I started a petition yesterday for free N95 masks. It already passed a thousand signatures last night, so I hope we keep this ๐Ÿ“ˆ. This was on the same day Canadaโ€™s reported Covid deaths in 2022 surpassed the totals of 2020 and 2021.

So interesting. Amazing Race has continued by chartering planes, ensuring everyone is vaccinated and tested, and whenever they interact with anyone outside of the showโ€™s bubble, they all wear KN95 masks. What does this tell us? eonline.com/amp/news/13150โ€ฆ
