A friend and (diff day) a group of strangers made me cry in a good way this week:

They saw me in a mask and put on masks without making it my problem or making me feel awkward or asking if I wanted them to. The friend was outdoors and put on a mask before I even saw them coming. I didn't realize they don't always wear masks outside now, but they've never made it my problem at all. The strangers simply put on masks and passed a mask to the 1 person there who didn't have one.

Canada is on the verge of adopting a national standard requiring N95s in healthcare—and your voice can help make it happen.

This proposed CSA standard would:

- Require N95s (or equally protective alternatives) for all healthcare workers, patients, and visitors.
- Protect the most vulnerable.
- Set a historic global precedent for clean air in healthcare.

Hey! Heard about what's going on in Honduras lately? I bet you haven't seen it on the news! Why? Cause the socialists are running the place, and they're popular. Right now, they've got a PUBLIC HEALTH MASK MANDATE going on! We CAN have nice things. #WearAMask #maskup #CovidIsNotOver #socialismhttps://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/honduras-mandates-face-masks-again-respiratory-illnesses-spike-2025-07-25/

Driving with a case of COVID raised the odds of having a car crash about as much as being at the legal threshold of DUI or running a red light, according to an analysis of pandemic-era public health and transportation records from seven states.
