CATA (Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance) has today issued this press release ahead of next Thursday's publication of the Inquiry's module 3 report: tinyurl.com/CATA-press-r...

I have serious questions on what types of doctors will be listed. There are unfortunately grifters who take advantage of desperate people.

Long-COVID prevalence may vary by #COVID-19 variant, time since infection The prevalence of the condition was 29% overall, though it dropped to 23% once the Omicron strain started to dominate. www.cidrap.umn.edu/c...

Trying not to get scammed, upsold or duped when trying to find help for long covid/mecfs is HARD. Folks have identified there is a growing need here and are swooping in to try and make some cash. So if scammers and actuaries can see the need why can’t everyone else?

1/ It's the same in 🇨🇦Canada. And just as politically cynical -

It’s unreal to me that 6 yrs post declaration of the pandemic ppl still don’t understand why I would wear an N95 at work (in an ICU) or in public. That IPAC and public health won’t recognize Covid is predominantly airborne and that engineers can make spaces safer. www.ashrae.org/about/news/2...

Omg 👀 This reminds me of when I was a teenager and people were drinking cough syrup to get high

We have got to win clean indoor air.

6th anniversary of the declaration of the pandemic this week but also I would like to remind folks that the vaccine for kids under 5 wasn’t approved until summer 2022, at which point vaccination rates had sharply declined. Fewer than 10% of kids under 5 in 🇨🇦 received ONE dose. As time goes on … /1

"findings demonstrate that hospital air acts as not only a reservoir for environmental pathogens but also a potential conduit for microbial exchange with healthcare personnel." Hospital acquired infections are a policy choice 🤬. Clean the air and #MaskUp already!! www.dovepress.com/hospital-air...

Breaking: Liberal govt today voted down No More Loopholes Act, legislation that would have closed major loophole that allows Canadian military exports to reach Israel through US. This loophole has connected Canada to ICE operations, Israeli genocide, and US attack on Venezuela. Arms Embargo Now!

The immune system is not a muscle. It is a cleansing fire. It causes collateral damage. It has a limited supply of fuel. It can get out of control. Don’t burn your whole house down every time by catching every disease without caution.

March 15, 2026 is International Long COVID Awareness Day! One of many many events includes lighting up buildings, monuments and other landmarks around the world with teal and grey lights! Here is a list of known locations around the world: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Dysautonomia International @dysautonomia.bsky.social has an email tool to ask Congress to support dysautonomia research and care: #POTS #LongCovid #NEISvoid

During a crash, people with ME/CFS may struggle to think, speak, or process information. Communication cards can help patients point to needs like food, medication, pain, light sensitivity, comfort items, or emergencies. Download them in our Crash Survival Guide: bit.ly/44MgSS9

Study links working while sick to higher risk of future absence Employees who work while sick have a roughly 30% higher likelihood of later absenteeism than those who don’t. www.cidrap.umn.edu/p...

I’ve got a “women’s problems” scandal for you: #ME/CFS. #greatestmedicalscandal A government inquiry in 2020 said an arrogant culture in which serious medical complications were dismissed as "women's problems" had contributed to a string of healthcare scandals over several decades.”

👭 On #InternationalWomensDay we honour the women with Long Covid and ME and allies who keep pushing for truth, research, and care. ♀️Listen to women. Fund the science.

Women are too often dismissed when it comes to their health told it’s “anxiety”, “your age” or “all tests are normal” #LongCovid is following a pattern many women already know. Women living with Long Covid deserve to be heard, believed and supported. #IWD2026 #NoMoreGaslighting

Why is public health like this? We need clean air and we need public health to do its damn job

I wonder how many people realize this is the norm. “Households containing an adult w/a work-disability require, on average…an additional $17,690/year…to obtain the same standard of living as a comparable household w/o a member w/a disability.” www.nationaldisabilityinstitute.org/reports/extr...

So like, what is my actual workable solution here? - respirators required in healthcare - clean air in schools and on buses; supported staying home for sick kids and workers - being honest with the public about airborne transmission; respirators and rapid tests free to public - remote work! Etc

PART 2 - Prevalence of Long Covid Professor Danny Altmann, Immunologist at Imperial College London and Trustee of Long Covid Support, explains why the number of Long Covid cases in the UK is increasing . #LongCovid #LongCovidAwareness #ProfessorDannyAltmann #LongCovidSupport

Wastewater levels for Ontario, released today, March 6th, 2026…otherwise known as “during COVID” wwater.ca/Ontario

Why does no one seem to care that healthcare acquired infection levels are MASSIVE and DEADLY and COSTLY?

