8 - myth long covid is over 7 - myth covid 19 vaccine cause long covid 6 - Myth Long COVID is not real - it's just stress and anxiety 5 - Myth Long COVID is another word for laziness and excuse to stop 3 - Myth Long COVID is just a bit tired. 2 - Myth Long COVID only affects people with underlying health issues. 1 - Myth Being young and fit protects you from Long COVID

Par ailleurs, si les mythes pointés par l'OMS sont vraiment des mythes, la fiabilité des autorités sanitaires de notre pays en est-elle elle aussi un ?

En effet, depuis 2023, les campagnes de vaccination reprennent les mythes 1 & 2.

Si le Covid Long continue d'être un problème, c'est aussi que nous sommes dans une pandémie longue, et pas dans la crise courte, à peu près limité aux confinements, dont parlent ceux qui disent "après le covid".

Long Covid ruled as occupational disease in nurses - Switzerland Long Covid confirmed as an occupational disease in nurses.

But of course it is!
The fact that this is up for debate is the real head-scratcher here.

It was a long ETFO peel meeting tonight.
Both motions I presented were approved unanimously🙏
Next step to lobbying the Ministry of Education to invest in cleaner indoor air, better monintoring & education re: IAQ in all schools is to present these motions for approval at the AGM in the summer.

This is terrific news! So much work and advocacy went into this! 💓🎉

Experts Call For N95s Over Surgical Masks As Flu, Covid Viruses Spread World Health Network experts urge WHO to make N95, KN95, or FFP2 respirators the standard for protection for healthcare workers, not inferior surgical masks.

"In occupational safety law, proof does not require epidemiological certainty. It requires reasonable foreseeability of harm and availability of safer alternatives. Laboratory filtration data, engineering standards and aerosol physics satisfy that threshold."

The physics of aerosol spread is the same in hospitals and clinics as it is on farms. But physicians and nurses don't know any aerosol physics, and for some reason they are allowed to set their own completely anti-science guidelines, which will get people killed.

This.
This is the problem.
OH and S standards are different for HCWs and for the life of me (and them) I can't understand why.

There is someone sitting in this dead silent library…

Coughing and coughing and coughing…

Blowing their nose…

Coughing again.

Totally hear you — OCD makes the ‘what if I touched something?’ alarm go off at max volume. But here’s the thing most people don’t want to accept: We already have the equivalent of the study you’re asking for… it’s just written across 6 years of global epidemiology, physics, and basic biology. If handwashing mattered more than breathing shared air, the pandemic would’ve ended in March 2020.

We do. But no one is listening.

Elana Levin @levin.bsky.social • 4h Respect Alice Wong's call here: "When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don't care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving."

you don’t get to indulge in whataboutism as an excuse to not do anything.

stop insisting COVID-aware folk want you to shut down the world. we’re asking you to open it up—for everyone.

so be a big boy/girl: wear a mask, and it you want to help disabled people, take a cue from the late alice wong:

We are looking for teachers willing to test Jasper, a CO2 monitor in their classrooms. Jasper is a prototype and we would like to receive user feedback as soon as possible from several countries. If you are interested, please fill out the form: letsair.org/jasper

The CSA’s revised standard on respirators should help us all breathe easier New draft standards for respirator use recognize the importance of protecting workers and patients in health-care settings, where there is a higher risk of pathogen exposure

Canada is leading in safety with the new draft of the CSA standard on respirators.

@dickzoutman.bsky.social, @juliamwright.bsky.social, @mark-ungrin.bsky.social, and I explain key updates that bring protections up to date with the evidence on respirator use against airborne disease transmission.

Weird because I could have sworn the NYT told us we shouldn't worry about these viruses and should just get back to brunch

Considering the risks COVID poses to infants and mothers, it’s astounding that obstetricians warn their patients about sushi but not about the airborne pathogen that shall not be named. The institutional denial runs deep and is costing us dearly.

Still waiting for clean air in N.S. schools - Halifax Examiner Why are we letting our children breathe contaminated air, when there are proven solutions?

www.halifaxexaminer.ca/commentary/s... wonderful new piece in @halifaxexaminer.ca 💕

I offered to buy a room size air purifier for at least one schoolroom but was told I couldn't, and Education and Health were following accepted guides for air quality.

My flabbers are completely and utterly gasted… 🥲🤦🏻‍♀️

With everything going on I was just thinking about the COVID response again and how this ideology, where leaders here thought everyone make their own personal choices was the most important thing to preserve during a public health crisis, literally killed thousands of people

I saw a thing the other day that basically said “no matter what prompt you give it, the question an LLM is answering is ‘what would a plausible response to this prompt look like?’”

“Post”-COVID.

Don’t take medical advice from AI.

Don’t take legal advice from AI.

Don’t take financial advice from AI.

Better yet, stop using generative AI. It’s destroying the environment, it generates slop and is destroying the internet, artists, creativity and our brains.

It's never too late to start masking again if you've stopped, especially in health care settings. Long COVID is now the #1 chronic health condition in kids

You probably learned about homonyms in school: words that are pronounced or spelled the same but differ in meaning.

bear (animal)
bear (carry)

But did you know there are actually two kinds of homonyms: homophones and homographs.

Let’s dew this.

So someone came on CBC this week to say 20% of Covid infections result in long COVID & it's just business as usual. No one realizes how dire this stat is.

And CBC keeps on forcing its staff to work in offices with no mitigations
