Some seem to be missing the point about why the high proportion of viral particles in milk is concerning. It is because it signals the widespread infection of dairy cows. Much more than anyone had imagined even 10 days ago. The more infections, the more opportunities to mutate.
Ranchers in southern Alberta have been trying for 4 years to access records after learning the UCP was in talks with the coal industry on rescinding Alberta’s coal policy to allow mining in the Rockies. The UCP now appealing a court decision requiring them to disclose! #AbLeg
Worryingly, the data suggests that the number of children with Long Covid is steadily increasing with each passing month… …from 84k in December 2023 to over 111k in March 2024! It’s risen by A THIRD in just 3 months.
▪️111,816 children (aged 3-17 yrs) were estimated to be suffering from Long Covid during the 4 week period ending 7 Mar 2024 (England & Scotland). ▪️Over 20,000 of these kids with Long Covid reported that their ability to undertake day-to-day activities had been limited A LOT.
“You will do what we want, when we want, and how we want, regardless of whether you elect our municipal party candidates.” The dictatorship of Alberta, apparently. cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
At a time when Albertans are struggling with so many real issues, the UCP have just introduced Bill 20, all about meddling in municipal politics. Bill 20 allows the UCP to remove any councillor, permits political parties at the municipal level, and more. Who is asking for this?
.@ABDanielleSmith finally introduced a Bill that best displays her dictatorial bent. Alberta cities, towns and counties will be ruled out of the Legislature. Edmonton, under the dome, knows best what’s good for you underlings. You can have your local elections for fun. #ableg

@YourAlberta "Alberta is pulling out all the stops?" Like cutting family docs 30%, then allowing 20% inflation to be unmet, then cutting many of us another 38%. Your lies and your actions are hurting Albertans. You need to be removed.
The prevalence of long COVID in England & Scotland hasn't dropped- there are 2 million people symptoms lasting 4 wks or more following COVID-19, with 1.5 million having day to day limitation in activity as a result.

@DGBassani This is alarming. 1889-1890 Russian flu pandemic thought to have come from infected cattle. Killed an estimated million people in an era were there were 1.5 billion so pretty high death rate.
@DGBassani And every 10 days that go by w/o testing, is an exponential opportunity for the virus to mutate ..
@DGBassani @cleanairkits It also indicates that food safety practices arent being followed: milk from sick cows is not supposed to be sent to market. Its supposed to be disposed of. And yet, there is virus in our milk on store shelves, so it is concerning that food safety is being ignored.
@DGBassani Why on earth is this not being dealt with urgently. Simply unbelievable.
Yesterday our fears were realized. @westfraserEWP has confirmed their intentions to clear-cut Moose Mountain / West Bragg Recreation Areas and their plan is massive (~833 Soccer Fields)!
Remember how those ranchers won a court case to force the province to release documents detailing their continued desire to expand coal mining? And how Smith said that she would super totally cooperate? About that. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli calgaryherald.com/business/energ…
Worryingly, the data suggests that the number of children with Long Covid is steadily increasing with each passing month… …from 84k in December 2023 to over 111k in March 2024! It’s risen by A THIRD in just 3 months.
By popular request, here’s a new version of the 1st chart with March 2023 included. Note: Data from March 2023 was UK data whereas the latest data is 🏴 & 🏴 only. To present comparable data, I’ve extrapolated 92% of the UK-wide figures since 🏴 & 🏴 represent 92% of the UK pop.
▪️111,816 children (aged 3-17 yrs) were estimated to be suffering from Long Covid during the 4 week period ending 7 Mar 2024 (England & Scotland). ▪️Over 20,000 of these kids with Long Covid reported that their ability to undertake day-to-day activities had been limited A LOT.
If anyone would like to take a look at the new official ONS report, here’s the link: ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati… ….and, since it’s referenced in the thread, here’s the link to the previous ONS report on Long Covid prevalence from a year ago, March 2023: ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati…
If the government is serious about wanting to address the school attendance crisis, then they need to be looking at ways to reduce the spread of illness in schools. And that means telling sick kids to stay home and also improving VENTILATION & AIR FILTRATION in classrooms.
2/ We need to CLEAN THE AIR! There’s now a mountain of evidence about how improving ventilation & air filtration can massively reduce the spread of Covid. And here’s the bonus: it doesn’t just work for Covid, it works for ALL airborne illnesses - including flu, RSV, measles.
And no, this is absolutely NOT normal. Pre-pandemic, the average illness absence rate was about 2.5%. Across the 2022/23 academic year, the illness absence rate was 3.7%. That’s nearly 50% higher than pre-pandemic! …and so far this academic year, it’s STILL at 3.7%.
It’s little wonder that pupil absences due to illness remain so stubbornly high! Since the start of this academic year: ▪️overall absence: 7% (vs 4.9% in pre-pandemic 2018/19) ▪️illness absence: 3.7% (vs 2.5% in 2018/19) ➡️ 53% of all absences are due to ILLNESS!
And then there’s the fact that the Covid infections themselves can create lasting differences in some people's immune systems which leaves them more susceptible to other diseases like RSV. This may well be part of the reason we’re seeing a rapid rise in so many other illnesses.
COVID’S EFFECT ON THE IMMUNE SYSTEM 🔥 This is an excellent series of graphics from @YaleSPH explaining what we do (and don’t) know about Covid’s effect on the immune system. Much of this is informed by the work of Dr. Akiko Iwasaki (@VirusesImmunity). 🧵 H/t @fitterhappierAJ
It’s little wonder so many parents are furious about this ‘insulting’ and ‘dangerous’ attendance campaign which encourages parents to send sick children to school, as covered here in iNews by @AasmaDay. inews.co.uk/news/education…
This government guidance is so irresponsible and, frankly, dangerous. What if there’s a clinically vulnerable child (like my son) in the class? A runny nose for one kid may mean a lengthy hospital stay for another kid.
And, of course, parents are told NOT to test their kids for Covid, so they’ll just send them to school with their Covid symptoms so they can merrily infect all their classmates. I don’t blame the parents though - this is the official government guidance! educationhub.blog.gov.uk/2023/10/11/wha…
And yet, the government’s latest attendance drive actively encourages parents to send sick children to school, unless they have a fever. But, as the ONS data clearly shows, around 75% of children who are infectious with Covid will NOT have a fever!
Another useful insight from the ONS data is prevalence of various symptoms amongst children who tested positive. The most common symptoms for those with Covid were: ▪️runny nose: 82% ▪️cough: 71% Fever was far less common, reported in just 25% of children who tested positive.
“We fundamentally do not know the extent of the long-term damage continual reinfection with COVID will cause to children. In spite of all the evidence for caution, we are now tossing children into a world with nearly zero protections.” calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…
