#COVIDisAirborne

…as of April 17th, 2025, Public Health Ontario is reporting 925 measles cases in the province, more than five times the number of cases than the total number of cases over the last 12 years. Encouraging a vaccine-only strategy is insufficient due to barriers to access, and because measles spreads not only through direct contact with secretions or contaminated surfaces, but through the air we breathe.

Imagine if instead of banning employees from masking, huge corporations like Starbucks would offer paid time off, clean the air and encourage customers to mask up. They could even provide free respirators at the door.

Their employees would be healthier, happier and more productive.

We need public health campaigns on how to prevent COVID infections (respirators & clean air!) as well as who can get Long COVID & how it presents.

Stigma, denial & misinformation are leading folks to think that Long COVID is rare. That they don’t know anyone impacted by the condition.

They’re wrong: https://www.disabledginger.com/p/i-dont-know-anyone-with-long-covid

Whenever RFK Jr and Dr Oz ramble on about how most American kids aren’t healthy enough to serve in the military… ask yourself why they never talk about Covid?

If they truly wanted to improve health, we would have clean air, paid time off, free respirators and masks in healthcare.

Had a mail service person at the door with something to be signed and sent back out. Asked how they were while they waited just outside the open door. "I'm sick." Sick earlier in the month, made to come back to work while still sick. Back to work going from office to office. Glad our door opens directly to the outside, and that I'm wearing my elastomeric mask, as always. What are we doing, geez.

Why can’t we have this? In all public buildings/areas where people congregate. Publicly shared information on the quality of publicly shared air.

There’s a kind of loneliness that comes from being unable to live in denial

When you know that Covid isn’t over, you have to watch as others risk their lives & the lives of others

When you’re disabled, you have to live with knowing the medical system can’t help you

The comfortable lies are gone, and the knowledge can be isolating.

Covid Outbreaks Are Still Happening Even As We Hear Less On The Media

In & Out Burger was the first fast food chain to force employees to get a doctors note to be able to mask.

Panda Express followed & now we’re hearing that Starbucks may enact a similar rule.

If you stopped masking, you made this easier. We need visibility. We need to normalize masks.

Kristi Noem had her bag, purse, 3K in cash (who walks around with 3K in cash?) and more stolen in a DC restaurant.

The news outlets covering it are claiming the thief was wearing a medical mask.

The fascists will 100% use this as an excuse to enact more mask bans.

We saw it in NYC after Luigi Mangione’s arrest. It reignited the mayor’s desire to ban masks.

If you stopped masking, we need you to start again. Normalize them as a public health tool.

The more people masking, the harder they will be to ban.

Mask bans are discriminatory, ableist ugly laws that harm the most vulnerable among us.

There’s also no evidence they stop or deter crime.

One of the best ways you can help disabled people and fight fascism is by wearing a mask.

Representation and visibility matter. When you wear a mask you tell us you care about making public spaces safe & accessible.

You also make it harder for mask bans to pass.

Mask up. We need you

Texas and New York are currently trying to enact mask bans, even as measles cases sore and politicians adopt eugenicist mindsets that say it’s our “patriotic duty” to remain healthy.

You know what helps people stay healthy? Wearing a mask.

Don’t let them say medical exemptions are the answer:

New study by PolyBio shows significant biological changes after a Covid infection.

These changes can impact metabolic, vascular & immune system. They also found cancer associated epigenetic changes.

Well worth a read, and a good reminder to mask back up!

Using the Easter break to indulge in a guilty pleasure: catching up on “Jet lag: the game” during my spring cleaning.

It’s very comforting to see my nerdy YouTube hero from when I was a baby scientist, Tom Scott, masking up in public transport even though, according to him, he only had very mild symptoms when he caught COVID

If you want to fight fascism, ableism and eugenics while also protecting your health… the best thing you can do is wear a well fitted mask like an N95

They’re excellent at stopping the spread of Covid & other airborne diseases

Unsure how to choose one? Want to learn about mask blocs & fit testing?

I wrote all about respirators in the article below:

#N95 masks

Since the pandemic is officially over in the US with the CDC wastewater site going dark with ‘No data,’ the covid.gov website with a makeover, and NIOSH no longer certifying PPE, I decided to order a boatload of N95 masks to last the next several years. . .
