Time for @IPACCanada to follow suit. Australian IPAC acknowledges #COVIDisAirborne. #bcpoli #COVID19 #cdnpoli
🔥🔥🔥BREAKING IPAC NEWS Hope for a new generation of IPAC practitioners that are moving beyond traditional dogma and embracing a more scientific understanding of transmission. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼@ACIPC @IPCPau @StephanMelb @MattM_RN Just need to see a shift in groupthink holding back…
This is just getting ridiculous. Paper after paper published showing the harm COVID does to the body. When cardiologists, nephrologists, pediatricians, neurologists & oncologists gather at their annual conventions - HOW ARE THEY IGNORING IT ALL?
This is such an important initiative driven by students at @UWaterloo. I've seen far more students than usual struggling over the past two "back to normal" years, ill multiple times a term (and for much longer) & constantly struggling to catch up. It doesn't have to be this way.
Students, faculty, staff and alums at #UWaterloo are asking for a town hall with senior admin to discuss COVID safety measures on campus. If so inclined, please share widely with UW-affiliated folks who may be interested in signing. Full Letter: bit.ly/CAREcoalitionL…
@brentmYYC Australian IPAC now acknowledges that #COVIDisAirborne. @IPACCanada must follow suit—it’s not like a virus is only airborne in certain counties. 🤡 #COVID19 #bcpoli
Not only was it a badass feminist evening to talk about menstruation and how to overcome patriarchal taboos at @Writersfest, it was alsoa #COVID19 aware event with the most people in masks I’ve seen in a while. Smart people read @DrJenGunter
@ProfRobHoward 1. #LongCovid is not a functional disorder. 2. Not one Long Covid patient - or #MECFS patient - got cured with psychotherapy. Signed, Your friendly neurologist who specializes in Long Covid. ✍️🧠

Sleep disturbances & sleep dysfunction is one of the most common & also one of the least investigated components of long COVID . This is exactly the sort of thing that is often dismissed by many in the medical community despite having huge impacts for patients.
"A study of patients with mild COVID infections found that most reported trouble sleeping, including bouts of insomnia. Sleep researchers have found that even a mild COVID-19 infection may increase symptoms of insomnia." euronews.com/health/2024/02…
A great example of how the interests of for-profit, shareholder driven, investor-owned corporations are not aligned with interests of patients or the public
According to this Reddit post, @ShopprsDrugMart is racking up publicly funded payments for MedsChecks, getting students to cold call ppl so they can bill what look like annual MedsCheck fees. IMHO, most MedsChecks are not useful, but SDM has found a way to make them profitable.
1/ Why, indeed? Thousands of patients are catching COVID in Australian hospitals. It kills 10% of them. This is due to a basic LACK OF INFECTION CONTROL. As @drajm says in this outstanding article, this is shaping up to be the Robodebt scandal of medicine. abc.net.au/news/2024-02-1…
imagine losing a loved one because they caught covid in hospital, a place they should’ve been safe. is it ok for kids to catch covid in ICU? cancer patients? nurses? as hospitals roll back precautions, too many are catching the virus and dying, doctors say abc.net.au/news/2024-02-1…
This is the right comparison between HIV/AIDS & COVID — how do our public health responses compare and what is being ignored this time around. 👇🏼
HIV was a novel virus that changed people’s perception of sexual risk. Public health campaigns revolutionized the role of condoms in sexual health. Covid is ALSO a novel virus - why are there no public health campaigns helping people assess risk? A 🧵 on novel viruses & risk /1
Oh my God. Folks, they've known for at least a year that COVID directly attacks mitochondria. Seriously, it's on the NIH dot gov website!! Did you know abt this? I did not know abt this!! nih.gov/news-events/ni….

That’s how it should be done by now in every classroom

"Once FFP3 respirators were introduced, the number of cases attributed to exposure on COVID-19 wards dropped dramatically – in fact, our model suggests that FFP3 respirators may have cut ward-based infection to zero.” cam.ac.uk/research/news/…
If you're a healthcare worker who passes on COVID to a patient because you deliberately chose not to take precautions (wear a fitting respirator) during a pandemic- and your patient dies- well, that's on you.
One patient is dying every 2 days in QLD from hospital-acquired C19. CHO Gerrard is getting wound up about ‘mask fatigue’ and people not seeing each other’s faces. Well, I have fatigue about this government anti-science sentiment that is killing people abc.net.au/news/2024-02-1…

HIV was seen as a homosexual & drug user problem - and Covid is being seen as a vulnerable & elderly problem. In both cases the narrative has been that as long as you’re not a member of those marginalized groups - the virus isn’t a threat to you. /5
