CW: Hantavirus / precautionary principle / airborne transmission
Useful open letter to the World Health Organisation from Trish Greenhalgh and colleagues, on the plausible risk of airborne #Hantavirus.
"The evidence supporting respiratory person-to-person transmission of ANDV is now substantial and comes from epidemiological, biological, and operational observations. ...
"Experimental evidence supports respiratory and salivary pathways of transmission. Yet we are unaware of any research which has examined aerosol shedding dynamics or the timing of contagiousness relative to symptom onset. ...
"There is also strong evidence that respirators provide greater protection than surgical masks for healthcare workers against respiratory infections when worn continuously indoors. ...
"Although efficient community transmission comparable to measles or SARS-CoV-2 has not been demonstrated, this is not justification for dismissing respiratory risk. ...
"WHO’s default recommendations for severe pathogens with respiratory transmission potential should begin from a precautionary airborne-risk framework — including respirators, ventilation optimisation, and portable HEPA filtration — and only be relaxed if evidence later demonstrates that such measures are unnecessary."

Nice article from 2025 on masking as community care, which I don't remember seeing at the time:

CW: "COVID Consciousness as a Subculture" - article from UMNIA
I read this article yesterday and I'm still musing on it. There's something I really like about the idea of framing our position & commitments as "a subculture". That rings true to me.
Some snippets from the article:
"the COVID Conscious community’s vision for the future lives in the ever-present now – without denial."
"This pragmatism allows for an actual future, not a fantasy future"
"we have an aesthetic ... we have shared resources, language and references"
"Referencing the past is essential, but copying it reflexively is unproductive."
"While solutions aren’t always easy, we believe they exist—whether it’s masking, clean air, COVID-safe events, or free testing and vaccinations, our resolve remains: we’re not giving up on a good future."
"this community spans drag kings, cartoonists and activists, musicians, rappers"
"We’re showing that there’s hope and liberation on the other side of a realistic risk assessment – and there’s no need to pick and choose safety based on the criteria set by capitalist forces."

CW: mask decoration shop! (not mine, just sharing)
"I started making mask chains in 2025 because I wanted my respirator to look like an intentional part of my outfit. I found that this increased my confidence when interacting with other people. I enjoyed making them so much that I decided to start selling them to raise money for Breathe Easy Sheffield, a volunteer-led organisation working to make indoor social and cultural spaces safer, more inclusive, and more accessible."

@nicolai @trendless an equivalent deal within Canada are KleenGuard N95 masks from Napa:
240 for $46 CAD + local pickup if desired.
https://www.napacanada.com/en/p/KBC53899
Note that these N95s are now discontinued. I'm very happy with them regardless, used them all over.
Sadly I can't find that $29 USD Amazon.com deal anymore.

Got my flu and COVID shots yesterday... kinda feeling a bit rough today, but to be expected.
It is utterly diabolical and downright evil that COVID boosters are not general populous free in the province of Quebec.
People WILL die over this. Keep masking ya'll.
BTW I got booster Pfizer Omicron LP.8.1

CW: covid-careful meetups, England
Yesterday I was enthusing to a friend about the "Breathe Easy" groups, and it's occurred to me I should enthuse here too!
"Do you enjoy going out and socialising, but feel cautious since the COVID-19 pandemic? Are you avoiding crowded and indoor venues? You are not alone! ...
"Breathe Easy Sheffield and Breathe Easy London are both small community groups hosting regular COVID-safer socials and other one-off events."
Recently I joined in for an online "watch the same event and then have a chat" with some folks from the Sheffield group, and enjoyed it. They also do in-person events about once a month, I just haven't been to one (yet) as it's out of town for me. Great to be able to swop useful info as well.

CW: mask cartoons which I like
I hope this doesn't sound too "best is the enemy of the good", but the people in the above poster are wearing the wrong kind of masks. Covid is airborne, so you want masks which are designed not to let air round the edges.
Here are some illustrations I like of the right kind, from Cas Marotta:

CW: covid-careful "Resilience Toolkit" events - Sheffield, Leeds, Bristol, London, Glasgow
"In these sessions, Nkem will offer an introduction to the Resilience Toolkit, focusing on embodied self-awareness as a foundation for liberatory relational and collective work. ...
"Together, participants will practise real-time regulation tools that harness the body’s innate biology to settle overactive and pdetrimental responses – reclaiming energy, creative flexibility, and connection to ourselves, one another, and our shared liberation. ...
"Masking is mandatory - we will have some spare masks available at the venue. Full COVID policy will be shared via email once you have registered."

Any recommendations where to buy 3M AFFM masks IN CANADA at non expensive prices? AFFM-3-DC-CA
UPC? 7100254980 or AFFM-5-CA.Canadian Tire is having a clearance sale, but it's more expensive for less masks vs ordering 9513s from China.
There are some regional alternatives:
- UPC 051131223868 in USA
(which is actually model AFFM-5-CA in Canada, super expensive tho), rebranded to 3M Filtering Barrier Face Covering (US models do exist otherwise)
- 9513 in China/SG/{SEA}, KN95
( PPEO.com has them, but their shipping is pricey China > Canada... ~$25 for 15 individual 9513s... )
- 9123, Australia, P2 rated, pack of 25s normally
( I found several surplus sale deals on these but sadly reshipping from AUS to Canada is SUPER expensive... the deals are good though, ~$200 AUD for 400 3M 9123 masks, exp 2027.; or $15AUD for 25 masks )
- 9013, here is a KF94/P2.5 model for Japan/South Korea/Thailand, but it seems possibly discontinued.
( Amazon.co.jp has it but only shipping within Japan, and the price is already higher than avg. https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B08Y93T1F5 )
I really like this style and fit for shorter indoor stuff, or for more spread out indoor events; far more comfortable to wear long term.
Thank you

