Just a human sick of watching political interests override healthcare & education. Stupidity and selfishness is winning. Time to smarten up.

Canadian COVID Forecast
Sep 23-Oct 6, 2023
SEVERE: CAN, BC, NB, NL, North, NS, ON, PEI, QC, SK
About 1 in 29 people are currently infected
14 school days in & 4 sick days for my kids already. I’m a teacher. I can’t be away 29% of this school year. Fix our schools. Fund & enforce ventilation & filtration requirements, invest in upper room UV, ⬇️ class sizes, ample paid sick days for all Ontarians. @Sflecce #onted
Hi Minister Lecce! My kid was NOT in class this week because he was already sick and had to miss school. Sadly, given that your government has done nothing to improve IAQ in Ontario public schools, I suspect this will happen to so many kids this year. What’s your plan? #onted

It’s time to mask up friends.
The wastewater signal from today is a pretty close match to what it was this time last year. As a reminder, last year our kids and paediatric healthcare system were hit really hard with a tripledemic of flu, COVID, and RSV.
We need to be using ALL the tools to keep our air clean & free from ALL airborne germs. A good mask is one that is well fitted, ideally an n95 or equivalent. @DonateMask has FREE masks - quality ones. Please do your part to keep everyone healthy and in class.
#IndoorAirQuality has never been more important. #MaskUp!

I had a minor mishap which has landed me in emergency. This is the room I was put in. This is Doug Ford’s Ontario #ONpoli

Not ominous at all. Besides, can't happen here because we listen to public health's recommendations and remember to stay hydrated when it's hot out.

Interesting review, lets recap because of its BIG IMPORTANCE and again C19 isn't a flu and can kill some of you even months after your initial C19, even if you didn't need Hospitalisation( so-called "mild")!!
➡️The review includes 6 studies involving over 12 million patients, demonstrating a strong connection between COVID-19 and elevated risks of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular thromboembolic events.
➡️The risk of these events is evident in conditions such as ischemic heart disease, stroke, and cardiac arrhythmias.
➡️The burden of these events beyond the acute phase of the disease is concerning, warranting further exploration of long-term implications(LONGCOVID).
➡️Variability in event rates among different cohorts and healthcare settings underscores the need for understanding underlying factors influencing these differences.
➡️Potential mechanisms behind these events include endothelial dysfunction, systemic inflammation, and viral invasion.
➡️This review serves as a valuable resource for healthcare providers, policymakers, and researchers to enhance patient care, outcomes, and preparedness for future waves of COVID-19 infections.
WARNING: anybody attributing the above to vaccines, will be put on a permanent block, because that's scientifically proven BS!!

Good morning, Ottawa. The levels of COVID-19 circulating in our community are high.
And while some things have changed since 2020, others have not: masks still work. A well-fitted mask will help protect you, and those around you.
It's a very simple thing that goes a long way.

A CDC study found
surgical masks in indoor public settings cut the chance of contracting the coronavirus by 66%.
Higher-quality N95 & KN95 masks reduced the risk of infection by 83%.
A mask protects not only against the coronavirus but other respiratory viruses, too.

Good news: If all goes as anticipated, updated COVID 💉targeting XBB.1.5 may be distributed in ~2 wks in 🇨🇦. Appears to be effective against EG.5.
If we're going to capitalize on mRNA technology to 'rapidly' update 💉, the reg process will need to be more PROactive, not REactive

You occasionally ask yourself if things are normal, don't you?
You see all these news stories about people dying suddenly, 42 year old ex-footballers, 47 year old comedians, 53 year old pop stars...
You think back to 2019 and wonder how many people were dying then...
😮
