Watching public health officials deny #CovidIsAirborne in the UK #CovidInquiry reminds me a whole lot of the Congressional hearings where all the tobacco CEOs mouthed, "I believe that nicotine is not addictive."

Working on story about air quality in schools. Any info on schools doing great job or challenges associated. Love to hear from teachers on how current investments operate too. DMs open

"Cases of eastern equine encephalitis are rare in Canada" David Fisman said: "that number may not be accurate because public health agencies don’t have to actively monitor eastern equine encephalitis cases" Should we be doing more? I'm going with Fisman's judgment, not Loeb's. 👇

Yes, we do need to bring back masks in medical settings. Many don’t want to appear disrespectful by asking their health-care workers to mask. Patients have a right to safety in health care facilities. #Opinion trib.al/gPUkkoz

It turns out... We didn't need RCTs to learn it was important to mandate brakes on cars

I dunno, Maybe, Just maybe, THE PROBLEM IS IN HEALTHCARE

To the Chief Medical Officer of Ontario: Medical settings need to be SAFER SPACES for BOTH patients & staff Masking can't be put on the shoulders of Ontario's MOST VULNERABLE ..that's your job. Bring back masks back into healthcare. Signed Ontario Ministry of Health Ontario Medical Association

Flannery Dean Lots to say about the Toronto DSB, the disconnect between board talking points and facts on the ground, crossed wires with trustees and facilities executives, bad HEPA units, failure to respond to measured problems/complaints, etc - but your DMs look closed to me

TdotMum AppleBottomtista Flannery Dean Parents shouldn’t have to make requests to ensure hepa units are in rooms, turned on and filters changed. This is creating conflict when it should just be implementing policies.

Thanks for this! Found out my teen’s science teacher is a flat-earther and says that the CO2 build-up in masks (as she sits in the class with a mask on) is dangerous. Parent/teacher interview gonna’ be interesting…

Reports of similar things here between the start of school & sleep away school trips, many classes are missing students. When will the Toronto District School Board acknowledge the role they are playing in infecting our kids? Toronto Public Health #CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne

Time for Canada to acquire Novavax for those who need it. As it’s in single dose vials, there is no reason governments can’t reimburse at point of sale, just like any other insurance provider. Justin Trudeau Doug Ford Jean-Yves Duclos Mark Holland

9 day old baby in the UK ends up in the hospital with Covid, meningitis and chickenpox 😩 Imagine if it were standard advice to mask around newborns and avoid taking them out in public as much as possible. tiktok.com/t/ZP8dBAeqb/
