Putting this recommendation on my reading list, thanks!

Spin Doctors is a book about how the COVID pandemic played out in Canada during the first two years

@nolore.bsky.social is a brilliant speaker too!

Big lesson from the book: the pandemic exploited inequities within the society and worsened inequities

Snowstorms are hell for wheelchair users—but they don't have to be "You can't physically move. You can't do anything."

Snowstorms are more than just an inconvenience for wheelchair users. Inadequate snow clean-ups means a loss of autonomy for many. New for me at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

CERB offered $500 a week. "...about one-third of child care workers were making less than $550 per week before the pandemic"
I wonder how many of them are now being chased by CRA.

I hope the Minister will watch M. Murphy 's presentation at last week's @nblung.bsky.social event once the recording is available. We need to be serious in improving indoor air quality in schools. As per a past NBMS Motion, improving indoor air quality in ALL NB schools is supported by physicians.

Canadians, Please consider signing this petition asking for renewable energy to be funded equally well as fossil fuels via subsidies. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

Jeffrey Epstein did not stop raping children after his 2008 conviction. Jeffrey Epstein did not stop facilitating the rape of children after his 2008 conviction. He kept doing it.

An important thread.

We say "rape culture" because it's never about individual abusers working alone in the shadows. There is so much complicity, yes, but there is also so much reward. Celebrities, athletes, politicians, etc. who think fame should give them judgement-free access to victims.

Hoping one day our provincial government will make good on its election promise. Imagine the scope of prevention of diseases possible in schools, daycares just by improving ventilation, filtration in their indoor spaces!
Prevention also means dollars saved in many budgets @susanholtnb.bsky.social

‼️a combination of advanced air filtration, ventilation, and purification could cut the average number of infected cases among all students in half‼️

wastewater dashboard for Moncton NB https://wwater.ca/New_Brunswick/Moncton

We only have COVID in our wastewater dashboard, not the other viruses... and we don't have any wastewater monitoring where I live, in northeast NB, but we were told in 2022 that we had "all the tools", whatever that meant...

Graph with white and light grey striped background, yellow for covid levels, pink for flu, black for RSV.

Ontario wastewater levels were just updated. The graph for London Ontario is below. So, “during COVID” was when, exactly?! Today, during COVID is today. 😷

Trump policies at odds with emerging understanding of COVID's long-term harm Studies offer insights into the health risks and burdens faced by people who have had COVID infections. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has narrowed COVID vaccine recommendations and cut research.

MSM clueing into to the fact that viruses have chronic impacts.

“Officials in ‘23 declared an end to the COVID pandemic. 2 years later, a growing body of research continues to reveal info about the virus’s ability to cause harm long after initial infections resolve, even in some w/ mild symptoms.”
