When people wear a mask in public spaces, it means that they: Care about their own health Care about immunocompromised / disabled / chronically ill people’s health Care about children’s health Care about elderly people’s health Care about everyone’s health #COVIDisNotOver #MasksSaveLives

Welp started the day off by getting my chubby kitty's butt shaved at the vet cause she can't take care of it herself. Later today, Im getting three vaccines to make sure I'm fully covered from all the stuff lingering around lately before my hysterectomy.

It only takes 1 person to be a leader Be a leader in caring ab your own health AND immunocompromised / disabled / chronically ill people’s health by wearing a mask in public spaces Be a leader in refusing to participate in #ableism & eugenics #COVIDisNotOver #WeAreStillinApandemic #MasksSaveLives

Even when the world “moved on” from COVID in 2022, it was obvious to most people that immunocompromised people were being abandoned “Most people” didn’t care and chose to follow the crowd & abandoned us anyway #COVIDisNotOver #WeAreStillinApandemic #MasksSaveLives #StopMaskBans

Just because something becomes normalized or common or popular, doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do. #BringBackMasks #MasksSaveLives #KeepMasksInHealthcare #StopMaskBans #NoMaskBans

People like to think they care about human rights & #disabled people but then are and go unmasked in public #Immunocompromised people ARE human & we exist Immunocompromised rights = human rights #HumanRights #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy #MasksSaveLives

has anyone thought about how if that insurance ceo guy was wearing a mask he might have gone unrecognized and not been shot

In order to be an ally to #immunocompromised people, it’s necessary to acknowledge the seriousness of COVID and #LongCOVID & to learn how to make events or gatherings safe & accessible (risk of LongCOVID increases with each reinfection & causes long term or permanent disability) #MasksSaveLives

Since 2020, we’ve had surges in the summer, fall, and winter COVID is NOT seasonal Please wear a mask (preferably KN95 or better) to protect yourself, your family, friends, and community #MasksSaveLives #BringBackMasks #COVIDisNotOver #WeAreStillinApandemic

“Following the science” wearing a mask in public spaces #BringBackMasks #MasksSaveLives #COVIDisNotOver #WeAreStillinApandemic

New hazard index from the team at Covid-19 Resources Canada, based on federal wastewater data: around 1 in 35 British Columbians have COVID-19 right now, meaning there are an estimated 119,900-169,300 infections THIS WEEK.

Some of those infections are in hospitals - the very places people go to get care, not COVID. There are multiple healthcare outbreaks declared right now for both COVID-19 and unspecified “respiratory infections”.

Email, call, fax & write to BC policymakers, demanding our province require masks in healthcare to protect the most vulnerable - and to catch up with places like Ontario, Newfoundland & Labrador, where mask requirements are already returning! http://donoharmbc.ca/vulnerability-isnt-seasonal/ (NB: contact info at places like the BCCDC and various health authorities should not be affected by any changes due to the recent election)
