I’ve been asked to explain how to put on a headstrap respirator mask, keeping long hair loose. I’m using my new black CAN99 headstrap version from @vitacoreinc (just released!). They use bands that don’t slip but also don’t pull on my hair. (Bonus!!)

Protecting health!👍

Steps:

HOW TO PUT ON A HEADSTRAP MASK WITH LONG HAIR: 1) put the respirator on, with the lower strap at the base of your neck. Keep the top strap in front. Image shows me with the respirator on, neck strap behind my neck but I’m holding the top strap in front, using my thumb to make it stand out.
2) With the top strap still in front (it's below my chin now), lift a section of your hair, at the crown. Image shows me holding up a front section of hair, that I gathered by sweeping my thumb across the top crown of my head (at the back, towards the top).
3) Lift the top strap over the sectioned hair and place it at the crown of your head. Let go of the sectioned hair and let it sit naturally. Done! Image shows me with the respirator on, straps in correct spots, loose hair placed over the top strap to hide it.
2/ The video that used to circulate here on Twitter that shows these steps is from an account that limits who can see their posts, so I don’t have access anymore…hence the photo version above. I thank them for teaching us though!
3/ For more info regarding the black headstrap respirator that I’m using, see the attached tweet & discussion: ⬇️

(These respirators were just released last month so they’re a brand new addition to @vitacoreinc’s line up!)

“I feel like we are in a worse position b/c of complacency…the pandemic has been downplayed this whole past year. And not enough has been explained to people about the long-term harm from previous COVID infections.”@jheighton3

@Protect_BC in the news:
vancouversun.com/news/local-new…
2/ Public health officials have learned “zero lessons” since the 6 child deaths & overcrowded EDs last winter, @DrFiliatrault said. “This virus needs you to be 2 steps ahead.” B.C.’s PH officials “are going to be reactive again.”

(In comparison, New Zealand gov’t has it right:)
3/ “@DrFiliatrault is concerned the PH messaging is not focused enough on the potentially debilitating impacts of long COVID, symptoms that can include chronic pain, brain fog, shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue and neurological symptoms.”

(That includes kids. See article:

🧵:
It gets exhausting, listening to BC Public Health get it wrong, again & again, putting people’s lives at risk.

Latest example, Dr. Patricia Daly, @VCHhealthcare on @bctoday show.

She’s wrong, as scientists at @JohnSnowProject prove. “C19 like the cold or flu” - NO!

More…
2/ For a good start to how Dr. Daly, @VCHhealthcare, is wrong in her statements, see this thread. It has the source recording of her interview, too.

I’ll follow w/ proof from @JohnSnowProject.

@SKGandhiMD breaks down the main errors w/ the interview…⬇️
3/ Dr. Daly reassures BC that @WHO is correct in declaring the global C19 emergency is over, b/c of “high population immunity” & that C19 is like a cold or flu now.

@JohnSnowProject article, w/ studies in footnotes, proves her wrong. (See 1st tweet for link to article.) Screenshot of John Snow Pro...

“All human lives have value. We don’t want pity, we demand our human rights. No one is disposable, no one should be sacrificed.” @sylvia_a_fuller

Exactly. @KasariGovender said so, too - so @adriandix, WILL YOU LISTEN? You are violating human rights by removing mask protections.
2/ @DrKarinaZeidler: “I work as a family doctor…what I see is, ppl who are struggling just to be able to STAY ALIVE. They’re losing their housing, they’re losing their support, their community; they are isolated & alone.” #LongCovid

Do better, @adriandix. Quit minimizing & ACT.
3/ Every chalk outline represents 100’s of BC’ians who must access BC healthcare services every day. All have medical reasons for needing care: whether cancer, organ transplant, diabetes, ER, accident, surgery, blood tests, dental care…

We all need HC at some point. @adriandix

🧵:
Time to make some noise, Greater Vancouver! Come out to show @adriandix @bcndp that universal mask protections *must* be returned to healthcare settings.

Protect HCW & patients. #CovidIsNotOver, & 2-way masking is the most effective way to lower transmission.

Article:
2/ LTC homes suddenly getting vaccinated this week, with no notice given, shows that @CDCofBC is aware that C19 is still a threat. Of course, because XBB.1.5 plus XBB.1.16 are circulating.

In which case, @bcndp should #BringBackMasks too.

Protect those at risk! Vax not enough.
3/ Proof that C19 cases are rising is in @CDCofBC data, shown here. (Thx, @rdumont99!)

Note that @CDCofBC is only going to report monthly from now on.

That means BC needs to #BringBackMasks more than ever, since withheld data means operating in the dark.

Risk assessment? Hah!

It’s obvious that #COVIDisAirborne (& many other viruses too like colds, flu, RSV), yet @CDCofBC @bcndp refuse to admit it & take immediate action. Upgrading 6% #bced schools per year doesn’t cut it.

@Dave_Eby The longer you wait, the more “flat earth” out-of-touch you’ll be.
2/ Illinois just passed legislation to put 60,000 HEPA purifiers in classrooms.

This SUPPLEMENTS mechanical ventilation by filtering air, providing additional air changes *on top* of what the HVAC system provides.

(Contrast w/ @bcndp, who erroneously think mech v is enough.)
3/ Boston Public Schools have an indoor air quality database, where people can check CO2 levels (& more) of their child’s classroom in real time.
➡️bostonschoolsiaq.terrabase.com

@bcndp Would be an excellent way to prove whether your claims that iAQ in #bced schools are good enough. Screenshot of one classroom...

I’m wondering when the class action lawsuits can begin for every Canadian who developed #LongCovid, considering public health KNEW about it from @GovCanHealth, starting July ‘20 & building through ‘21, yet told no one.

People’s “personal risk assessments” are based on lies.
🧵⬇️
2/ Of particular note in a lawsuit should be public health’s decision to promote “it’s mild”, related to initial acute infection period, while staying mum about a significant risk of #LongCovid afterwards.

And removing mask protections in 2022, stating “personal choice”.
3/ Of course, gov’ts have passed laws where people can’t sue them or public health over their decisions.

But there needs to be SOME ACCOUNTABILITY. The harms done are egregious & shouldn’t be allowed. No one should be above accountability.

The moral & physical harm is huge.
