There is an echo-chamber problem. But it is only one side of the political spectrum who are climbing into echo chambers.

I think it’s worth emphasizing that IPAC’s obsession with droplet and surface transmission actually makes continuous N95s in healthcare a problem, because infection control considers an N95 to be “dirty” and in need of changing when leaving a room.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

You wags. On another note, seem to be an awful lot of people here who live a subsistence life, growing their own food from gathered seed and making clothing from raw fibre, etc.... But wait, they're on the internet.... 🤔
