Thanks for boxes and boxes of donated KN95 and N95 masks in all sizes. To give to families in #Ottawa that are trying to #MaskUp but can’t afford a mask. @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected], let’s distribute these!

@johnefrancis @[email protected] @ottaross You don't need to miss So Good -- I think it's still there. Under different ownership, but Peter made sure there would be continuity and they can still accommodate allergies etc like he did. Unless it's closed very recently?

This is a great resource, if anyone asks about the science behind masks and their use - thanks for compiling it, @[email protected]. It won’t sway people who are vehemently against the idea that we #BringBackMasks, but it will help people who want to learn more. https://billius27.substack.com/p/masks-evidence-and-use
The science behind masks and their use

Evidence for masks, why they work, which work best, how to use them, and when and where they are most needed.

Well then I think that went well: I think the account is gone. For anyone watching, that was an account on mstdn.ca with two misinformation posts about masks attacking Trustee Kaplan-Myrth, including in response to her post about bullying. Criticism and disagreement is fine, but bullying and harassment are not; how the fediverse handles this particular case will be my litmus test for how Mastodon compares to Twitter along that particular important axis.
