Ahhhh I can't believe we are almost to 1,000 signatures! c.org/X4JzhLW6Gg

Ask your MLA, the healthcare boards, and worksafe NB why nobody is protecting workers from airborne transmission of disease in NB. #NbPoli

Wastewater data updated 2 days ago. Looking Covid-y in much of NB. We know what to do! - wear a well-fitting respirator when sharing air. Covid is airborne so this is the most important step. - immediately do what you can to improve IAQ. Crack some windows. Add filtration. Improve ventilation. - 💉

Our conservative run neighbour has rapid tests for free. Please take a minute to ask the @susanholtnb.bsky.social government why it is not possible for us to have the same. (That’s it)

“Data indicated that viruses were most often detected in 1–4 μm particles, signifying the presence of potential airborne/through-the-air virus transportation and inhalation hazards.

“Results showed that both clinics had similar exposure risks despite one being dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of patients exhibiting symptoms of illnesses caused by respiratory viruses.

Non-stigmatizing: The White House is clearly lying about Trump's health. Stigmatizing: Look at this gross, unhealthy thing on this hand. Haha!!!

To @susanholtnb.bsky.social and all others running this province. Please consider giving us the tools we need to stay safe in the face of this quickly changing climate. The fact that we STILL don’t have clean air, a plan towards or mitigation measures in place instead is absurd.

It's Nice To Be Disliked (By One Of Those)

Another example of the junk clinical studies celebrated in Evidence Based Medicine because of methodology alone. Beloved "gold standard" of opinion launderers and cherry pickers, often designed with little or no mechanistic understanding or subject-matter expertise. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

"The most spectacular failure in recent memory was the refusal of international health leaders to address the cold, hard, scientific reality of airborne COVID transmission. "

Public health and IPC leaders' saviour complex and refusal to believe they have anything to learn from anyone outside the club has cost an enormous number of lives. They tried to play superhero and screwed us all.

Increased ventilation leads to better cognitive performance among university students. Imagine that.

#COVID and #longCOVID policy and guidance cannot be understood without recognizing that the people responsible for educating HCW and the public about prevention and the harm done by a COVID infection are the exact same people whose incompetence led to everyone being repeatedly infected with COVID.

Happy International Women's Day! A reminder that this specific screwup has now killed ~25 million people. A world that allows an influential, entitled, ignorant man to just shout down a smarter and more knowledgeable woman 👉can literally kill you.👈 www.wired.com/story/the-te...

And contrast that with my little cousins who are still in the same area I grew up and I know merit has little to do with opportunity. Structures and policies dictate the haves and have nots. There is no reason to continually fund schools by local property tax except to create an underclass.

I can’t stop thinking about the Canadian politician who became disabled at 60 and ended up homeless Other politicians came together to raise over 40k in less than 48 hours … because they KNOW you can’t survive on government assistance. So why aren’t we changing policies? 🧵/1

After nearly three decades, a Minnesota summer camp for kids with HIV/AIDS is closing and up for sale... because retroviral drugs are so effective that there aren't enough campers. Science works, y'all. www.startribune.com/closure-of-n...

Canadian healthcare covers tracheostomy tubes IF inserted in hospital. After discharge, the patient has to PAY for their own airway. (Might vary by province)

Content warning… HICPAC not recommending respirator use in healthcare because… wait for it… “health care facilities must also focus on other major problems they face, such as health care staffing shortages” Bahahahahahaha 🤡 www.infectioncontroltoday.com/view/cdc-hic...

Word of the day is ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted by work. I like to add ‘foreswunk’, exhausted before you even begin.
