Doctor’s voices

“When you see someone wearing an N95 mask indoors, please don’t assume they are scared, vulnerable or sick. They might just be doing their best to decrease the overall burden of respiratory illnesses in our community.

More people masking = fewer people sick, hospitalized, or dead.”

Dr. Chuck Wurster, ER physician, #Alberta

I'd like to add that even a partial masking regime is better than nothing. You might make an exception for a bar or a party - because you perceive a benefit. But what's the point of catching and then spreading Covid in a supermarket or on a train?

@MartinFarrent schools
💯​

And employ targeted, #temporary #masking to reduce transmission.

For example - #Schools should require temporary masking for 10 days after students return from winter break.

People who believe in science are deeply offensive to anti-science primitives. They're going to lash out at visible signs of someone accepting science, and you cannot reason with them.

I had to explain this to my %+$&*-# son in law at a crowded event last night. Like, you're supposedly an adult, put 2 and 2 together.

@gemelliz After 2 years I cannot imagine a winter without one. They help keep me toasty warm during the winter months and Spring/Summer/Fall they kill my allergies without Benadryll!

Masks RULE!

@gemelliz I’m seriously considering printing out a T-shirt with this text. Perhaps it would save me from constantly being asked why the hell am I still wearing a mask. Very awkward to often be the only person around masked up and constantly being bullied with question. Or worse… are you sick?? They ask.

@gemelliz When i see someone wearing a mask of any sort, I assume they are meaning to protect themselves and/or others. Crazy, I know.

Indeed. 💯​

Imagine how brave a masked six old must be, seated all day in a classroom of unmasked classmates and facing an unmasked teacher.

Honestly I'm fine with people thinking I'm sick, hopefully they'll stay away from me.

@gemelliz I had several viral infections this winter that necessitated wearing a mask when I went our so I would not spread it to others. #masking #socialdistancing