The real harms of the unchecked spread of airborne illness have never been made transparent to the public. And so here we are today, in ignorance. This season only about 50% of the people who got flu vaccines got their covid vaccine. Intentional downplaying of harms of covid continues to harm us.

How did let it rip work out for us? How has it been 4 full years since then and we still have a healthcare system denying airborne transmission. Municipalities display no new knowledge of how disease spreads. Have heard of no entity improving IAQ, except schools which we have pushed so hard for.

It is useful, and prudent, to make a distinction between vaccine hesitancy and vaccine resistance. For example, there are many reasons why certain racialized and minoritized communities might hold onto questions about vaccines because of their histories with the state and colonization.../

Tackling air pollution should be part of government work to cut cancer rates, scientists say https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/mar/06/tackle-air-pollution-cut-cancer-rates-scientists ↷ canadahealthwatch.ca/insights 🍁

incredibly cool to see my upcoming @invisibooks.bsky.social book, A Nation of Tinkerers, featured on this list of nonfiction titles CBC Books is excited about this spring. the first day of summer is June 21st, and my book drops June 16, so as usual i'm in under the wire! www.cbc.ca/books/50-plu...

One of the simplest ways to protect yourself is wearing an N95 (or better) respirator mask. Covid-19 vaccination has also been shown to be protective in numerous studies. #LongCovidHeartbeats #LongCovid #ILCAD2026 #LongCovidAwareness #hearthealth 2/3

There is strong research evidence that Covid-19 and Long Covid increase the risk of many cardiovascular conditions, including heart attacks, clotting events, POTS, vascular ageing and more. #LongCovidHeartbeats #LongCovid #ILCAD2026 #LongCovidAwareness #hearthealth 1/3

Several babies in the NICU have COVID. In general we take things very seriously in the NICU. COVID, however, gets brushed off. None of us knows the potential long-term effects of a COVID infection on a premature immune system. We should take it seriously. So the babies know we care.

This should be a huge fucking wake-up call to every level of government playing footsie with fascists and their pals in ‘law enforcement.’ These people are by far the biggest threat to public safety - not protesters, not encampment dwellers, not people using drugs. Fascists.

Two white nationalists I exposed in a recent article showed up to try to intimidate me in person last night. This is a press freedom issue. Here’s what happened:

I’m in lots of pain so pretty much everything is annoying me today, but the pipeline of tech person -> long covid -> health start up is getting ridiculous. You’re not gonna cure yourself nor will your AI start up. Make community, advocate and get MORE FUNDING FOR THE NIH AND LABS!

[Exit Murderer.]

Long-COVID can affect anyone, and currently there are no approved cures. The best prevention is avoiding infection—e.g. through vaccination and proper masking. #COVID #LongCOVID #Health #Disability #Economics #Vaccines #Masking

I often stop and think about how we’re letting COVID circulate with very low vax rates (pls get vaxxed if poss), no clean air, no treatment for Long Covid—and public health isn’t even encouraging basic precautions like masking, or warning that Long Covid is a risk. And it makes me very angry tbh.

PM says he won't rule out joining the US/Israel war even as he says "It appears that these actions are inconsistent with international law." We are being set up here folks. Contact your MP. Contact the PM tell them we can't go along with this illegal war. nationalnewswatch.com/2026/03/04/c...

How many disabled people are there? Graphic from the CDC.

When I got long covid four years ago, the waiting room at the local long covid clinic was mostly women, mostly older. About two years ago I noticed that most of the other patients are now kids. It's staggering to see how many kids are winding up with #LongCovid. #WearAMask #CovidIsntOver

Every COVID infection adds risk, not protection. The more times someone is infected, the higher their risk of developing Long COVID. Reducing infections is one of the most important ways to protect long-term health. The Five Pillars of Protection help lower risk by layering prevention strategies:

We need more ventilation in schools. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We haven’t seen many narratives about — or for — kids whose family members have #LongCOVID. Author and educator Sara Robitaille seeks to change that with her two new children’s books, Long COVID Transformed My Mommy and Long COVID Transformed My Sister into a Turtle. bit.ly/4csWXfE

OMFG 😱
