Study debunks the idea that people using CPAP machines output more infectious particles than people breathing normally.
Knowing this helps us target resources and safety protocols more usefully, or it would if hospitals concentrated on reducing aerosol transmission overall to protect everyone.

Do you remember the feeling you had when you saw the Canadian flag being misused by the fringe truck convoy, flying on the back of pickups? They stole our flag to attack our elected government. Now we are taking back our flag to defend Canada and the pickups are empty. They never were patriots.

We all saw the "freedom" truck convoy occupy Ottawa for weeks. We all saw the support from MAGA in the US, US flags being waved, F Trudeau flags, and anti-vaccine slogans. But never forget what we also saw, the official Opposition leader lending his full support.

Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing.
Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.
