big clue in the attached selfie) Not sure if it's my #ElectromericRespirator #Mask or my #Pride bandana, or the combination of the two but...
I got 2 guys looking at me then each other trying to keep straight faces... A chick who looked me up and down and smirking so bad I actually laughed as she passed, and another woman who couldn't contain her smirk... In the span of 20 minutes!
Bought the Flo Mask for my teen! Thank you Fedi for helping to keep my family safe! <33
And someone bought a set of filters for the 3M Secure Click respirator! So now I just need the rest of the #mask funded!!

We don't only travel to beautiful places. We meet beautiful people.
I'll be frank. I need more people reading me on #Medium and more people subscribing on ko-fi.
I'm #disabled from my #cancer, but also from the fact that my #cancer caused me to lose my ability to #mask my #autism. Maybe I'll be able to find myself in place in the workplace, but right now I'm not seeing it.
#Subscriptions on ko-fi start as low as one dollar a month. At that level you're supporting me and you get to direct message me if you want to.
Why am I still masking in enclosed public spaces?
"Overall, 181 or (13 percent of the total survey takers) reported testing positive for COVID-19, and 52 percent of the COVID-positive responders indicated it was their first known bout of COVID-19. Nearly all of the survey takers, 1,435 (99.4 percent), reported having received at least one COVID-19 vaccine. But 70 percent of the survey takers reported going unmasked during the gathering."
Wow: duckbill N95s for 10¢ each. They’re in 50-packs, not individually wrapped, but can’t beat that price.
In the early days of the pandemic I realised I'd be doing a lot of mask wearing so I invested in a GVS Elipse P3 mask. Comfortable, cheap ($/hour of use), and very effective the only drawback are all the strange looks I get in public but those have never bothered me.
Sharing a small unit with COVID positive family members it's been a godsend. 14+ hours of wear each day (I can even nap in it) and I'm still testing negative a week later.

People have truly shown who they are over the last few years and I don't have it in me to keep dealing with it. I haven't been able to do much, like go to the dentist, doctors, hairdressers, restaurants, stores, ect, because "masks are so hard to wear and covid is over".
I wouldn't mind if it just killed me, but it doesn't, it keeps making my stroke and other problems worse. #COVID #Mask #Disabled #LongCovid

So, I follow the #Mask hashtag, because I'm interested in respiratory protection. Today, that brought up video of a man masturbating in a pig mask. Mind you, he correctly marked the content as adult so it would be hidden from the sensitive. (I'm not.) I'm just saying, it was a surprise.

I have a #Mask recommendation!
My kid hated vogmasks, but wore them anyway b/c they're a sensible teenager. So we had them try on a 3M 6000 and a 3M 6500 respirator, and they really liked both of them! In fact the 6500 one they just left on for like a half hour for no reason (we're in our home atm)
They're cheap too. They do have an exhalation valve but that could be a selling point for ya. Makes ya sound like a robot too

Is it strange that I'm the only staff member wearing a mask in this building? A couple of my students do, most don't. But no other staff member in this building? BTW I'm not part of public health school, I just teach media theory in one of their classrooms. Maybe they know something I don't?
@luckytran And yet hospitals is where you get a higher concentration of vulnerable and at-risk patients. Even catching a common cold from someone in a crowded waiting room can trigger serious problems in people with #asthma, #cancer, transplant recipients, etc. There must be data out there showing a drop in #nosocomial infections during #mask wearing during mandates?
Not just hospitals, any healthcare setting where vulnerable people and sick people are likely to mix -- including their FP's clinic.

Had a doctor’s appointment today. Went in with a #mask because it’s a healthcare environment, and the doctor asked if I was feeling sick given I had a mask on. I replied that I was just being responsible and that the clinic’s own pre-appointment form had a stipulation that patients were required to wear masks. The doctor was perplexed and assured me I could take it off. I didn’t.
On another note, I love looking for new GPs.

New #mask day! This is by Airigami. It is not yet NIOSH or FDA approved but has passed independent tests and won many awards.
Pros: Super comfortable, lightweight, doesn’t push up your glasses (or fog them), choice of many colors as well as ear loops or head strap, reusable, washable & heat sterilizable
Cons: Not an elastomeric, so I need to be clean shaven, may be warmer than other masks
Conclusion: Glad to have this stylish and light alternative.
Despite being vocal about how important it is to advocate for yourself (in the form of asking people to wear a #mask or #respirator in your personal space), actually doing so in real time can be intimidating. Especially when they’re both a stranger and a cisgender man 🥹
Luckily, there are still people who seem not to give a fuck and will do as you ask.

