@another_jan@Prof_J_Lawton Make sure they’re FFP3 masks, preferably with straps that go round the back of your head, to get as good a seal as possible.
I use these:

Why is the word raped in inverted commas in this headline, thus implying it’s not really rape when it happens to a man.
Men can be, and are, raped too, you know.
Really disappointing, and very minimising. Do better.
@nursekelsey I had an appointment with a hospital consultant last week. On entering his office in my ffp3/n99 he said hello and studied me for a couple of seconds.
Then he said “is there a reason why you’re wearing a mask?”
No words.
@DiscoJayne @COVID19_disease I had a hospital appointment with a consultant (head of the whole department) and his first question to me was "is there a reason why you're wearing a mask?"
I don't know how I didn't punch him!

@MarieMrsf35 Thanks, Marie, much appreciated. Really having to work hard on the mental effects even though I know it's due to the infection in my rational brain.
@tryna_do_rite I hv been on a plane 2x since ‘20, wearing FFP3/N99 at all times. 1st trip unscathed, this year caught it on 5hr flight home. Plane was disgusting, like a hospital respiratory ward - one way masking wasn’t enough. Two weeks in bed. Awful. Ppl are just 100% selfish now.
Just had Covid vaccine and this is the eligibility list for Covid and flu. Asthma with a steroid inhaler, frontline health or social care worker etc. all quietly put back in there. Good.
@NjbBari3 It's so far taken out 3 of 5 members of our core team at work (I wfh, thankfully), thanks to one of them who announced to everyone he had a "cold"...until I suggested he did a test.
Sigh.
It’s not the pandemic that’s traumatising (to me) it’s the government’s, public health’s, media’s, medical professional’s and majority of the population’s RESPONSE to the pandemic that’s traumatising (to me).
