This is what it would look like if you could see Covid. Please share this far & wide. Hopefully, some doctors will see it. Such basic concepts but people have trouble grasping how their actions spread a deadly disease. #WearAMask

It appears that the rhetoric propagated by these people who are now experiencing the results of their disinformation is alive and well here in BC, given the last (rare) Public Health comm from Bonnie Henry and a recent statement that kids don’t get sick by Reka Gustafson.
Biden’s Handmaidens: Is it surprising that the women on the frontlines of Biden’s effort to minimize Covid are not all doing that well, physically?

@scott_squires @annabelmaud I'm always so sad to see people so uneducated about masks. Exactly as you said, all masks are not created equal. The loose surgicals let air in the sides, the cloth ones are not very effective because of the material, but a well-sealed respirator is extremely effective. I wish

I second this.
I curse Biden and everyone at CDC/public health for letting us get to this point with COVID. The amount of lies and disinformation is overwhelming. They took us from a bad situation from Trump & turned it into a far worse situation & sealed the deal. I also curse impact research

A COVID wave kills selected vulnerable people while making healthy people vulnerable. You may be selected in the next wave.

Today's a good day to replace old air filters. Better to let the HEPA eat Sars2, flu, or RSV than breathe virus-laden aerosol particles deep into your lungs. #WinterIsComing

Building inexpensive indoor air filters with Mar Vista High School students in Imperial Beach...filter efficiency is higher than ones that cost $800+. You spend 90% of your time indoors...everyone deserves clean air!! @UCSD @Scripps_Ocean

Long COVID in children is real, common, and still widely misunderstood. New pediatric studies show that kids and teens can experience lasting effects after infection, and reinfections significantly increase the risks. Our latest WHN article breaks down what the science shows,

📈Flu season heating up—Positivity surging and we are on pace for another bad flu season again (red this year, orange last year), with kids most vulnerable. Protect the kids - get the flu shot and mask up in crowded places. Get HEPA filter for your home too.

@scott_squires @Kapur_AK Mine used it for teacher bonuses. Not dissing teachers, but if the money had been used properly to address indoor air quality in schools, it would have benefited teachers, teachers' families, students, & students' families.

I wrote about the unprecedented mass censorship and surveillance laws that Congress is trying to ram through in the name of “protecting kids” and how none of this is about protecting kids. In fact, these laws cause great harm to all of us, for @zeteo_news

US politicians want to replicate Australia's draconian law prohibiting children under 16 from using social media. But experts say such bans will actually make kids 'significantly less safe online.'

Vote on UN resolution to ensure “Safety and security of humanitarian personnel…” ✅153 countries in favor ❌1 country against Not even Israel 🇮🇱 or Russia 🇷🇺 voted against it. Let that sink in—America 🇺🇸 has fallen into such a dark hole.
The United Nations has just voted 153-1 on a resolution ensuring the safety and security of humanitarian workers and UN personnel across the globe. The only country voting against? The United States 🇺🇸.

💡Fox News interview left out a key detail that 95% of measles cases (105/111) in South Carolina were not vaccinated. But I am glad they are highlighting how bad the outbreak is becoming—US on verge of losing “measles elimination” status for first time in 25 years.

These are the tools. If we used them, Covid would be a trickle, with far fewer deaths, and those getting long Covid. Even without magic breakthroughs we can cut Covid to tiny amounts now if we choose to.
