Once again imploring you, at least if you're going into crowds, to wear a well-fitting respirator. The airborne illnesses that are felling Blue Jays fans as I type are no joke. The air quality at Rogers Centre is shockingly bad. Airborne viruses can kill and disable even the "healthy".

If you’re going to the Skydome tonight, wearing a decent mask isn’t a bad idea.
No shortage of illness ripping through the Jays’ fan base right now.

COVID levels remain steady at low to moderate levels in most areas.
Wearing an N95 or equivalent in public indoor spaces is highly recommended as flu and RSV are rejoining the party.
Be smart. Be safe. Be you.

Yes.
Yes kids should be wearing masks in schools and being given cleaner air.
Those masks should be comfy and cheap.
Why?
Because kids are getting sick with a disease that we know very little about, and what we do know, is looking problematic.

Even if this is "the flu" (v unlikely as Influenza levels are v low in ON), it's still a BAD virus.

I would rather be wrong than sorry. Wearing a mask works. It protects you and them. If you're sick and have to go out, Wear a fkn mask. I do. 24/7 For me it's my quality of life. I can't get sick. Where every breath counts. So far, so good. Touch wood #MasksWork #COPD
At a minimum, please consider wearing a good mask like an N95 on airplanes and in healthcare settings. Now basically no one is, which is deeply dystopian and troubling. COVID is still out there and causing subclinical damage.
It’s just basic facts. Basic science. Basic compassion for others.

Two opthalmologists & one ID fellow suggested *ocular* transmission likely
One way masking is approx 70% effective
I continue to mask indoors regardless of my sole breakthrough Covid infection
Masking prevented transmission to my non-masking, stage 4 COPD mom, whom I live-in care for

Still haven't had #COVID19, ever.
(It's conceivable that I've been asymptomatic, but given how sensitive my immune system normally is and that I still test, rather unlikely.)
It's almost as if #MasksWork and it didn't have to be "inevitable"? 🤷
