If covid infections make you *more vulnerable* to almost every other pathogenic infection by multiple mechanisms, then you'd expect increases in almost every other pathogenic infection. And that's what we see. Ten completely unsurprising news stories:

New hospital study: air purifiers cut airborne COVID by 98%. Rooms with HEPA ventilation had zero virus detected. Clean air is essential public health infrastructure — not a luxury. Study: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #CorsiRosenthal #CleanAir #PublicHealth

"Hopefully in 2025, our leaders will realize that the societal, and economic costs of not providing clean air in daycares, schools and school buses are too great for them not to act." @ONSchoolSafety agrees! canadahealthwatch.ca/2025/01… @arijitchakrav @TRyanGregory @DrFiliatrault

It’s still hasn’t occurred to you that many people eating out less due to the risk of infections in crowded restaurants. Especially during the winter months. Will your association ever step up and provide your members with the info they need to make indoor dining safer?
Restaurants are facing low consumer demand. Canadians are eating out less as they struggle with affordability, as shown in our most recent React Survey. That is why Restaurants Canada has been urging the federal government for months to provide real cost relief to Canadians and restore consumer confidence to stimulate discretionary spending. Restaurants Canada’s Chief Economist’s analysis shows the GST and HST holiday will serve as a strong incentive for price-conscious consumers to loosen their budgets during the two-month exemption period.

Many can escape the pandemic already. They can just refuse to socialise. Yes if they have kids, if they need hospitals or aged care (for example), they will have enforced high-risk situations. But quite a lot of people are not in that situation. A short thought experiment. /1

How can @CMA_Docs apologize for historic harms while still committing them in the present? There is still rampant racism towards Indigenous people in Canada’s healthcare system. TW: One of the last reports of forced sterilizations was as recent as 2019. ctvnews.ca/health/canada-s-i…

This is what I've been waiting for. It could finally give us a real ending to the pandemic. No more waves of illness, no more rushing for tests and antivirals if you're elderly or vulnerable. Hope this comes out soon!

Sooooooo many ppl who've just returned to work or school in Ontario have #Covid right now. Doesn't help that access to vaccines is now very limited. Worse for Paxlovid. My #LongCovid referral list keeps growing. 😷#CovidIsNotOver

It's undeniable that schools are the issue to address, yet they are undeniably receiving next to zero action to do so. It is going to take us all rising up and demanding this action NOW to save our future! cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/more…

Ontario wastewater testing ends today. This is a colossally foolish policy decision. I discussed some of it at the link below. But I also want to list some of the issues in this thread. canadahealthwatch.ca/2024/06… [1/1]
