@frozen @1goodtern Such a gutless wonder. I heartily dislike this “doctor.” She always makes things worse in BC.

HENRY VS HENRY: on whether masks protect

@Lidsville @tryna_do_rite Abominably wrong, and a simpering fool.

Bonnie Henry downplayed SARS 1; her failures there led to the SARS Commission. Then Covid ("it can't go around corners"). Now a 3rd try at downplaying a contagious airborne illness that's killing people. What will finally break media's hagiography of Bonnie? #bcpoli #cdnpoli
Tom Jackman@frozen
The public health officials who downplay the possibility of airborne transmission of hantavirus are the same ones who incorrectly but confidently told us in early 2020 that another virus was not airborne. They've learned little apparently, but are no less sure of themselves.

@frozen @beansprouts_mom @DavosSafety @BarryHunt008 @sameo416 @crwequine @CPHO_Canada @jossreimer SO MANY terrible sequels! But I am grateful to the informed, sane, expert voices available (IF you seek them out) that have helped me to understand and equip myself properly to be as protected as possible.

@frozen @keetmuise I just knew it would be EXACTLY like this - supremely mishandled and misrepresented. We are on our own to protect our health and well being. Good info exists if you look for it. Sadly, most people prefer living in ignorance.
English
Two days ago, Dr. Bonnie Henry claimed that proper precautions were followed, and that the air crew who transported the infected hantavirus person or persons was at no risk.
We now know that Henry's reassurances were false.

This is concerning Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) flew 4 Canadians home from the MV Hondius on May 10th According to this article, airline crew were given only surgical masks & gloves to protect themselves

@1goodtern I can only hope DBH reads what you have to say and checks herself and changes her ridiculous attitudes. Most of us in BC dread HER opening her mouth (and that voice!).

@KashPrime It’s 2026 and anyone who does not understand the need for N95/FFP2 respirators in these situations, as compared to “baggy blue” surgical masks, has willfully not been paying attention. The information IS available to ordinary people on how to protect yourself.
English
So airborne precautions (N95/FFP2 respirators) were NOT used by the aircrew to transport Canadian cruise ship passengers home from the Canary Islands.
Why is this so difficult for authorities to understand?

Listen to this on loop a few times.
It's genuinely appalling that a public health official should think or talk like this.
This attitude KILLS PEOPLE.

@BarryHunt008 There's no way someone who feels this way about PPE should be a Public Health Officer.

@kahententha @chantz_y @MamaToronto Apparently they landed in Victoria Sunday evening (May 10) and were to be health-monitored “in lodgings” - assume the Greater Victoria area.

@recalibrate_com @chantz_y @MamaToronto Oh no. Where are they going on Vancouver Island? We're headed there to visit my sister in July. We already wear KN95s/N95s regularly, but this is scary!

@BirdieBittern @MeInYYJ We don’t do fast food very often but, when we have, about 50% of the time part or all of the order is wrong. Like, ordered 2 cheeseburgers and fries and received only chicken nuggets?!?
English
In the new normal, does anyone ever get a takeout order that is exactly as ordered?
What I ordered: Fish filet, no cheese, large fry, small coke
What I got? Fish filet w/cheese, small fry, large coke
Pretty funny until you think about that prescription you just had filled😟

@BarryHunt008 @beansprouts_mom I would have immediately left the dinner table! And, if at all possible at a restaurant, probably alerted everyone else of the wisdom of vacating the premises.

From the DMs:
"And hearing from a retired colleague who had dinner yesterday in Hanoi with a passenger who left the ship in St Helena and is avoiding testing. This not looking great. We have dismantled the global public health system."

This is where I’m at psychologically:
I speak up every day because if I stayed silent, I honestly couldn’t live with myself.
At the same time, I’m painfully aware that most of it barely moves the needle.
People with Long Covid have largely been left behind. Governments, institutions, media ecosystems, and powerful financial interests have effectively separated the reality of Long Covid from the ongoing risks of infection itself.
Now another airborne virus is emerging into a population that is exhausted, misinformed, cognitively overloaded, and psychologically conditioned to normalize illness.
A huge percentage of people genuinely believe COVID is “over,” that masking is pointless, and that repeated infections are basically just colds you can power through with supplements, exercise, and positive thinking.
Meanwhile, the information environment is flooded with influencers, wellness grifters, disinformation, outrage algorithms, and people monetizing confusion.
I don’t know what else to say other than this:
Be honest with yourself.
Protect your health.
Protect the people you love.
And don’t let the world gaslight you out of your own ability to observe reality.
And everyone once in awhile, you're allowed to tell the asshole minimizing deadline biohazards to go fuck himself.
