Replacing the 2+ year old hepa in the kids bedroom. New filter at left in both images; Old filter pre-external dust removal (left image; we do this every few months) & after dust removal (right image).

As this shows, indoor air is not clean unless you make it so, often containing particles like allergens & smoke, & of course airborne pathogens incl. common cold viruses, flu, RSV, measles, TB and COVID. The kids spend 11 hours a day in that room so it's worth cleaning (as is the whole house).

We all spend on average 90% of our time indoors yet there are no standards for clean indoor air; unlike outdoor air, drinking water and food that are all heavily regulated. The recent advances published in @ScienceMagazine & by @WHO are so significant in this regard.

It's long overdue for policy action to take breathing clean air from a personal responsibility to a public health right.

And it's also excellent airborne pandemic preparedness.

Every spring, cows in Sweden get let out of the barn when it's warm enough after being indoors all winter.

@Gasp4Change Are there plans to keep running these rallies? Extensive research on resistance to repressive govts show that if 3.5% of pop reliably involved, can force govts to resign. Keep up the social pressure!

The people’s referendum results are in! 🗳️ A massive pile of ballots were delivered to the government yesterday, as 400,000 & counting Ontarians voted on this critical issue with an overwhelming 99% of voters opposed to the privatization of Ontario’s public hospital services🧵⬇️

A heartfelt thanks to for the concern about my young patient with COVID pneumonia.

Update- After a rough night with O2 drops in the mid-80's, she's MUCH better after high-dose inhaled budesonide.

Sign & retweet to help PREVENT this:

@Jade_Hugs_Trees It sounds a little draconian and doesn't bode well for immigrants but I understand the reasoning. We are being governed to death in the western world.

Love this

A 17-yr old saw a need for early identification of infections after surgery, particularly in under resourced locations

Invented sutures dyed w beet juice that change color when the pH of an incision changes due to an infection

Clever

Minden Hospital ER and all in-patient services will close June 1. The province has hundreds of millions for unnecessary private surgical centres and yet is choking the life out of rural, remote and small town hospitals. This decision must be reversed.

[B.Yaroski @CoeurdC]

@ukrainiansquad Sending you all blessings and prayers for peace.

Ford claims that paving over farmland to build expensive sprawl is a “no brainer”.  Ontario needs smart & sustainable planning to build needed homes.
