Be careful out there 🇨🇦. The mood has shifted, and the 6th wave is poised to catch us by surprise due to:
1) fatigue
2) complacency
3) feelings of invincibility after previous infection
4) >50% will remove masks
5) vibe of "it's over" = more indoor risk taking
6) waning immunity
Yesterday I called my doctor and said I was testing negative for covid and thought I might have the flu and she said there is no flu in August, test again for covid tomorrow.
Guess what? I have covid.
There are NUMEROUS examples of hospital patients who can't protect their airways from unmasked staff/visitors/patients:
- eating/drinking
- sedated
- undergoing a procedure
- on oxygen
- special needs
- etc etc
Q100 should be mandatory for everyone in THE BUILDING.
Because
@canadastrong
I don't go to hospitals, and so I don't really mind either way. But the 'two-way is better' crap should stop, one-way can be made more than good enough, and the vast majority of people catching COVID surely don't even one-way mask?
The best mask is the one you can tolerate and use regularly.
The earloop KN95 mask your spouse will actually wear is better than the head strap N95 mask that stays in their pocket.
Six-point seatbelts are better, but cars have three-point seatbelts for a reason- because
Let's be honest, masking in healthcare is only "politically difficult."
Sick patients are in hospital for treatment.
Shielding them from hospital-acquired infectious disease is a TOP PRIORITY. 😷
Hi! Please turn on twitter notifications for us so you don't miss when products go back in-stock. We are getting stock daily of various masks and putting them live mainly between 9-11am ET. Unfortunately they sell out within minutes.

Hey
@fordnation
, how about a respirator mandate?
KN95 or better.
Let's put our Ontario factories to work, and keep our economy open with masks. Win-win.
TELL YOUR FAMILY: If going for a Pfizer/Moderna vaccine in Canada,
TRIPLE check that it's the new XBB monovalent version for 2023-24.
NOT the bivalent version that's outdated and still floating around.
#vaccine
#XBB
Canada has made Covid-19 vaccines convoluted. In the US, FDA de-authorized OG + bivalent versions, we have yet to do so. We will be seeing many reports of incorrect vaccines being administered.
There also aren't clear guidelines re: primary doses with XBB for those above age 5.
Ask your doctor if clean air is right for you.
Warning: may cause alertness, good memory recall, lack of respiratory illness, feelings of good health, positivity, and productivity.

Mandatory masking in healthcare FOREVER is low hanging fruit.
All the big man-babies need to suck it up.
Respiratory illnesses are here to stay.
Masks work for source control, and fitted respirators filter in both directions.

It's time to come out and say it.
Q100 respirators should be MANDATORY in Canadian hospitals.
First, we need to understand why the Q100 is a game changer:
🇨🇦 Earloop convenience
🇨🇦 Four sizes
🇨🇦 CSA Certified
🇨🇦 Super breathable
🇨🇦 Made in 🇨🇦
Second, let's examine the WHY:
A cross-Canada shortage of teachers is hitting a crisis level, experts warn, and while some COVID-era stopgap measures are being reintroduced, they say more sustainable solutions are needed. .
"We may give somebody a powerful medication that takes away their entire immune system and then in order to get medical care, they have to go to a hospital where they sit next to people that are unmasked that could give them a disease that could kill them"
We only source from the official 3M Canada distribution channel, to ensure product authenticity.
It's too easy for bad actors to counterfeit on Amazon.
This is one of the reasons I favor getting respirators from

The Canadian team is playing FREAKING OLYMPIC HOCKEY in face masks. I never want to hear another dude bro complain about having to wear one in the grocery store ever again.
Chinese-Canadians are some of the most conscientious maskers I've encountered.
Even before the pandemic, masking was the right thing to do when feeling unwell in public.
@canadastrong
It depends a lot on the details. The full current program is likely $10-15M per year. But it could be adjusted depending on the panel of viruses, frequency of sampling, how much sequencing is done, etc.

We would be a kinder society if we started masking whenever sick in public.
“It is a layer of protection. We hope people have developed the habit to be able to use masks as needed during the respiratory virus season, not just for COVID, but for all the other respiratory
Visited a small town Ontario pharmacy today.
Cashier told me 3 colleagues are out with Cov1d.
"Symptoms worse than the other ones" her colleague told her.
@DFisman
Admitting aerosol spread results in provincial costs skyrocketing.
-Respirators instead of surgical masks.
-Investments in ventilation and filtration
-Reducing class sizes.
#COVIDisAirborne
To prepare for the next big pandemic (without lockdowns), world leaders should be planning for a domestic supply of N95's.
5 per week, per citizen.
It requires each country to build local factories to make mask and all source materials.
The extreme nature of the supply chain

Cigarette smoke is the perfect explanatory tool for an otherwise complex phenomenon.

-It accumulates over time in a room, and lingers.

Introducing the new 🇨🇦 made BreatheTeq KN95's, exclusively from Canada Strong.
These are the most breathable Canadian KN95 respirator mask ever. They're 40% more breathable than our popular CA-N95.
#BringBackMasks
@lisa_iannattone
KN95 should be the new default mask for HCW, with surgical N95 on-hand for higher risk situations.
Leaky surgical masks are cheap but insufficient. They need to be abandoned.
@DFisman
This govt may react too slowly for political reasons.
But thoughtful, compassionate people can keep masking, and gently encourage others.
Let's lead by example and make masking commonplace again.

XBB.1.5 is a new home-grown variant from the northeast that threatens all of North America. Will you be conducting pre-departure XBB.1.5 testing and mandatory masking on domestic flights from the northeast?

@PublicHealthON
Flat fold respirators are more comfortable, more breathable, and offer better protection than cloth/surgical.
Please update your "facts".
New preprint confirms what every parent suspected:
"Children aged 10 to 19y played the greatest relative role in propagating Omicron epidemics, particularly when schools were open, followed by children aged 0 to 9y"
Visited a Niagara Falls, NY shopping mall yesterday. Was pleased to see 6 employees still masking among the four stores I visited.
All Gen Z.
Each marching to their own drumbeat.
If you think you're the only one masking, you are definitely not alone! 😷
@BogochIsaac
Wide use of KN95's would squash waves AND significantly reduce personal risk.
Not all masks are equal.
(Yes yes N95/P100 is best but to get the majority onboard, we need to be pushing comfortable & convenient earloop KN95.)

#COVIDIsAirborne
Friends.
EDs 🏥 are swamped over the holidays. Lots of viruses about this year.
1) prevent them (💉😷💨);
2) if you get one the best place to go is stay home and treat your symptoms. If it’s not an emergency, pls don’t bring your virus there.
Dentists: looking to grow?
The COVID-conscious will come from FAR AND WIDE if they know your air is safe.
✅ HEPA or CR in every room
✅ Respirators on all staff
(check out our Q100 for dental work! earloop convenience, super breathable, CSA certified)
My dentist has gained 40-50 new patients from my referrals. There is months-long wait the single exam room. And probably less than 50% of the Covid-safe folks I know see her. I’ve also had 5 patients switch to her husband’s vet practice as he also wears a respirator. 💸💸💸

Want to convince your boss to make meetings safer? Try this angle:

7% of Canadians who catch COVID in the hospital, die.
For a country who believes in healthcare for all, shouldn't we be trying to make hospitals a safer place to get care?
