Higher doses of SarsCov2 at exposure correlate with higher viral loads and severe symptoms in animals.
The more virus you are exposed to the more severe your disease. (HINT: masks work to lower viral loads)
“‘It is literally, actively killing me that people don’t mask. No one cares.’
Tinu died less than two months later. She spent her final days sounding the alarm, pleading for healthcare staff to take her safety seriously.
I fight for you, Tinu. I miss you.”
“Why are the Marines wearing masks while practicing drills? The drill instructor as well? Because Long Covid is a disability that's a service connection for compensation if they get infected, while on contract? Video date Sept. 2024.”
“It doesn't get much more macho or conservative than the Marines. Nice of them to demonstrate even cotton masks reduce disease transmission in November 2024.
They require masks in Phase 1, because they have new recruits gathered together.”
“All personnel must wear a mask while indoors at the Branch Medical Clinic and the Branch Dental Clinic.
All Recruits must wear masks during Phase 1 of Recruit Training.”
“I politely asked her to wear it and told her I was immunocompromised. She rolled her eyes, held the mask in front of her face without actually putting it on. She leaned across me to hit the button, even though there was another set of buttons on the opposite side of the elevator. This felt like a deliberate attempt to violate my personal space and ensure I knew just how unhappy she was that I asked her to mask. As time went on and more people bought into the comfortable lie that COVID was over, it became harder to access safe medical care. Fewer and fewer staff were complying with mandates; eventually mandates were dropped altogether in favour of “mask-friendly” policies.”
study on COVID-19 in auditoriums found displacement ventilation minimized infection risk, while natural ventilation had highest spread.
Masks, shorter events, and lower occupancy helped reduce risks.
TRUTH:
“I have never had a non-white person act like they even notice my mask, let alone give me any sort of grief over it. This is 100% something only white people do.”
“Several Bay Area counties have reinstated mask mandates at health care facilities to coincide with the beginning of respiratory virus season.
Alameda, Contra Costa, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, along with the City of Berkeley, have all issued health orders requiring the use of face masks in health care settings starting on November 1 and continuing through March 31, 2025.”
“And that’s a wrap on my 17-event 2024 wedding season for VCV Entertainment.
A summary of what my experience has been as a Covid aware wedding and event DJ using #faruvc, air purifiers, and being the only one wearing a mask in every room I perform in. “
“Stanford healthcare masking requirement to start November 1st.
We are seeing a lot of upper respiratory symptoms starting already in urgent cares.”
“A Plea to Maskless Healthcare Workers from Vulnerable Patients If you see a mask - wear a mask. Better yet - wear a mask all the time and show us you understand that we're still IN a pandemic. We are depending on you to keep us safe - please don't betray that.”
“Just so people reading this know:
When you have covid, you exhale covid particles into the air. Even with just ordinary breathing.
Those particles can then float on the air for hours.”
“How is COVID-19 spread? When people cough, sneeze or talk, viral particles can be sent through the air and via droplets. Masking helps to prevent droplet spread, and keeping more than two metres apart and staying in a well-ventilated area can help to limit aerosol spread.
While not a predominant cause of transmission, COVID-19 can also be spread through objects contaminated with secretions from an infected person. The incubation period for COVID-19 — the time from exposure to developing an infection — is about two to four days with the current variant.”
“Airborne routes predominated with a relative contribution of more than 88.0 %. • Wearing mask only for staff can reduce the infection risk by 12.8 %−31.8 %. • A ventilation rate of 30.0 m³ /(h·person) reduced long-range airborne risk by 62.9 %.”
“A partial masking mandate has returned to Nova Scotia hospitals and provincially run healthcare facilities for visitors and healthcare workers. "This is for anybody who is in clinical areas in the hospitals, inpatient units and clinics where we are providing direct patient care,”
