Masks back at MUHC
Masks are back for health care workers at the MUHC.
I have a minor medical appointment Monday, and the website where I confirmed my attendance had a text block about wearing a mask. I couldn’t tell whether it was new or had been left up and forgotten about. I’ll be taking metro and bus though, so I’ll show up masked and see what happens.

The amazing thing is that they ever stopped, and that they won’t be upgrading the masks to N95s even though they know they’re superior. Covid killed 10% of people who caugh it in the hospital according to leaked data from an Australian health department.

Would be surprising if any medical professional did anything other than thank you for wearing a mask.
Have started masking on metros and busses. Have seen no one at the gym wearing one (I go first thing in the morning — 6:30 a.m. — and, though it’s often very busy, almost all the users are late-teen/early-20s uni students, a cohort that, even in the darkest days of the lockdown, refused to wear them and continued partying like nothing was wrong). But when I asked one of the conseillers about it yesterday, she said a number of members, mostly not kids, are in fact wearing them and thought she’d detected a recent uptick.

I had to fill out a Covid survey before showing up to an appt. at the Jewish on Thursday.

I never stopped wearing a mask in indoor public places and public transit.
