The wife of the 44 year-old man who died this week in Edmonton after waiting 8 hrs in the ER with chest pain was told by hospital security staff she was "being rude" Are you supposed to just be super calm & polite while your spouse dies a preventable death in the hospital?

Make. It. Stop!!! Wear a respirator. This is all preventable. Breathe clean uncontaminated air. Wear a mask. You won’t drink contaminated water, why breathe dirty air? There’s lots of equipment to help you.

More and more young patients who were fit and well with long covid symptoms. They tell me that something changed since the last Covid infection. I have very rarely referred patients to immunology in the past. Now I refer at least once a month. Covid kills and maims.

I am freaking tired and getting “charred” from seeing all these sick patients. I’m talking about fit and well young ones. Who now have immune dysfunction. Unwell. Even rhinovirus floors them and sent some to hospital and some was housebound for a week. I’ve never seen this pre covid.

Kids get Long Covid. Kids die at 4× the rate of flu from acute infection (that 7–10 days you felt sick, didn’t test, went back to work, and spread it). LC has no cure. 1 in 3 risk lasting damage. LC can & will destroy lives. Probably yours & your kids’ if you don’t utilize airborne protections.

If you see firefighters👩🚒👨🚒wearing masks— there is a reason—they work. Wearing a well-fitting, high-quality mask like N95, P100 or better, can protect you from wildfire smoke and respiratory viruses like flu, COVID-19 and RSV. ➡️I also recommend a HEPA filter for your home & car.
