This tweet is for all those that are still warning others, those still protecting the vulnerable, and still masking. Thank you all for your advocacy and doing the right thing, even when it is not popular to do so #MaskUp #CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne

@BelugaWooz I’m very glad she was open to trying a higher grade mask. Sometimes people are very resistant to giving up their blue surgicals even when better options are available

I need to vent - I always state my boundaries when it comes to masking and not eating indoors. I found out a few people that I’ve known over 20 years are meeting up behind my back. Given what I’ve seen with my late grandmother’s LTC and ongoing COVID outbreaks,

I work 5 days a week in person because my job requires me to do so. I have a respirator and air purifier at my workspace. Guess what? I have had only 1 infection the past 4 years. So yeah, there are ways to reduce infections. The more infections you have, the higher chance of LC

I know I am doing the right thing by staying safe because I know the reality of what COVID does and the harm it brings. It’s never easy but the pandemic has ripped off a lot of people’s “mask”. I now know who they will thrown under the bus for the sake of normalcy. I am tired.

@Gray_Mackenzie For every dollar invested in child care, the gov gets more than a dollar back in tax revenue when women are able to go to work. Recovery for women is important when child care is prioritized. Canceling childcare is short sighted.

@MeetJess I was wearing my Breathe respirator and met a staff at the LTC that I haven’t seen before. They asked me to remove it and replace it with a surgical - cause the respirator would “scare people”. Communication on masks and respirators have failed badly.
