Hard to be healthy with unhealthy air.

Virginia Tech researchers developing portable COVID AIR tests | Imagine being able to walk into a crowded store, restaurant or movie theater & be able to detect if there’s COVID-19 in Virginia Tech is developing a portable rapid test for the air. #covid dcnewsnow.com/whats-going-ar…

I talked to CBC/Radio-Canada about the effects of Covid on brain health Thanks to host Bob McDonald and producer Amanda Buckiewicz Link to the news article and radio interview below cbc.ca/radio/quirks/l…

Months before I got Covid for the first time, I wrote this piece about lack of infection control in hospitals. This week I got to experience it myself when I reluctantly went to the ER for a 10 day migraine- itself a post COVID health issue thegauntlet.news/p/hospitals-ar…

Sharing another slide from the PICNet training presentation. These are the people most at risk of dying despite being boosted. Every day that goes by without N95s in hospitals, leaders send the message they are expendable

#COVID19 can cause new health problems to appear years after infection, according to a study of more than 130,000 patients, by Carolyn Barber, MD fortune.com/well/article/c… via FORTUNE Take Action Against COVID - #LongCOVID

TRIGGER warning: graphic descriptions (written) I provided input to the Canadian Task Force, how the previous guidelines harmed me. Scratch that: are killing me. I’m not sure the time I spent writing the brief made an iota of a difference based on the newly proposed

Do you trust information from CTFPHC | GECSSP when in 2018 they said women 40-49 had a 48% chance of Overdiagnosis and this year… it is only calculated to be 3%. Oops! Sorry to all you women who got turned down for Mammo screening because of GROSSLY overinflated harms in 2018.

As we hear more stories of HCWs refusing to mask for compromised patients - I want to ask people to consider how it feels to BE that patient. To feel like your life doesn’t matter & you’re a burden. I’ve been that patient & wouldn’t wish that feeling on anyone. 🧵 /1

I’ve been in situations where the HCW isn’t masking (or isn’t masking properly). You feel exposed, vulnerable and trapped. If they know you’re immune compromised & still refuse to take precautions? You feel expendable & as though your safety is unimportant. /3

A paper from Harvard estimates the cost of Long Covid in the USA is now US$3.7 trillion, or about 17% of pre-Covid US GDP. They say it rivals the cost of the Great Depression. It really is time, now, for politicians to take this seriously. scholar.harvard.edu/files/cutler/f…

Here's the thing about school closures everyone forgets. Scientists fully expected decisionmakers to use the 1st lockdown to put in place MEASURES ato allow safe and permanent school opening. We were aghast when they failed to do so. Blame appropriately. cbsnews.com/news/fauci-sch…

The general response to COVID-19 remains reactionary over precautionary. Wait until the fire gets hot and starts to burn rather than taking very simple steps to not fuel the fire in the first place. This is a recipe for forever non-containment, forever burn.

Noticing a lot of your relatives are just not the same, health wise? Relatives dying after surgeries that were relatively low risk a few years ago? Today, this report from insurance giant Swiss Re puts numbers on the ongoing excess death toll attributable to Covid-19. From

So the province is restricting access to rapid tests (which cost about $1 each in bulk) So now I'm seeing people come to the hospital to get tested now, costing the system $1000. Really amazing to see.

Interesting that an immunologist focused on aging and a scientist focused on health equity are the ones wearing masks. It speaks volumes on who is being left behind in our community. The burden of responsibility is heavy under the weight of a few shoulders.

Wow. I’d seen reports earlier of a doubling of heart attack risks for COVID survivors, but to now see an overall increase of 66% for the entire population is really something. That and the drop in age for the average victim… You’d think public health would step in at some
