A new study suggests babies exposed to COVID in the womb may have impacts on brain development, cognition, and emotional health.

Researchers found brain changes and a higher risk of delays, with 52% at high risk by age 2 compared with 14% of children born before the pandemic.
In utero COVID exposure linked to brain changes, developmental delays, anxiety, and depression

Canada finally reacts, through our foreign affairs minister (not our prime minister).

Really, embarrassingly timid statement when you consider what just happened.
Please see my statement on the situation in Venezuela:

Wow the people in these comments trying to downplay the brain damage of Covid infections is pretty bizarre.

To be clear: loss of smell/taste = damage to the olfactory region of the brain.

#CovidIsntOver
My husband's sense of smell came back stronger after losing it to covid, so it's not all bad news

Norovirus is airborne.

"There is also some risk of transmission via aerosolized particles, particularly if you’re around someone while they are experiencing symptoms like diarrhea or vomiting."

What is norovirus and how contagious is it?
Symptoms of the virus include diarrhea and vomiting and it infects about 684 million people globally every year

If I tracked the total amount of time in my typical day it takes to wear a respirator, I’ll bet it would be less than 10 seconds.

Let’s stop acting as if it’s such an inconvenience.

It’s really not.

I just finished a 7 day silent at-home meditation retreat, and I have some reflections about still coviding, and pressures to socialize.

I have a lot of respect for the new mayor of New York. They are giving good advice. Why aren’t Labour doing this? 🤷‍♀️

An important heads up!
But maybe a little light on underlying causes and possible solutions.
I'll provide my perspective on things in this mini-thread.

I will not be visiting any family for Xmas, because none of them take Covid precautions.

There is nothing they could say to convince me to do otherwise.

Looking forward to my quiet, safe, alone time.

Fun fact about the word zealot.

It comes from the name of a first century Jewish sect who fiercely resisted Roman rule of Palestine.
Well now "zealot" isnt the worst think Ive been called.

Instead of following shitty journalists who enact ableism, mischaracterize their interviewees, and cherry pick data please just follow disabled journalists who take their work seriously.
I spoke to the people who continue to shape their lives around avoiding Covid and only breathing ‘clean’ air

‘Refusing to mask during an ongoing pandemic is absolutely violent and it’s undeniably participating in social murder.’

It’s easy to claim that Covid is over when less than one percent of infections are being reported

#CovidIsntOver #MedSky #IDSky #MaskUp
In 2025, British Columbia detected/reported 0.2% of ~3.3M infections, 6% of ~18.4K hospitalizations, and 9% of ~3,600 premature deaths from COVID-19.

In Canada, ~0.3% of infections, ~15% of hospitalizations and ~6% of premature deaths from COVID-19 were detected/reported in 2025.

Sick and tired?

Influenza test positivity is very high in Ontario and remains the highest in children (5-11 yrs) at 73.3% and adolescents (12-19 yrs) at 67.3%. COVID-19 and RSV are also circulating.

These viruses are airborne: we get sick by breathing them in!

But it doesn't have to be this way!

"I think I will use condoms forever"

I spoke to the people who continue to shape their lives around avoiding HIV and only having 'safe' sex.
