The CSAβs revised standard on respirators should help us all breathe easier
New draft standards for respirator use recognize the importance of protecting workers and patients in health-care settings, where there is a higher risk of pathogen exposure
Canada is leading in safety with the new draft of the CSA standard on respirators.
@dickzoutman.bsky.social, @juliamwright.bsky.social, @mark-ungrin.bsky.social, and I explain key updates that bring protections up to date with the evidence on respirator use against airborne disease transmission.

We can, and must, do more to protect students in higher education from the risks of post-COVID condition
Postsecondary students are particularly vulnerable to repeated COVID-19 infections, putting them at risk for post-COVID condition, or long COVID. Campuses can take action to protect them.
"Canadaβs postsecondary institutions have a responsibility to protect students and others on campus from the risks of post-COVID condition as a matter of campus safety." New piece by @ryantennant.bsky.social @mark-ungrin.bsky.social myself and @dickzoutman.bsky.social. #cdnpse @caut.bsky.social

It breaks my heart to say that @tikkunolamunist.bsky.social has passed away from a sudden, unexpected illness. He will be profoundly missed.
Plans are brewing about the completion of his book HOW IβM JEWISH. It will happen.

Coffee Shop Person: What can I get you?
Me: Coffee, please.
C.S.P. Regular?
Me (unable to remember whether 'regular' coffee in Cambridge has sugar): What's regular?
C.S.P. (can't believe I'm so dim): REGULAR is the way MOST PEOPLE like it!!

I sort of feel like they are themselves NPIs, but they can be licensed by a null NEG? Kind of like the expression "I could care less."
