Most studies found that face #masks are beneficial against viral respiratory infections, such as #COVID-19
Mask efficacy depends on the material, layers, fitting on the face, and user compliance
#N95 respirators had maximum efficacy, especially when used continuously

The straps of the goggles + the head strap of the #GVS are always a puzzle to calmly solve whenever I have to take off my mask for a second :') Figure out which straps are over which, fix it if need be, put everything back in and fix it again, then BREATHE again, ah.
So I just end up cutting my hair to a pixie, basically every time before flying, for convenience. Kinda sucks, but it makes a world of difference on the day.

âWhile I believe that we should be taking public health measures to protect marginalized and vulnerable people in all settings, healthcare settings, of all places, should prioritize the health of medically vulnerable people.â

We have a choice to make.
1. Work towards a society prepared for pandemics like SARS-CoV-2 by developing infrastructure & behaviour consistent with reducing transmission with the goal of minimising social and economic disruption (with possible collateral benefits)
2. Push for the pre-pandemic status quo and leave us a vulnerable as we were, scrambling for PPE and forced to limit gatherings and close businesses for prolonged periods.

Five weeks into national Kraken XBB.1.5 wave, all regions are majority Kraken. XBB.1.5.3 (not shown) is leading subvariant: ~2% of XBB.1.5 samples.
Even Orthus CH.1.1âadded to chart four weeks agoâfalling from plateau.
Cerebrus BQ.1.1 still one in ten samples.

Given preliminary excess deaths estimates, year thru mid-Jan saw one in four excess deaths as due to causes other than acute covid.
That's sudden & not-so-sudden deaths due to post-acute sequelae plus otherâonce preventableâdeaths due to understaffed hospitals.
[Note: CDC has yet to release this week's covid death count.]

âĄď¸ Please consider boosting; remember on Mastodon there's no algorithm and 'liking' is only seen by the author
âĄď¸ The best mask is an N95, but all masks work
âĄď¸ Double masking or overmasking
âĄď¸ FAQs are:
â Does it make a difference?
â Which mask should go on top, the cloth mask or the medical mask?
â What about two cloth masks?
â Or two medical masks?
