N95 masks help protect people from wildfire smoke & poor air quality, as well as Covid & other airborne viruses. N95 masks should be free for everyone, & at the very least, there should be mask mandates in healthcare settings. Are there any politicians who understand this?
It starts as a āsimple infectionā until YEARS later it becomes:
Long HIVā¦AIDS
Long HPVā¦Cervical Cancer
Long EBVā¦Multiple Sclerosis
Long HSVā¦Alzheimerās
Long HCVā¦Liver Cancer
CURRENTLY 1 in 13 Americans already have #LongCOVID.
We donāt know how this story ends

And news flash: for all of those saying āCOVID is only bad for older peopleāā¦ #LongCOVID is MORE common for YOUNGER people.

1/ Contrary to some media headlines, our proposal for #BetterMasks has not been to ājust give everyone N95sā
If that was, I would be using #N95Masks
I think of masks the same way I think of any risk mitigation. Better is better. Unregulated cloth masks not the bar to settle on

2/ we even specifically asked CNN to change the headline (they initially chose N95 masks) bc the idea behind this movement was always to provide folks w/ a multitude of options- N95s are one of those. But so are high grade surgical masks w/ mask fitters

3/ The arguments saying ājust get more people to wear any maskā- guess what?
We should do both
& getting āanti-maskersā to wear a mask is actually IMO a harder problem than getting someone who already believes in masks a #BetterMask (which helps them around those who donāt)

3) As early as March 13, Nova Scotia healthcare unions were united in their call to @nshealth for PPEās - #N95masks specifically - for all frontline workers.
Those calls were ignored.

.@GovHolcomb's daily #coronavirus briefing begins. @StateHealthIN Commissioner Kris Box is back after a 2-day absence.
Holcomb's briefing tomorrow will go forward, but he won't be in the governor's office; he's joining his predecessor, @VP, for a visit to the Kokomo @GM plant, which has begun making ventilators.
Box: @kroger will begin drive-thru #coronavirus testing in Fort Wayne tomorrow, and is working to add sites in Indy.
With only a few days to go before the most comprehensive #lockdown announced by GoI comes to an end, participated in a VC with Hon PM to discuss the exit strategy to deal with fallout from #COVIDć¼19 Crisis & ways to kick start the #economy. Made the following suggestions.(1/n)
1. TESTING: Use Rapid test kits to segregate the people into red, yellow & green zones. Empowering employers to test their workforce, will reduce the burden on Govt and create green zones of productivity and help get economy back on track. (2/n)
2. #supplychain: They are extremely important to get the economy moving even in a partial manner. Allowing trucks to #transport goods and other #materials is vital for the #economy. The Govt might also consider ensuring Road side facilities for the drivers' #welfare. (3/n)

I posted about sourcing #N95masks for #coronavirus in an earlier tweet, now hereās more about sourcing #testingkits, #ventilators etc. and how I got my kits. Supply-chain is fascinating. Storm š
There are multiple approaches to testing. The fastest is an antibody blood test I got. A more accurate approach is RT-PCR via a nasal swab. Itās slower since it requires a lab to process the samples. Many countries use both tests for each patient.
If you are trying to source the antibody test, most testing kits now test for both IgG and IgM in *a single kit*, and cost around $10 for each test. It shows results in 15 mins like a pregnancy test. Most of these kits are mass produced in China.
