Why is wearing an N95 so effective, and wearing a blue surgical mask not very effective? Physics!

There’s a significant difference between a mask and a respirator. A surgical mask is just fancy fabric that catches, well, spit. An N95 has an electrostatic charge that grabs particles and holds them. Think about rubbing a balloon on your head and watching your hair stick to it. That’s the science working to keep viruses out of your lungs when you breathe, instead of letting them waltz right in.

We need those who claim to be "left" to stop punching down on the disabled, covid cautious and immune compromised.

Masking is resistance.
It's community care.

The ruling class wants you sick and weak so you won't fight back.

Healthcare is being gutted.

There's never been a better time to mask

If you're still masking to avoid COVID(and other things), thank you! If you stopped, and you're able to wear a mask, now is a fantastic time to start again with Christmas events coming up and more crowds etc. COVID isn't over, and masking is a great way to not only protect yourself, but also others. Masking is a simple, visible way to show community care.

The COVID-19 iceberg.

These numbers are just the tip of the iceberg. Reported cases only show a fraction of what’s really out there, but they still give us some sense of what’s going on.

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 😷
