Is not utilising all the tools available to us to prevent disease, accepting unnecessary infections? I think it is, why not give the messaging and let the Public decide? There is no messaging on airborne risks. If more people tried wearing a respirator and saw how easily it could save them from ..

Search interest for illness at the world cup in the US is almost off the charts.

I’ve been following Dr Mackay for ages and ages (long before Covid) specifically for his Australian flu data, because I always want to know what is coming for us in Canada

I don’t trust anyone who hasn’t been changed by the pandemic.

This week, people who have been abandoned, neglected, or have "fallen by the wayside" have been attacked. Thank you to those who have pointed out, eloquently, that attacking people in poor health is a way to distract from the real issue. By The Wayside (Slim Francis cover)

Given the choice between people and machines, please my friend, choose people. Given the choice between people and viruses, please my friend, choose people. Given the choice, everyday you are given the choice, so please my friend, choose carefully.

Several of the people under hantavirus quarantine have now returned home though they will have “continued monitoring” for the next three weeks, and though this is certainly a promising sign, you should probably wait three weeks before celebrating.

According to a headline “Hospitals See Diseases Resurge as Vaccinations Decline,” which is a reminder that this is not an era of plague, but an era of plagues, and which is also a reminder that too many people are siding with the plagues.

Monday we officially launched our national county-level COVlD heatmap and called on the CDC to do the same. They have not updated their main wastewater map yet. However, the CDC did update their main ED forecasting map with county-level data. #KeepFighting

As Hantavirus and Ebola Cases Rise, #LongCOVID Is Being Forgotten - nonprofitquarterly.org/as-hantaviru...

The friend who I have known for a very long time told me she is worried that the pandemic has changed me, and in response I told her that I am far more worried about those who have not been changed by the pandemic, and I could immediately tell she did not like my response.

I wear a mask for several reasons. One of them is that we can reasonably expect positive developments in other areas - clean air, vaccines, better testing, far-UVC. I'm not an expert on any of these things, but I do know that understanding of disease can improve over time.

It’s Time For People With Chronic Illnesses To Stop Banging On About It

I just wish Canada was going all in on clean air. Take these billions and improve ventilation in every school, childcare facility, Drs office. There would be more benefit.

Hi Bluesky friends! We're delighted to announce a new podcast episode from our "Breathe This" podcast series, with our guest speaker @adamvanbavel.bsky.social

Entomologists worry about the bugs circulating in Texas. Programmers worry about the bugs that are in the AI code. Epidemiologists worry about the bugs everyone keep contracting. And as for me, I worry about the people who aren’t bugged by any of this.

10 COVID vaccines deep, still alive.

When you hear it said that the screwworm poses a threat to cattle and to livestock and to other animals, please understand that “other animals” includes you.

I'm smiling because I'm sitting on the top deck of a bus, at the front.

By this point you have likely heard how the USDA has confirmed that screwworm has been detected in Texas, but it is important to understand this does not mean “we’re screwed,” though it is further proof that the screws holding this society together are coming loose.

Unfortunately despite always showing kids their smiles, teachers are finding kids are having a harder time learning these days.* *breathing viruses into kids faces hasn’t worked either

Unfortunately, despite always showing patients their smiles, most doctors haven’t been unable to cure their patients’ illnesses.* *breathing in their patients faces hasn’t worked either

Long COVID is an existential threat to all of the psychiatrists who have loudly attached themselves to pseudoscientific explanations for the illness. I've been saving quotes and have some funny (horrifying) ones, that I think are important to preserve for historical accuracy.

Positive thinking is not going to cure chronic illness. Articles like the Long Covid Wired piece will only make it harder for disabled patients to get care. It gives family, friends and doctors more reasons to gaslight us and tell us to “try harder”. Our community deserves better.

I have a friend who remembers every person they have kissed. I have a friend who remembers every movie she has watched. I have a friend who remembers every city he has visited. I have a friend who remembers every day she is in a pandemic.

Listen: you must understand it would be too difficult (much too difficult) to retrain this society into realizing the pandemic isn’t over, or to retrain people into protecting themselves and others, which is why they’ll say that you just need to retrain your brain.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

On XTwitter, tern aka @1goodtern.bsky.social used his sharp mind to analyze the many issues with that LC article published recently by Wired. Here's a 🧵 I assembled of the first 50 of tern's "ten clues" (yes, tern often under-promises & over-delivers😉): docs.google.com/document/d/e...

Its a great day to be fully masked and Covid aware!

To everyone still masking in 2026: You are smart & beautiful. Do not ever doubt that you are doing what is right - morally, as well as practically. Protecting yourself, your loved ones & your community does not need to be justified. We ALL deserve accessibility, health & safety. 😷✊️✌️❤️

After I used the phrase 
“during the early years 
of the pandemic,”
he quizzically replied:
“why not just say 
during the pandemic?”
and before I could stop myself 
I replied: “because I was talking
about the past, and during the pandemic is the present.”

When you are told (and, alas, you will be) that Covid and Long Covid “are just in your head,” respond by directing them to the studies that have found how this virus impacts the heart, the kidneys, the GI tract, and also explain that, yes, this virus impacts the brain too.

Please, my friend, do not despair if you find yourself unable to convince anyone that the pandemic isn’t over, after all, my friend, catching Covid repeatedly isn’t enough to convince them either, but please, my friend, keep trying to convince them, please keep trying.

Huh. Another cancer risk increased by COVID. Imagine that.

If you still mask and acknowledge that Covid still exist and that Long Covid is real. Be proud that you are Covid aware as most now a days are not.

This is, by far, the best response to that asinine Wired article yet. 🏆

I'm no expert on Long COVID, but it doesn't seem likely that it's all in the mind. If I take my mask off and get COVID, which parts of my body might be affected? (Enjoy this song about the intersection of religion, ideology, science, and medicine) Where Is My Mind? (Pixies cover)

Apparently, one of the US cruise passengers quarantining due to hantavirus has decided to continue quarantining for the full 42 days, and though some are telling him he’s overreacting, and some are telling him he’s a fool, what we should be telling him is “thank you.”
