I love the Covid informed community and how quickly they are to respond to nonsense content 👏🏼

Requiring masks for only certain areas of the hospital is as useful as the smoking sections we used to have on planes and in restaurants. The smoke didn't stay in its section and neither will airborne viruses.

Happy late #V #Tata day, #ARMY! I got this squishy little guy from a #Blindbox for Christmas. #BTS

@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social I’m #oneofthetwo and I say you got it turned around. See, if anyone asks me about my mask, I’m going to drop the facts on them. COVID can linger in the air for hours. LongCovid is brutal. We don’t have a fix. That’s when *you* say, “I don’t want to talk about it.”

This case from last year about the Canadian man who died after a 6-hr ER wait and severe chest pain is strikingly similar to the death of the 44-yo in Edmonton this week montrealgazette.com/news/man-39-...

I've been asked by 3 media outlets in the last week to do interviews on the influenza season. I still haven't seen our new CMOH, appointed Dec 18th, (or old one, for that matter. Or any public health official) in the media on this topic. For the record, they are acutally paid, to do this. 1/2

This is a tragic event, and my heart goes out to the pt's family. globalnews.ca/news/1... 1/14

Canadian COVID Forecast: Dec 20, 2025 - Jan 2, 2026 SEVERE: none VERY HIGH: AB, MB, NB, North, QC, SK HIGH: CAN, BC, NL, NS, ON, PEI MODERATE: none About 1 in 55 people in Canada are CURRENTLY infected.

H3N2 strain of #flu on CBC hourly news and they highlight getting the vaccine to reduce the effect of flu. Maybe they could suggest masking, handwashing and clean air too.

If it doesn't get inside you, it can't make you sick. Respirators are designed by experts to help protect you from aerosol hazards, including COVID, the flu and other airborne diseases, and tested to make sure they are effective - and they are. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a quack.

Likely one of the WORST updates in awhile.. Outbreaks sky high, ER Wait times peaking around 11hrs tonight in YEG.. ER Closures, OBGYN Diversions.. COVID, ILI & RSV Peaking towards the moon.. Hold on tight folks.. This is UGLY. @frazzleheadlc.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/frazzleh...

A respirator can help prevent... When will the public understand this basic concept?

Love this graphic from @nousaerons.bsky.social. This is why I mask in public. Breathing dirty air is no different from drinking dirty toilet water. There's no shortages of airborne transmissible diseases. Even the ones we have vaccines for can cause breakthrough infxns (e.g. TB, Covid, Measles)

Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

From the DM’s… If there was any doubt left that Smith’s anti-trans policies were anything more than craven politics… If this is accurate it means she’s delayed robbing charter rights to try and distract from another massive financial scandal. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Good morning. If you live in Alberta, you should know that today your government will invoke the notwithstanding clause to wage war against transgender Albertans. Not because transgender persons are harmful, but because the UCP is distracting you from their mountain of failures. #ableg

Couldn't see the northern light without my phone here in south #yeg.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

The UCP have been claiming they were willing to enter mediation to reach a fair deal with teachers. But as I explain, the UCP’s reaction when a mediator recently ruled against them makes it pretty clear they can’t be trusted to keep any deal that doesn’t favour them. #ableg

456,365 #ForeverCanadian signatures (plus few dozen last minute arrivals). I’m told it’s the biggest petition in Canada’s history. None of this would happen if not for thousands of volunteers and your love for Canada.🇨🇦 Thank you! This is Alberta’s and Canada’s victory.

Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights? An airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Saudi Arabia. She didn't even bother to show up for the vote. I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them. This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people .. bookvaccine.alberta.ca/vaccine/s/pr... 1/2

On the My Health Alberta site, the $100 for phase 2 of the Covid vaccine is listed "administrative fee." Would anyone be able to even submit the cost to their health insurance plan, with it labeled as an admin fee? 🤔 Might be better to go through your pharmacy. I did and my plan covered it.

Just received my #Covid vaccine in #yeg. Some things to consider if you fit in the phase 2 group of the #Alberta Covid vaccine group: 1) You can get it at a pharmacy carrying the vaccine now. It costs more ($150), but your health plan may cover it. Ask the pharmacy to run it through to check. /1

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away. They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

Please share this... Danielle Smith shared the below picture with a completely fabricated story. The mother has since stepped forward & with CBC speaking to the harm Smith's fabricated story has done. Smith's post has hurt her family and her business. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Found out from a #yeg pharmacy that they no longer receive #Covid vaccine stock from the #Alberta govt as they had since 2020. Pharmacies order their own stock now. I'm thinking this may be a way for #ableg to make it look like demand is down since they would not be tracking pharmacy demand?

I'm still amazed how useful these video primers are for parents and anyone involved with schools. The first one is good for anyone who wishes to know the truth about Covid and it's impacts. www.covidsafetyforschools.org/primer Please share far and wide to parents and teachers.

myhealth.alberta.ca/Topic/Immuni... If you scroll down on the #Alberta immunization oage, there is a #Covid vaccine pre-order for 2026-27. The pre-order period is Sept 29 to Dec 25. Kind of early but it's an opportunity to show them demand. #ableg #abhealth

So I got this message. The fee for the COVID-19 vaccine will be $100 - for those of us that do not meet the criteria outlined. I must say, this is a sad, sad, sad state of affairs in Alberta. #Abpoli #Cdnpoli #VoteOutTheUCP #DanielleSmithIsUnfitToLead

Has anyone who pre-ordered the #Covid vaccine in #Alberta received an email reminder to book yet? I deleted an email from my junk folder that may have been for that. Can't recover it. Just wondering if the Oct 20 book date on the vaccine site is accurate. #AHS

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

Alberta teachers, understand that a "NO" vote is THE only way to send a message to the UCP that your conditions must improve. They're counting on the "YES" to maintain status quo. Long-term improvement in the quality of your profession outweighs the pain a strike will inflict on your wallet.

Worth reading and supporting this article on Violet Affleck’s advocacy for clean air and COVID mitigations. We should always support our youth when they step up and want to engage in making the world a better place. www.elle.com/culture/cele...

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Our student know what is right and just. ✊

“I am so sorry I need help.” This is what an elderly retired nurse told me recently. She’s a patient, like all of us. She had devoted her life to help others. She has complex medical issues which had stabilized well until she got COVID and then long-COVID 2 years ago. 1/
