Answer: Because most #doctors who see patients all day know nothing about #COVID & even less about #longCOVID. They are ~17 years behind #scientists. If they were at all familiar with the #science they'd be wearing #respirators.

Also: my original idea wasn't quite so 3D but because I had to hand-cut the silk leaves from much larger leaves (variegated oak), I use a thin layer of clear nail polish to prevent fraying on the cotoneaster leaf edges.

While I left them after to cure/offgas for a couple of weeks, I realised adding them into the actual slipcover art using a manual button-stitching technique I learned years ago would ENSURE nothing nasty lingering on the leaves would be likely to come in through the filter media beneath the artwork.

Thank you for your compliments on this project! 🙂❤️

In this WHN Town Hall, Dr. Dick Zoutman explains why Canada’s new CSA respirator standard is so important. From COVID's toll and Long COVID risks to why N95s must be the default in healthcare, this standard could transform safety for patients, staff, and visitors.

Just read about the horrible treatment and state (or lack thereof) of protecting firefighters' wellbeing in the US.
More awareness is needed... Lungs need protecting!

Wildfire Fighters, Unmasked in Toxic Smoke, Are Getting Sick and Dying

The U.S. Forest Service has fought decades of efforts to better protect its crews — sending them into smoke without masks or warnings about the risks.

I'm very grateful for all who have spent time, energy, & mental tenacity to warn, to educate, to advocate, to "translate" the science of #AirbornePathogens & the importance of #IAQ & #CleanAir (+ #masks & #respirators). ✨ Also 🙏 for good PH comms, reliable data (lately?), & good data viz.

Does anyone know where sells #respirators in #Berlin?

I do a lot of stuff where an FFP2 disposable mask isn’t really good enough now, and want to be able to check the comfort and fit of a respirator before buying

And here's another 🧵 by @catinthehat.bsky.social also about the effectiveness of #masks / #respirators "fitted filtration efficiency of surgical masks vs N95 masks: 📍Surgical mask: 38.1% 📍N95 respirator: 98.5%" Full thread here: threadreaderapp.com/thread/17371...
