What if COVID was as visible as Canada wildfire smoke? Would people mask up then or would it still me a matter of “freedom” to inhale a level 3 bio hazard virus? Officials are advising people, especially those with pre-existing respiratory conditions, to wear an N95 mask. Canadian Health Minister, Jean-Yves Duclos said, “So, for all of these people, including others that may want to protect themselves against the bad consequences of bad quality air, wearing an N95 mask is the recommended procedure by health authorities.”
When it comes to filtering out COVID from the air in health care facilities, work or home, no one cares because COVID can not be seen. Hundreds of people continue to die every week but the numbers are far less than the thousands who died every week during COVID spikes of the past. One in five will suffer from Long COVID. To return to normal everyone has surrendered to disability and death.
Biden hopes to get re elected by convincing Americans that the smoke has cleared.
