Pls support better PPE, greener PPE & 🇨🇦 PPE.

Pls buy 🇨🇦. 🙏

Dear @PSPC_SPAC,

Govt says Single Use Plastics to be eliminated by 2030.

Plastic straws & cutlery are already illegal.

Govt policy says fed gov to lead by example & buy only 'green' PPE.

[Canadian Association of PPE Manufacturers @CAPPEM2]

@freakinbox @GainOfDystopia @LazarusLong13 🇨🇦 SMEs produce materials, masks & respirators here in Canada, & can manufacture enough for the whole country, but the govt is not buying.

[Canadian Association of PPE Manufacturers @CAPPEM2]

@mary_ng Thank you. Agreed. Fully support.

Wish we would provide the same support for our Canadian PPE industry. 🇨🇦

[Canadian Association of PPE Manufacturers @CAPPEM2]

Just a reminder, 🇨🇦 PPE mfrs are first in the world to manufacture plant-based medical masks as alternatives to SUPs.

They also produce lightweight, easy-breathing environmentally-friendly reusable respirators.

@RichieofPi1 Those are only reported cases based on limited testing. The real numbers are 50-fold higher.

We could publish a National Standard for Bioaerosol respiratory protection & include children as well as adults.

We could start by addressing the two biggest drivers of community cases, schools & hospitals.

Canada has world class environmentally friendly PPE including plant-based masks & reusable respirators. And world class heroes who wear them. 🇨🇦

Here’s why I’ve decided to wear an elastomeric mask at a conference of 35000 people from around the world during a pandemic. @BarryHunt008 @PPEtoheros

[Barry Hunt @BarryHunt008]

Last fall 5% of kids in 🇨🇦 had been infected w CoVID.

We stopped wearing masks.

Now 80% of kids have been infected.

Flu & RSV are now so severe that kids are missing school, kid's medicines are sold out & kids ICUs are overun.

Mass infection did that.

To our kids.

😠

@8th_block @WithSpiders And it's not counting the knock-on costs of losing availability of 10,000 hospital beds, postponed & cancelled surgeries, unfathomable wait times, lost wages, labour shortages, productivity losses, supply chain interruptions, inflation, taxes & GDP.

$100B? More? 🤷‍♂️

[Canadian Association of PPE Manufacturers @CAPPEM2]

According to https://t.co/CO9cEIfc2a
it costs Canada $20M / day, $7B per year, to treat COVID patients in Hospital.

That would buy a lot of masks & respirators - enough to supply every person in 🇨🇦 for years.
