Just learned of another (young, fit & healthy) colleague's death by heart attack.

There have been so many sudden deaths these past few years.

Covid is not over, and no-one is truly immune. 💔

In case anyone missed it - @trishgreenhalgh dropped a HUGE multi disciplinary study on masks & respirators yesterday.

This study involved people from all over the world and tackled everything from are masks effective against COVID (spoiler -
They are), why were there bad RCTs saying the opposite and what were their flaws, what are the sociological barriers to masking (with input from @DALupton).

It was exactly the kind of gold standard, irrefutable study on masks and respirators that we need to counter the “masks don’t work” crowd. Unfortunately I realize many of them won’t ever read it - but it still feels wonderful to see it laid out so clearly.

If any of the other contributors are on here - please drop a comment so I can find & follow you!

A friend of mine made this fantastic respirator graphic with a QR code that links to the huge study on efficacy of masks & respirators that came out yesterday.

I love that’s it’s eye catching - but the best part is the QR code takes you straight to the study! He’s not on here (yet) but says people are welcome to save & share!

I cant believe this bill is about to get passed! https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/north-carolina-bill-curb-mask-wearing-protests-make-110230926

It would criminalize mask-wearing in public even for medical reasons ... It's just unacceptable.. there's a change petition https://chng.it/6kf5XTsv6t and people we need to email tonight/before 9am Wed morning (5-15), this endangers us / violates rights!
