Put your masks on.
Covid cautious N95 masks collage

Accompanied my Mom to doctor's appointment this morning. This was mainly for getting another prescription for her recurring gout issue. She got a physical checkup too. Her doctor & his MOA were masked up. None of the other medical clinic staff & no other patients were masked.

Location of masking report: Burnside Medical Clinic - office in lower part of building - there's a different office with same name on main level.

En route to pharmacy to pickup prescription refills. A #SelfPortrait in the car.

Good morning.

This is my latest #MaskUp #selfie - from the back passenger seat of a taxi. With my last KN95 mask - all my remaining ones are N95s. I have thousands stocked up from last year.

I played around with a trippy, glitch edit on my selfie.

The first in office appointment with my new family doctor has just been booked for this Friday morning. I have the first appointment of the day & the doctor has assured me that he & staff will be masked up, as I've requested
I tend to ask for first slot of the morning when booking medical appointments - to avoid running into a bunch of unmasked patients in waiting rooms.

I'll be asking if he will consider taking on my youngest brother as a new patient too because that bro still doesn't have a family doctor. He's been on the government waitlist for 2+ years.

I'm off to get mammogram now & then working on updating client files all afternoon. Remote(safer) work today

Off to rattle making workshop, part 1.

Only me & 4 other #CovidCautious colleagues who never let up on #CovidSafety have not called in sick for over 2 years. All our other colleagues have taken multiple sick leaves & some developed long covid disabilities & can't return to work anymore. Yet, the majority of folks are still opting to play the #covid Russian roulette games.

Hello Zeroes, I'm a soon-to-be parent on South Vancouver Island, BC, hoping to connect with like-minded people and resources in the area. My wife and I have been successfully COVID-safe for years, and are now trying to navigate birthing, childcare and school in a way that keeps us and our child safe going forward. Give me a follow or hit me up on Matrix (@Island_guy:zeroes.ca)!

Thank you @trendless and everyone else that maintains this space. It is still needed and so appreciated!

#Introduction

Hello #CovidCautious folks! I just wrote something in another thread that I want to expand on here because I think it will be useful to people trying to calibrate their risk tolerance for #CovidSafety precautions at home.
Specifically, I want to talk about how at-home rapid tests can significantly reduce risk, despite all you may have heard about how inaccurate they are.
#COVID #CovidIsNotOver @novid 1/9

For well over a month now i have had eye floaters disturbing my visual field. Yet i do not find the courage to contact my doctor. Those discussions re: #COVIDsafety, i can't even imagine how i might brave them.

It is a lonely life with so much #LongCOVID and so little support.

4 years ago. When I had white & blue hair. Wearing N95 mask under sequin fabric mask.

My vivid hair colours were done by a friend, Kate, who works at The Old Hat Hair Shoppe, in downtown #VictoriaBC :
