A new and important Social Determinant of Health!
Explains why having clean air in schools is so important.
Less respiratory infections in schools means more days of learning & less infections brought into the home to younger siblings and other family members.

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.

@Her_Nonymous_D You did the right thing helping a hurt, confused and overwhelmed child. Although her mom may have wanted to share the experience with her daughter, it’s obvious the girl needed the support of an adult that wasn’t making fun of her situation. She is lucky to have you.

A study suggests that many older adults who died of COVID-19 weren’t close to death before infection.

In fact, 28% would likely have lived at least another 5 years if they hadn't contracted the virus.

Children should not have to choose between being well and receiving a good education. When students are sick — whether from acute illness, Long COVID, or other chronic conditions — rigid attendance policies can undermine both their health and their ability to learn.

Flexible approaches like remote participation, hybrid learning, and asynchronous work help students stay engaged without worsening illness or increasing the risk of spreading disease. When thoughtfully implemented, these tools support continuity, inclusion, and better outcomes for students and their communities.

COVID hasn’t gone away. It’s still causing infections, long-term health damage, and death in 2026 — but protection works, and it’s not too late to start. Read the full update: https://t.co/aePdRRnKaH

Our nurses deserve better. Otherwise you run the risk of losing more nurses and further putting our healthcare in crisis. Respect our nurses! Respect their benefits! 3/3 @Josie_Osborne @BCNursesUnion

[Loopytea1 @Loopytea1]

I’d like to remind the BC Health Minister @Josie_Osborne and @BCNursesUnion that nurses work long hours, most 12+ hour day & night shifts. They are on the frontlines of care for all of us. On their feet without adequate bathroom or meal breaks. 1/3

[Loopytea1 @Loopytea1]

They go home physically & emotionally taxed, yet they return the next shift to again care for our health. Yet Govt wants to reduce the already inadequate benefits nurses receive. Your disrespect & under appreciation is negatively affecting nurses throughout our province. 2/3

Long COVID is defined as an symptomatic condition. However, COVID-19 can also cause organ damage without symptoms.

We’re in year 7 of COVID, and a lot has changed. We now understand far more about its long-term impact on the body and how infections can build over time. If you’ve been rethinking your approach to protection, you’re not alone, and it’s not too late to start again.

A new CDC study published in JAMA today, shows COVID is still killing a substantial number of Americans, with over 100K deaths annually between 2022-2024.

‘Although the Public Health Emergency ended, this study suggests it remains a major driver of mortality among older adults.’

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

Study shows COVID vaccines decreased heart attacks and strokes.

A sweeping analysis of nearly 46 million adult health records has delivered a clear verdict: COVID-19 vaccination sharply lowers the risk of heart attacks and strokes, directly refuting persistent claims to the contrary.

Published in Nature Communications, the study followed people across England from December 2020 through January 2022. It documented a 10% drop in serious arterial blood clots (including heart attacks and strokes) after the first dose alone. Protection strengthened further with subsequent doses: a 20% reduction among those fully vaccinated with Pfizer/BioNTech and a striking 27% reduction for AstraZeneca recipients.

The researchers were upfront about rare side effects—myocarditis and certain clotting disorders—that can occur shortly after vaccination, but stressed these remain exceptionally uncommon.

By comparison, catching COVID-19 itself dramatically raised the odds of major cardiovascular events.

Lead co-author Dr. Samantha Ip described the results as some of the strongest evidence yet that the vaccines do more than prevent severe infection: they also confer lasting protection against two of the world’s leading killers.
