Wow, this place sure is awful these days, ain't it?

A family took their 5 month old to Nanaimo hospital. Was sick for a couple of days then fever of 104. The dr. thought bladder infection. Nope! Then he sent them home saying 'probably a virus' a few days later, everyone is sick with covid. #fireBonnie #MaskUp

Out of words, except these I've been repeating for going on 3 years now.

CLEAN INDOOR AIR

Do that: all but long-term damage dies out in a matter of weeks. Finis.

Don't bother: more death, disabilty, and a slow grind to an economic halt - too few healthy workers.

The best time to avoid covid was the last four years.

The second best time is now.

This should be Front page news.

If any of my friends here still need a ticket out, and would like to fly the skies- hit me up.

How bad is flying right now? Airlines like Alaska Airlines are not venting their aircraft sufficiently.

My husband is on an Alaska Air flight with an @AranetIoT CO2 monitor and it’s showing the highest levels we’ve ever seen. “Healthy” CO2 is under 800 parts per million.

Jess Jessica 🏃‍♀️👟👟❄️💨🌦️🌱🌷🌞💉😷🇨🇦🇮🇹🏳️‍🌈 And now it starts. It’s not like people haven’t been warning the “you HAVE TO come back to work in person”/ “It’s just a cold” crowd that this was going to happen
Maybe now they’ll pay attention to unsafe working conditions

May your weekend be blessed with no ER closures, no maternal care closures and no paramedics in code red.

Do you want to hang out, and I can just purr on your hand like this?

BC hospitalizations up 58% in two weeks. When public health is reluctant to caution the public and recommend mitigations like masking AT THE RIGHT MOMENT the virus gains full surge ability unimpeded, and we witness full surge results.

Joe Oliver Isaac Bogoch Dear CBC - each COVID infection increases the risk to the individual and, on a societal level, puts strain on our hospitals. The evidence is clear, Isaac Bogoch is irresponsible to suggest otherwise and ask Joe Oliver to explain. He refused to get a puppy, so has free time.

I fully expect that one day we will learn women are more likely to have an autoimmune disorder because we disproportionately work in people-oriented, high exposure fields and as society’s caregivers, can’t take the time to adequately rest through illness.

COVID offers three possible paradigm shifts. If they’re true, and if we actually accept them, so much changes:

- Much of disease transmission is airborne
- The biggest impact of viruses is chronic disease
- Virus exposure harms, not helps, immune systems

'It makes no sense.' - Dr. Lyne Filiatrault, on the absurdity of requiring masks in only some healthcare settings.

'Protect Our Province BC believes masks should never have been removed from BC healthcare last spring, and the current mandate is too little too late.'

Indeed.

Isaac Bogoch We can hope that there is such a mechanism.

And, at the same time, we can take concrete measures using proven solutions that work at both the population and individual levels.

Not just for COVID.

We need to clean the air. Call in the industrial hygienists and engineers. Now.

200 YEARS of painstaking gains in education on public hygiene and infection control that ppl fought for in blood. just...GONE.

thanos snapped in an instant, bc people wanted shitty margaritas and a waitress to yell at. 😭😭
