Which are you? You have to accept everything on the list. You can't pick and choose. Every time you get Covid you're passing that on to others and increase the surge. Some of those you infect will get long Covid and some may die.

"When all students are wearing N95 respirators, the infection risk could be reduced by 96 %..."
The solution to prevention has been there all along. Public health and infection control don't like it, so it is ignored.

This is outstanding, and hugely important. The culture of impunity in IPAC can literally kill you, because your life is less important than the hurt feelings of some asshat who memorized a bunch of misinformation about aerosols in medical school and hasn't learned anything since.
UK British Occupational Hygiene Society clarifies that surgical masks are not PPE, and following IPAC guidelines does NOT fulfill an employer’s legal duty to provide respiratory protection.

So Google's AI is so smart, it wouldn't let me submit a review using the term "⚽️🐓" when writing a review for a plumber, in which I was required to explain exactly what the plumber had done. 🤣🤦♀️

Hello @richardiiisociety.bsky.social
Been thinking about joining the Richard III society—especially since my sister used to park on his grave.
Feel the loss of a premium parking spot in the town center— very handy for shopping—should qualify us for free membership.
It was quite a sacrifice.

When didgently doing your job as a fact-checker means you have to Google "Can Zelensky play piano with his penis?" and you realize it's actually a thing. 🤣🤣🤣
Trump calls Zelensky a “dictator,” which usually, in Trump-think, should get him some love from our strong-man-fawning President. To get a little perspective on who is and who isn’t a dictator, read the little-known story of Putin’s first “election".

Every Trump news story makes sense when you preface the words "Donald Trump" with "Russian asset." It's long been known that this is the case. Now we even know his codename: ‘Krasnov’. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...
