"Schools have been calling on the Government to roll out air cleaning units to [supplement] ventilation for months." 2022. Still waiting.

Usually I don’t talk about stuff like this because frankly it happens way too often. But not today… As I pulled into the same faculty parking lot that I park in all the time Mississippi State, a white woman was coming out of my office building. Her car was parked next to the space I

This week, the head of the NIAID justified the lack of masking at a Long COVID meeting with the argument that "people want to be normal". In my latest, I unpack all the stigma, ableism, and disrespect for LC patients packed into her statement: thegauntlet.news/p/new-niaid-di…

"We discovered SARS-CoV-2 hijacks our coagulation cascade, and interferes with our clotting proteins, making them very inflammatory and damaging to the body and brain." Katerina Akassoglou PhD Katerina Akassoglou

My wife, in a 40-year career as a palliative care nurse, has found that people, once their symptoms are controlled, overwhelmingly want to live. Also 70% of those who go to Dignitas in Switzerland decide not to go through with it.

That’s us and our brilliant members, refusing to let it be the new norm that employers can just deduct 113 days of deductions for withholding a small portion of our job, or threaten 39 days of wage deductions for 3 days of strike. It’d be the end of workers’ rights, so we fight.

The ongoing transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is deeply concerning, as are outbreaks of Mpox and Marburg. But what concerns me the most, by far, is the steady movement of H5N1 towards human to human transmission and the apparent utter lack of institutional urgency at that possibility.

Some of Our Top Schools Are Embarrassing Themselves Over Covid “Why are places like Stanford and Johns Hopkins hosting gatherings of well-known coronavirus cranks” By Gregg Gonsalves for ⁦The Nation⁩ thenation.com/article/societ…

A few days old, but I only watched it today. Sometimes illuminating; sometimes infuriating. Bogoch's "everybody decide the risk for themselves" is grossly irresponsible in a time of rampant misinformation. tvo.org/video/has-ever…

There seems to have been an assumption from the beginning within the risk management field that Covid would be a time-limited threat: an acute, temporary risk circumstance that would, within a few months to years give way to a resumption of the pre-Covid risk status quo... 1/

The risk management field didn't set itself up psychologically for Covid being an continuous risk to health with end date. The idea that in 2024 & beyond Covid remains a material risk that needs to be mitigated just doesn't really register. An example of epistemic closure... 2/

COVID INQUIRY The IPC Cell drafted infection control guidance for Covid, based on the consensus of Cell members. But, as Dr Lisa Ritchie explains here, there were no formal votes & it was left to the Chair (her) to summarise what she believed to be the right consensus position.

Clean indoor air would mitigate Covid and also mitigate the effects of particulate pollution - 2 of our biggest public health concerns. As a bonus it also mitigates the spread of flu, RSV and winter colds. And future #airborne pandemics. Why don't we do it? #CleanAir

I can’t do this anymore. We are forced to forget everything we have learned about Covid over the last 5 years, & we have pretended to be puzzled FOR YEARS. Covid has been WRECKING our hearts since 2020. If you’re getting Covid, your heart is probably not okay. The first

Shaney Wright The insurance companies have adapted they won't insure anyone for COVID now for anything because there is no premium that would cover the likelihood and costs. Seems government when the plan failed just acted like it succeeded and almost everyone went along with it.

In Spain, a vaccination center displays on a large screen the CO2 levels measured in its premises. Checking the proper renewal of indoor air and informing the public about it must be a standard for all health centers. Source (in Spanish) : enfocatss.com/la-revolucion-…

Really important report released yesterday by the Chief Scientific Officer for Canada outlining how Long Covid “continues to have a broader socioeconomic impact on affected individuals and their families, as well as on the workforce & the economy”. science.gc.ca/site/science/e…

Fixing ventilation in schools is a time critical issue. As we head into winter, windows are closed & children are left in airtight rooms where viruses spread like wildfire. “Fixing ventilation is, quite literally, a problem the govt should have fixed while the sun was shining.”

Bridget Phillipson (Jan 2022): “Again, and again, and again, scientists have recommended – and Labour has demanded – action on ventilation in schools.” You’re the one in charge now, Bridget Phillipson. So who’s dithering, delaying and letting down our children now?

Every day, war crimes.
