The Layered Approach recognizes that certain strategies might not be accessible or feasible for everyone. More tools provide more options and protection. —Check out the 14 strategies in our #LongCOVID Defense Guide on #MaskTogetherAmerica’s website: masktogetheramerica.org/layered-char...

"I wear a mask to keep myself and others safe from illnesses such as COVID and the flu. I'm immune compromised.” Behind the 💜KN95 is Claudia, who super-modeled for #MaskTogetherAmerica. 📸 @msjulieslam.bsky.social (It’s a great idea to dress up with a mask on to stay healthy 💜😷)

At LC Defense IV, Dr. Elham Raker emphasized the urgent need to include teens in #LongCOVID clinical trials, calling the lack of pediatric research devastating. As she powerfully stated: “Doing nothing is doing harm to these kids.”Watch forum

“I mask up to keep my friends and partners around me safe and myself as well!” Oliver cosplays as Vax'ildan. As @virusesimmunity.bsky.social implied in the @nytimes.com, a Long COVID wave is inevitable. Letting our guard down is like playing Russian Roulette. #MaskTogetherAmerica

October is Indoor Air Quality Awareness Month!  We spend 90% of our time indoors, yet clean indoor air remains overlooked in public health. Better ventilation, filtration, and evidence-based policies can change that. Clean indoor air should be a public health priority, not a privilege. #IAQ

COVID-19 hasn’t gone since 2020 and has always been airborne. We need a respirator mask mandate for everyone in healthcare settings. Not having one is causing it to spread more, and sicken and disable more. In room air filtration can also help. #abpoli #ableg edmontonjournal.com/news/covid-p...

At ophthalmologist yesterday, I brought N95s. His assistant, a med student, put it on but gaslit me on my Long COVID, showing disbelief of my nerve pain. Then my doc showed up maskless. I gave him an N95. He asked if I preferred it over the cloth mask he put on! Immune deficiency is on my chart. 😭

COVID IS AIRBORNE. That should fundamentally change how we prevent transmission. Ventilation matters. Air filtration matters. Respiratory protection matters. So why does healthcare IPC still struggle to fully reflect the science? shh-uk.org/five-ipc-... #SafeAir4All

At LC Defense IV, Dr. Elham Raker emphasized that in-depth physician training on Long COVID & its associated conditions is vital to helping the public understand this complex illness—which is creating a developmental crisis in children.

“CO2 at 2035 PPM says poor ventilation. #NYCC is a zoo this year! COVID is Not Over!” #MaskTogetherAmerica interviewed 33 maskers on the 1st day of 2026 @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social. Public health needs to prioritize prevention of aerosol - infection that triggers disabling chronic illness.

Ventilation at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social is super insufficient for the crowd this year. COVID and other pathogens are spreading. We need safer #IndoorAir. Take precautions. @msjulieslam.bsky.social at #NYCC #MaskTogetherAmerica

A mask protects you from all the pathogens spreading in the air! #IAmNYCC

My 2nd bout gave me a nodule on my lung. My dad and his wife were diagnosed with lung cancer within a couple of years after recovering from the same strain. They both died one year apart. Monitor your lungs for cancer and asthma.
