It’s hard to believe in 2026 people are still asking “did you mask before covid?” As some kind of gotcha.
When things change, you adapt.
When you learn, you change your behaviour.
If I had known an N95 could prevent illness this effectively, I would have worn one sooner!

Covid is a social justice issue.
If you’re fighting fascism, you should care about Covid.
It’s a mass disabling event.
It disproportionally kills and disables marginalized people.
Mitigations cost money. Paid time off is rare. Healthcare is under siege.

For much of the pandemic, reassurance about #Covid in #pregnancy rested on one idea: babies didn’t test positive.
New research shows why that was incomplete -- and why exposure in the womb, not infection at birth, is the real concern.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Something that isn’t mentioned about #Davos this week is that the whole event, as in previous years was mitigated throughout with Hepa air purifiers. Attendees were also encouraged to covid test before attending. #Covidisnotover

It's kinda amazing the depth and breadth of the positive reaction to the Carney Davos speech. I get it - Canadians like when int'l people laud us. But Carney said similar things during the election campaign and we've seen how he's governed since. I'm almost stupefied by how naive everyone is being.

Speeches are great but a reminder that what we're getting here in Canada so far is:
* Tax cuts for the wealthy
* Militarization and more surveillance powers
* More oil, less action on climate change.
* Austerity and cuts to the public service
* Deals with authoritarian regimes

A few simple steps would make everyone healthier:
Clean air in public spaces.
Paid time off.
Free respirators for anyone who needs them.
Mandatory masking in healthcare.
Our rush back to “normal” has ensured a never ending cycle of sickness, death & disability.
It doesn’t have to be this way.

Graph keeps going up. BC Public Health keeps doing nothing much. Measles has a 1-2 in a thousand fatality rate. Look for the first death in the next few months. It could have been prevented by clean air upgrades in schools or a school vaccine mandate. The BC NDP chose death as more politically easy.

SARS-CoV-2 emerged in 2019. We have learned much about it since then, but I assure you there is much left to learn. The normalisation of this virus is both premature and dangerous. A new pathogen is infecting humans and some animals; unpredictable effects are to be expected.
