Doing the right thing often means doing what is best for the greater or common good. Remember, even when all odds are against you, you're not alone. Stay strong

Typical June in Canada sees an estimated 150-250 cases of flu. This June in Canada is seeing an estimated 98,500-168,100 estimated Covid cases in one week. This is considered a "low" period for Covid. This much sickness year round is not acceptable or sustainable.

@michael_hoerger @waltz_tales Look, @1goodtern - Canada is going to try to get masking back in hospitals & airplanes! Best news of this week. Dr David Keegan is chairing! At least the rest of us can watch & dream. Plus read their studies, eh?! 🥰 #GoCanada

Masks are safety equipment. Plain & simple! #MaskUp

@michael_hoerger @pamwantspeace If you want to support Dr. Keegan, please follow him on Threads. I just did and I thanked him for masking.

It is commonly noted that it takes 15-20 years for efficacious interventions to translate into practice.

That is not merely a timeline for training the populace, but reflective of the time it takes for the rise of new leadership.

😷 BREAKING🚨

Canada launches a new National Advisory Committee on Preventive Health Services.

It will be chaired by Dr. David Keegan, a leading advocate for masks in healthcare and on airplanes who filed human rights litigation on both fronts.

WHY DID NONE OF YALL TELL ME THAT THIS BOOK EXISTED

[Barry Hunt @BarryHunt008]

I did the math

30% to 40% of REPORTED COVID cases in 🇨🇦 hospitals are HOSPITAL ACQUIRED

ACTUAL COVID cases are ~ 60% to 80% hospital acquired

5% to 10% of hospital acquired COVID patients DIE

So, in hospitals we need universal:

1. TESTS

2. N95s

3. UPPER AIR UV / FARUV

Did you know that there is a toolbox that contains resources about SARS-CoV-2 with sections such as Masking/Respirators and Clean the Air that are helpful for other airborne pathogens? Well, there is:

"Singapore saw the number of Covid-19 cases surge by 59% in just one week (May 10-16) with the total reaching 12,700..
This is a significant jump from the previous week’s total of 8,000 Covid cases..
The NB.1.8.1 variant, a descendant of the JN.1 variant, is the main Covid-19 variant circulating in Singapore, accounting for more than half of locally sequenced cases..
The surge could be due to several factors, including waning population immunity.."

Waning interest must be one of these factors.

It's widely accepted that hantavirus transmits from rodent excreta to humans via inhalation of aerosolized virus, so I don't understand why we're so reluctant to acknowledge the inhalation route for human-to-human transmission.

People who tested positive for #COVID have a higher risk of being diagnosed with other infections in the following months. This has been shown for years and hundreds of publications in the topic. Covid has an impact on the immune system we still don't fully understand.

[Cat in the Hat 🐈‍⬛ 🎩 🇬🇧 @_CatintheHat]

A growing number of scientists have been sounding the alarm recently about how repeated Covid infections may be damaging our immune systems…

@DailyMail Thank you for reporting on this - it’s so refreshing to see the inconvenient truths that so many scientists have been warning about for years actually being reported in mainstream media.

@MidwestAViDD The FDA has been evaluating @ShionogiUS's Xocova application for nine months, and they have an "action date" set for June. Sign this petition to urge the FDA to approve Xocova!

The drug is a very valuable tool for combating #COVID19 and #LongCOVID!

🚨📢 Call to action!

Sign this petition to urge the FDA to approve @ShionogiUS’s Xocova, a 2nd generation COVID-19 antiviral that will give us prophylaxis and treatment options beyond Paxlovid.

A decision date is currently set for June 16th, and we’re going to need all the help that we can get to push this approval through, because the FDA offices that will need to issue an approval are currently in complete turmoil:

• Just today, Politico announced that FDA commissioner Makary is resigning, and will be replaced by acting commissioner Kyle Diamantas: https://t.co/pQ06YqbbOb

• The FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) is now led by Tracy Beth Høeg, one of the worst anti-science hacks that this administration has to offer. Just last week, it was widely reported that she personally got involved against Sanofi’s type 1 diabetes drug in a disagreement with staff: https://t.co/CLfbj8OKSF

• Within CDER, the Office of Infectious Diseases (which Xocova approval goes through) currently has no director - Adam Sherwat left the FDA last month: https://t.co/AyHXTn15SI
