WEAR A MASK 1/5

I am appalled at the drift in Covid-19 news today.
We cannot “reopen” without safety.

Safety means one of two things.
Either maintain safe distance separation.
If not, use adequate protection.

WEAR A MASK 2/5

Yes, we cannot let schooling, small businesses, housing market, flounder indefinitely.
But - none of these can function with dead humans as participants.

Yes, let’s get back to work. There is a SAFE way and a stupid way to do this.

Shall we try safe?
WEAR A MASK 3/5

It’s NOT rocket science. #covid19 spreads in exhaled droplets. If you keep a minimum distance separation, you are relatively safe.

Most offices, schools, restaurants - AND HOSPITALS! - cannot function with workers standing 2 metres apart.

Cover.Your.Face.
WEAR A MASK 4/5

At present, nursing handovers, doctors’ case discussions, are not taking place wearing a mask because of the state of #PPE supply. We’ve already seen the consequences on #Covid19 infection.

It makes no sense to now magnify that same problem into the community.
WEAR A MASK 5/5

How about a grassroots move to ensure masks are made mandatory for all interpersonal interactions at <2m? In EVERY arena. This is the simplest measure that will provide protection while allowing a safer easing out of the lockdown. Anyone interested?
