“The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.” former vice president Hubert H. Humphrey

Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

A reminder that 1 in 10 and probably higher now have #Longcovid

Labour wouldn’t have such a large health benefits bill if you focused on health preventions. Instead you are cutting vaccines and failing to roll #Cleanair www.bbc.com/news/article...

Networks—especially ABC, Disney, Hulu, and CBS—need to hear this: you’re standing on the wrong side of history, bending the knee to authoritarianism before the fight even begins, even though the law’s on your side.

You’re losing viewers. We’re not going to stand w/you when you’re not standing w/us!

Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now.

Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

Yes, it's called Info-Santé (811). Sometimes, you have to wait a long time but I've always had great service. An if you don't have a GP, they can even redirect you to make an appointement at a clinic
