'...many patients with long COVID are already receiving care but are not being recognized as having the condition'. Exactly. I know so many people with Long Covid who don't know they have LC but they do know they developed a new condition after acute Covid-19. www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/lon...

WHO still isn’t talking about airborne Covid and even with the Covid inquiry stating 6 weeks ago that the guidance was ‘flawed’ and ‘Covid is airborne’ that there has been no change of guidance. There is still denial of airborne transmission. www.science.org/content/arti...

Institut Pasteur studied 13 newly diagnosed children with juvenile dermatomyositis and found all were SARS-CoV-2 antibody positive, with viral RNA detected in muscle biopsies from 2 Covid-era cases. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I disagree, there is already evidence of airborne risks. Governments it would seem have learned no lessons from COVID. Why are Doctors wearing FRSM masks? Why hasn’t the precautionary principle been applied. We already know when we cough it produces aerosols. When we vomit it’s aerosol producing 🧵

That is, it's a founder event. That is one of the main mechanisms of genetic drift. One concern is that it establishes enough to start evolving under selection in humans rather than drift. This is evolutionary biology 101 stuff.

Developmental disabilities due to unchecked repeated COVID infections..... Things will get worse if COVID infections are NOT prevented.

Pretty clear signals of a new COVID-19 wave in NSW, with reported cases growing in recent weeks to the highest level in ~9 months. From the detailed variant data, it looks like "Nimbus" sub-lineage RK.1 is driving. RK.1 adds the Spike D420N mutation to PQ.17.7.2.

“Did the virus itself cause some kind of change in our brains? Because *something* happened & for some reason it's not being talked about enough.” Yes, it did—& importantly, it continues to do so bcs the pandemic didn’t actually end. There are other factors sure, but it’s the virus, too. #COVID

Another friend with new Long COVID symptoms😔 Trying my best to help. People have to prevent COVID infections. They think they are invincible. COVID doesn't care what you think.

“His lungs were so inflamed from COVID and asthma that they just couldn’t handle it” An 8 year old boy died after being given a dairy despite requesting a vegan ice cream treat A heartbreaking reminder of how serious food allergies can be, and of the impact COVID is still having on health outcomes

Thank you for trying, @dickzoutman.bsky.social !

I sent them a boat load of the published evidence that COVID, flu, RSV, measles,TB etc were airborne and that physicians to do no harm needed to wear an N95 continuously in the office, clinic and hospital.

So for anyone in Ontario wondering why infection control practice is so backwards here even away from the usual suspects, it turns out there's misinformation embedded directly in the CPSO infection control guidance, which incorrectly directs physicians to wear a medical mask for airborne pathogens.🙄

If their hypothesis is true, improving air filtration and air quality not only protects others from catching your sickness but also helps protect you from your own sickness. 16/

All participants in this high air quality group had very high viral loads in their throats and noses, but did not progress into lung damage. 12/

Filtering the air may help prevent your own infection from becoming more severe If everyone in a household becomes infected with the same virus, does it help to isolate from each other and can you be a danger to yourself? Read on to find out... 🧪🧵1/ #AirQuality #IAQ #Ventilation #Infection #COVID

Ta da! Norovirus is airborne. "Results showed vomiting generated substantial aerosols instantaneously, and subsequent cleaning disturbed settled particles, increasing airborne pathogen concentrations by 54% compared with pre-cleaning levels." www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/blo... Covid causes lung damage, long covid in children has now overtaken asthma in the US. Over 6 million children there have long covid.

'Prevention of COVID/Long COVID must not be a 'lost cause'. @juliadoubleday.bsky.social Reality: airborne viruses spread more easily in poorly ventilated classrooms, high-quality HEPA filtration could help bring down transmission!' 👇RECOVER study PASC in children www.thegauntlet.news/p/long-covid...

Is #LongCovid going away? Data show it is not. In a cohort study with 457.950 Covid cases, 1 in 6 patients developed Long Covid. Prevalence is 13-23% of US population, increasing 0.4%-1.5% every 3 months. Cases remained stable through 2022 but started to increase in late 2023.

Dear Employers. If your workers are dying because you think they aren’t using PPE properly… guess whose fault that is. Training. Reaccreditation. Oversight. Audit. Employee selection. Employee deselection. You can’t just blame employees and carry on regardless.

Q100s are my choice of respirator 100% while in public indoor spaces. Easy breathing respirator. Perfect for PE teachers too. Healthcare & education facilities should be offering these for free to all attendees to help prevent airborne pathogen spread. Baggy blues are blockers (not good filters).

Peel Elementary Teachers Local will be voting at the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario Annual General Meeting to support these motions for cleaner indoor air, improved training for teachers & students re: air quality & prevention of airborne pathogen spread.

1/ "This outbreak is moving at a terrifying speed. I have responded to several #Ebola outbreaks over the years, but this is the fastest spread I have ever seen - reliefweb.int/report/democ...

The incidence and prevalence of #LongCovid worse than anticipated in the US, with 1 of 6 persons affected, and of these 89% had at least 1 chronic condition requiring management. From 58 hospitals, 4 regions, 457,950 patients. Prevalence increased thru mid 2024. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Canadian COVID Forecast: May 23 - Jun 5, 2026 SEVERE: none VERY HIGH: none HIGH: NL MODERATE: CAN, AB, BC, MB, North, NS, ON, PEI, QC, SK About 1 in 314 people in Canada are CURRENTLY infected.

Canadian COVID Forecast May 23 - Jun 5, 2026 ONTARIO MODERATE [no change] About 1 of every 367 people is infected. Compared to lowest point of pandemic in Canada: -Infections: 6.5 x higher -Long COVID: 4.7 x higher -Hospitalizations: 2.8 x higher -Deaths: 1.7 x higher

This is Long COVID. Rest hard is needed more and more these days. Sleep whenever you can get it😔

Abstractive expertise: epistemic humility, adaptive thinking, cognitive flexibility, integrative thinking, curiosity and more. Cf. my recent conversation on empathy in psychotherapy with Dr Douglas Flemons. These skills combine to create an empathic response! onpsych.buzzsprout.com/1483819/epis...

Major flaws in EQAO administration as usual. Child who has been absent must complete sections upon their return to school, but needs quiet (a different room to work)....but support teachers do not have EQAO invigilator access to manage students. So what? ...

Society believes (ignorantly) that their previous COVID infections not leading to Long COVID means they likely will never get it. Wrong. Any COVID infection can lead to Long COVID & a full upheaval of life as you know it. So why don't they prevent new COVID infections? PPE is an inconvenience🤯

I try to stay as professional as possible on here, but the recent spate of tweets I've seen on Twitter / X bemoaning that 'things just haven't been the same since 2020' or similar and then utterly ignoring the ongoing impact of SARS-CoV-2 infuriates me. Denial and ignorance in equal measure.

Does it help at all if I say that what we are worried about with #Ebola is infectious aerosol? Just forget the word airborne for a minute, only because it makes people in the science world confused.

This is amazing news — especially for kids like mine with chronic lung disease and asthma. Imagine not having to worry about respiratory infections?!? Can't come soon enough!!
