"Getting most people to wear a mask could nip the outbreak in the bud, preventing a pandemic or lessening its impact. Wearing a mask is inconvenient, but not as inconvenient as lockdowns."
"The bottom line from our recent review is masks work. Along with improving indoor air quality and avoiding crowded, underventilated places, they provide the best way to avoid catching a respiratory infection. And our findings support previous advice to not just wear any mask but wear the best mask available."
Bonjour Masto !
On recherche des recommandations de lecture sur le début de la pandémie dans les pays nord-africains, et plus particulièrement au Maroc
Es gibt ja nicht nur leichte Momente auf Reisen. Das National Covid Memorial hat mich sehr berührt und erschüttert. Bereits von weitem sieht man, dass die gesamte Wand des Ufers gegenüber des britischen Parlaments rot ist. Jedes dieser Herzen steht für einen Menschen, bei dem COVID auf der Sterbeurkunde vermerkt wurde. Die Zahl ist seit meinem Besuch weiter gestiegen.
As a physician, I can attest that masks protect against many threats to our health, including pollution, wildfire smoke, infectious diseases, and allergens. All of us, and especially disabled and immunocompromised folks, need to be able to wear masks freely in public spaces. Please sign and share this petition against the North Carolina mask ban. #COVID#MaskUp#ClimateChange#disabilityhttps://chng.it/C7XNnpx9gL
I have been eating antibiotics for days now, due to inflammation in my surgical wound - and it had proven to my that my ears indeed don't have issues in them that could be fixed with an antibiotic.
Instead covid caused some kind of structural damage that causes daily pain in my left ear, while my right ear hurts occasionally OR makes so ALL sounds become distorted, painful, and difficult to handle. This has been going on for almost 3 YEARS!
I think it is really important we speak out against this bill as it could be copy-catted in other states, and its just messed up, so I started an email campaign: TIME-SENSITIVE!: Join the email campaign to stop HB 237 from passing in NC House of Representatives! If passed, this bill will make it illegal to wear a mask in public even for medical reasons, more info at https://the-maskers-comic.yolasite.com/stophb237 We need to send these emails out ASAP!
"Every time you wear a mask or plug in an air purifier, you're doing counter memory. You're reminding people that masks and air purifiers don't symbolize danger or loss of freedom. They symbolize health and protection. They kept us safe. They keep us safe now."
Update on Mask Ban in NC: Since this bill passed in the Senate, we now have to stop it from passing in the House: TIME-SENSITIVE!: Join the email campaign to stop HB 237 from passing in NC House of Representatives! If passed, this bill will make it illegal to wear a mask in public even for medical reasons, info here: https://the-maskers-comic.yolasite.com/stophb237
Still can't get over the fact that lawmakers in NC decided that wearing a mask was a crime.
The worst thing is that they are having a hard time justifying it, and no one who is not crazy is like oh what a great idea.
If I do not talk about where I live it is because this place has nothing great for it, and the rare people that are somehow decent here do not come from here.
Yes, I am outraged that despite having allergies that require me to wear a mask I do not have the freedom to look after myself.
North Carolina bans medical masks (seriously), US/UK/NZ surging, covid 60% deadlier than influenza, weird new variant symptoms, US: no fall vax for uninsured, covid ripping through New Zealand schools, rAW MiLk eNTHusIaSTs, masking on the Fallout set, and more.
@violetblue 's Pandemic Roundups document a relentless virus, it's potentially debilitating and dangerous effects, and the equally relentless official denials that it's even a problem:
-US: North Carolina votes to ban masks “for public health reasons”
-Covid 60% more deadly than influenza
-New FLiRT symptoms include palm rash, muscle pain, fibrosing lung
-US: no fall vaccines for uninsured
#FunFact
The same N-95, KN-95, and equivalent respirators that protect you from airborne contagious disease also provide protection from wildfire smoke. #MaskUp#AirQuality#CovidIsNotOver
It would criminalize mask-wearing in public even for medical reasons ... It's just unacceptable.. there's a change petition https://chng.it/6kf5XTsv6t and people we need to email tonight/before 9am Wed morning (5-15), this endangers us / violates rights!

I copied this obituary this morning from the LA Times, just a reminder to everyone that #covid is NOT over. #COVID19#maskup I am not related to this lady, but on this mother’s day please protect those you love. #covidisnotover#covidisairborne#science
