The Canadian COVID Society is urging Canadians to write their provincial representatives to demand they supply the public with the #Novavax vaccine!

For people in #Quebec who want #Novavax and/or for #COVID vaccines to be free for everyone again, I have created a template email to send to your MNA and the Minister of Health.
Please share and send an email!
One of the things I'm most looking forward to in playing those shows next month will be the reaction to my wearing an #n95 the entire show. Dollars to doughnuts I'll be the only masked person there; 100% I'll be the only masked musician.
Good things: I had to go to the dentist this week. As I was waiting for my appointment wearing an N95 mask, the dentist peered into the waiting room to tell me she was almost done. She was also wearing an N95 mask, a 3M Aura!
Then a few minutes later she walked out again with the patient ahead of me, and that person was also wearing an N95! Three of us in one room with N95s out in the wild and not at a special masked event, it's been a while since I've experienced that!
@avilewis I wish you had worn an N95 mask to show all #PeopleWithDisabilities that you care more than other politicians about #DisabledLives & are against #eugenics in #PublicHealth policies. We have been failed by every single political party in Canada & are treated like none of our lives matter to any of you politicians.

@avilewis Bonnie Henry removing mask mandates resulted in my Dad getting infected by #unmasked hospital staff. He died from covid cardiac arrest in 2023. This was government sanctioned #murder by #eugenics policies. Every single political party has failed to protect citizens, especially most vulnerable ones. Every single politician has normalized eugenics. That will end up costing provincial & federal governments, millions, if not billions to deal with long covid & many other preventable health issues. You have an opportunity to do better & lead by a more humane, not eugenics, living example. Start by normalizing wearing masks indoors again.

The Swiss Federal Office of Public Health had to publish the procurement costs of the covind vaccines, following a Federal Administrative Court ruling.
In total, the country paid ~1bn USD.
This is good. Without transparency, there can't be trust.

You know what drives me up the wall? The number of people who see a drop in the #COVID peak every few months and think, "Great! I can't wait to go to that conference next week," or, "Phew, finally I can go out to dinner again."
Like...
Sweetheart, what do you think is causing every subsequent increase, literally every few months, since 2020?! Stop it!
This is a subtoot. #MaskUp for dog's sake.
Hello, these are (usually) the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots. But it appears none of the three King County wastewater sample sites were updated this week on the dashboard. :(There are three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater. If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth@universeodon.com
Hey #Covid data nerds, I'm about to start a Symbicort inhaler for my ass-mar. It sounds like inhaled corticosteroids are basically a wash as a treatment for COVID per this 2025 roundup: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/resp.70134, but really what I'm interested in is knowing if this puts me at an increased risk of contracting COVID. I found this 2023 meta-analysis that says no, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10028214/
Has anyone seen recent info on that? Does that match your understanding?
Well, once again my wife and her coworkers exchanged more #covid than knowledge at their on-site meeting.
