The Brown Shirts are coming

Canada has a "loon" on our $1 coin Now the U.S. wants one? 😂

It sounds like Canadians should avoid the Super Bowl this year

THIS IS IMPORTANT, 🇨🇦 ⬇️⬇️

ADVOCACY OPPORTUNITY: WorkSafeBC is revising some regulations, including its standard on respirators! However, it plans to use an outdated edition on N95s. Background and how you can help 🧵:

“Norway and Canada are two of the world’s safest places statistically when it comes to violent crime.” Canada named second safest country in the world from violent crime

I broke a front tooth recently And needed an extraction and implant A 2 hour procedure So off to the oral surgeon I went yesterday

Important Study from Canada 🇨🇦 👏👏👏 Risk mitigation of shared room ventilation and filtration on SARS-CoV-2 transmission: a multicenter test-negative study | Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology | Cambridge Core

"IPAC Canada is not a research body to attempt to prove or disprove the hypothesis that universal masking is unequivocally beneficial, and without at minimum best practice guidance and support, we are not able to make a public statement for or against universal use of masks in healthcare spaces."

I think I see the problem Top global industries by revenue: Healthcare: $21T Life & Health Insurance: $5.5T Oil & Gas: $6T Car & Auto Sales: $4.4T Commercial Real Estate: $1.2T

Hospitals are creating more customers More community disease By denying airborne transmission By denying N95s By prioritizing smiles over masks 😢

The head of Infectious Disease At Canada's Hospital for Sick Children Is an anti-masker Who sows FUD about masking And downplays Covid's risk to children Read this and weep 😢 From October 2020 torontosun.com/news/local-n...

Many pathogens are flushed into the air And they linger in the air Pls wear a respirator in public bathrooms Even if it's not occupied 👏👏👏

“Hospital-acquired COVID-19 is associated with excess mortality and may drive community transmission. Preventing in-hospital transmission is critical to protecting patients and controlling broader epidemic.”

Today is the last chance to weigh in on the draft CSA National Standard for respirators, CSA Z94.4 Just go to: publicreview.csa.ca/Home/Details... Together, we CAN change the world ❤️💪😊

I'm overwhelmed by the public support for a CSA National Standard in 🇨🇦 for precautionary universal N95 use in healthcare From all over the world Like this comment from @safedavid3.bsky.social

The dumbest thing of all about @ipaccanada.bsky.social ‘s anti-science resistance to respirators in healthcare is that the CSA has already approved a Canadian-made earloop mask (similar style to baggy blue surgical just way better) to our domestic N95 level standard. canadastrong.ca/products/q10...

Sigh 😔 Is Hand Hygiene important? Yes But it's NOT "the most important infection prevention measure" despite the endlessly repeated dogma Saying it over & over for decades does not make it true

Here we go again ------------------------------ Which is correct? NPIs cause Immunity Debt SARS2 causes Immunity Theft ------------------------------- Both Neither Other Explain ------------------------------- Thank you for your attention to this matter.

WHN is hosting an important Town Hall on Tuesday with Dr. Dick Zoutman Subject: The Fight for Canada’s Universal Respirator Mask Healthcare Standards 👏👏👏 Register here: necsi-edu.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

It may seem hard to believe but there is a group of Infectious Disease doctors who oppose the new Canadian CSA Z94.4:25 draft National Standard for Respirators and the precautionary use of N95s in healthcare

📢 Canada’s CSA Z94.4-25 standard calls for universal respirators in healthcare—a milestone in airborne protection Support it with your voice: ✅ Submit public comments (open to all) 🧾 Read WHN’s support + petition response #CleanAir #HealthcareSafety #N95 #CSA whn.global/whn-response...

Good News! Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has called for universal respirator use in healthcare settings & when performing patient care outside of healthcare settings (eg – in the home) in the latest edition of CSA Z94.4, Selection, use and care of filtering respirators.

Hi all. It’s tremendously important that between now and Aug 19 (deadline) that you provide public comment to CSA on the newest revisions to Z94.4: selection, use, and care of respirators. For the first time ever it includes healthcare. Must make CSA account. publicreview.csa.ca/Home/Details...

I hate flying I used to like it I used to love it even Back in the day I used to fly about once a week Now I hate it The lineups The security procedures The wait times The delays The crowding But especially the risk Knowing almost no one masks anymore

Trump trying to manifest peace in the Middle East by wishing for it. Not a winning strategy.

In the spirit of saying thanks to the people (that's you) who have helped us get here, we’re showing our gratitude this week. Here’s a thread on what’s coming up👇

"Uh oh, an error was encountered" 😂😂😂

“This summer, [Waymo is] planning to launch in Atlanta. Next on the list are Miami and Washington, D.C. The cars are now mapping Boston, Nashville, New Orleans, Dallas, Las Vegas and San Diego. This past week, the company announced that it’s testing Orlando, Houston and San Antonio.”

I am still processing trauma after learning the concept of "fecal veneer" from @barryhunt008.bsky.social and if I have to know about it then everyone else can too.

Sigh. 😔 Just when you thought it was safe to breathe the air again...

I think X is down again

Sanofi has a stellar reputation, a global marketing deal w Novavax, & invested $1.5 B in new vaccine manufacturing facilities in Canada 🇨🇦 Novavax has a superior Covid vaccine, a great adjuvant, & plans for new Flu vaccines. Let's hope it all comes together 🤞 ir.novavax.com/press-releas...

Novavax Covid Vaccine has finally been approved!!! 🎉 🎈 🍾 🙌❤️👍☺️🥳 👏👏👏 With one weird caveat Ages over 65 ✅ Ages 12 to 64 "with at least one underlying condition that puts them at high risk of severe outcomes from Covid-19" Like what, breathing? www.fda.gov/vaccines-blo...

Important thread on the other place from @1goodtern.bsky.social UK respiratory related deaths before & after onset of COVID - doubled from 15% to 30% And it continues to get worse, not better x.com/barryhunt008...

I guess it's good to have a world renowned central banker in charge during turbulent times 🇨🇦

Dear .@MarkJCarney There ought to be a law against this type of false advertising designed to deceive ppl into thinking it's a real news story on X Complete with fake interview, fake CBC logo, etc And if there is, it needs to be enforced Shields up, red alert! ❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

Many respirators available in Canada are certified by NIOSH and automatically approved by Health Canada. Manufacturers may have to look at certifying under CSA Z94.4.1:21 for the North American standard.
