My Northern Dudes, Trump will roll Canada like he rolled Americans if you even give him an inch.

He’s a pathological liar and megalomaniac, and I hope Canadians are never infected with the MAGA Parasite.
Genuinely believe his own vice president J.D. Vance - Trump is America’s Hitler.

French pharmacies run out of Covid tests as cases soar.

Up to 150,000 COVID ‘auto-tests’ were sold last week amid a surge linked to the new XFG variant.

Self-tests give results in 15 mins but are only ~70% accurate, meaning 3 in 10 positive cases could be missed.

Leena Minifie has heard many horror stories of the discrimination Indigenous Peoples face during her more than 20 years as a journalist, film and television producer.

But, she was taken aback by some of what she heard while working on The Good Canadian.

SARS-CoV-2 is airborne. It spreads and can linger in the air, a bit like cigarette smoke. High quality masks/respirators are critical to prevent infection from this dangerous SARS virus and other airborne pathogens

The best way to prevent Long COVID is to prevent getting COVID-19 or getting it multiple times. That means staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines and wearing a well-fitting mask, especially when indoors among crowds.

Learn more: www.nyc.gov/site/doh/cov...

The image is a public health poster from NYC Health titled “Prevent Long COVID.”

It explains that the only way to prevent Long COVID is to avoid getting COVID-19, as each infection carries a risk.
It lists prevention tips:

Wear a well-fitting mask (N95, KN95, KF94) in crowded or poorly ventilated indoor spaces.

Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations.

Stay home if sick, or wear a mask if you must go out.

Avoid close contact with sick people.

Wash hands often or use hand sanitizer.
