The average fit factor FF for a surgical mask is 3. Many score 300 on an Aura N95. Which makes it two orders of magnitude better. Yes this is predictive of real world outcomes

People think that when you become disabled, support magically appears

That once it’s “official” you will have your basic needs met

The truth is people fight for years to get the bare minimum in benefits

Caregivers are nearly impossible to find

If you’re not rich or very lucky… you’re on your own

Jag kommer återkommande att tjata lite om den här tråden med fortbildning om skolsystemet. Har en lista på mer än 20 blogginlägg att skriva. Det finns så mycket bra oberoende forskning, rapporter och utredningar som ingen aktör betalar för att sprida till vanligt folk.

When leaders say "there are more important things to focus on" than the current pandemic, they are saying that there are more important things to focus on than brain injury, organ damage, long term disability in kids, immune dysfunction etc - and that sounds totally absurd if you think about it

If you need any help in your own personal Covid/Health advocacy for masking, safety in public, accommodations for apts, human rights complaints, letters, etc, send me a dm. Part of my quest to be a “Swiss Army knife” of advocacy is to help those who need it, in any way I can.

AI data centres are gobbling up environmental resources.

Billionaires are flying around on private jets.

Endless amounts of money & resources spent on wars around the globe.

But inhalers are the real threat to the climate?

They really will blame disabled people for everything

Screenshot of a post from local 12 WKRC TV which reads “inhalers contribute significantly to global warming study finds” and then a photo of two blue inhalers

@zackpolanski.bsky.social Please can you question Streeting on the research showing that Covid causes mental health problems. There is not over diagnosis of conditions like Autism, we now have experts who can identify it. So many are struggling and Labour are ignoring children suffering neurological

Covid is not a cold - with a cold, you don't usually see any long-term effects.

You don't see any changes in the blood vessels.

You don't usually see an autoimmune disease developing.

You also don't usually see neurological inflammation - these are all things that we see with long Covid.

He was sounding hoarse
so I asked
if he had been
following the news
about the Stratus variant,
but he just rolled his eyes
and stated that he
had stopped
following the news
about the virus years ago,
but alas it seemed clear to me
that the virus
was still closely following him.

Visited the dentist today.
Hygienist always wears N95 yo avoid infection. She complained that her boyfriend also works at a school in Ontario (like me) but he never masks, so he always gets sick and brings it home.
I told her he should be masking to protect her.
She deserves better.😓
