Some thoughts about the long covid in children study reported on by Halifax Examiner & Saltwire. There are limitations: the study relies on caregiver interviews & most of the children were under 8. Guardians would need to distinguish between developmental changes & PCC🧵
But also, we're at a stage in the pandemic where we shouldn't be reporting on new studies as isolated pieces of information. Even if long Covid is less prevalent in children (which would be good news), there's not yet treatment for those who suffer from post-covid condition.
We also know that kids are vectors! Some studies have shown that 70% of household cases start with a child. And, multiple reports (including Statistics Canada) recognize that each Covid infection increases the likelihood of long Covid in adults.

The CTV interview with Dr. Lisa Barrett on April 22 was very unclear. Here's what you can glean from it when you strip away the equivocations:

➡️People need to be reminded about the risk of COVID
➡️The virus is changing
➡️COVID isn't seasonal
➡️Virus is circulating right now
➡️Testing numbers are used to determine level of virus, but very few people are testing
➡️Focusing on reducing impact in autumn (even though it's not seasonal)
➡️Following NACI on boosters, but get them if you can!
➡️Vaccination decreases numbers in hospitals
➡️We can do things to protect each other
➡️We know wearing a mask in indoor crowded spaces is a good idea to avoid virus
➡️It's a good idea to mask indoors, esp. in where people are required to go (e.g. grocery store, public transit)

We have a real problem as we enter the 4th year of the pandemic. In Nova Scotia, public health communication doesn't exist & prominent Drs. are providing advice that the majority of Nova Scotians can't use. 🧵
There's a disconnect between what's possible for the privileged & the lived experience of most Nova Scotians, as well as an unwillingness to listen and consider that lived experience.
The majority of Nova Scotians can't stay home when they're sick & they can't keep their kids home when they're ill either. The cost of everything is so high that people need to choose between eating or isolating. Eating will win every time (as it should).

We're happy to share a festive submission from an anonymous community member, "A Visit From Saint Nick: A Nova Scotia Tale of Hubris, Hope and Ho Ho Ho"

Happy Holidays & all the best in the New Year! The first half of the poem, A Visit From Saint Nick: A Nova The second half of the poem, A Visit From Saint Nick: A Nova
Twas the night before Christmas,when all through Province House
The Conservative members were starting to grouse;
They’d told Nova Scotians they’d fix up healthcare,
But grinches kept coming with stories to share; /1
The people were sick, with coughs and sore heads;
Short on doctors, and nurses, and no fever meds!
Kids’ classrooms were empty (“Did we fix class-size caps?!?”)
No, Becky. They’re sick. And the teachers need naps. /2

We’re counting down to 2023 by reviewing the highlights of @nsgov's 2022 failed pandemic response -by far the worst year for sickness, emergency care, and fatalities. This thread will start in Jan 2022 & provide a retrospective for the next 31 days, so buckle up!🧵
Happy New Year! Nova Scotia rang in 2022 with 1,893 new cases! “Nova Scotia is beginning 2022 by surpassing the 1,000 COVID-19 daily case count mark for the first time in the pandemic.” @globalnews, 2 Jan
On Jan 3, the Premier reassured us: “While there are no new restrictions or changes for today, I would tell Nova Scotians we are watching & we will not hesitate to do whatever it is we think is necessary to keep Nova Scotians safe” @globalnews, 3 Jan
