Not mandating masks for all visitors and staff around immune compromised patients is the equivalent of a surgeon not washing his hands between patients when operating or handling a wound area. #WearYourMask #airbornetransmission https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/health/face-coverings-should-be-mandatory-for-hospital-visitors-says-disability-rights-advocate/a1811014454.html

@clickhere @RasherMurphy I know Ireland, Northern Ireland and England have all removed their Covid App from active use; but I follow accounts like @COVID19IECharts and @covid_stats to see what’s really happening. The denial of Covid, lack of current vaccination, and total lack of focus on #WearYourMask is frightening. it’s dangerous now, as numbers are rising, and so are variants.

Même avec ce look et ce t-shirt, j'ai encore des collègues qui me demandent pourquoi je porte toujours un masque...

Yipes! 😳 Hope you feel better soon.

The only thing I don't/can't do anymore is #PhysicalDistancing. Seems a lot of people are already forgetting what a terrible thing #covid is.

Are you ready to slowly reenter civilization?

I wouldn't.

But you are your own person.

Today #selfcare looked like calling in sick, sleeping extra, taking kiddo to the doctor too.

What did it look like for you?

#Eat #DrinkWater #TakeYourMeds #WearYourMask

Here's the first sunrise of the year over #Yokohama. I have more photos to edit, but these are the first two I grabbed. I brought my Nikon 300mm f/2.8 and my Pentax 67 165mm f/2.8, and while I was hating myself for choosing a 15kg camera bag during the hike home, it was the right call.

Stay safe and #HappyNewYear

Immerhin habe ich jetzt endlich mal zeit, mich mit diesem „mastodon“ zu beschäftigen … #CovidIsNotOver 🤧 #WashYourHands 🙌 #WearYourMask 😷 #GetVaccinated 💉 #StayHomeIfYouAreSick 🏡 #CovidChristmas 🎄 #QuintupleVaccinated

Over 30 countries, 5 continents, over 100K cases analyzed. What they found ( preprint) :

"Interpretation COVID-19 containment measures were associated with a sustained decrease in the incidence of invasive disease caused by S pneumoniae, H influenzae and N meningitidis during the first two years of the pandemic, but cases began to increase in some countries as pandemic restrictions were lifted."

Over 3500 people with long Covid have died in the US in 2.5 years. Although more women then men get LC, more men die from it, the bulk of which were over 75. So it's not just disabling.

Long covid can be deadly, new CDC study finds - The Washington Post

This past weekend, we got away together for a day for the first time since 2014…#Montreal! Our home away from home. ❤️
And it was a lovely day (despite getting lost trying to find an elusive #GlutenFree bakery…tired people shouldn’t be trying to navigate!). 🥰

Being courageous to stand out wearing #N95s is bad ass.

Remember - #MaskingUp is a sign of
intelligence, independent critical thinking, AND care for other humans.

Keep leading. Keep standing strong.

It's important to stop the spread of #covid rather than just relying on vaccinations to stop mortality which is what our govts doing now . PH entities are assuming #covid won't become more virulent, and they are wrong to make that assumption, see study. Endemicity will result in hundreds of thousands of deaths yearly, as well as ⬆️ disability. #covid19 #covidisairborne #WearYourMask #MaskUp

"Our study suggests that prior COVID-19 infection, but not acute infection, is correlated with a risk for stroke in the pediatric population. The risk for stroke appears to be distinct from the risk for MIS-C."
Why are we allowing this to happen to our children? Why are we not protecting them?

Numbers are rising again as people gather for the holidays. People get relaxed, ignore warnings and throw caution out.

Everyone's sooooo into having fun. 🙄
Fun is overrated. Ask a monk.

Hopefully it doesn't get too bad.
It's hard to avoid germs.
But try anyway.

#WashYourHands #WearYourMask #PhysicalDistancing
#GetVaccinated if you can.
#MinimizeChancesOfExposure

Ever experienced not being able to breathe? Losing a loved one?
It's not fun.
Don't go there.

@sigsegv
Yes, that was a real concern and the reason our authorities said we had to implement varying levels of #CommunityQuarantine months ago -- because the hospitals would not be able to handle it.

Stories of people not being able to get treatment in hospitals. My friend's elderly dad-in-law stayed at a hospital >80kms from home because there was no room at their city hospitals.

Don't let that happen. 🙏
