A draft standard requiring N95 respirator masks in health care settings has been released by the Canadian Standards Association. Voice your support by next Tuesday August 19 using the excellent plain-language explainer prepared by DoNoHarm BC (it’s also available in French!)

L'Association canadienne de normalisation a publié un projet de norme exigeant le port de N95 dans les établissements de soins de santé. Ajoutez vos commentaires d'ici mardi prochain, 19 août, en utilisant l'excellent document explicatif en langage clair créé par DoNoHarm BC

I just sent my comment in support of this as a public health professional! Comments due by aug 19th!

Signed on? GREAT! Now, for the next few days you can directly comment on the standard. Respirators in healthcare will protect patients and workers. Workplace health and safety doesn’t need to be in the 18th century — airborne disease transmission is preventable 👍🏾 (see next)

Big step for safer hospitals: the new CSA respirator standard would ensure everyone—staff, patients, even visitors—has access to protection. It ties together design, cleaning, and ventilation to cut airborne risks. The CSA is accepting public comments until tomorrow, August 19.

Today's the last day to submit support for a National Canadian Standard for N95s and other respirators in Healthcare! Follow this guide. Thanks to DoNoHarm BC & Barry Hunt #canada #healthcare #workersrights #PatientSafety #sarscov2 #CovidIsAirborne donoharmbc.ca/national-stand…

Just as a new wave starts, BC Centre for Disease Control / @metrovancouver has reduced their wastewater monitoring to 8 stations (from 12), one time (from 3) per week, and updated every 2 (instead of 1) weeks. THEY ARE HIDING THE EXTENT OF THE ONGOING PANDEMIC. PROTEST IT. DoNoHarm BC BC Green Party

I had not seen this change to wastewater reporting both in coverage and frequency. Typical BC Centre for Disease Control & BC PHO's approach to disappearing an ongoing pandemic "don't test, don't tell, don't show and don't know." What could go wrong? #bcpoli Ms. Opossum graphs COVID data. bccdc.shinyapps.io/respiratory_wa…

Vancouver Coastal Health And drumroll please, here is BC #Covid immunization guidelines for 2025-2026. Phew! But still no Novavax mentioned...

Change starts local. When national health guidance falls short, our cities, counties, and states can step up. That’s where you come in. We’re proud to announce our Health Department Outreach Campaign — a collective effort to rebuild trust and strengthen infection-prevention
