1/9) Humans are naturally social beings, with a tendency to follow the crowd, also known as 'herd mentality'. This psychological phenomenon can unfortunately extend to health practices, such as mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic. #COVID19 #MaskUp
2/9) Following the crowd provides a sense of security and belonging. When a significant number of people neglect mask-wearing, others may feel compelled to do the same, despite the risks, to maintain social cohesion. #COVID19 #HerdMentality
I see so many people lamenting getting Covid after hanging out with friends...many of them are older people, some already have Long Covid and the setback often causes even more physical damage and disability. It doesn't have to be this way!
It's not a choice between total isolation or no Covid precautions. This attitude reminds me of people who couldn't fathom switching to condoms and getting HIV tests when AIDS emerged. I think of Covid mitigations as Safe Life. Or at least safer life than pretending Covid is over.
If you're going to gather, have all friends test first. When gathering, wear a well-fitting N95/KN95/Kf94 mask indoors and outdoors in crowds. If home, run Hepa air purifiers or a Corsi-Rosenthal box and open windows. If you share a meal together, eat outside and avoid crowds.

While you may well start off healthy, anyone can become Clinically Vulnerable at some point in their life, making them more susceptible to severe infections.

Covid infections or repeat infections of healthy people can lead to Long Covid*, where people experience prolonged symptoms and conditions including: fatigue, brain fog and respiratory issues.
* Some data suggests that up to 1 in 10 infections result in long-term symptoms.

Everyone is at risk from long covid.
Risk increases with each reinfection as you can see from the graph below. The more times you catch COVID the greater your risk.

Thankfully, I am vaxxed, and triple boosted, or, this could have been worse. I am grateful for the protection that these vaccines continue to provide.
This would be a good time to remind everyone that Covid isn't over yet.

Scheduled physical therapy bc of limited mobility and pain. Was informed that masks are no longer mandatory & the office doesnât supply masks to staff. I had to ask that my physical therapist (pt) wear a mask when working on me, and thankfully the pt is willing to wear one. (2/9)
So Iâm bringing different types of high rated masks so my pt can try which fits best. Iâll be wearing my gvs elipse p100 elastomeric. Iâm also bringing a portable hepa air purifier bc they have none. Affording these (even on sale) is a huge privilege. But it shouldnât be! (3/9)

1/ Oh boy... So @MSN is legitimizing this @dcexaminer piece claiming that masks don't work to spread COVID as if it's news. It's not news!
It's an OP-ED piece written by a conservative columnist.

2/ The op-ed author cites a new @CochraneLibrary meta-analysis of 78 randomized controlled trials (RCTs)âdescribing it as a "massive mega-study"âto claim that masks don't stop the spread of COVID-19.
But the analysis only included 6 RCTs that involved COVID-19! Not massive!

3/ The analysis looked at several interventions other than masks... leaving only 12 studies that looked at surgical masks (w/ only 2/12 involving COVID) and 5 looked at N95s (none of which involved COVID)!
Now, it's true that the effect of surgical masks vs. no masks was weak...

1/n Eventually, people will get alarmed by this, or claim it's exaggerated. So here's a short explainer. Yes, repeated covid infection tends to badly age parts of your immune system, causing a deficiency compared to normality. That's the first part.
2/ No, obviously (as yet) the immune deficiency caused by repeated covid is not on the same level as what HIV/AIDS causes. It is, however, quite bad for you, & fits in very well with the observation that covid worsens your average risks of death by 10 years.
3/ We've known quite a long while that covid is pretty damn bad on your immune system for many people. None of this is new, none of it a surprise. Read this thread in full.

The scores have become more volatile in the last week. We usually see this at start of new waves, when some provinces are still seeing some numbers coming down quite low compared to earlier periods, but there are starting to be spikes in other variables, especially waste water.
We're not sure if there will be a new wave, or if it will happen in all provinces. Some, like PEI and NS, were in a very prolonged very high period recently, so numerous reinfections may be less likely there. Maybe.

That's about 21K untimely (extra) deaths/year. From QC data it looks like most is COVID.
