Puedes estar sufriendo de disonancia cognitiva si estás participando en la programación de eventos dedicados a la liberación pero ignoras la interseccionalidad entre la justicia para discapacitados, el racismo médico y los impactos desproporcionados del COVID en las comunidades más marginalizadas, incluidas las queer.

disonancia cognitiva en hablar de liberación colectiva y no preocuparse por el covid

The measles outbreak in Ontario is impacting more than 800 people, including the vaccinated.

Among the fully vaccinated sick with measles, 20-39 year olds have the largest number of infections.

I would have assumed it would be older groups due to waning vaccine effectiveness… so this intrigues me.

More people with young children? More socializing? What’s the X factor? Are repeat Covid infections playing a role?

You can speak to your doctor about getting a titre check to see if you need a booster, and a well fitted respirator like an N95 provides an extra layer of protection!

I went to my doctor's office this morning (for vertigo and a tick bite). Just wanted to post about my experiences in regards to masking.

Last week, I had gone to the same office, but my doctor was out so I saw someone else. That doctor had told me, "you know that you don't have to wear a mask, right?" And she was not masked.

I saw my own doctor today, and she continues to double-mask. She wears an N95 (3M Aura head strap), and over that she wears a surgical mask. The healthcare staff who are not doctors were all wearing surgical masks, semi-decent face-hugging ones, not the really baggy blue ones. Receptionists were not masked.

None of the other patients that I saw were masked. I had an ear-loop KN95. I knew I would have to remove it briefly for the exam, or else I would have worn my Flo-Mask. That mask takes me a while to get sealed, while I can get a quick decent seal on the KN95, and I wanted it to seal as quickly as possible when re-donning. (My doctor gave me the option to remove it; she would have accepted it if I had refused. I didn't refuse because frankly I'm nervous about having vertigo for two weeks ongoing and wanted to have all available tests done.)

When I took it off for the 30 seconds or so of the facial exam, I was overwhelmed by the scent of perfume. I can't believe a medical office allows that much fragrance. Even if Covid and other respiratory illnesses vanished, I would continue to mask just to block out that horrible overwhelming perfume (and other awful intrusive scents) in public places.

This place has a mask policy posted, but it just says if you are feeling sick or had a positive Covid test to wear a mask. It doesn't specify KN95+ and isn't sufficient to protect against asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic infections.

No one bothered me about my mask. I hope that continues.

A surprise work lunch appears. You don't *have* to go, but it's awkward if you don't. You have been wearing an #N95 at work for over a year.
