New study finds that air filters in schools reduces the number of sick days kids take. Clean air works wonders. It’s egregious that we haven’t adopted it in all public places by now. It reduces risk of COVID & other viral infections, allergies, asthma and helps with pollution and wildfire smoke!

You know who else can’t afford it? Post secondary students. As their professor, and knowing how many students have Long Covid already, this REALLY concerns me. Students should have access to no cost vaccinations ON CAMPUS and be encouraged to get vaccinated.

Sick people don't need a parking tax. Some people have to go to hospital 5 days a week for a couple months for radiation. People in beds need visitors. Health care needs adequate funding.

Cuz she’s never had to deal with the challenges and anxiety of having a premie in hospital for 3 mos or a child newly diagnosed w/ leukemia hospitalized 6 weeks for induction chemotherapy. Imagine as a parent adding a trip to social work to ask for a parking discount as your child fights for life.

The media have been complicit with the government in covering up the threat of the ongoing Covid pandemic and the risks to the public. If they’re recommending N95s, we should pay attention. They don’t suggest masks lightly.

We just published a new study on COVID-19 in Ontario, and it turns out, the way we measured cases may have been way off. Why? Because testing wasn’t equal across age and sex groups. That skews what we think we know. In epi-speak this is called “ascertainment bias”. Here's what we found:

The “funny” part about the horrible and scary situation we’re in is that Trump might think that any rational nation (like Canada) would actually ever want to be part of the particular version of the United States that he’s busy violently making/unmaking.
