Long Covid is not a rare disease occurring in 1 in 9 adults after a Covid infection. It has the same prevalence as Diabetes which has received $235 million from Gov Canada for research. Based upon prevalence, Long Covid should receive the same funding.

“Even without hospitalization, many of these infections have long-term consequences, from organ damage and immune issues to increased risks of cancer and dementia. It’s unconscionable that we aren’t doing everything we can to reduce these risks"

BC is having one of the worst flu seasons in years with ERs overrun or closed, pregnant patients diverted to other hospitals and seniors sick and dying in nursing homes with no action from the Medical Health Officer who has not been seen for months.

Pregnant people who received a COVID-19 vaccine were far less likely to experience severe illness or deliver their babies prematurely, according to a major new UBC-led study published in JAMA.

BC Provincial Health's job should be protecting the health of all children and adults in BC, not contributing to the epidemic of science misinformation.

🚨 Nov 5, Dr Bonnie Henry, BC's PHO and Dr Reka Gustafson, Island Health's CMHO, were part of a panel.
In her opening remarks Dr. Gustafson repeated BC Public Health's lies about children not transmitting Covid in schools and not getting seriously ill.

Covid poses an "existential threat to human health".
Every infection increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, dementia, dysregulation of the immune system and reactivation of viral infections.
Children are having Long COVID.

Kids and teenagers face a significantly higher risk of various PASC outcomes after reinfection with SARS-CoV-2.
We need to support vaccination, ongoing research for PASC, identify high-risk subgroups, and improve prevention and care strategies.

Healthcare and education sector workers have had the highest number of COVID claims with WorkSafeBC.
They will continue to become sick with COVID even if WorkSafeBC has stopped posting the claims as of January 2025.

COVID cases in BC and across Canada are increasing, decreased waste water testing and reporting is not going to prevent people from getting sick and hospitals becoming overrun.
19 Sep 2025
I had not seen this change to wastewater reporting both in coverage and frequency.
Typical @CDCofBC & BC PHO's approach to disappearing an ongoing pandemic "don't test, don't tell, don't show and don't know."
What could go wrong?

ALT BC CDC Wastewater report updated on September 18, 2025. Data is presented up to the reporting period of epi week 37 (September 7-13, 2025). The wastewater surveillance program has implemented some new changes starting September 11, 2025: 1) The number of wastewater treatment plants tested has been changed to eight province wide, as opposed to previously twelve wastewater treatment plants. 2) There will now be one sample collected per wastewater treatment plant per week, as opposed to previously three samples per treatment plant per week. 3) Sequencing of wastewater samples will change from weekly to every two weeks. Key messages Fraser & Vancouver Island have High levels of SARS-CoV-2 in their wastewater and it is increasing. The most abundant variant lineage is NB.1.8.1 All other Health Authorities are at moderate and increasing with the same predominant lineage, except for Vancouver Coastal Health which is a moderate/high.

The BOHS in the UK is officially recommending respirators in healthcare settings.
Let’s hope that the CSA standard Z94.4 for the use of respirators in all healthcare settings will become official in Canada to protect healthcare workers and patients.

BREAKING!
At last!
In the UK, we have official guidance on the use of respirators (FFP3) vs Fluid Resistant Surgical Masks (FRSM) which has been prepared SPECIFICALLY FOR THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR.
