Canadian Long COVID folks!
Long COVID Web have launched a new study on improving access to virtual healthcare for long haulers. Any self-identified Long COVID patient based in Canada that is 16 years or older can fill out their self-paced survey here by July 1:

Please sign and share. Cleaning the air we breathe dramatically reduces viral transmission. Imagine rarely getting sick and how much better you and your family would feel. We all deserve to breathe air as clean as the water we drink.
Please read our public statement regarding the recent news of a COVID-19-related death of a New Brunswick child under 5 years of age.

We have launched a new petition demanding an update from GNB on promised clean air initiatives and for government to acknowledge airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
Public Health has a press conference tomorrow morning. Please sign and share: chng.it/HTf9NZfMsk

As promised, I sought to find out why NB redefined Covid-19 deaths and how that redefinition impacted reporting, and the response is frightening.
They changed the definition based on vibes, resulting in 2 of every 3 covid-caused deaths not being reported.
#nbpoli #covid19
Still wrapping my head and my words around this, but here is a peak at what I've uncovered.
In addition to spurious rationale for abandoning the nationally established definition of a Covid-19 fatality, NB's reporting change led to approximately 44% of Covid-caused deaths to go uncounted in 2023.
"A Day in the Life of a Longhauler" is a photography project that captures the daily life of individuals living with Long COVID.
Longhaulers are invited to share up to 6 photos from their everyday life which will be showcased at the Museum of Vancouver in the Fall of 2025.
We love this initiative!
Snow is on the way which means we’re all going inside. We have kids and adult respirators available in a variety of sizes. We have rapid tests as well.
If you would like to continue supporting us we accept EMTs at maskprojectnb@gmail.com

Look, we all hate Trash-Stat Tuesday, none more than myself, but we're here now so we may as well just get it over with.

Congratulations @popnb.bsky.social !
👇is doable!
Now let’s go!

Our work is paying off.
So many thanks to @ryan-murphy.bsky.social for documenting this monumental success!
Our work is paying off.
Today, Mandate Letters from Premier Susan Holt
incoming Ministers were shared with the public.
The Hon. Chuck Chiasson, Minister of Transportation & Infrastructure, will take the lead on the party's commitment to improve the air in public buildings.
With so many new people arriving, it's a good time to repost this dive into our FOI/RTI work which exposed how every provincial and territorial public health office knew about the severity and prevalence of Long Covid in July 2020 and did nothing.

Please continue to be safe and continue to cultivate your interest in the safety of others.
Fight to strengthen your impact.
Rest to strengthen your resolve.
Let care be your radical act.
Let community be your foundation.
And I will see you next week.
Comme toujours, il y a des actions simples et efficaces que vous pouvez entreprendre pour aider à améliorer la situation du SARS-CoV-2 au Nouveau-Brunswick et assurer votre sécurité ainsi que celle de votre famille et de votre communauté.
There are simple and effective actions you can take to help improve the SARS-CoV-2 situation in New Brunswick and keep yourself, your family, and your community safe.
Updated sequencing to January 12.
We see JN.1 and its ilk now making up almost 42% of cases, up from a max of 6% of cases in December. JN.1 is thought to be more immune evasive and has fuelled recent C19 waves globally.
I'd like to pause here and note that our official Covid-19 death count is 999.
999 New Brunswickers have been killed by this virus in under four years.
What should be an atrocity is broadly accepted as normal, inevitable and not worthy of active mitigation.
god help us.
"SEASON" SUMMARY (of the demonstrated-to-be-incorrect numbers)
• 2643 PCR cases
• 1154 "hospitalizations" (20 under 19)
• 76 "ICU admissions" (0 under 19)
• 64 "deaths"
• 283 lab confirmed outbreaks
Despite influenza being prevalent, we can still see that C19 is not just a flu. The impacts of C19 are deeper and more deadly by orders of magnitude.
It is wishful thinking that the posted data represent what is in our communities.
It may or may not.
Current NB C19 "data" are unburdened by reality. They are poorly sampled and questionably analyzed and represent only what is happening in particular buildings in the province.
Wake up, it's Trash-Stat Tuesday.
The bad news is the virus and its associated gruesome impacts, which have been thoroughly and successfully normalized, continue to kill and disable NBers. The good news is, according to the fake numbers, the virus is slowing down a notch.

All my investigative pieces to date about all that was known in B.C since Apr, 2020 about #LongCovid -including in kids- as per B.C’s own post-C19 interdisciplinary clinical care network, B.C F.O.I documents & PopNB’s @hallwayorchard.bsky.social @popnb.bsky.social comprehensive RTI work.
There are simple and effective actions you can take to help improve the SARS-CoV-2 situation in New Brunswick and keep yourself, your family, and your community safe.
So...
We protect each other.
Power does not want people helping people. Communal care emancipates us and fosters a security in opposition to the widespread, manufactured precarity leveraged against the public by systems of oppression and extraction.
Here's some not-wrong data which is likely why NB PH steadfastly refuse to provide it to public or media; updated sequencing to Dec 27.
HV.1 and HK.3 (related to Omicron EG.5) account for over 50% of cases, while their progenitor accounts for approximately another 10% of cases.
"SEASON" SUMMARY (of the demonstrated-to-be-incorrect numbers)
• 2412 PCR cases
• 1066 "hospitalizations" (15 under 19)
• 64 "ICU admissions" (0 under 19)
• 54 "deaths"
• 254 lab confirmed outbreaks
