I mask for the folks I lost to Covid before masking protocols. I mask because I still grieve for people who didn’t get a chance to mask. It’s respect. It’s protection. It’s both mourning and protest.
When it comes to Hantavirus, Ebola, Bird Flu, and Covid, we have to dial down the hubris and dial up the precautionary principle and the strategies that accompany it.
We can not dismiss worst case scenarios simply because "we are tired of pandemics" or it could cost us even more than the collective denial about Covid already has.
Incredible speech delivered by Baroness Linforth in the House of Lords today calling for clean indoor air in schools.
“It would cost less than a tenner per child per year to provide pupils and staff with clean air - about the same cost as a coffee and a cake.”

Don’t just wear a mask again because Hantavirus is in the news, it might not be for long, and you need to protect yourself after the media moves on from it.
Wear a mask because Covid destroys the immune system, attacks the heart, damages the brain, and compounds the damage to your body with each infection.

The act of writing slows students down, adds tactile feedback, and helps lock it into memory.
A man in Kenya drove 3,000 gallons of water to help wild animals after seeing elephants and buffaloes collapsing from thirst.
He did not wait for help or permission… he saw a problem and acted immediately.
He did this so many times to the point that most animals would recognise the sound of his lorry and wait for him at the drinking point!
When he started doing this, no organization or government supported him! Only few friends would encourage him.
Covid can directly damage pancreatic beta cells (they produce insulin) via ACE2 receptors. Infections can trigger a cytokine storm, which can lead to sudden/severe insulin resistance. AND, there's an est. 60–66% higher risk of developing new-onset diabetes following infection.
