I am so impressed by the quality of the people who want to help us. University professors, non-profit organizers, founders of the long Covid associations, healthcare workers, lawyers, communications experts, designers & school admins... Together, we will make a difference!

@ElaineCarol3 You can use them. There is a control line which will tell you if the results are valid. It may mean to test twice as one does not develop.
It has become popular to use CO2 monitors to estimate risk. This is based upon the idea that the CO2 informs about how well a space is ventilated. From our study, the results show that the levels of the CO2 will also inform about how long the virus remains infectious in the air.
🙄 so they can react promptly to this but never say a word about airborne transmission or long covid?

⚠️Very important study + thread by @ukhadds. CO2 conc. plays an even more important role in airborne transmission than previously thought. We knew for centuries that high indoor CO2 indicates poor ventilation, but it also extends the TIME viruses in aerosols remain infectious!
@CanCovSoc Bonjour! Si vous avez toujours besoin de volontaires pour traduire vers le français, je suis disponible :)
1/ A very important finding from the Bristol group: higher CO2 indoors makes the SARS-CoV-2 virus survive much longer in air Makes ventilation more important, transmission goes approx. with its square, not just linearly
I’m excited to discuss our latest research on how ambient CO2 affects how long #SARSCoV2 remains infectious in air. We report that even subtle increases in CO2 affects both how long #COVIDisAirborne and transmission risk. Here’s a🧵going over the findings nature.com/articles/s4146…
3 1/2 million Canadians with Long Covid equals abut 9% of the entire Canadian population. And since your odds of getting Long Covid go up with each infection and Covid is still ongoing, well....
"Three and a half million Canadians have long COVID symptoms, but you hardly hear from them or about them, mainly because they work from home, if they work at all. Some symptoms are non-stop exhaustion, breathing difficulty, pain, headaches, insomnia, dizziness." @HeatherMallick
They think "airborne" is "too scary, too frightening"? Even healthcare nurses are no longer masking! Have you considered the world maybe needs a tiny dose of "scary" as motivation to do the right thing? 🤦♂️
7. Managing perceived fear instead of speaking clearly.
Over the past few years we’ve seen pics from conferences and meetings and folks speculate about whether something is far UV. Pictured here is NOT UV; this is part of the simultaneous translation set up. It is using light to send audio to people in the room using translation.
POPNB has topped up the free Canadian-made respirators available at registration at #ph24sp. These masks by @CanadamasQ and @canadastrong were purchased by an NB mom and brought to share with any attendees. Try one on (large on left; medium right); see how breathable they are!
Haven't shared the AB acute outbreaks for a long while, as things had been settling down. Veritable explosion of outbreaks over the last week. No more mask mandates anywhere. albertahealthservices.ca/assets/info/pp… albertahealthservices.ca/info/Page18628…
Earlier this week I arrived home to 2 great big boxes of masks (and tests)! I spent $500 of our family’s money on @canadastrong masks to give out in our community and I got a huge box from @DonateMask to distribute as well 🥰I donate monthly to @DonateMask and @CanCovSoc ✨
@KashPrime @kprather88 This is a waiting room in cancer hospital where Hota is responsible for IPAC. Using barriers to direct all of the fresh air to one seat. This photo was taken July 2023, no excuse for this nonsense anymore.
At some point this pointless cycle needs to stop:
@KashPrime My mom lives in a LTC home. EVERY TIME they lift the mask mandate there’s an outbreak within 2-3 weeks. EVERY FRIKEN TIME. 3 times in the last year. It’s so exhausting for everyone especially the residents. Just do the right thing and protect the most vulnerable. Is that so hard?
There hasn't been a mandate for months at one hospital I work at. But still, this nearly empty box of N95s was full at the start of the day, and these masks were used by staff involved with intubations, treating screaming sick children, and elderly patients coughing away.…
