Are long COVID sufferers falling through the cracks? Researchers who study long COVID say its debilitating symptoms are often misdiagnosed by clinicians and dismissed by employers or loved ones because so little is known about the new syndrome.

โ€œPrincess myceliaโ€?? Well I wonโ€™t take that literally.

Anyhooโ€ฆ I mean that itโ€™s implicit bias and ego defensiveness resulting in medical trauma. We are not great at admitting we simply donโ€™t know - and these mostly young women with LongCovid symptoms are getting gaslit on the daily. Check a forum.

I absolutely agree with this rationally. Except the global policy is to ignore the many people who are suffering chronic consequences, to the point that theyโ€™re gaslit or dismissed. By drawing attention to an ongoing phenomenon with no preventative measures, it reminds us that many more are at risk.

Please mention how we need to rip up the contract with CocaCola / Dasani that keeps bottling our tap water.

Iโ€™m pretty sure thatโ€™s plastic leaching from their bottles. We get pure glacial runoff, likely why they stole it.

This is one more example of how the USA exploits Canadian natural resources, literally stealing our foundational needs right from under us. And weโ€™ve let them. All of this needs to be reevaluated, not just at the municipal level, but federally as well. Such agreements should not be allowed. 4/4

What we absolutely need to do is cancel this contract and use the water for citizens. The company are not forced to restrict their production during this time where citizens are asked to. And people didnt, so we are in the โ€œred zone.โ€ So - not enough water to deal with emergencies like fire. 3/4

There is a Coca-Cola manufacturing and distribution facility in NE Calgary that produces Dasani bottled water using Calgaryโ€˜s tapwater. It operates 24/7 taking our water supply and selling it for profit. They made this agreement with Calgary when we thought we had an endless supply of water. 2/4

Calgaryโ€™s water main broke. It bashed up one of our main roads, (Highway 1 that goes across Canada). Itโ€™s put local citizens under water restriction. But hereโ€™s the deeper reality. 1/4

and because I know the science around masking is sound. Cherry-picking & misleading research doesnโ€™t change the scientific consensus that high-quality masks, ventilation, and vaccines are valid preventative measures that save lives and healthspans. Your article shows a lack of critical appraisal.2/2

As a physician who masks in public spaces to avoid getting and transmitting COVID, it has nothing to do with anxiety & everything to do with science: not acutely killing the elderly I love & those I serve, not transmitting serious chronic autoimmune and vascular disease to 10% of those infected 1/2

The Resonant Computing Manifesto Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worstโ€”a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now โ€œWhat the hell is transgender?โ€
The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with โ€œThatโ€™s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy.

โ€˜Transgenderโ€™ putting  describes someone whose gender โ€“ who they know themselves to be โ€“ doesnโ€™t match the sex they were assigned at birth. Itโ€™s not new, and itโ€™s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; weโ€™re just finally talking about it openly.

You donโ€™t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. Thatโ€™s how decent folks handle things theyโ€™re still getting used to.โ€

Include mental health, dental and eye care, and rehab medicine - then YESSSS we need universal pharmacare in Canada. And also a focus on #LifestyleMedicine - sleep, exercise, connection, diet, and recovery for all as medicine.

Our biggest Canadian outbreaks were in meat packing plants, especially among newcomers. The refugee clinic stepped into help a specific response but the plants themselves did nothing to protect their workers until their bottom line was affected.

Whatโ€™s most at risk is food, water, clean air, and safety (physical and psychological). And no politicians are meeting their global commitments. Canadaโ€™s budget should reflect the climate-related polycrisis. There is no prosperity without a livable planet. @mark-carney.bsky.social
