When #parents won't #MaskUp - they teach their #children to not be safe with their #health too. They also teach their kids to not care about others in the community. I'm blown away by how many parents are OK with exposing themselves & their kids to several preventable, airborne illnesses, including covid. They're risking death & disabilities on themselves & their kids.

Our #PublicHealth system is already overburdened & understaffed. We have many former health care workers with long covid & they never returned to work. We are nowhere near prepared to deal with many future cases of long covid & the 2ndary illnesses & disabilities that more people will suffer from - because they aren't being #CovidSafe.

Our government & mainstream media has stopped reporting facts on covid & on long covid. They want the public to forget about it. Which means dismissing the lives of disabled people like me & many others, who are still being covid safe.

Layered protection works best Layered = 2 doses of the MMR vaccine + mask (KN95 or better) + HEPA filtration (air purifiers) #MeaslesIsAirborne #AirborneAware Link: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Good worldwide measles update and info here. Thanks WHN.

New York State recently advised people to make sure their MMR vaccine is up to date if they’re travelling to Ontario But with COVID infections damaging people’s immune systems, layered protection works best “Layered” means wearing a mask in public spaces & using HEPA filtration #MeaslesIsAirborne

Layered protection is most effective: 2 doses of the MMR vaccine, a mask, and HEPA filtration (air purifier) #MeaslesIsAirborne #COVIDisAirborne #AirborneAware #COVIDinformed Link: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I learned recently that even though it’s known for its distinctive rash, #measles is a highly contagious virus that is spread through the air from coughing and sneezing. According to this page from the #CDC, the virus can be infectious for two hours in the air and on surfaces.

The World Health Organization acknowledged the pandemic in Dec 2024 Please get vaccinated (the most up to date vaxx) & wear a mask in public to protect yourself, your family, friends & community #MeaslesIsAirborne #COVIDisAirborne #COVIDisNotOver #WeAreStillinApandemic #VaccinesWork #MasksWork

Masks are a layer of protection that help everyone 😷 (including those vaccinated, since there’s no vaccine that offers 100% perfect protection) Unfortunately, many of the same people who don’t want to get vaccinated ALSO don’t want to wear a mask #COVIDisAirborne #MeaslesIsAirborne #AirborneAware

Whew, it's been a long while since I've signed in. Greetings from U.S.A. I swear to all the gods that there are still good people here. I'm still avoiding forced infection from a growing array of novel and nostalgic viruses. Love my trusty masks. #CovidIsNotOver #COVIDisAirborne #MeaslesIsAirborne #TBisAIRBORNE #H5N1isAirborne

@ChemicalEyeGuy just one tiny pushback: "during the COVID pandemic" is still now.

Just because it's not politically defined as a state of emergency, doesn't change the facts of transmission or prevalence.

If that seems sus, consider HIV - definitely still a pandemic, but in most of the world it's not politically an emergency.

Also while some people are poorly educated, some have been actively mis-educated and disinformed.

Increased Measles in Canada - Are you protected?

As Public Health crumbles and too few people are getting vaccinated for measles our herd immunity levels have dropped too much and now many people are at risk for a disease we almost eradicated in Canada. #measles #measlesisairborne #Canada 🧵 1/

NEW: #Toronto Public Health is investigating a confirmed case of #measles in an infant who is currently hospitalized.

TPH statement comes just days after Peel Public Health officials announced a case in #Mississauga, Ontario.

Note: measles symptoms take between seven and 21 days to appear after infection.

@alison @skry

Unsettling that this child was in an hospital ER or medical clinic for over 26 hours while infectious.

@alison of course not 😡​

"Measles virus remains active and contagious in the air or on infected surfaces for up to 2 hours."

"Measles is one of the rare diseases that you can catch by walking past someone. It's more contagious than Covid."

@harold “Measles spreads easily through the air…” Omg no, it’s airborne? Maybe WHO’s Dr. Mike Ryan will strong-arm CBC to retract this sentence. #CovidIsAirborne #MeaslesIsAirborne
