There are ~10 million doctors in the world.

Here are 10 who have literally been 1 in a million during the pandemic.

We can't thank you enough. 🙏

Good News!

Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has called for universal respirator use in healthcare settings & when performing patient care outside of healthcare settings (eg – in the home) in the latest edition of CSA Z94.4, Selection, use and care of filtering respirators.
How you can help:

The draft CSA Z94.4 Standard is now out for Public Review until August 19, 2025.

Please weigh in with your positive, constructive comments at .

Public Review comments are open to everyone who registers.publicreview.csa.ca/Home/View/2256…
The draft Standard embodies the Precautionary Principle.

In the absence of risk analysis, N95s are required because healthcare spaces & activities involve daily HCW exposure to Risk Group 2 (RG 2) pathogens like Influenza and RG3 pathogens like SARS-CoV-2, often unknown.

@alijzimmerman @naner81 @GhostOfSocrates @N0nyM00se @doctor_zeest Thx Alison,

hopefully we can all take the temperature down a few notches, after all, we're all trying to make the system better. 😊

Let's start with 20 ACH Laminar Air Flow (LAF) in ORs. Good idea from the 1960s & generally an improvement over lower airflows.
@alijzimmerman @naner81 @GhostOfSocrates @N0nyM00se @doctor_zeest Does it stop all airborne transmission?

Sadly, no.

Is it the best approach to stopping airborne transmission?

Sadly, no.

Does the medical community think it's the best approach to stop airborne transmission?

Sadly, yes. 😢
@alijzimmerman @naner81 @GhostOfSocrates @N0nyM00se @doctor_zeest First, several systematic reviews and comparative studies have shown that LAF is no more effective than Mixed Ventilation (MV).

Some comparative studies have shown MV to be superior

BREAKING NEWS!

Health Canada PMRA just approved AutoUV.

👏👏👏 Image
Why is that important?

Because Hospital Acquired Infections are way too high & flash disinfecting air & surfaces immediately after occupancy, especially in hospital bathrooms, is a game changer for protecting patients (& HCWs) from exposure to pathogens Image
Because air and surfaces that are biologically clean don't transmit disease Image

Joshua Haldeman, Elon Musk’s maternal grandfather, led the Canadian branch of “Technocracy Incorporated” in the 1930s.

This radical movement advocated replacing democratic governments in the U.S. and Canada with rule by technocrats and businessmen.
Under Haldeman’s leadership, the movement adopted fascist characteristics.

Members wore gray uniforms modeled after Nazi attire.

When Canada declared war on Germany in 1939, the group was banned for Nazi sympathies.
Canada arrested Haldeman after finding Nazi-sympathetic documents in his home.

He was imprisoned for several months and remained on a subversion watch list throughout World War II.

I would be excited about this inhaled Covid vaccine being developed at McMaster if it was a traditional protein-based vaccine delivering a known volume of antigen(s) (similar to Novavax)

But it's not
Novel vector vaccines (like this one) & mRNA vaccines are a neat trick

And manufacturers like them because they're easier, faster & cheaper to produce than protein-based vaccines
Vector & mRNA based vaccines make sense as a FIRST RESPONSE to a novel virus to speed vaccines to market when none had existed before

But they make no sense as a vaccine platform for an ongoing endemic virus

"Quad-demic"?

What do you call this???

Octadeca-demic?

H/T @1goodtern for graphs Image
Image
If you add these 18 to the quad-demic

And add in HMPV for good measure

You would have a
"vigesima-tredecim-demic"

23 diseases on the rise
But if you wait a few minutes, & look around, you will find more diseases rising

100 diseases would be a "hecto-demic"
