I’m glad the recommendations are unequivocal but vaccine rollouts by provinces are far too late. Many in my community have already fallen ill and nursing home outbreaks are well underway. Folks need Covid shots BEFORE schools start up each fall. #covidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne #CovidIsNotSeasonal

Got me some! 🙌 Very convenient tool! Pick up some masks too so you hopefully won’t need to use the tests, but good to have tests too. I get my braided elastic 3M Aura 9210+ and my lighter Breatheteq KN95s at Canada Strong who sell a sample pack so you can find your best fit before buying wrong size

COVID-19 cases are still high, so be sure to know the facts and avoid the myths in order to protect yourself and others.

Let me be clear. As someone who has been professionally involved with the biodefense / biosecurity sector for nearly 20 years, and has worked on biological risk analysis for Covid-19 since early 2020, reducing one's risk of being infected is not health anxiety. It's just smart.

“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!

My friend, I have heard you say that you “can’t believe” the current messaging they are telling us around public health, I only wish, my friend, you hadn’t been so eager to believe the messaging when they told us the pandemic was over.

Next week! Make a DIY air purifier! form.jotform.com/252526894774...

Nova Scotia has also greatly diminished the wastewater reporting. This was one of the last reliable indicators of Covid activity in the province.

Please share and email to keep the COVID-19 vaccine free in Quebec! I made a template in EN & FR to send to the Minister of Health and your local MNA. #SanteQC #QCpoli #LongCovid bit.ly/4pqFU1F

Sadly true.

Sci fi / horror conventions are requiring masks in 2025 but disability related conferences continue to refuse to consider masks & some even refuse to have virtual options If you refuse to accommodate #immunocompromised people, you’re not as “inclusive” / “accessible” as you think you are #ableism

It's possible we are no longer getting data from Dartmouth and Mill Cove, not sure.

Nova Scotia, it looks like we're entering a Covid wave after a relatively quieter summer. It's still warm, so gathering outside is a great way to reduce transmission. Covid - like flu, RSV, measles, pertussis - is airborne. A well-fitted N95 mask, air filters & open windows can reduce indoor spread.

Eek. Maybe provincial governments should have used the earlier than usual approvals this year (a month earlier than usual) to get thing in motion in time for back to school instead of sticking w/ the status quo of "I dunno… how does November sound?"

Massive thanks to @moriartylab.bsky.social and her whole team for continuing this important work. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover it. #covidIsNotOver

Unsurprisingly, studets are back in school, so the Covid hazard has increased. Each infection increases your potential for long-term negative effects, so wear a well-fitted make to protect yourself & others and reduce transmission.

Pharmacies in NB will have COVID and flu shots (and RSV) the week of Oct 6 (not sure if appointments/availability start immediately). #nbpoli

Please share this upcoming event! #cleanair #covidisnotover #covidisairborne

"Infants under eight months and adults 75 years and older will soon have access to free protection against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)." Nova Scotia has expanded RSV vaccine access to infants! 🎉

Thanks for sharing that article, @onschoolsafety.bsky.social! Evidence just keeps piling up: #CleanAir is the way: bsky.app/profile/mjna...

Measles exposure at the QEII Halifax Infirmary: ▪️Emergency Department: Sunday, September 7 from 10:45 p.m. to Monday, September 8 at 1:20 a.m. ▪️Diagnostic Imaging (General Imaging and Ultrasound): Monday, September 8 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This is related to the Northern Zone outbreak.

"Aerosols from the respiratory tract when we breathe, speak, sing or cough can carry viruses and bacteria... Aerosol transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been identified as the dominant route for transmitting COVID" Congrats to these winners of the 2025 Faraday Horizon Prize.

Cardiologists must either research themselves or become obsolete and quit. COVID causes systemic vascular damage. Both acute & chronic. Some chronic cascades of vascular damage can occur years after mild infections. EVERYONE previously infected with COVID NEEDS regular Doppler ultrasounds neck/legs

"You’re not building immunity. You’re accumulating injury."

Changing CR Box filters will radicalize you about clean indoor air. Run air filters so the gross stuff gets trapped in the filter and not your lungs!!

And, if you're a Canadian shaking your head about what's happening to vaccine access in the US, consider why you don't feel that way about other research-supported infection control tools like clean indoor air, masks, testing, adequate vaccine education & access.

Fantastic interview of @michael-hoerger.bsky.social by @covidsafetyed.bsky.social #CovidConscious #CovidIsNotOver #CovidSafeSchools youtu.be/7q5CDiCXn7E

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and grabbed some masks! ❤️

Tomorrow!

The yoyo of hospital-acquired infections continue in Canada. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A donation of just $20 allows us to send a box of respirator #masks to keep an entire household safe. Donate today and we’ll use the money to keep folks across the country safe and healthy! donatemask.ca/fundraiser #MasksWork #MaskUp #WearARespie

Looking for masks? We've got some! We'll be giving away masks on Saturday, September 6 outside the old Spring Garden Road Memorial Library (5381 Spring Garden Rd) at 12 pm. Check out the Anarchist Bookfair & pick up some sweet respirators! We'll have smaller sizes too, perfect for back to school!

Have you ever looked at the school "ventilation reports" provided by the Nova Scotia Centres for Ed? They're useless. No one from the Dept of Education has explained how "operating as intended" aligns with ASHRAE standards. @nbcovidinfo.bsky.social 's thread about NB might as well be about NS.

Masks are back at my hospital but I don’t see any staff wearing them 🙃 #nbpoli #CovidIsAirborne There is already a Covid outbreak though on a unit 👍 gosh could @ipaccanada.bsky.social ‘s refusal to acknowledge airborne transmission and respirators be connected to hospital covid outbreaks?!

Friendly reminder that N95s do what you wish this generation of vaccines did.

New Brunswick's largest hospital network resumes mandatory masking as respiratory illnesses rise www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... More news → CanadaHealthwatch.ca 🍁

Happy first day of school. Your unmasked face is poor pedagogy. Happy to answer questions about masks/air filters/nasal sprays/mouth wash. Try Covid protections for the first month of school and see what happens?

As we head back to school, Nova Scotia's Covid Forecast outlook is high and about 1 of every 69 people is infected. You can reduce the spread by staying home when sick, wearing a well-fitting mask, meeting outside when possible, opening windows, and running air purifiers. Take care of each other!

Canadian COVID Forecast: Aug 30 - Sep 12 2025 Severe: Very high: AB BC NL High: CAN MB North NS ON PEI QC SK Moderate: About 1 in 65 people in Canada are CURRENTLY infected.

Labour Day is an opportunity to recognize how, historically, unions were instrumental in improving occupational health and safety for workers. We need that motivation now as much as we did in the 19th century.

Covid is a labour issue. #LabourDay #WorkersRights

Reasons I will wear an N95 when teaching this fall 2025: - WHO still classifies COVID-19 as a pandemic - WHO still recommends masking in indoor public spaces - 5 years watching long-COVID progressively disable my husband - don't like participating in eugenics - want to protect my cats and your kids

Long COVID is more than fatigue. A new study suggests its impact is similar to a stroke or Parkinson’s theconversation.com/long-covid-i...

Traveling soon? Stay protected during the COVID-19 surge by wearing a high-quality mask in crowded or indoor spaces like an N95, KN95 or KF94. Learn more: www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID...
