When the *many* sources of pollution are growing/worsening all around us... We need to clean it ourselves *any* *way* *we* *can* People need to come/work together to survive modern life. 👉 Seeing people come together like THIS is a solid example ✊️😊 👏👏👏 youtu.be/3VJT2JeDCyw?...

Do you smoke?? 👉 are you sure?... Current air quality in many places in BC has millions of people basically smoking the equivalent to multiple cigarettes a day. We. Can. Do Something 💪😷 Empower our community with info/tools 🤩 Here is a presentation on how/why 1drv.ms/p/c/b8007949...

Dear colleagues, “We do not have to test for COVID…” Is not a reason to avoid testing for it where it is clinically indicated. Sick people that would benefit from treatment are a must test group, at the very least. #Medsky

Dear colleagues. If you won't test for C19/Flu/RSV for your patient's sake, be selfish and do it for yourself. Test, then suspected cases will be isolated so they don't infect staff, preventing you from having to do extra overtime when they all call in sick. Enlightened selfishness!

Before & after Forced car dependency can be fixed. We can rework our streets & cities to support safety, health, comfort & mobility for everyone. When we do so, we all benefit w/: -fewer car crashes -cleaner air -healthier & happier residents -more connected communities 1/2

Shout out to all the folks at Quest working hard today. 👏👏👏👏 The lineup for food/hampers is long this year. The delivery truck is late 😅 💫 But we are all smiling, grateful and filled with joy to take part in this wonderful work. 🙏 Thank you! questoutreach.org

Fantastic!

The relative humidity (RH) in my office today is around 20%. It's that time of year, when indoor RH is low and respiratory viruses thrive. Why? /1

Reminder that our opinion on masks aren’t in a vacuum Anti-maskers have made oncology clinics and public spaces *more* hostile to mask wearers than they were before Covid began It’s extra important we loudly promote masking to protect cancer patients www.cancertherapyadvisor.com/features/lac...

Sorry, Sir, but Horrific is a pre-existing condition.

New studies suggest COVID variants may cause more severe disease. Big caveat is these studies are on cells in a lab so we need to see if the observations translate in the real world. Key takeaway is to not assume variants are becoming weaker. It’s important to take precautions during this surge.

I had a mixture of positive and negative reactions to bringing my first warp core DIY purifier plus Nukit far UV torches to a holiday event yesterday. No one really got it, but some were kind about it @nukit.bsky.social

Corsi-Rosenthal CR box- DIY air filter, much cheaper than proper filter also can be more effective. Essentially box fans with HEPA/MERV filters, all taped up securely. Loads of guides online, simple to complex. All budgets. Can be very colourful... I need to buy the googly eyes!!

We aren't going to lockdown our way out of it We aren't going to vax and relax our way out of it We •are• going to revolutionize our way out of it Not just •out• of it, but above it. To something so much better that WHEN we finally see/embody/understand, We will run to it as fast as we can

Did you miss yesterday’s Clean Air Expo? With dozens of speakers and hundreds of attendees, it was a rousing success! If you missed it, you can check out the full event at the link www.youtube.com/watch?v=Udlb...

Stay safe.

There is always more money for war. But never more money for healthcare, vaccines, masks, Long COVID treatments, clean air, green jobs, clean energy, climate reparations etc.

This is really terrifying & what #CoupByMedia looks like. One faux manufactured “scandal” after another, that amounted to nothing other than a political hit job. This is the result. 🇨🇦 poised to elect a fascist gov’t of unfit chaos agents. https://www.338canada.ca/p/liberals-in-free-fall-cpc-widens

A new study suggests that depleted serotonin due to remnants of the coronavirus in the gut could explain memory problems and some neurological and cognitive symptoms of Long Covid.

Thank you for the kind words! If you're in Canada and need N95s our request program will ship them to you, free of charge: requestmask.ca

Don't be surprised if you don't hear even a peep from groups like Parents Defending Education and Moms For Liberty, who made their initial splash opposing COVID school closures. Don't be surprised if the folks at the Brownstone Institute are silent. It was never about the kids.

"The only masking that’s going on is that of the government’s continued failure to get to grips with the virus" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Tuberculosis cases in London have reached the highest level in years, data shows, as experts warned that the world is “losing the battle” to eliminate the virus.

Feels like a good time to check in with each other. Can you tell me something (anything really!) unrelated to the troubling stuff these days? Random Fact? Random Joke? Random Story?

A 33-year-old Spirit Airlines Inc. pilot sued Unum Life Insurance Co. of America for monthly disability benefits of nearly $5,300, saying her long-haul Covid symptoms make her ineligible to fly a commercial plane.

Thanks for masking! 😷

I support the call by #LongCovidKids that the @covidinquiryuk appoint a paediatric Long Covid expert witness to help them understand what has happened to my child and all children and young people living with #LongCovid. Families deserve answers. #GiveUsHope #ListenLearnHope

We can support calls for pediatricians to be able to testify and for LC advocacy, clean air measures at the UK inquiry. I hope we can band together on this ✊😷 www.longcovidkids.org/post/hashtag...

Curious (or confused) about the different types of masks? We have a mask guide on our website! A well-fitted N95 respirator (or equivalent) is highly recommended for indoor public spaces while Nova Scotia experiences a major wave / surge / increase of Covid cases.

"'There is a lot of COVID around at the moment,' [Dr Barrett] said... At the same time, we are, it seems to me, more on our own than we have ever been when it comes to knowing the size of the COVID wave."

If you’re cancelling a speaker at your institution in light of valid feedback and concerns expressed by many……what are you doing about the people who booked them?

Damn it. It has been ONE MONTH SINCE LAST INFECTION. This was preventable. To nitwits out there who say, “Aha! So masks don’t work.” Masks work. Meetings/groups of unmasked people put those of us being responsible at risk. 500 patients coming for COVID19 vaccine & flu shots next week.
