The chief of staff of @CHEO asked #Ottawa to #MaskUp in 2022. As an infectious diseases expert, she was shouted down by anti-vax/anti-maskers. As a trustee in #Ottawa, I still receive antisemitic death threats for my motion in Nov 2022 for @OCDSB to temporarily mask.
Facing the triple threat of #COVID and #rsv and #flu, a layered approach is wisest again: #n95, #COVIDVaccine boosters, test, and support ppl to stay home when sick.

@nilikm
I'm appalled to hear that people are making death threats while revealing their brand of hate.
Thank you for continuing the fight.
@nilikm Hi! Do you have a suggestion for a mask for a 9 year old? I’ve tried these…

… various brands of surgical masks and they always slip down off his nose. The 3m auras are too big. I’ve tried shortening the ear loops. 
@nilikm kind of at a loss regarding what to do. I wish the OCDSB had a more serious/consistent strategy around HEPA filtration. I wish there were air quality monitors.
ally, she, her. Our 9 year old wears a kids Flo Mask. We bought the halo strap for a better fit and filters here as well.
Donate-A-Mask also sells Kids Flo Mask. It's a little more money, but shipping is included and a donation is made to help fulfil free mask requests for people in need of a quality mask but can't afford it.

ALSO I've heard parents have success with the Trident mask.
They have a sampler pack available.

@WikiNicki @nilikm I have seen these online! Worth a try!
It’s stunning how much weasel words about Covid and masks have become so standard for journalists that they can’t even report mask messages accurately. Compare these:
The statement:
“The province should step in and mandate masks, *we know that masks work*,” said Dr. Catherine Clase
The reporting:
“They argue reinstating mask mandates within schools *may help mitigate* the transmission of these viruses.”
