A year ago this weekend I was listening to Phoebe Bridgers and crying about the kids going back to school without COVID protections, knowing what would happen

Waiting and hoping for someone with power and authority to SAY SOMETHING

A year later - ha - fuck. Learned a lot.
Learned that basically none of you with power can even CONCEIVE of doing the right thing, let alone speak of it or act on it

COVID is airborne. Tell the damn public. Clean the damn air. We truly do have the tools - CO2 monitors, air cleaners.

This democide is a @pcnbca choice.
And not fighting back with urgency is a choice that many, many others with various amounts of power in NB are actively making too. If you realize how bad this all is - please for the love of humanity start advocating and working to clean indoor air.
If you don’t realize how bad this all is yet, please take some time to learn about #LongCOVID this week.
When you’re ready to help, you can start here: ospe.on.ca/indoor-air-qua…
We all deserve better than 13 premiers and 13 CMOHs colluding against our future health and the health of our children.

It’s March 2023. Not 1 single CMOH/premier/Health minister has said to the public that COVID airborne.

They are colluding against our futures.
What do we do about this? How is it possible, in Canada, with the advantage of having Justice Archie Campbell’s report from SARS 1? With PHAC, that was created in response to SARS 1? How is it possible that our own institutions are failing to even come close to protecting us?
Having 13 CMOHs who all have stayed silent on both airborne transmission AND all the long COVID info they were getting from PHAC feels horrific
This is very different from “we didn’t know.” Multiple officials in every province were regularly sent evidence SUMMARIES - the information was *summarized for them*!!!!!! Plus links to the full studies. Every 2 weeks. For over a year.
This is VERY different from: failing to be aware this info existed, failing to look for it, failing to find it, failing to appreciate the importance of it.

Multiple. Officials. In. Every. Province. Were. Sent. Regular. Evidence. SUMMARIES. (No excuses.) Plus links. Every 2 wks.

COVID “travel” questions; Russell trying to focus on that is ridiculous

NB’s COVID rates are REALLY high

Yes there’s likely someone with COVID on your airplane, and if you’re not wearing a respirator you’re inhaling their infectious aerosols before airplane air cleaning’s on
Absolutely asinine to paint COVID as a special travel concern

Right now it’s EVERYONE’s WORKPLACE concern thanks to shitty PH and politicians and people

By law, employers must do everything they can to make a workplace safe

PH has stayed SILENT on airborne transmission; LC
“ The Westray mine disaster led to passing of Bill C45, an act to amend the Criminal Code of Canada. It became known as criminalization of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.”

I also find it hard to believe that our group is the only one in Canada to submit a freedom of info request on long COVID and turn this stuff up

I would like to hope a number of journalists also have this info

Where are the stories? 💔
If it’s that this is like, too awful to report on… I get it… it’s awful

But the facts aren’t the problem

The reality that all provincial governments were super well informed about long COVID, let it rip regardless, WARNED no one and were silent on airborne is the problem
Were / are, to this day

Are we not better off as a national shining light on these horrific failures and derelictions? So that we can build better systems than what we have right now?

It’s objectively terrible and worth changing that PHAC informed provinces and each govt was 🤐

This ends when we collectively want it to, by cleaning indoor air

This is an awful house of cards

Governments are incentivized to maintain both halves of the lie

The lie: what's happening now isn't harmful to you, and besides, there's nothing we can do
When either half of that lie is addressed, the whole thing falls apart

When we talk about long COVID and people realize that it can happen to ANYONE - they learn that bad COVID outcomes don't just happen to "others"

Then they want to know, well, how can I protect myself?
When they realize there's been concerted effort by WHO, IPAC, PH, and many others in power to actively ignore and deny the predominant route of transmission (airborne/inhalation), they want to act to reduce these preventable harms to the population

If you are still factoring covid into your decision-making and still taking precautions, please don’t give up.

Please reach out and find peers online. You can do social events with @TheWHN , look at #StillCoviding groups on Facebook. Finding community is so important.
So many volunteers are working extremely hard to make things better.

But one thing I’ve heard a lot this month from longtime experts and people who worked during sars 1, is that this is going to take TIME.
And I know. That is really hard to hear when you have young kids. Especially if they’re in in person school or daycare, and school or daycare are ignoring your concerns and failing to act on airborne hazard.. or if you have ageing or vulnerable family and friends 💔

« Stable » is such a dastardly lie.

It’s not like they’re saying it’s over. But stable is soooo reassuring. Stable definitely makes you feel like - you can just keep doing your thing. Stable isn’t any kind of a warning.

If questioned about what’s stable, one could point to any massaged metric.

Maybe reported ICU cases are stable. Maybe reported hospitalizations are stable. Maybe deaths are stable.

Doesn’t address at all the fact that we have a new hazard that didn’t exist 5 years ago.
And that our esteemed provincial government has never informed anybody that this hazard transmits through the air, by the inhalation route.

How is long term care ever supposed to stop transmission when no one is telling them to clean the air?

Weekend 😊 😊
… now with some extra urgency since a little lady has a fever A PC fan #corsirosenthalbox in progress. Right side of image
I might as well tweet the process.
Just took a break to feed everyone.

So far I have gathered all my materials, tested all of my fans to make sure they work before I install them in this contraption!
Power (and lights because I’m using RGB fans in this one) all work 😊

My 20x30 filters still haven’t arrived. I have 20x20 filters left so I’m making one that size.

I have 20x30 foam board, which was the perfect size to make the non-filter sides of the device.
