I often point out the MANY benefits of masking / cleaning the air / ventilation - even if one isnt worried about
#covid19
(lessening allergen & pollutant exposure, helping cognitive performance, etc.) Here's another one⤵️ from my alma mater

Wearing a mask while exercising indoors improves lung function
Face masks not only help protect wearers from virus transmission — they can also help ease the workload on the lungs during exercise in both dry and cold conditions, a U of A study shows.

Update: I've found one for £90 in Penge (London, SE20). Probably not possible to get one much cheaper, as all that is available in UK this yr is
#Pfizer
(and it runs more expensive than
#Novavax
did).

Just come back from getting my autumn
#covid19vaccine
. Almost no one in UK qualifies to get them free on the NHS so I've had to pay out of pocket (again!) Getting 1 jab every 6 mos. means I've paid a whopping £185 pounds out of pocket in 2025 (that's $346CAD) /1

UK: What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has the answer: "Respirators would have dropped the rate of COVID transmission by an estimated factor of 9, compared with 0.6 for surgical masks. A factor of 9 is enough to put SARS-COV-2 into exponential decay!
