Remember the "Swiss Cheese" approach to #Covid risk?
The world has gone completely non-dairy.

Masks work. Here are 50 sources to prove it.

Masks Work. Distorting Science to Dispute the Evidence Doesn’t.
New mask studies relying on a medical paradigm do not erase decades of engineering and occupational science that show they work.

Re-worded my webpage for my public reopening, taking a FIRM stand on mask-wearing.
Most businesses in my field of #massage are doing the opposite right now… 😬
I #N95 #mask in every session so I can protect my most vulnerable clients.
I wrote if wearing a procedure mask (which I will provide) or better (you can bring an N95or KN95 from home!) is an issue for you, then we are NOT a good match as therapist/client.
As Walter Sobchak (almost) said: ACROSS THIS LINE, YOU DO NOT CROSS.
This afternoon was the start of the weekly exercise program for employees in my workplace.
I am the only one with an #N95 mask on while exercising. 💯
People who say that masking during exercise can make you "more tired" is misinformed. If you use an appropriate and comfortable mask such as the 3M Vflex or 3M Aura or any N95 that is breathable, you can stay #CovidSafe during workouts. 😊

I put on a jacket last night that I hadn’t worn for so long it had a cloth mask in the inside pocket.
Were we ever so young
Found the unicorn of dentists - in my small town:
- COVID safe to the absolute max. ✅
- Medical trauma informed. ✅
- Autism awareness without infantilism. ✅
Also respected my wish for extraction rather than repair. ✅
And my partner was able to be there with me literally "in my corner", I could see them, quietly "being there" for me. 💜
So, here's to self-advocacy and speaking up, calmly, even when you're body and mind are broiling with "all the things".
#Unmasking the science: Studies find that #N95-masks provide no statistically significant protection against #covid-transmission https://persecution-live.org/2022/12/08/unmasking-the-science-studies-find-that-n95-masks-provide-no-statistically-significant-protection-against-covid-transmission/
Wow. I just looked at the NC state health dept. website, which has a chart showing covid particles in the wastewater -- and it's crazy. It has zoomed up -- nearly quadrupled -- since Dec 21. The level is approaching where it was a year ago, which was an extreme peak. From the looks of a different chart, it appears the BQ and XBB variants are taking over.

To more successfully #BringBackMasks, let's expend more effort understanding & addressing the individual/collective behavioral factors & functional aspects (beyond limiting viral transmission) impacting their use. 4/

Here's a modeling exercise demonstrating the impact of mask wearing on a plane, intercity bus, and elementary school classroom (relative to BA.5). 3/

Yet no mandates for masks on planes or other public transportation. If we don’t make some changes in year 4 of the pandemic, the start of year 5 may look the same (or worse). 2/

The Disregard of Mask Wearing (w/ apologies to Bonham & their 1989 album, The Disregard of Time Keeping)
"As something highly visible that we adorn our bodies with, the choice of whether or not to wear a mask, the type of mask worn, how it’s being worn, where it’s being worn, along with any symbols, decorations, or patterns emblazoned on the mask, can all encode information and signal meaningful social cues, like social identity."

The Disregard of Mask Wearing (w/ apologies to Bonham & their 1989 album, The Disregard of Time Keeping)
Reducing the collective disregard of mask wearing likely requires that we better understand & address the social/cultural meanings associated w/ mask wearing as well as the impact of mask wearing on communication, verbal & non-verbal.
