@MorriganResists I'm sorry to hear about your chronic herpes. For unknown reasons, #HerpesZoster (#shingles) is becoming more common, and a fair number of people will have recurrences.

We should never underestimate viruses. Many can cause long term (or later) effects.

The good news is that preventing one can help prevent most. If more people were cautious, we'd all be safer!

@TheMemeticist I wish they wore better masks in the pictures. Given what they are saying, they should know better.

Mask up and get vaccinated because things are going to get worse in January: Etches | CBC News

Dr. Vera Etches, Ottawa's medical officer of health, said there are things people can do now including masking in crowded public places like grocery stores, airports, and malls and staying home when sick to stop the spread of respiratory viruses.

@luckytran Three years in, why is there no certification of children's masks in the US?

Why hasn't there been an educational campaign of how to choose and use the proper mask and when to wear it?

Why isn't there a push to make air quality standards?

We're missing so many opportunities to do this better. Ignoring the problem doesn't make it disappear.

This week's #COVID19WeatherReport shows #variant trends and rising #wastewater levels - higher than this time 2020. #Hospitalizations are rising. #LongCovid is problematic.

We must change our habits to slow the spread! #QualityMasks #StayHomeSick #Ventilate #COVIDisAirborne #LayersOfProtection #N95 #KN95 #KF94 #Filtrate #CovidIsNotOver #RSV #Flu
