I hand out respirator/breatheteq masks to my patients to help them reduce their risk of getting COVID and Long COVID. Here's the letter I've put together about this for parents about children masking. @longcovidresource.bsky.social @longcovidadvoc.com @longcovidkids.bsky.social #longcovid

Letter with different typeface colours entitled, "Preventing Long COVID in Children". Text as follows: As described by the Public Health Agency of Canada1, Long COVID (also known as post-COVID-19 condition) affects children as well as adults. - It’s long-lasting symptoms after a known or unknown COVID infection. - The most common Long COVID symptoms in children are: Fatigue Headache Abdominal pain Sleep problems Shortness of breath Cognitive problems (difficulty thinking or concentrating) Muscle aches and joint pains I care for children with Long COVID. It can interfere with their social, physical and educational development. You do not want your child to develop Long COVID. While there are some promising therapies, there is no clear cure for Long COVID. The best way to prevent Long COVID is to prevent COVID infections. Since COVID is airborne, the best way to prevent COVID infections is to wear respirator-type masks (like N95s) all the time indoors. This is why I’m giving you this mask for your child to wear. I personally purchased these to hand out to my patients. This is how important it is to me, as your child’s doctor, for your child to mask: to protect their health. I know there will be times at school and other places where your child will want to remove their mask. Wearing a mask as much as possible in public indoor spaces will greatly reduce your child’s risk of getting COVID, which will reduce their risk of developing Long COVID. If they wear it 90% of the time, that’s still a huge win and way better than wearing it only 20% of the time, or not at all. > Key tip: shape the curve of the nose piece first, then put the mask on. 1 Post COVID-19 condition (long COVID): Symptoms and treatment. Public Health Agency of Canada. 8 January 2026. Accessed online at https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-infection/symptoms/post-covid-19-condition.html

TYSVM for this! As a parent, it’s an extremely heartening thing to see!❤️🙏 Looking forward to when PH units, children’s hospitals, school nurses etc. provide this info clearly so families & school/daycare staff can understand & protect themselves & each other accordingly. #WeAllShareIndoorAir

The choice to ignore COVID was airborne all along meant it spread everywhere and pretty much everyone on Earth has had it at least once, maybe 3 or more times. So 40M+ people died and easily a billion have Long COVID of some degree because women aerosol experts were dismissed by a non-expert man.

OMG. A family doctor ACTUALLY informing families of the risks of Covid & importance of masking, even in school. This shouldn’t astound me, this should be the norm! Thanks @drdavidkeegan.bsky.social, this is hope that there are Drs out there who know the truth & are helping people be safe & well 🫶😷

There is a huge difference between a balaclava and a 3M respirator. Why can’t the government see this is totally unacceptable. Those posting balaclavas calling them masks, please educate yourselves and start caring about vulnerable people fighting for our rights being eroded.
