I can't find high enough praise for this article today in The Tyee (on Fedi: @thetyee) https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2026/03/27/Human-Cost-Failing-Name-COVID-Airborne/

How is it possible for hospitals, nursing homes and other health-care employers to allow respiratory PPE that doesn’t fit the legal standard previously set for protecting workers against an airborne hazard?

Simple. They just fail to explicitly state the virus is airborne.

Safety laws are being sidestepped. One doctor’s nightmare shows how health-care workers pay the price.

@datum @thetyee Thanks for this. Exceptional consolidation of the things many of us have been shouting about for half a decade in a single, clearly written, storytelling-leveraging piece. This deserves the highest of Canadian awards for the medium.
