Message for anyone who has ever "stood up to cancer" by completing a Terry Fox Run, donating money, wearing a ribbon, etc.: there is something simple you can do —today— to reduce cancer deaths: wear an N95/FFP2+ mask indoors. Who knows, your kind act may even save your own life.

@1goodtern 1. Every covid infection damages your body, whether you notice the damage or not. 2. Covid can produce profound long-term suffering. 3. LC affects people just like you. 4. LC has no cure. 5. LC can be prevented by N95s & air cleaning but not by diet & exercise & moral virtue.

To end this pandemic, and to build enough political will to properly study and treat LC (& other immune-stressor-onset chronic illness like ME), these are the types of messages people need to hear. 👇 13/

@1goodtern 1. Every covid infection damages your body, whether you notice the damage or not. 2. Covid can produce profound long-term suffering. 3. LC affects people just like you. 4. LC has no cure. 5. LC can be prevented by N95s & air cleaning but not by diet & exercise & moral virtue.

I’m not sure if it’s the latest strain that is circulating or the lack of uptake on recent boosters/vaccinations but our COVID patients currently are presenting & deteriorating like in 2020-2022. Very critically ill & unstable, coding, very high oxygen needs…it’s scary.

@TheChefsGardens It’s because our hospital systems are moving into surge planning, they have no choice. In my county (two refrigerated morgue trucks - one has been here since beginning of COVID, the second arrived last summer; and the parking lot surge tent just went up as well) 👇🏻

@KunstJonas People choosing not to wear masks in indoor settings are like cigarette smokers' blowing around incredibly noxious toxic smoke, where even a single exposure to the smoker can result in death or a lifetime of disabling ill health. Time to ban all toxic air in public indoor spaces.

Some hotels have Infinity pools, we have an Infinity Hallway in our hospital. 10-15 EMS crews at any time, trying to offload patients to an emergency room with no beds. Stay safe out there folks.

This 👇 is how DBH responded to this BCCDC e-mail. "Lack of clear data" about Long Covid and being "not aware" of concerns got translated to the public as "There has been no LC and there are no concerns."

@AltenbergLee Great prediction, but I wish Dr. Pearl would've offered up the basis for his prediction. The thesis of the piece is that culture + virus will make people stop caring about covid, but *how*? What's described 👇 is survivorship bias & defeatism -- which are psychology, not culture.

@MichaelPelusoMD @ahandvanish Thanks for this excellent research! Am I correct that only 1 LC patient ( #23 ) was tested more than 2 years after infection? If you didn't really look for activation & persistence after 2 years, then it's extremely important to change "up to 2 years" to "at least 2 years."

Extra points suggested by @SafetyinNumbrz (): (24) It was based on institutional power that the experimenter was able to self-declare her research as ethical & release data of her unwitting, nonconsenting lab-rat constituents to external researchers.

@dreamy_run More problems: * study author(s) also controlled own "ethics" review, bypassing normal external controls * study excluded age-stratified control group (in this case, one which kept protections) * results misinterpreted by authors, who claim it doesn't show schools drive cases

There were 10,435 patients in B.C. hospitals as of Tuesday. The previous peak was 10,280, same week last year. Does this seem like public health measures are no longer needed? Testing, masking, ignoring airborne spread, cohorting c19 pts w/ non c19 pts?

What do you call it when you know your body might be full of deadly poison, but instead of blocking the poison, you breathe it out at people, and someone else breathes it in and dies?

(26 cont'd) (b) children are more susceptible to Omicron infection than other age groups. The interpretation section of the paper makes no mention of those possibilities. Moreover, in various speeches, the experimenter has repeatedly and doggedly declared the exact opposite.
