We're going to spend some time walking on a trail in a park with one other friend today. She usually doesn't mask, but she will today. I'm thinking if we all wear well-fitting #KN95 masks outside, it should be ok.

I'm not wrong, am I? Should we be wearing our better #N95 masks outside with her too?

While my mom was here, she masked up and respected my #CovidProtocols, and I only needed to remind or ask her a couple of times.

Considering my immediate family has totally abandoned masking, social distancing, and regular testing back home, I consider this a huge win for #CovidSafety.

Why? Because it tells me that a lot of people are willing to #MaskUp when asked and take #CovidPrecautions - but they've fallen into the #LetItRip trap and the #CovidIsOver narrative so they've given up precautions.

Is it exhausting, frustrating, and deeply upsetting when people fail to understand that we still need to #MaskUp on their own?

Yes.

Does it mean we stop having these conversations and give up all hope that people who have stopped masking will change?

No.

🧵 My mom who has dropped many #CovidPrecautions came to visit last week.

A while ago I shared how worried I was she wouldn't #MaskUp or test because I'm the only one in my immediate family still taking #Covid19 seriously.

Well, I can say that while it wasn't perfect - my moms visit reminded me how important conversations about #COVID with loved ones are - even when it feels like you're wasting your time.

Heads up, there's a 30% off sale today (8/25) only from Ambrust with code Summer-Surge-30. They carry many n95s (including the very breathable Gerson duckbills) and kn95s! #CovidIsNotOver #COVIDisAirborne #covidprecautions #MasksWork

Wow.

CEOs now have a Free Pass!

To take ZERO #CovidPrecautions to protect their employees from catching #Covid

"The California Supreme Court has ruled: If you catch Covid from work & then a family member dies from it, you can’t sue your employer."

Because... Inconvenience

!!!

There would be SO MANY...

It would jam up the system & it would come crashing to a stop.

So NO, they don't care about you or your family

So STAY SAFE OUT THERE!

#CovidSafeBusiness : #Dentists

Here a website that has a few listings for dental offices taking #CovidPrecautions as of 2022. I'd suggest you call and confirm that mitigations are still in place if you find a listing near your area.

#COVID #NoCovid

It has been very challenging to find #Covid safe hairstylists, doctors, dentists and other service people since the great unmasking.

I know there are a handful of directories which were started, but there are very few listings. We need to change this!

From now on, I'll happily promote businesses still taking #CovidPrecautions by continuing to require N95 masks, using filtration & ventilation to keep #CO2 levels at a safe level, & other mitigations to keep clients safe.

#CovidSafeBusiness

Article summarizing the status of mandating cleaner indoor air, as covid control but also other viruses, pollutants, allergens...

Potentially a *positive* legacy of covid: adding air quality monitors and standards to building codes.

Also would filter wildfire smoke and pollen, which climate change is increasing

Oh I forgot… My POTS doc? Not only did they require a mask in the office, they require it be a KN-95 or similar. It has to stay on the entire appointment. They use plexiglas between provider & patients except when necessary for hand on assessment, and request a few minutes’ space in the halls when leaving. I *SO* appreciate it!! #covidisstillhere #covidprecautions #spoonielife
