I must note I admire their masking and its so detailed making it very clear they should be masked upon entering
" All visitors and patients that come into the hospital are required to wear a mask as per our Universal Masking policy, please make sure to put one on when you enter. Masking stations can be found at each of the entrances".

Also for what it is worth allow me to speculate a little I really think the US needs to double up on studying Canada, the UK, Australia, India etc. because its hard to tell how much the US will be reliable considering all the awful cuts in the US government .. that being said hopefully the US will have independent sources we can rely on. I remember in the first year or so of covid that I watched the US politicians and famous  actors get sick and that was all the news I got other than studying India and Australia about covid (There was period in time when To my observation It used to seem like the first variant were discovered in India then trickled into Australia  then to  UK then to America... now of course it might be that the variants start in America because recently  I remember America reporting variants before India got them .. it really seems like new variants are coming from America nowadays.. this all speculative on my part but it only adds to the shock and challenges we now face  the US politically is in the dark ages now and again I stress we will have to get creative about finding sources here in the states and elsewhere if we are going to keep up to date with covid such is the denial from many of those in political power right now. I mean it is an understatement when I say there is a changing of the guards in America.. I'll just be blunt and honest: America is screwed in the head right now. These morons are cutting so many programs it's not going to be pretty. Its the same reason history and certain kind of history classes aren't taught.. its denial on the part of certain political players that do nothing but that namely play. I hope these horrible cuts in programs get reversed when people see the necessity of programs that involve health and safety. Everybody deserves health and keeping people informed about the human condition and illnesses should be a universal right for all. You can't have a good work ethic or social structure without health amongst its members in society. I have heard that bird flu studies were cut by the government..talk about crazy!

Its obviously a denial problem .. there's so much scientific evidence.. X-ray's of little kid's chests damaged by long covid.. certain politicians don't believe in the electron microscope that tells us which variant is which I suppose. I guess politicians are afraid to acknowledge science because it challenges their perceived expertise on life and poses a threat to society in the sense society has to change behavior and habits and some laws and customs Sao as to address the virus problem... The politicians are like pro wrestlers or sports players that think we use brawn rather than brains when defending ourselves against microscopic entities.we have a lot of work ahead of us.

At least there's some common sense out there being documented by independent reporters such as Data Report and there's hope because we have the internet and social media which helps bring reality home worldwide with studies and communications unlike in previous history... I see this Canadian hospital is telling people not just to mask but to mask upon entrance and using the term 'universal masking'. That's good to see online and good for the world to see.

Sometimes when I get frustrated with what appears to be lack of progress, I have to remind myself that a little thing like a seed can get huge so the hope lies in when we think times are tough or overwhelming one little tiny thing like Canada adopting Mask usage could grow and grow. One tiny thing can eventually have a huge impact and grow exponentially which can be a good thing and gives me hope.

The Masked Man

P.S. my mask enables me to safely care for the sick if I chose to and were in that position .. I actually have the skills and the ppe and mask that would enable me to safely hug a sick child.. that’s something to brag about. Its nice to know this Canadian hospital might also be in a better position to care for the sick and hug a sick child because of masking like me!
