Everyone likes to talk about the 'six degrees of separation' when it comes to connections to famous people... ...but likes to ignore them when it comes to SARS2 chains of transmission. We are all connected. Until we remember this, we can't meaningfully protect anyone. #BCPoli

"Well, I've had COVID twice, you know, what does this do to me?" Watch that penny drop... :/ Wait until most people in BC discover that your doctor won't post-COVID screen your heart, because they haven't explicitly been told to - they will wait for Sx.

Babies & other small humans can't tell us they have brain fog. So, how will they communicate? Via their behaviour. And then adults will come online & complain about how kids are so horrible now, and they can't understand why. Adults - we fucked over our kids' generation.

Today I learned that I have completely underestimated and misunderstood brain-fog post COVID - and it is terrifying. In my mind I kind of had this impression that COVID brain-fog was just feeling a little bit forgetful or feeling very tired, and my god I was very, very wrong.

We actually DID have a choice: We could use layered protections. Source control: Test, Trace, Isolate, Support, Masking Other NPIs: Improved ventilation and filtration of indoor air, better vaccines. What is wrong with doctors?! And why are they in charge instead of engineers?

@broadwaybabyto It costs a lot of money. AND If they put these policies in place, and infection rates drop, then their 'it's droplets! wash your hands!' lies will be thrown into sharp relief. They can't admit they were wrong.

COVID is airborne. Lack of sleep, overwork, don’t cause you to contract SARS viruses. Lack of awareness (deliberate?) and a need to follow the crowd during a massive wave will guarantee it though. Also: covid is not a souvenir.

Ugh: DNCovid-24. I brought home an unfortunate souvenir from #DNC2024 . And so did many of my fellow convention crew. I guess 4 hours of sleep a night + endless work + close indoor proximity to so many people = my first COVID since the NBA Finals in 2021.

Y’all, Bonnie Henry has advised people to wear masks in crowded indoor spaces before. This isn’t new. She never defines ‘crowded indoor space’ - for example, schools, which are definitely crowded, and indoors. It’s concerning that we’ve glommed onto her repeating herself…

🙄 Shouldn't the "top doctor" know that COVID & Flu vaccines aren't yet available- & won't be before school starts? Also, forcing parents to take extra steps (needing to go to special clinics) to get a COVID vaxx for their kids makes them less accessible, when they finally ARE.
