Afin de limiter la propagation de ce virus, faites-vous vacciner contre la grippe.

Portez un masque bien ajusté à la forme de votre visage (p. ex. N95).

Utilisez une boîte Corsi-Rosenthal pour améliorer la qualité de l’air intérieur.

On doit se rappeler que plusieurs virus respiratoires se propagent actuellement.

La Dre Lyne Filiatrault a rédigé un article au sujet de la souche H3N2 de la grippe qui domine cette année.

Le taux d’hospitalisations dues à la grippe va probablement augmenter.

The flu (H3N2) is spreading like wildfire. You can help by getting vaccinated, wearing a well-fitted mask, and filtering the air.

1. The intense and all-encompassing institutional and societal pushback seen in some countries against any intervention to mitigate the impacts of Covid-19, whether that be vaccines, or air filtration / purification, or masks, is not simply as a result of mandates or lockdowns.

Disabled people are particularly vulnerable to abuse under fascism.

ICE has been neglecting the medical needs of detainees.

One disabled immigrant, Rodney Taylor, needs our help.

He's a double amputee who's been in the country since he was two years old. He's being held in solitary:

Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.
