Can't remember which source (not a doc, spoken or maybe posted). Maybe @davidelfstrom.bsky.social do you know the facts around when N95s are truly no good (past expiration date)? I forget if it was you or maybe @wikisteff.bsky.social or another of you awesome clean air warriors I heard it from.

Those are for vacuuming and allergies. 🙃 I'm so sorry they expired - but you might also want to check around to make sure they really are "expired." You may still be able to use them.

Been rough. Sad that bsky has gone that way too - and that a handful of frauds ruined it for us, but tbh all I ever was able to get here was maybe 3 contributions, all less than $30, and that was ages ago. I'm thankful for who helped. Waste of 🥄 to ask, even tho the Long COVID is at its worst.

Wow, Tara, you've been on quite the ongoing journey, with twists & turns the entire way. TY for sharing from the depths of your heart. This is an important reminder: None of us knows what's going on in a person's life. Compassion, esp these days, is crucial. You are a leading example of that. ❤️💔❤️

This right here is what I hope people can understand re COVID-19 in Canada. Sure, it's moderate, which is a lot better than the worst waves we've had BUT did you know that infections in Canada today are about 5X higher than at the lowest point of the pandemic here? LC = 5X higher. Deaths=4X higher.
