It’s okay to be glad that restaurants are doing stuff like this AND absolutely furious about the utter failure of the United States government.

Wear a respirator FFS

No. Our mask requirement is not "virtue signalling". It's protecting a) the cancer patient and b) the child who is still too small to wear a mask. And also--and I can't emphasize this strongly enough--you.

This is a fantastic article I encourage everyone to read. The damaging effects of COVID on our immune system are not up for debate. It’s not hypothetical. And it’s not limited to “only the vulnerable”. This is why many of us mask. Respirators like an N95 do a great job preventing covid.

Shoutout to my fellow maskers!

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right. Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

Researchers in Spain have developed a new intranasal COVID-19 vaccine that eliminates the virus in mice. One dose gave 60% protection, but two intranasal doses achieved 100% protection with no detectable virus in nasal or lung tissue, suggesting sterilizing immunity. www.csic.es/es/actualida...

UPDATE: At least 19 states have issued orders to protect COVID vaccine access including AZ, CO, CT, DE, IL, KY, MA, MD, ME, MN, NC, NV, NJ, NM, NY, PA, RI, VA, WA. Almost all orders allow pharmacies to give vaccines without a prescription, some states have taken steps to ensure insurance coverage.

Doctors: we've accepted too many myths about Covid. My presentation explains why - and gives you the science you're missing. youtube.com/watch?v=GPUT... 🧵1/11

There is mounting evidence that indicates that Long COVID is a complex condition that continues to affect the health of millions of people worldwide. Browse this collection of Long COVID research from Communications Medicine. #medsky 🧪

We filtered smoke. We filtered asbestos. We filter water. Why the hell wouldn’t we filter the air we breathe every day? DONT BE AN IDIOT! Covid is still here and it’s still a biohazard and it’s still screwing with your immune system, heart and brain!!!

By mandating ASHRAE 241 for infection control for all indoor public spaces--which is just another perfectly ordinary building standard, of the kind we already have dozens of, all changing with time, like earthquake codes--we could ELIMINATE THE COMMON COLD. And save a bundle of money. And lives.

Oxford, 18 participants. Scientists found that the gap between COVID-19 vaccine doses strongly shapes T cell quality. Longer intervals, especially with mRNA vaccines, reduced inflammation and boosted secondary T cell growth. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🚨👇 a very impressive document about #FarUVC. This explains in scientific detail the key issues around the safe & effective use of this 🎯 technology. Even if you don't understand every word of it, save/bookmark it so you can come back to it if you have Qs or evaluating options. Oh, and share it too.

Would you be fine catching or spreading the plague? How about some tuberculosis? No? Then why are you fine doing the same with covid? Wear a respirator.

1/ I don’t know how to say this without sounding harsh, but I need you to hear it. COVID — or SARS-2 — is not “just another cold.” It doesn’t leave you the same. Every reinfection stacks damage: brain, heart, immune system.

1/ I conduct research and teach the benefits of exercise on brain health to young adults in a College of Applied Health Sciences. The same College that wants to “lead” in Public Health. And yet—when SARS-CoV-2 attacks the brain—there is silence. Thundering silence.

1/ Just because you have a PhD in health or science doesn’t mean you know shit about health or science. 🧵

one of the coolest things about masks is that it doesn’t matter what variant or pathogen or allergen etc it just filters you just have to wear it

Yet another reason to be concerned about climate change and indoor air quality!

Remember: if anyone says, 'we need to live with Covid' but doesn't also talk about vaccines, therapeutics, and mitigations, they're not actually saying we need to live with it, they're saying, 'I want to ignore it'.

Please sign if you care about workers. The people who botched the pandemic are trying to shut down the experts on aerosol hazards and workplace safety yet again. They were successful in 2020, and killed an enormous number of people. They'd kill more to bury that error and hide their culpability.

🔺 COVID-19 probability is growing by ~100%. As of Aug 5, the CDC estimates C19 infections are growing or likely growing in 45 states. bit.ly/C19Flu_Trends  🔺 Everyone is susceptible to complications and Long COVID. 🔺 Prevention is community care: #MaskTogetherAmerica

Great to see this. The answer to the question 👇 is yes! Sadly, this is far to rare these days. A few simple measures make a big difference, it just takes the will to act. #BeCovidSafe #SharedAirAware

please care about the futures of both yourself and others enough to #MaskUp in shared air. 🙏🏻 #CovidIsntOver #MasksWork

PARENTS - Schools are starting during a surge. Protect your children. Do the right thing for them. Help all children stay infection free.

Every classroom should have an air particulate monitor installed. And every newly built school should have an integrated CO2 sensor installed that would activate the ventilation system once the levels reach a pre-set number. Just like in our home.
