Calgary school board has been terrible, hiding behind fake equity concerns as an excuse to do nothing (for kids and staff). I'm not familiar with what TDSB has been up to. @onschoolsafety.bsky.social @mamatoronto.bsky.social @drsmith.bsky.social @davidelfstrom.bsky.social may have comments?

Science doesn’t punish bad ideas. People do—when they can’t handle the implications.

Now? AJ Leonardi The 1st to sound the alarm that COVID depletes T cells & drives immune exhaustion, & paid the professional price for telling the truth early. The pattern is consistent: When evidence threatens comfort, power, or profit, the messenger is attacked before the message is understood.

All TDSB schools and sites, including child care centres, are closed today due to the weather forecast.

School is one of THE largest sources of community spread of infectious disease, and in particular, the airborne pathogen that causes lasting and cumulative neurological damage in adults, children, and even the fetus. At what point are we going to care about brain [email protected]

1. Very important study - and the primary reason I avoid infection. 'The long-term impact of COVID-19 may be consequential years after the infection and give rise to long-term illnesses including neurocognitive problems similar to what is seen in Alzheimer's disease'.

The closing of ~80% of #LongCOVID clinics—which provided services that PCPs couldn’t—due to funding cuts, provider burnout and lack of approved treatments, is leaving ‘millions’ of LC patients to suffer without care. @scienceline.org 🧵 scienceline.org/2026/01/long...

If you're wondering how the medical community can ignore a disease that causes all of the damage laid out in the thread below, take note of the fact that continuing medical education processes are so outdated and ineffectual that many can't even recognize #longCOVID when they get it themselves.

New important publication in #LongCovid & #MECFS! After a viral infection, cells lining our blood vessels can become damaged and enter senescence, similar to accelerated aging. These cells are not healthy, but they also don’t disappear. Instead, they send out constant stress & inflammatory signals.

It continues to astound the response to SARS2 is a collective shrug, as if no one’s aware previously there was a deadly SARS1. (It was contained at least in part because we had a functioning CDC then.) On top of that, the loss of smell & taste = NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE—not a simple “stuffy nose.” #COVID

We don’t know who needs to hear this, but the flu is getting out of hand. And we needed to make a post about it. Here are our pretty direct thoughts, because sometimes our social media manager/infographic designer is tired & can’t think of a way to put it more gently. Please make good choices. (1/2)

There is no virus that “only” causes serious harm in people who are high-risk. And even if there were, it would still be important to protect yourself and others. Please take steps to prevent getting and spreading illness in order to protect your own health and the health of others.

If I were paid to do this job, I'd be in the media and on social media every day. I'd say: 1)get vaccinated for covid and the flu. 2) wear a respirator (N95) mask in crowded indoor spaces like public transit. 3) keep your holiday get-togethers safe by keeping things well ventilated and filtered.

Just a note to say we are back after our break! Hoping people managed some radical rest over the holidays. Anything interesting happened in the community?!

Flu in kids is not just fever and aches. Clinicians are seeing sudden confusion, trouble staying awake, and kids saying things that do not make sense. These can be neurologic symptoms and need urgent care. #Flu #Kids

Scaling a school district-wide indoor air quality sensor network. In 2022, @bostonschools.boston.gov launched an indoor air quality monitoring initiative that has made the district a nationally and globally recognized leader in creating healthier school environments. www.usgbc.org/articles/sca...

We welcome this leadership. Our letter to UK education ministers, backed by national organisations, charities, public health experts and senior MPs calls for the same practical action. Boston shows what is possible when indoor air quality is taken seriously. The UK is asking for action.

This is precisely why I refuse to eat in any public indoor spaces. Unless they can prove their air quality is excellent, and the risk of airborne pathogen spread is near zero, then they are losing customers. Takeout...maybe. Apricot Tree Café -definitely a great model for all restaurants to follow.

Fixed it for you: “This flu season has been rough. Clean air and respirators can help.” Because an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Regular facemasks good for stopping spit? Yup. But stopping aerosolized viral particles from entering shared air and being inhaled? Nope. That’s why respirators (which don’t just filter) are key. www.theguardian.com/global-devel... I’ve bought them for all my patients to have for free. #abpoli

Today is our 4th anniversary! Since 2022, we’ve been sending free respirator masks 😷 on request to people across Canada 🇨🇦. Help us continue to protect your neighbours. 🩵 Donate today: donatemask.ca/donate #WeKeepUsSafe #StillMasking #SoManyReasonsToMask #Anniversary

Toronto friends - are you sick of being sick? We spend most of our time indoors, yet there are no laws or regulations that directly govern indoor air quality. Health Canada has new new IAQ (indoor air quality) guidelines, now we need them to be adopted.
