Mask up indoors. Push for clean indoor air. Give a nod to everyone still doing their best in an impossible situation, even if they aren't doing as much as you are or as much as you think they ought to be.

RT if you agree. Watch how many of us are still out there trying.

Exposure to *commensal microbes* is important for early immune system development in young children.

Infection with *pathogenic viruses* in infancy can disrupt that and lead to long-term morbidity.

Always a great comfort to know that this co-worker has the back of all of my Dean's Suite co-workers and me -- every minute of every work day. It's effort is illustrated in the thread below.

It's not rocket science, folks, but it does it's job so well.

Conditions increasingly favorable for severe weather east of Montreal towards the Townships with the sun heating up and destabilizing the atmosphere.

100km/h winds at the Dorval Airport. Heading right through downtown Montreal next. Now is the time to head inside. #QCstorm

Scary stuff! Quite close to people's homes. Mt. Seymour Forest Fire in Vancouver, BC this evening. #bcstorm

[Brad604 @Brad604]

I know the Mt. Seymour Fire gets all the spotlight tonight due to its extreme proximity to highly populated areas in Vancouver, BC. But checking the current Fire Map for the rest of the Province. Holy f***!!!

Little girl wreaks havoc in her parents' cabinet. And she's got a pretzel! And a dog! Can't help loving this painting by Sebastian Stosskopf of Strasbourg.

This is why the whole with COVID vs from COVID nonsense is laughable. COVID made him sick enough to get dehydrated, pass out, and get a subdural hematoma! Many, many others get significant exacerbations of underlying medical conditions with infection. Clean indoor air anyone?

Well worth a read. Allison is a terrific journalist. https://t.co/AtG1sgE6Cr

Canadian COVID Canada Forecast: July 8-14

QUEBEC: HIGH

🟠About 1 of every 102 people infected

Compared to lowest point of pandemic in Canada:

🟠Infections, estimated long COVID 5X higher
🟠Hospital, ICU admissions 3X higher
🟠Deaths 4X higher

[Tara Moriarty @MoriartyLab]

Black lines: predicted excess COVID deaths
Blue lines: actual excess all-cause mortality
Pink lines: COVID deaths reported by provinces

Clearly, Canada has a reporting problem

Shown here: NB, QC, ON, MB

Celebrating a whole school year where kiddo did not get Covid even once. School is so well ventilated, you feel a chill from the airflow from all the filters.
As a result, we didn't get sick, we didn't miss a day of work, we didn't get Long Covid, we kept older family members safe.
Ventilation is 90% of the battle.
Fight and make sure your kids' classrooms have excellent ventilation this September.

The hospital unmasking experiment went so badly in the UK.
The BMA have politely asked for it to stop.
