1/🧵Important Thread
For those working in unsafe conditions, this thread highlights which sections of the Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) Act may apply to your situation. You can highlight them in an unsafe work claim. It’s BC specific but may apply elsewhere. #bced#bcpoli
"For young children in particular, they don't seem to be as affected by it. They don't seem to have as severe illnesses."
Dr. Bonnie Henry
Officer of the Order of Canada on June 30, 2025.
I was absolutely appalled to hear Bonnie Henry say "Personal Protective Equipment, the word we all dread".
You may have had an instant visceral reaction to that yourself, but here are the eleven things wrong with what she said:
The outbreak of #Ebola#Bundibugyo is now the 3rd largest on record. The #WHO country rep in DRC, Anne Ancia, told the World Health Assembly today that the suspected case count is now over 500, with 130 suspected deaths.
This will be hugely difficult to contain. unognewsroom.org/story/en/31…
So, @GovCanHealth updated #Measles infection prevention guidance Jan. N95s for staff AND VISITORS if measles suspected. And it can be asymptomatic, so ...
Surprise! Bonnie Henry is NOT in line with best practice &/or DGAF about protecting HCWs or public.

With the tragic news this week of the death of a child under age 5 while COVID positive, POPNB has launched a new petition demanding an update on clean air promises made to NBers and for @Gov_NB to acknowledge airborne transmission. Sign here: chng.it/HTf9NZfMsk#nbpoli /1

Key points
About one-third of COVID-19 survivors suffer from a variety of symptoms long after they were first infected.
Long-term COVID-19 appears to be driven by a coronavirus persisting in the body, causing prolonged infection.
The current treatment approach is based mainly on rehabilitation therapy.
This may be one of the most important studies in a decade.

"The models produced correctly classified those with severe ME/CFS from recovered controls with an accuracy of 97%, sensitivity of 94%, and specificity of 100%. "
THAT IS HUGE.
Chicago researchers followed 4501 college students and found that those with low pre-illness IL-5 and IL-13, plus gut issues, had an 80% chance of developing ME/CFS after Epstein–Barr mononucleosis.

Toronto-Quebec City- Vancouver
⚠️ BREAKING:
U.S. 🇺🇸 reports 3.052 million new COVID-19 cases in a single week, with 436,000 daily infections.
Currently, 1 in every 110 Americans is infected with COVID-19.
Transmission rates are now higher than at any point during 43.7% of the pandemic.
On March 11, 2020, when much of the world was screaming for things to be locked down, Dr. Henry, herself no stranger to pandemics, told the country and the world that "we have very low risk."
Time was lost, and soon, lives.
There's never been an accounting of these failures.

Imagine being told COVID wasn't a threat, then fighting for your life on a ventilator. That's Michael's story, & it's happening in Sweden. The early pandemic narrative here was deeply flawed.

Shocking revelations surfaced in The NYT regarding the recent phone calls between Trudeau and Trump. According to the report, Trump, while listing grievances against Canada, expressed his desire to revise the border between the US and Canada without providing any justification

Increased mortality and serious health issues for those hospitalised with COVID
New international research has highlighted the increased risks COVID patients who have been hospitalised face, with health impacts often lasting years after infection. abc.net.au/news/2025-02-28/l…
Excellent interview, worth a listen.
2 small corrections: we’re not Post-Covid but rather still dealing with an ongoing pandemic though #Influenza and #H5N1 are now taking centre stage.
As for #CO2 on planes, it is not affected by filtration, only by air exchange or ventilation.
AIR-BORNE, @carlzimmer 's new book, is an enthralling deep dive into airborne diseases. The colossal failure to recognize that #COVIDisAirborne is thoroughly reviewed. In the new Ground Truths podcast (link in profile)
