Remember when leaders ended public health measures claiming that they could always reinstate them when hospitals were overwhelmed again? Well, that’s happening now. Where are the mask mandates? Where is the urgency?

ASHRAE
Air ventilation, filtration, indoor airflow patterns, disinfection by germicidal ultraviolet light and other
technologies proven to be effective and safe

To think that we have such wealth to draw from, yet those in position to implement nationwide changes refuse to act, is something that profoundly disturbs me The scale of pain inflicted on Joe Public & the disregard for humanity's well being is staggering. I should've known better, there are precedents after all

Nice animation video explaining how NP95/FFP2 or FFP3 masks actually work - and why they protect from virus particles:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBJpvdZXxcs

I'm heartbroken that children are getting sick and Albertans don't care
As long as they don't have to wear a mask, they just don't fricking care

Belated introduction. #paediatric & adult #anaesthesist looking after sick kids at the Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne, amongst others.
Prior to this trained as a #virologist with an interest in #publichealth health (MPH). Developed an interest in mitigating virus transmission, specifically around risk of shared air.

So the game remains the same.

1. Avoid infection of a biohazard level 3 pathogen.

2. If already infected avoid as many infections as possible.

3.Wear n95+ respirators anytime you’re near other mouth breathers.

4. Ventilation+filtration (portable HEPA or PAPR)

5.Maintain your immune system with vitamins C,D, zinc, adequate sleep etc.

6. Survive long enough to watch these motherfuckers pay for mass infecting us and our children.

"literature brims with accounts of viruses and bacteria behaving strangely in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. ... Some researchers have speculated that a rash of fungal diseases that have plagued COVID patients may in part be due to depleted T cells. They are known to play a vital role in the adaptive immune response against fungal infections. 
There, too, has been an inexplicable rise in brain infections among children." #Leonardieffect

"scientists take the idea of immune suppression in the wake of COVID infections very seriously. A Public Health Ontario brief warned...that “...acquired impaired immunity... could have significant impact on the incidence... of infectious diseases ….& other conditions in the longer-term.” 
...Brendan Crabb, ...told Bloomberg that he’d be surprised if COVID didn’t have an effect on the infectiousness of other diseases given its documented impairment of the immune system in long COVID patients."

"Immune suppression from COVID could worsen symptoms for other pathogens; change the transmission behavior of other viruses and even create chronic carriers for different diseases.

So evidence grows that the “Leonardi Effect” is real."
