Wildfire season looms again, and we’re still waiting to speak with Ontario’s Minister of Education @Sflecce about indoor quality in schools and school buses. We wrote to the Ontario Government @fordnation last August about the need for a layered approach to indoor air quality.…

I was infected with COVID-19 #SARSCoV2 while caring for my sick child. I'd maintained low CO2 levels of 425-525ppm throughout my home; leveraged HEPA cleaners and one-way masking as diligently as I could. Even with excellent ventilation, we risk close-range airborne spread. 1/

Thread on my routine for personal risk assessment for airborne infections. A surprise at the end, that provides a compelling additional reason to monitor CO2. 1/

@urbanmel Seems the mental gymnastics folks are doing to deny covid damage in their own lives they are also applying to their children’s new health issues. Defensive & angry towards those who mention it. Where is your rage for the government with continual school reinfections??!

@fillthewhole Looks like the rage comes later. Much later. That’s if parents are willing to concede they’ve been duped and realise they’ve got to be responsible for themselves and their kid’s disabilities and death.

Hearing lots of positive covid tests over the last month and that’s just the people who still test (& take more precautions than most). Long Covid in children numbers in England have nearly doubled in a year. Kids can’t consent to this. Where is the rage???

Told a doctor yesterday we are entering another wave. They said ‘yes I know, our care homes are full of it’. I asked if their practice would reintroduce masking. Met with a very aggressive ‘No!’. This behaviour is not normal folks. Do HCWs genuinely believe covid is like flu??

Daughter had friends over last night. So nice to see teens so respectful. They masked in the car with my hubby, they didn’t complain about the chill outside. We lit the fire pit and put out a basket of blankets. Could hear the laughter & singing. Warmed my heart

I was thinking about this this morning in terms of when the last time was that I woke up excited for something and it wasn’t marred by the anxiety of mitigation measures or risk assessment. Honestly, probably 2019. Some days that realization feels really heavy. 😕

When was the last time you felt truly, carefree, joy? Do you even remember?

@MarvinCori I picture secret bajillionaire symposiums. Calculated planning. Information warfare, division of the masses. Disease and plastics and PFAS and horrible humans lifted onto pedestals. Help us destroy ourselves. Like Davos safe-ing the planet but horrible and evil.

So bear with my anxious morning musings, but isn't it the perfect plan for the 1% to replace the greatest scourge to the planet (humans and all we poop and pee and breathe and produce and consume) with AI robots? Like, it's THE WAY to save the planet, why not cull us?

Ensuring clean air would perhaps be the most impactful public health intervention of our generation. Makes tons of sense medically & economically & would take a massive burden off the strained healthcare system. Zero downsides. Make it law. Bravo @SoniaFurstenau and @AdamPOlsen.

Covid brain impact cognitive decline is kicking peoples butts, it’s not self-detectable, especially with no social education-awareness, it’s manifesting as anger, frustration, outbursts, anxiety, depression, rage, drugs use, personality changes, defensiveness, and isolation

1. It is important to remember here that acute SARS-CoV-2 infection is also a significant risk factor for the development of new-onset hypertension: ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/HY…

@The_Oldfields There is a link between viral infection and stroke, but this is rare. Our focus is on making sure that there is a proper stroke prevention plan which should focus on risk factors such as hypertension, which is a factor in nearly half of all strokes.

@LazarusLong13 My reason for not removing respirator indoors when CO2 is low and people are not close is that I don't want to be thinking about it, I have other stuff to do. And I really don't want to be thinking about it instead of listening when someone unexpectedly comes close to talk to me.

His risk continuum is his. I am NOT criticizing him. But having read every single SARS-COV-2 transmission study available world-wide? There is no way that I would let CO2 levels lift or lower my N95. Three words - Near Field Aerosols. They rule indoors or outdoors. /1

@WorldHealthSmt @DrBronKing I always carry with me the two core tools of personal protection; a CO2 monitor and an N95 mask. I wear an N95 mask if CO2 readings are higher than 1,000 (I’m in the process of revising that down to 800ppm for reasons I will explain another day), or if someone around me is unwell…

.@ONSchoolSafety feels like we’re on a never-ending loop as we decide if we should just re-send the wildfire open letter we sent to @Sflecce et al. last year or if we should write a new one but sprinkle it with glitter to get their attention. Clean. The. Air.

I don't understand how every single person who has given birth isn't FURIOUS at the way our 'advanced' societies are abandoning children to illness, disease, and death. In the US they choose between COVID and gun violence. This is unsustainable and horrifying.

This was me at 7 years old when I was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder. I was never able to play or interact with other children normally. I had and still have serious difficulties talking about myself and sharing my thoughts. A couple of months ago, I started posting here…
