Why can you still #smell things wearing an effective #mask? You can smell some nasty things like smoke and rotten eggs even with fit tested #N95 #respirators which block tiny viruses/bacteria because the smell molecules have atomic masses that are 17 million times less than a #virus. 🧪🧵1/ #COVID

Image of a woman wearing an N95 respirator with an expression of disgust from smelling something bad. Generated using Bing Image Creator powered by DALL-E 3 using prompt, "A person wearing an N95 mask with an expression of disgust from smelling something bad"

Graph using logarithmic scale showing difference in atomic mass (Daltons) of various gases like oxygen, carbon dioxide and some you can smell ranging from 32 to 131 Daltons while the COVID-19 virus is millions of times more at 602 million Daltons and the aerosol it travels in is billions of times more at 160 billion Daltons.

At parts of the Winter Olympics in Italy, COVID precautions remain, grounded in the reality that respiratory illness is still circulating. When your lungs are your livelihood, prevention is part of performance. #COVID #COVID19 #PublicHealth #InfectionPrevention #Olympics #LongCOVID #MaskUp #N95

Photo of four athletes seated at a press conference table, all wearing face masks, with microphones in front of them. A blue backdrop behind them shows sponsor logos (including P&G, Samsung, TCL, Visa, Salomon) and Olympic branding. WHN branding “whn.global” appears at the top left. Large yellow text over the lower half reads: “Olympians are still masking in 2026” Smaller white text below reads: “At the Winter Olympics in Italy, some athletes are still masking and isolating, aware that COVID and other respiratory illnesses are not over.” Footer text: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.”

I got bloodwork done today. The nurse had her flimsy blue mask down, around her chin, in a “masks required” clinic. I was in my #N95 and asked gently why no one was enforcing the #masks. “Oh, don’t worry, there are no #risks anymore. We shouldn’t have to wear these at all”, she said. 1/

Does anyone want or know someone who wants some boxes of child-sized KN95 respirators? We have ten boxes of 2,600 each and can’t seem to find anyone local who is interested. #covid #respirator #KN95 #N95

Enormous boxes filled with child-sized KN95 respirators stacked up

Alex B @alexdesignsit.bsky.social

So now I have TWENTY-SIX THOUSAND child-sized respirators sitting in my living room while his team figures out who wants them.

What does it really look like to stay COVID-cautious as a doctor in 2025? Dr. Nancy Malek shares her daily routines, the science that drives her, and why she won’t stop advocating for airborne precautions. Read her perspective here: whn.global/why-i-still-.... #PublicHealth #COVID #Masking #N95

Again at the top, six small colored dots (pink, orange, green, green-blue, blue, navy) and a pink pill-shaped label saying "Personal Experiences." "whn.global" in the top right.
Main large bold text says:

“For me, though, I saw COVID everywhere.”
Below that, smaller black text reads:
While my colleagues removed their N95 masks once away from patients and sat shoulder to shoulder in the tearoom for lunch, I put my N95 mask on in the hospital carpark and didn’t take it off until I was back in my car.
In a pink outlined box, additional pink text says:
While others have moved on, Nancy continues to advocate for evidence-based airborne protections in healthcare, driven by her belief that every doctor has a duty of care to understand the science of COVID.
Below the box, black text continues:
“All of these precautions have kept me safe throughout the pandemic. In contrast, almost all my colleagues have contracted COVID at least once—some multiple times. Some of them even have Long COVID.”
At the bottom, on a light blue background, white text reads:

1/ Bad news for (most) people whose immune systems have already been hammered by multiple reinfections of #COVID these past 5+ years. But the good news is: an #N95 mask can prevent both #Flu & #COVID - so get your flu shot AND wear a mask. Via @sujo.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

Properly fitted #N95 #masks can filter out most PM2.5 particles, the ones most commonly linked to health effects. You will still smell #smoke since N95's can't stop gases which cause irritation. P100 for more severe situations. #wildfires healthybuildings.hsph.har….

Medical masks were never designed to protect the wearer — and leading safety authorities are finally saying so. Only respirators (like N95s) qualify as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Read more: whn.global/whn-joins-in.... #PublicHealth #N95 #MaskUp #Masking