It's unfortunate. It marks an ethos that would not allow the most effective vaccines to succeed. Yes, given the variants, COVID 19 vaccines did not do a great job against transmission. Yet, this skepticism against capitalism, against the distribution of these vaccines helped diminish their efficacy by both changing the willingness of people to get vaccinated to help others and not just themselves and to change behaviors such as #mask wearing.
Opinion: Ca health care providers’ retreat from COVID masking is shameful
In what universe is it ethically appropriate for physicians & hospitals to infect their own patients with COVID?
By DR. NOHA ABOELATA
Decisions to unmask aren't data driven or supported by experiential evidence. That is why hospital-issued statements fail to cite science for their policy changes. Instead, faceless committees issue platitudes about being in a “new phase”

@luckytran not sure people today are on a mask because of #covid or any germs.. or simply they are caught up with life they never had. I witness #mask wearing effect just few months before 2020, I was in Taiwan mid 2019. I was amazed how many people were in mask there... they are in mask for the last 10 years, they unable to let it go and that effect is post 6 months shocks.. it is 2 years shocks now. use common sense, you have everything to protect yourself without nothing and don't lost that.

The WHO can only advise. They do so, and whilst governments may not head their advise (or their medical community), we personally can.
I do.
I wear a mask so I neither easily become a breeding ground for mutation nor, if I fail, circulate the virus "pretty much unchecked."
Do I get bonus points for neither having had a cold nor the flu since 2019 because of wearing a mask? That's weeks of misery not experienced by me, and by not spreading years of misery not shared in the population. 😷

@doggle @actuallyautistic hang in there. Fine to wear a #mask. I only eased up 2 weeks ago here. Curious to see how the shops do on the returns. Also, email customer service of the manufacturers. Let the shops know you did. Take a copy with you. This helps them with future returns.
Are you walking around stores without an #N95 #respirator #mask during what still is very much an ongoing #pandemic? Going to restaurants, concerts, etc. and inhaling the invisible microscopic water-balls called #aerosols that may well have #SARSCov2 #virus hitching a ride on them as they float around for hours?
Well, then, congratulations! You may get to experience this too! See the original post by @bhawthorne for details, at https://infosec.exchange/@bhawthorne/110135620407824011
Personally, I don’t want #LongCovid, ever.
Obligatory intro post from a new instance: I'm Daywalking Redhead - if you've seen the South Park episode, you'll get the joke. I'm in the US.
I have a standard poodle, Samwise, who was meant to be my #ServiceDog until he had a grand Mal seizure. He's enjoying being a retired pupper, playing with his Wubba and our Covid bubble mates' black lab puppy. My daughter's dog is medicated for extreme anxiety, and I can't get another puppy to train while he's with us. Such is life - he's an adorable tiny menace. Expect photos.
I #garden. Started in 2020, as a way to keep my sanity, and loved it. I'm working on removing all the invasives, and replacing them with a #NativeFoodForest. Expect photos.
I'm #disabled, working on unpacking my internalized #ableism. Probably neurospicy, but not officially dxd. My doctor is the one who just assumes I am.
I'm aware of my cis and white privilege, and working on being anti-racist and anti-transphobic.
I don't mind Christians, as long as they keep that lifestyle choice to themselves. Given that I live in a state that's been taken over by cristofascists who mean to kill me and mine, and given that other christians aren't standing up and fighting them on it, I'm shifting swiftly toward actively hostile to the entire mess. I absolutely think we should #TaxAllChurches, regardless of religion, and dissolve those who are active in politics. Separation of church and state is a demand, not a polite suggestion.
I'm #VaccinatedAF. I #mask 100% of the time in public, as does the rest of my household and the other two households in our #CovidBubble.
Interests include and are not limited to: sci-fi/fantasy, urban fantasy, mystery, superheroes, comics/graphic novels, movies, art, photography, music - many genres, Star Wars/Trek, video games, PokemonGo, weather nerdery, ASMR, and whatever other random thing catches my fancy in any moment.

"...we apologize.”

I tried a basic, at home, #mask #FitnessTest. I bought some sweet n low. Diluted a whole box of about 800 grams in a quarter cup of boiling water. I tried putting it in a spray bottle and tasting it. It didn't work well so I put the solution in an ultrasonic humidifier. That worked really well. My GVS elipse P100 and Dräger X-plore 2100 both fail when I smile. I'll have to be more serious in public. The Vitacore CAN99 did well. The KF94s that I bought in Korea instantly failed
I'm so exhausted of the #COVID conversation. I'm well aware it's still a risk, as are many many things in life. Getting into an accident on a motorcycle is 21 times more likely to kill you than in a car. If that scares you, we won't talk about general aviation.
Just because you see me hanging out with 10 friends without a #mask doesn't mean I need a lecture. I just cancelled plans tonight because I was #exposed to someone who was #exposed to someone who was #exposed to COVID.
