to my canadian friends. please be careful because covid is a level 4 for transmission in canada. please be safe <3
to everyone else, i know it’s really tempting to go out and have fun, especially because it’s a new year, there’s a big new movie out, and school is starting up too, so there really isn’t an option for some people to stay home.
but please, if you don’t have to leave the house, don’t. if you or anyone you live with goes out, make sure
you’re sanitizing your hands before you touch your face, anything at home or in the car
if there are children you interact with, they clean their hands before they touch anything or anyone, and PLEASE make sure they don’t put things in their mouths
WEAR A MASK! i know it can be annoying and not very breathable, but keep social distancing. wear the mask properly, with it secured over your nose and under your chin (or if you have a beard that it covers your mouth).
if you wear a face shield, make sure you wear something to cover your nose and mouth. covid is respiratory so while a face shield helps things from getting on you, it doesn’t prevent you from breathing in anything harmful
if you can get vaccinated, please do. there’s a third booster available, it is highly encouraged by medical professionals to get the booster if you can.
covid is like the flu — a hundred years ago, the flu killed a great deal of the population and has since decreased in volatility. but only because people got vaccinated and took precautions. please, please be safe.
