Complexities of having partial cognitive dissonance around covid 🧵
Someone who is covid aware but chooses to only take occasional mitigations invited me to an event that includes a dinner, and suggested that the people I’m sat next to do a pluslife test.

Experts Call For N95s Over Surgical Masks As Flu, Covid Viruses Spread
World Health Network experts urge WHO to make N95, KN95, or FFP2 respirators the standard for protection for healthcare workers, not inferior surgical masks.

11. These three factors: lack of triggering the human disgust mechanism, inability to be generalised, and lack of widespread understanding of sequelae of infection all contribute to the societal denial of the dangers of Covid-19.

Hang one of these on your door to tell everyone to #MaskUp before they come in!
It's especially handy for hospitals or medical offices that don't require staff to wear them at all times (most of them lately 😡), or any other space you want to be more #COVID safe. ⬇️

Excellent presentation that should be a compulsory watch for every healthcare professional (and beyond)!
Doctors: we've accepted too many myths about Covid.
My presentation explains why - and gives you the science you're missing.

Just in case anyone is reading any covid-related documents and clicks the link to the now famous HSE RR619 "Evaluating the protection afforded by surgical masks" they will now get a broken link (404).
HSE have shuffled it out of the way.

1. I am of the firm belief that it is now impossible to get H5N1 out of the ecosystem of North America. Bluntly put, there is now simply too much virus present in wild birds and mammals to be able to contain it. There are also likely many more human cases than reported.
