Last month, EECD released the results of air quality testing from the 2023 - 2024 school year. Data was again presented as a PDF chart, making analysis difficult. I used their data to create visuals and a report, of sorts. You can read the full report here (PDF on OneDrive): buff.ly/msa9XeV

As promised, I sought to find out why NB redefined Covid-19 deaths and how that redefinition impacted reporting, and the response is frightening. They changed the definition based on vibes, resulting in 2 of every 3 covid-caused deaths not being reported. #nbpoli #covid19

I want to write something for #LongCovidAwarenessDay about long covid and what it’s taken from me, but I always falter. I can’t breathe. I can’t move, or sit still, or sleep without pain. My heart is a cinder block. My mind is a radio that’s lost its antenna.

I’m officially moved over to this app and today seemed to be the perfect day to do a thread on my LC journey so let’s do it. Hi. I’m Haley. I’m 34. Prior to Covid I was healthy. In Sept of 2022 my husbands work removed their mask mandate. He hung on for a while but ultimately gave up (1)

Hey Aranet 4 users! There is an app to discretely view current readings on an iPhone lock screen or Apple Watch - without opening your phone! Great for places cell phones aren’t okay - schools, meetings, etc. Free to test. Subscription after. apps.apple.com/ca/app/co-on...

Oh hey there. It’s just me and the @popnb.bsky.social mask crew with a year end wrap up. We are a crew of 12 officially, with some of our partners graciously offering to handle pick ups for us.

I have a request 😊 In your offline lives, or online other places, would you mind 1. Sharing NB’s IAQ progress and 2. Informing people in your lives that this progress is due to advocacy. There is so much awful news right now. Just say hey, good news, look what’s up in NB. Ppl need to know.

Reposting this for new folks 💕 ICYMI Little old New Brunswick, Canada is leading the way with clean air legislation. Please make sure global IAQ advocates are aware of this significant development! We’re all in this together and your support helps.

For the record. I’m sure part of it was luck. We all deserve this *at the bare minimum* and we actually deserve so much more. N95s in healthcare, public transparency and education on long COVID, access to Paxlovid, access to masks and tests, paid sick days etc. I know people everywhere working../1

If anyone out there wants to chat with us about this process we are happy to share what we know! I think there are things that happened behind the scenes as well of which we are not aware. Regardless, we are happy to share any insight we have. Reach out anytime.

Wow!!

This is a wonderful accomplishment! Persistence is omnipotence!

Our work is paying off. So many thanks to @ryan-murphy.bsky.social for documenting this monumental success!

A momentous day in New Brunswick. This is the result of hundreds of people caring enough about clean air to contact their representatives; bring it up at every opportunity; and to engage creatively and passionately on this important issue. This isn’t because one person cared - so many care.

Our work is paying off. Today, Mandate Letters from Premier Susan Holt incoming Ministers were shared with the public. The Hon. Chuck Chiasson, Minister of Transportation & Infrastructure, will take the lead on the party's commitment to improve the air in public buildings.
