sharing this for awareness for all individuals, please remember to be kind to one another, and please do not rush to judge if one has to take a mask off for a while, all humans end up doing this, we must continue to take care and support one another, respect one another, it can be done if we continue to do things in a respectful and mindful manner

masks will have their pros and cons, and we are currently dealing with a case that does put many in a funny situation, due to the limits a mask can do upon one, covid-19 is a respitory virus, many organs rely on proper oxygen, one who already has difficulties with getting proper oxygen will be put on an even a higher risk level, to where it could give covid-19 the advantage on attacking that human host faster, one with a heart condition will be affected by wearing a mask, one with asthma will be affected by wearing a mask, one who relies on lip reading will be affected by a regular mask with no “clear screen”

humans communicate a lot through facial expressions, and by not having accesses to facial communication, that can also lead to mixed messages, verbal speech language isn’t original/natural to human species, body and facial communication is, verbal speech language wuz developed overtime as our ancestors “grew” overtime

also when breathing in our own personal oxygen within the mask, our CO2 levels are elevated in the body, which can cause increased blood pressure, headaches, muscle twitches, rapid heart rate, chest pain, confusion, and fatigue, of course every human is different, so not all will experience this, some might experience mild symptoms, some might right away, some might over time and so on

“ Face masks are dangerous to the health of some Canadians and problematic for some others.

In recommending people wear masks in public to prevent the spread of COVID-19, national chief public health officer Theresa Tam has also warned against judging those who can’t wear them.

“Be very aware of those with different types of different abilities those who are hearing impaired and others,” Dr. Tam said.

“Don’t assume that someone who isn’t wearing a mask or is wearing something different doesn’t have an actual reason for it.”

Asthma Canada president and CEO Vanessa Foran said simply wearing a mask could create risk of an asthma attack.

She said if a mask inhibits the ability of someone to breathe in any way, they recommend not wearing one.

Foran suggests asthmatics wear a mask in their home for 20 minutes to test their comfort level before venturing out, and also to head out in cooler weather.

“Wearing masks means breathing hot and humid air, so that can trigger asthma symptoms,” she said.

“We say if they cannot wear a mask, they must ensure they’re maintaining physical distancing and practising good hand hygiene.”

Foran said people with severe allergies might also find wearing a mask difficult at this time of year.

Autism Canada family support representative Dominique Payment said individuals with the autism/other different abilities have trouble with sensory processing, as well as tactile, olfactory and nervous-system hypersensitivity that wearing a mask could aggravate.

“It could cause some serious challenges,” she said. “Because their senses are so heightened, it affects everything.”

Payment has two children on the autism spectrum. One is anxious about masks because he associates them with having his teeth cleaned at the dentist, which he dislikes.

“Unfortunately this whole COVID situation and everyone wearing masks can cause some anxiety for these children because they are associating with not-so-positive experiences,” she said.

Payment said having children put a mask on a favourite stuffed animal, or choosing fabric colour and pattern for a mask, could help prepare them to wear on

individuals who are deaf/hard of hearing can’t read lips covered by an opaque mask, which also muffles sound for those who are hearing impaired

Clovis Bernard wrote in a post on the Canadian Hard of Hearing Association website earlier this month that situations are difficult to navigate in this pandemic.

“The new reality is that it is recommended to wear a mask or a face covering while going out, to reduce the community spread of the coronavirus,” Bernard wrote.

“Unfortunately, it also covers up the faces that we rely so much on for understanding people.

“Maybe you are nervous about asking people to pull down their masks so you can understand them, but it is as if you are asking them to expose themselves to a health risk.”

He said in his experience, most people are more than willing to lower their masks for a quick second for you provided the circumstance is safe to do so.

The Alaska-based company Rapid Response PPE has developed face masks with clear shields so hearing-impaired people can see facial cues and lip movement.

Face masks can be problematic, dangerous to health of some Canadians: advocates "Don't assume that someone who isn't wearing a mask or is wearing something different doesn't have an actual reason for it," Canada's chief health officer warned.

• If you are unwell or showing symptoms please stay home, call Healthlink at 8-1-1 and we hope you feel better soon. If you choose to show up and appear unwell the barbers have been given permission to ask you to leave and come back when feeling better

• costumers are to show up with clean hair

• If possible please avoid coming in for a cut if coming from directly from work or spending time in crowded public spaces. As we need to keep the risk low for everybody.

• As much as we love seeing your families we ask that only those getting a haircut be at the shop

• If coming in for kids cuts please make sure your kids are well and that you try to limit the visit to 1 adult and 1 child to avoid over crowding

This is a learning experience for all of us, We ask that you do your best to follow the guidelines laid out BC’s Public Health and Safety Ministers and Work Safe BC.
