At the bare minimum, you should be masking in healthcare settings where the most vulnerable can access safe care. And before any argument not in favor of masking is waged, clean air initiatives must be implemented to mitigate against Covid.

If you could see yourself spreading Covid when you are contagious, and if you could see if you are in a room with a immunocompromised person, would you spread Covid so freely? If the answer is no, then why are you so willing to spread it blindly? youtu.be/rZE-ZgkRCqA?...

Covid PSA illustrates that Covid is airborne, spread by air even though you can't see it, and shows impacts of masking.

ā€œPlacing HEPA air filters into classrooms in the Bradford area of the UK reduced the number of covid-19-related absences among students by more than 20 per centā€ Clean air works. Why are we not doing this more?

Schools cut covid-19 sick days by 20 per cent using HEPA air filters

The eagerly awaited finding comes from the first randomised trial of putting HEPA filter machines into classrooms

Cleaning the air with filtration, disinfection and ventilation is also good for overall cognition. A remarkably easy to come by win/win that we arenā€™t taking for no good reason. Reposting this gem too. Letā€™s get the lead out and fix this easily improvable situation. youtu.be/eAdanPfQdCA?...

All are needed to meaningfully reduce transmission. The most powerful stand-alone option for preventing transmission is masking with a n95. This is a fact that will not change until we get sterilizing vaccinesā€¦

Being vaccinated doesnā€™t absolve you from doing more. ā€œMoreā€ is low effort & high reward. Layered mitigations are our path out of SARS_CoV2 & all other airborne pathogens. There is no excuse for doing nothing. None of these mitigations replace the other. 1/3

Purple background with white text:
ā€œIf you donā€™t want to get vaccinated, wear a mask.
If you donā€™t want to wear a mask, filter and disinfect the air.
If you donā€™t want to filter and disinfect the air, ventilate the air.
If you donā€™t want to ventilate the air, gather outside.
Or be smart and do all of the above. You have no excuse to do none of the above.
And test yourself when sick, and stay home regardless.ā€
