Hey #CovidCautious Mastodon, sagt mal eure Tipps für zuverlässige Masken (FFP2 oder FFP3) mit senkrechtem Mittelfalz!
Suche fürs nahe Umfeld nach Ersatz für das offenbar nicht mehr hergestellte Modell RM 100 von Medisana (FFP2). Besonders gern gesehen sind Empfehlungen für Masken, die auch großen Nasen passen.
Bad year for the #Flu
The #H3N2 #SubcladeK has mutations that may evade the immunity that the #FluVaccine gives
🇺🇸 The US has reported the strain in 20 states
🇯🇵 Japan has declared an #InfluenzaEpidemic
🇪🇸 Spain has recommended #Mask mandates
🇬🇧 UK is "facing it's worst winter yet"
🇨🇦 Canada issued a warning about the vaccine mismatch
When you see warnings for people w/ immunity, cardiac, lung, etc. issues, remember if you've ever had #Covid, that's probably you.

WHY PROGRESSIVES AND LEFTISTS NEEDED TO WEAR A MASK SINCE YESTERDAY
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bl0DsT8khogQ_TOOYjBlor8TBj7N6A72dDwL2sLQRzs/edit?tab=t.0
I can now say, year four into the C19 pandemic, that I’ve had enough conversations with supposed progressives and revolutionaries about the importance of masking. Person after person, always the same talking points, always the same polite concern followed with dismissal and apathy. I am one of many who are tired of people not being honest with themselves and not committing to their claimed values. These conversations have become so repetitive, so artificial that I resort to typing my own automatic response to common talking points rather than wasting my time doing one-on-one. It should concern all anti-capitalists that, when confronted about masking and accessibility, visibly fall back on the same replies as right-wingers. While the latter may sound more crude and unapologetic, the premises are identical.
It is crucial to self-reflect on one’s own actions and whether they align with one’s values, because so many have tolerated cognitive dissonances and let them translate into material harm. Some have chosen it knowingly, which begs the question of how serious an individual is about the human rights and liberation of all peoples.
1. But we are social creatures, we have to see each other’s faces. Many essential settings don’t carry a social cost to wearing a mask, namely places like malls, grocery shops, public transit, pharmacies, movie theaters, concerts, conferences and clinics. A vast majority of activities can be carried out with a mask across the face. It makes sense to become a link in the chain to block transmission wherever possible, to protect the wellbeing of performers and workers. Any human being is vulnerable to Covid-19, some are simply more vulnerable, but this virus and its long-term effects don’t discriminate.

If you're in Canada and are willing to wear respirators (aka N95 masks) but can't afford them, reach out and I'll help you get some, gratis. 
I'm glad you recognize the threat and I want nothing more than for you to be well-protected. 💪
Let me take 
one step further:
If you're still wearing procedure masks¹ you'd be willing to swap for respirators² that you can't afford or otherwise access, I'll buy a bunch of them from you for what you paid AND I'll make sure you get an equal number of respirators for the low, low price of $0.

ACTION ALERT 📣 BC is falling behind in protecting patients, healthcare workers, and our healthcare system. As we enter fall and winter, Newfoundland, Labrador, PEI, and major Quebec and Ontario hospitals have already restored mask requirements in medical settings – yet so far, BC has failed to take action.
Instead of masks in healthcare, BC has:
🏥 increasing hospital & ER closures (over 250 so far this year)
🚨 expert warnings about the possibility of the "worst kind of flu season”, due to a mismatch between the current vaccine and an emerging dominant strain
🦠 a global surge of COVID-19
🐓 a rise in avian influenza outbreaks
☣️ increased measles exposures in BC, coupled with the loss of Canada’s measles elimination status 😭😭😭
It’s past time for action. Head to https://donoharmbc.ca/masks-in-healthcare/ to join our renewed calls for BC to restore healthcare mask protections ASAP - and to improve them by closing loopholes and making respirators (like N95 masks) the default choice 😷

Remembering these words from the now late Alice Wong today: “When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don’t care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.”
