@EmJayNabuurs @teachrprecarity @CanCovSoc @TheReSisters2 As a child, no one I know had 6-8 colds per year, lasting up to 14 days, including myself or my siblings. Neither have my children. What we’re witnessing is normalization of illness to protect PH and Govts, making C19 look like the common cold while disability rates climb. 😮‍💨

That’s b/c the majority of Cdns think Covld’s gone or is just a cold. Feds did well for us initially. But since about ‘22, they’ve dropped the ball BIG TIME on protecting Cdns. Our pop’n level health & productivity is worse now than b/f 2020, but gawd forbid we link C19 to it.

Just over six years after the first cases were reported, the majority of Canadians say that they are satisfied with how the federal government handled the COVID-19 pandemic. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/03/23/can…

@BajanPAMD @_CatintheHat @1goodtern In all seriousness, we need to start calling this what it is. Whoever is intentionally stating that masks and specifically N95's shouldnt be worn on an institutional level is trying to maim the general pop This is an abhorrent story

@_CatintheHat reminds me of when i had to put a surgical mask OVER my P100 since the surgical was mandatory. extremely silly. however making someone take OFF their good mask isn't silly, it's evil.

🤬 Wow! A Kent Uni student sensibly wearing KN95 mask when receiving his antibiotics and, later, his MenB vaccination was told to REMOVE his KN95 mask and don a surgical mask. This bizarre aversion to masks which offer a HIGHER degree of protection has got to STOP. FULL STOP 🛑

@_CatintheHat @1goodtern Our son is a Kent uni student. On Tuesday last week he received the antibiotics; on Thursday, last week, the vax (such a relief). We r v grateful for the huge effort made by the NHS staff. But y the policy: our son was made to remove his K95 mask & don a surgical mask!

@LeonSimons8 I’ve not seen you post about SARS-CoV-2 before, and I’m extremely grateful that you have done. The ongoing COVID pandemic and climate change are the two most pressing and destructive issues facing the world right now.

Health Canada does not recognize a difference between 222nm and 254nm so requires the UV be enclosed or have interlocks so it can't be used in the presence of people, this defeats the purpose of Far-UVC which is supposed to be used in the presence of people. So there's no way to make a Health Canada acceptable Far-UVC device that is still effective.

During Covid- in 2021 - engineers and experts PROVED that this was wrong. It was a major, MAJOR breakthrough. It’s NOT just Covid. NONE of these viruses are spreading only via droplet. This thing we believed and built our infection control around isn’t true

What do we say to someone who works in ICU if they suggest that an non fit tested N95 is useless for protection of aerosols?

@1goodtern @kasza_leslie @19joho My darling aunt, sharp as a tack and delightful at age 95, living on her own with minimal supports, entered hospital to get her meds sorted for her longtime congestive heart failure. Now she has covid.

@k1llstreakz @singingsox right and this is why it's also ok to infect your fellow americans/canadians/etc, because it's not like they're some uncontacted tribe.

All the mentions of North Sentinel Island read like people just wanting to drop a Snapple fact that they learned recently while also performing a fallacious argument simultaneously

@CovidSolidarit1 yes, and it should be virtual / online to prevent a lot of yelling at most of them for not masking! 🙃 (but either way you're totally right, there should be one and it's pretty odd that there isnt)

Why isn’t there an international Covid conference, so we can see where we’re at with the research? Authors could present their papers on SarsCov2? I mean, it’s not like there isn’t the material, with 450k+ studies?

@astralopithekos Something tells me they’re all under 40. And not just bc of these adolescent temper tantrums they throw about masking, but bc they’re obviously not old enough to understand that being healthy trumps being cool, which only age can teach them (if bad luck doesn’t get there first.)

so-called leftists are really arguing against masking by saying things like "cringy" and "uncool". very serious people.

Fact: COVID is **not** merely a “common cold”. Cities and states and schools that say this should be held accountable for child endangerment.
chantzy@chantz_y

Got this patient info sheet from the after hours clinic where my son went for an ear issue (not Covid, thankfully) Apparently they are calling Covid a "common cold" now & normalizing kids being sick like 16 weeks of the year "without cause for concern" 😳

kinda interesting how they don't offer misinfo arguments about masks not working or how immune systems need a workout or whatever else a lot of ppl say. like there's not any argument or justification at all, just "ugh not this again, you crazy unsocial online scolds"
