"Before the vaccine was required, the virus was becoming more concentrated in saliva and easier to spread to #VulnerablePopulations” https://noc.social/@CaulfieldTim/111026217528781745

Random act of #COVID19 preparedness awareness. #Winter is at our footstep, so here are some preventative suggestions for the #MastodonCommunity
1) Get your #COVIDbivalentVaccine if you got #modernavaccine then get #PfizerBioNTech and vice-versa
2) #Maskup wherever you go indoors, #viralloads have dramatically increased use #N95 or #KN95 masks, packaging needs to show country of origin, #ASTM standard, address of manufacturer. No KN or N respirator is or will be #FDA or #HealthCanada approved

#IDmastodon #Longcovid to the eyes who seek .MGD and ocular surface staining are more common & severe in #postCOVID19 patients. Patients with higher #viralloads have greater risks of ocular surface symptoms. Patients requiring supplementary oxygen are more likely to show tear film instability. Ocular surface evaluation should be considered 1–3 months following hospital discharge for any #COVID 19 patient. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9111848/ @NIH
