I wonder sometimes how many people won't mask bc they think they're "too good looking" for it... I remember a barista telling me something to that effect, and I totally get it-- having a nice face has its advantages, something valuable especially if you're not so nice or smart. #PPE #FAFO #MaskUp

See through reusable mask. 🤩
This looks very interesting! 😷

Hi, just wanted to let people know that normal glasses are not #PPE! Please wear #safety glasses, splash goggles, ext over your normal eye glasses when appropriate!

OSHA has published a notice of proposed rulemaking to clarify the personal protective equipment, #PPE, standard for the #construction industry.

Currently, the PPE standard for the construction industry, unlike for general industry or maritime, does not state clearly that PPE must fit each affected employee properly. OSHA’s proposed change would clarify that PPE must fit each employee properly to protect them from occupational hazards. #OccEnvMed

That “nationally” is doing a lot of work there. If only one hospital had #PPE, then “nationally”, the UK (or 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 & 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿?) did not completely run out?!? 😵‍💫

I’d think the common meaning would be opposite: a single hospital running out is a failure.

— ‘The hearing was told last week that some social care providers ran out of PPE despite Sir Christopher Wormald, permanent secretary at the Department of Health and Social Care, insisting that “we never nationally ran out of PPE”.’

New study links Canadian farms to 64 COVID-19 outbreaks in 2020, most tied to greenhouses due to high humidity and indoor crowding at a time when masks were not routinely being used.

Canadian farm workers were classified as Essential Workers. 32% of Ontario farm workers worked in greenhouses.

Apart from the fact only #ConcervativeParty members got to vote for #Sunak, which is its own kind of corruption, government handling of #COVID, from #PPE to these messages, is proof, if it were needed, the Tories are nothing more than a criminal enterprise. Withholding information from the enquiry is a ploy to protect their interests, not the publics.

I belive no-one is above the law & all should be treated equally but am have difficulty in understanding the 'Lawfare' instigated against the #Scottish #SNP when there is no such juidisprudence or MSM expose levelled against the multiply corrupt #Tories (incl #PPE #Michelle Monie, pole dancers #BorisJohson etc.).
Is this yet another institutional & MSM dark ops attack? If not why is there a law for one but not others? Can anyone explain please

"Masks don't work." - not so much, COMPARED WITH RESPIRATORS!

And of course, depending upon your definition of "work" and for what purpose...

But! Hear from the pros Dr. Mike Osterholm (#PublicHealth #InfectiousDisease) and Dr. Lisa Brosseau (#IndustrialHygiene) regarding recent research on it!

#WorldlinkResources won their #PPE contracts via referral “onto the VIP lane by fmr Cabinet Minister, Lord #Agnew.” Questions arise over PPE usefulness as well as the relationship btwn PPE contractors & #Tories, with “millions of the goggles procured under the £178m deal” likely ineffectual.

Michelle Mone's husband gifted Tories 'over £171k' as Covid #PPE row rumbles on https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/michelle-mones-husband-gifted-tories-28852964

Private Eye arrived a bit late for me due to postal strikes, but the first story bears repeating. Apologies if it’s old news.
Of the £12bn 🇬🇧 government spent on #PPE during Covid, £8.7bn has been written off!
Part of this is down to panic buying increasing prices - something that could have been avoided if Jeremy Hunt MP had taken action on the findings of Operation Cygnus, but 1/3 of kit bought was unusable, no doubt largely due to #UKConservatives VIP lane!

Further evidence in favour of ColdZyme protecting against covid. It's beyond me how these antiviral sprays are not recommended publicly.

For a vegan option (ColdZyme contains fish) e.g. Viruseptin (effective ingredient is iota-carrageenan, available as other brands too) is ALSO proven effective against covid. I hope they do even more research on that one as well.
