We need masks in healthcare...ALWAYS
Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

Palestine Action hearing.
Our legal arguments focus on the fact that proscribing a direct-action protest group is a disproportionate use of anti-terrorism laws.
This case will have profound implications for how counter terror powers are used against protestors in the future.

This fact *alone* demonstrates the utility of masking (and social distancing,) and that the vaccines do not prevent COVID infection or transmission.
“On February 1, 2022, while facing the Omicron variant and with the older adult newly boosted, Denmark became the first country to drop all NPIs. A few months later, 70% of the population had been infected with the Omicron variant, showing the SARS-CoV-2 transmission potential when unmitigated.”

I wondered what was going on. I've gained 35 pounds since I got COVID six years ago. I can't exercise anymore, but my diet is as healthy as it ever was. I shouldn't weigh more than I did when I was about to give birth, had toxemia, and had been on bed rest for eight weeks.

At the same time, corporations are building hundreds of energy-hungry data centers, and working families are being forced to absorb the cost. Higher bills for us, higher profits for them. seiu.co/3M71usW

I'm really confused. It's the right thing to do, but thus far they've been avoiding any talk about masks. Now, out of the blue, bc of the flu pandemic, they have decided to distribute free masks among the population.
Do they know something we don't, or have they become, suddenly, sensible?

And people moving away from you because you are wearing a mask, and towards the person without a mask coughing up a lung. And then you see that coughing person enter the doctors office where there is no air purifier and the doctor is not wearing a mask either.

Flu. If masking with respirators is not normalized fast, we are facing a very dangerous winter. H1N1, H3N2, mutations and reassortments, and bird flu (H5N1, H5N5 at our doorstep). With the current high incidence, the possibilities of evolution to even more dangerous strains rise... in waves.
