Ah, even better. You don't have to wear your mask in gyms in Canada when it *actually* counts the most. Brilliant. Look, folks, I'll say it straight out. United States and most of Europe have lost sight of the science of this pandemic. Inexcusable.https://twitter.com/benjamintdube/status/1316027523432542208 …

Yep. I have a CO2/VOC monitor I've been using to see how things are. Places are *drowning* in bleach etc. The people doing the cleaning—low-paid women—are breathing in enormous amounts of harmful stuff unnecessarily, and then we are (I measure it).https://twitter.com/akm5376/status/1316027790160928771 …

March, 2020: "Let's wear masks for a respiratory disease". "NOOO, they are harmful." Evidence? *crickets* October, 2020: "Let's drown everything in bleach and disinfectants!"

"If they were following guidelines, how did the outbreak happen?" "This remains unclear." Maybe something wrong with guidelines that allow "distanced" people panting indoors on very very very clean bikes? Seems mostly young people but won't always be. https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2020/10/15/how-were-so-many-infected-everything-you-need-to-know-about-hamiltons-spinco-outbreak.html …pic.twitter.com/5qBwVxEm8k

Anyone proposing Sweden as a contrarian example has *no idea* what they're talking about. Sweden had a more strict & early indoor gathering limit than most of Europe, never lifted it when others did & everyone 16+ is in virtual school. Japan! Try Japan!
