HuskifyJust got an email from the company from where I order my N95 masks. 3M is implementing a 6% 'supply chain increase' across all products, effective April 2, 2026. Stock up on N95 masks now if you can afford it!
datum (n=1)Look, we have known for more than half a decade that COVID-19 is airborne, we shouldn't need to have this fight.
When an article gets something wrong to the point that it is dangerous to the public, that is the definition of a public danger. So when this piece https://theconversation.com/covid-19-variant-ba-3-2-is-spreading-quickly-across-us-a-doctor-explains-what-you-need-to-know-279447 says
First, wash your hands
if this bothers you too, you're welcome to complain until they correct (and to hopefully make their editors adjust to correct in future):

It's 2023 - no it's 2024. It's 2025. No, no, it's 2026! And we have another variant that defeats vaccination to date:
BA.3.2-derived lineages exhibit escape from vaccine-elicited neutralising antibodies [1]
And another variant that is defeated by N95s 
and clean air, because
70 to 75 genetic changes in its spike protein [2]
can't stop aerosolized particles from being trapped by effective filtration.

Sarah dreams of beansDuring this whole pandemic I have been pondering how to have satisfying social events that are not centered around food and drinks, which was my usual in the before times.
New experiment today was having a friend do a masked dj set in the kitchen during a craft party. 10/10 recommend craft rave.
Patrick* NeithardWhile I appreciate most of this article, its prominent advice [1. wash hands] followed by [3. get fresh air to avoid risk of exposure] misses the point of #CovidIsAirborne
The issue is the hierarchy here and I’m tempted to ask “do you breathe any different after washing your hands?”

Stop ignoring airborne transmission of viruses, medical world.
similar to the finding of the 2007 SARS Campbell Commission.
If we fail this a third time, going forward, we are truly unable to learn.
Quarantegan#PublicHealth needs to wake THE EFF UP & start teaching the public about what "airborne transmission" means & everything they need to know to avoid it.
Like, YESTERDAY.

JonathanRandom thought.
Class actions proceeding against long-term care home for avoidable COVID-19 deaths.
The irony with these cases is that the LTC homes should defend and claim against the government, saying government gave them negligent airborne control advice because government has been wrong about the science for 100 years.
But they won't and the government will escape liability and blame the LTC homes. So it goes.
🙌 The Tyee has done amazingly well with this piece. And again, this is NOT a historic roundup - COVID-19 has ongoing community transmission and is impacting people's lives and health, today, right now.
People are tired of the COVID pandemic. There is a desire to move on. But even today, as we write this, there continue to be outbreaks in hospitals and long-term care facilities in Alberta and elsewhere in North America.
7/7 🧵
