If the lack of data
makes it difficult for you to know
exactly how bad
the current Covid wave is,
just look at the newspaper
of record’s recent headline:
“Covid is spreading again
this summer,”
and remember
if they have to admit
the virus isn’t gone
this wave must be pretty bad.

Patients deserve protection from airborne viruses. Whether it’s a routine visit or a critical test, health care providers across Canada must do better.

Patients with complex illness end up guilted in by incompetent specialists that changes in their illness and their symptoms are due to them stressing, rather than the disease advancing. And instead of investigations and treatment, people end up at home with some SSRI and risk loosing their life.

The sheer amount of H5N1 circulating in North America is deeply concerning. My suspicion is that the likelihood of a reassortment event with seasonal flu occurring is now high. Make no mistake, this situation has pandemic potential.
Stunning: 58 new #H5N1 #birdflu infected herds in California confirmed by #USDA today.

What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has an answer
Modelling study based on almost 250,000 positive COVID-19 tests in the United Kingdom shows that universal masking could have cut transmission markedly.

I’m often asked for a letter to provide friends, family members or colleagues that explains why I take SARS-CoV-2 so seriously and what I do to protect my family. I’ve written this personal letter to share my perspective & the steps I take. I hope it helps others. 🧵👇

You may think that neurological symptoms in #LongCovid are for old people, but it is the opposite. Young adults (18–44 years) and middle-aged (45–64 years) with mild acute #COVID cases (non-hospitalized), represent 90% of the cases of #NeuroCovid. Read here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Hey y’all. Many of you know I have a pretty serious neuro disease that, thanks to decades of government underinvestment, has zero FDA-approved treatments.
I’d be so grateful for the solidarity if you lent your name to this call for NIH to do better. Takes 1 min to sign. Thanks everyone <3

✨This petition will close TOMORROW, Nov 15!✨ We're over 7k-- next stop 10k!
In this political climate, it's more important than ever to tell NIH that we need to fund infection-associated chronic illnesses.
Sign & share widely!
