Three children died of the flu in Ottawa this month. If you have a small child, a good investment is a finger pulse oximeter to monitor pulse and oxygen levels. These data you can share with your doctor if symptoms are severe enough that you're considering an ER visit www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

Media moguls everywhere: "Newspapers are dying! No one trusts mainstream media. They say we're elitist and out of touch. What shall we do? How do we regain trust and respect?" The Washington Post:

Very disturbing, very sad, very predictable. #LongCovid #MECFS

Cannot overstate the enormous contribution of volunteer variant trackers like Mike. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Badly needed.

Steven Guilbeault is an honourable man.

10 years ago Mark Carney warned about the "existential threat" posed by climate catastrophe and the need to move from fossil fuel burning. Now he is using Stephen Harper's lines about becoming an "energy super power." This is a powerful analysis on the MOU. markhamhislop.substack.com/p/the-pipeli...

I'd like to volunteer @ipaccanada.bsky.social to go deal with Marburg & ebola outbreaks. "...limited evidence with which to draw conclusions on the comparative effectiveness of PPE to prevent exposure to and transmission of VHFs [viral hemorrhagic fevers] to HCWs."🤬 www.canada.ca/en/public-he...

The 'human flu season is officially on', writes virologist, @angierasmussen.bsky.social. And, 'a flu strain that emerged over the summer is causing 'unprecedented' outbreaks in Japan, as well as in Canada and the U.K.', noted @erikaedwards.bsky.social @nbcnews.com. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Clickbait headlines have no place in responsible health reporting. How about this? "Yes, you should absolutely still get the flu shot say experts" www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

Prevention of COVID, and Long COVID, must not be a lost cause. @juliadoubleday.bsky.social Reality: airborne viruses spread more easily in poorly ventilated spaces, including: classrooms, hospitals, surgeries, care homes, offices, public transport, corridors, prisons, supermarkets and stores, et al.

Covid-19 roughly doubled the risk of vascular dementia in adults 50+ and for those with pre-existing mental illness the risk rose ~5x. A similar signal appears after other viral infections - a reminder that viruses aren’t "mild" when it comes to brain health 🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Andor would want you to cancel your Disney+ subscription. It's the least you can do for the Rebellion.

Jesus Christ. A standing ovation — from Liberals too — for Charlie Kirk in the Canadian House of Commons. You can (and should) oppose political violence without doing all this, you know.

Liberals have always enabled fascists. Liberals love fascists.

Though it’s traumatic for me to bring this up, I was targeted by a group allied with Turning Point USA in 2018, with the help of Tucker Carlson on Fox. My home address circulated online and I got death threats. 1/

When it came time to change the filters of our full-sized #CRbox I decided to create a foamboard frame for Ikea Fornüftig filters instead. Filter replacement cost is MUCH cheaper in this design & it still works amazingly🙌🙌

Test your COVID BS detector. Adaptive exam; difficulty shifts with your answers. Results may surprise you (even PhDs). Take it: seanmullen.com/covidcompete... Post your badge if you ace “Epidemiologist’s Nightmare.” @rachelhoopsick.bsky.social

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre just said Charlie Kirk was killed “for having expressed contrary views.” We still don’t know who was responsible for this shooting or why they did it.

It was one of the most psychedelic, bizarre and beloved Canadian children's shows ever made. Structured like a sketch comedy show around the comedic genius of Billy Van, it is well remembered even to this day. This is the story of The Hilarious House of Frightenstein! 🧵 1/19

OSHA has proposed removing the COVID-19 reporting and recordkeeping requirements for healthcare workers, citing the end of the public health emergency and a belief that reporting provides limited additional value.

Happy #wildfire #smoke season to all those who observe. Fun fact, PM2.5 are particles so tiny they seep into your blood through your lung alveoli. These particles then oxidize the inside of your blood vessels causing all sorts of damage. Wildfire smoke is a major source of heart attacks and stroke.

THIS ⬆️ is important research. COVID infects the lining of blood vessels. When those cells die they cause red blood cells to break apart and clot up in the diseased blood vessels leading to clots. These clots cause damage to the heart, lung, brain, gut, kidney etc. So not good! Don’t get COVID!

Are you covid-aware? Do you wish an organization would take on the battle against covid & advocacy for protections in health care & elsewhere? Good news! The Canadian Covid Society is doing great work & making impacts. Every $ helps this great org; if you can donate, please do: covidsociety.ca

Seeing a lot of “Andor is the best SW thing since the OT.” It’s not. It’s the best Star Wars has EVER been. It’s better than Star Wars has any right to be. And the timing of its message couldn’t be any more prescient or poignant.

NEWS IN PHOTO: Carney instantly regrets winning election

🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍💯👏 There is a massive anti-Pierre Poilievre video being displayed on the side of a building in Toronto. #cdnpoli

Pierre Poilievre out right lying about crime! #cdnpoli

If Rogan and Peterson are afraid of Mark Carney, that may be the best reason I’ve heard yet to vote for Mark Carney. #VoteCarney #CanadaStrong

COVID infection tripled the risk of inflammatory heart diseases and was associated with 68% increased risk of any cardiovascular symptoms in kids with normal hearts. Study period March 2020 to September 2023. Minimum 6 month followup. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Today on the podcast, I talk with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social

"By taking CO₂ seriously – not just as a climate metric but as a health indicator – we have a unique opportunity to reduce disease transmission in our everyday environments. Because when it comes to viruses in the air, the air itself might be our greatest ally – or our biggest threat."