I probably shouldn’t post about this… It’s just that watching my wife suffer through covid this last week and rush back prematurely to an unmasked #bced school is beyond disheartening. I feel sick.
After barely 6 covid sick days off, bced staff started calling, desperate for her to return to work. There were no substitutes available to cover for my wife, who previous to covid has had to live with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.
She is now slowly recovering from a #covid infection she received from the unmasked #bced class she’s so hastily been thrown back into.
This is truly unsustainable #bctf. Covid sick students should be masked. Fellow staff and teachers should be masked. My wife got sick while wearing an N95 everyday simply due to the unchecked viral load being accepted and normalized in #bced schools.
If we’ve learned anything this last year, it’s that one way masking is just not good enough. Does #worksafebc even care? I’m sorry but your child’s maskless attendance should not be more important than my partner’s lifelong health.
Due to my wife’s diligent masking while sick, I managed to avoid covid this time. We also slept apart every night and barely saw each other this last week.
It’s not lost on me, however, that had parents and teachers done the same and masked their sick kids, this all could have been avoided.
In the end we’re all only as strong as our weakest link. In this case our weakest link is our covid minimizing, uncaring “top doctor” health minister #BonnieHenry.
Teachers are not expendable. Society should be #masking to protect them. I can’t believe I’m begging people to care at year four of this tragic pandemic but that’s where we’re at.
Our #educators lives matter, care for one another and #MaskUp ‘cause this #bcndp govt has long since signed off on sickness.

The #BCndp pay #BonnieHenry upwards of 400 grand annually to professionally lie to us.
She’s paid to deny masks are useful while peddling her hand washing book. She’s paid to hide hospital outbreaks and rising death rates while minimizing #covid transmission in #bced schools and hospitals. She’s paid to publicly claim victory over a virus she’s silently embraced in pursuit of private health.
No one in #BritishColumbia voted for #BonnieHenry, yet as #PHO she calls the covid shots for all of us. No one polices #BonnieHenry, as “top doctor” she outranks us all.
I’m no longer sick of #masks, I cherish them; they’ve kept us healthy this entire pandemic. I unfortunately can’t say the same for #BonnieHenry and #AdrianDix.
Truth be told, I’m past sick of both of them. Their faces are the faces of defeat and a constant reminder of this #bcndp’s #eugenic surrender to #covid19bc.
Their briefings only serve to trigger the ongoing sadness and despair I feel for a govt I helped vote to power, who gave up on control of transmission and instead focused on restricting covid information and minimizing societal sickness and death they caused by giving up.
For #bcpoli to move forward, both #AdrianDix and #BonnieHenry must be replaced with someone less #corrupt who actually cares to combat covid.
#BonnieHenry will forever remind me of my loss of trust in public health. Whenever I see her I’m reminded of the daily lies, misinformation and all the disgusting praise she got for surrendering our province to #covid.
We in #BC deserve a fresh new #PHO. One that is less tired of lying or distracted by her next book. One without #GBD motives and a winery in addition to the exorbitant salary she gets pretending to be a doctor.
We in #BC deserve a true public health leader.

Dad got #covid this summer with my cousin and sister because they all just wanted a British family birthday here in #BC for his 80th.
We had been booked to join them up coast but found out two days prior to leaving. We called off the trip with several folks covid sick at the house we were planning to stay.
It was then we discovered #bcferries no longer refunds for covid cancellations, as to them the pandemic is over. We had to pay to drop our reservation days from our trip, knowing the ferry we had reserved would only be 75% full.
For #BritishColumbia businesses like #bcferries, ignoring the pandemic is just an extra cash grab. Book another ferry now, pay us 20 bucks or go get sick. They ultimately profited off our loss.
#LetErRip #NewDeathParty, #NoDataParty #BCndp, #BCmedia, #bonniehenry and #adriandix are the pack of unrepentant #GBD spiders who’ve spun this covid web of deception lulling our population into #complacency and #ableism.
Profit over kindness is what they’ve successfully preached.
We must vote every one of these anti mask, anti health covid #minimizers out. We must demand a true independent inquiry of this #bcndp and their #GreatBarrington #Eugenics #LetErRip #surrender to #covid19bc.
#BCndp needs to #FireBonnieHenry and attempt to restore trust in #BCHealth. British Columbia deserves true health leadership, not more #lies and #propaganda from a longtime corrupt govt shill.

An attempt to book summer visits with family on the Sunshine Coast & Vancouver Island has proved once again to be more expensive, limited to specific off times (which do not even connect with our start ferry times), and frustrating as hell to book via constantly changing online options, than ever before. I say this having travelled for 3 decades along #BC’s Westcoast and Vancouver Island.
This chaos is all due to the ever growing #greedy #bcferries overcharging, capitalizing and continually reaping profit through an overpriced reservation system imposed on a excess flow of riders through a reliably overtaxed and barely functional system.
I loathe the day #bcferries privatized, as it’s cost countless #bcwestcoast locals their livelihood and ungodly sums of money to maintain any connection with family.
We deserve better than being upcharged $1700 dollars to guarantee 10 no wait bookings when viable options are sold out months in advance.
These same #bcferries #capitalists who continue to steal extra profit off locals and tourist alike, have even ordered isolating passengers out of their cars in a pandemic to mingle with non masked riders as per their own #corporate safety rules.
The open gloat of these disgusting, profit driven, right wing corporations living off our family relationships is at times too much to bear. I sincerely hope that we few who stand against #capitalists, can find adequate ways to hurt them back.
