Quebec lifted their mask mandate

Found at: republic.circumlunar.space:70/~slugmax/phlog/2022-07-05-pandemic-update

Quebec lifted their mask mandate for indoor public spaces (except
for hospitals and clinics) at the end of May. I think that was a
mistake given the transmissibility of the virus and its ability to
mutate, not to mention the affects of long COVID which are becoming
more apparent. We still wear an N95 mask when out in public, but not
many here are doing that now. Wearing a mask is such a simple thing
- why not do it?

		
Cases have been low here so far this summer, but are just starting
to rise, following the lead of other countries in Europe and parts
of the US. I think it's just a matter of time before we are fully
into a new wave of infections. Will this wave lead to more
hospitalizations? No idea, but it may not matter. I predict that in
a year or so we will be grappling with a sharp increase in
disabilities due to long COVID.
