Note how in BC, no schools have systematically tackled ventilation or filtration, save apparently for two in West Vancouver ... whereas they all could, and it isn't that expensive to do.

Once we acknowledge the SARS-CoV-2 virus is airborne, it becomes a very fixable problem. It makes zero sense that people are still walking into high risk indoor environments and getting infected.

Transplant recipients are at increased risk of dying from COVID. We are at the peak of the 6th wave and employees at the various transplant clinics are still wearing surgical masks.
Please upgrade to high quality N95 or greater masks.

2/ We really need to push our leaders to invest in improving ventilation and filtration in buildings. This has been shown to improve cognitive function & protects people not just from
#SARS2
&
#COVID19
but all other germs in the air! Start with schools! These are systemic issues!
