Hmm some rumours of replacing pcr with rat testing for travellers. Would help - arguably not testing fully vaxxed would be better Hopefully also the elimination of the less than 5 school/childcare quarantine https://t.co/sJ5EePCpqk

Experts are calling for respirators, such as N95s, to become the new masking standard to curb the spread of the Omicron variant of the novel coronavirus.

Story on my N95 vs. medical mask adventure in Canada. Glad to see that Public Health Ontario now recognizes N95s as an acceptable alternative to medical masks under certain circumstances. We should never discourage people from using better masks. https://t.co/2AlRkDrP1t
