Hey @AboutKidsHealth why don't you ever talk about mitigating #COVID? Or #Airborne precautions for flu, RSV & Covid? Ventilation, filtration & masking are all layers of protection that can prevent infection. #ProtectNotInfect @SickKidsNews @ronald_cohn @TOPublicHealth
Why won't @SickKidsNews @BogochIsaac recommend layers of mitigation? A plan to get vaccinated in 3 weeks is not going to stop influenza today. 😷🪟🧪💉 @kerry_gillespie omission is a form of #MISINFORMATION @TOPublicHealth @TOTopDoc we need better comms like @DurhamHealthNC ⬇️

It’s 2026 Comms from the best right now None of this is hard to communicate or understand Twitter.com/TdotMum/status/2… #WeAllHaveToBreathe #WeAllShareIndoorAir #CleanAir #WearARespie
Wishing my local public health units would produce comms like this. @TOPublicHealth @OttawaHealth @PublicHealthON @TOTopDoc What are we waiting for? We need to use all layers of protection to prevent respiratory illnesses. 😷🪟💉🧪 #ProtectNotInfect

I really wish @GovCanHealth @PublicHealthON @TOPublicHealth would communicate like @DurhamHealthNC especially since no one can even source a flu vaccine right now. Almost 7 years in, we shouldn’t have to be begging pubic health to do their jobs.
Replying to @ONThealth
Since Flu is ramping up with Covid & RSV too, how about some guidance on how to mitigate the spread of #airborne infectious diseases? Most won't be able to get vaccinated for weeks. There are lots of things we can do to protect ourselves and our communities. #MaskUp #CleanAir

Wouldn't it be great if these news stories could include all layers of prevention? Can't understand why our PH units aren't giving people the info to protect themselves and their communities. xitter.cf/TdotMum/status/2105764…

Lots of other ways to prevent infections too. A layered approach is best. There are lots of outbreaks in LTC, acute care and retirement homes. Hope the hospitals are ramping up masking again, so much of this is preventable. xitter.cf/TdotMum/status/2105764…

All children deserve #CleanAir. Canada is way behind other nations in ensuring that the air that we breathe is safe and healthy. #ProtectNotInfect @MarkJCarney @GovCanHealth @fordnation @PaulCalandra @SylviaJonesMPP @oliviachow @TOPublicHealth @TOTopDoc @ShamjiAdil @SalmaZahid15
Credit to @BarryGardiner MP for raising air quality in schools at the UN today. @SadiqKhan's work is a welcome first step. But *all* children deserve clean air. 1/2

I've been told by those in health care in Toronto, the Cdn hub of the SARS outbreak, that none of the patients who survived were ever well enough to return to work again. We should have known, we should have prepared for this when SARS-2 (COVID) came along.
Grade 6 social studies in homeschool is RICH today. It’s been a LONG lesson. For anyone with a bit of time to read this page, this is pretty interesting stuff. I’ve had a LOT to say this morning 😂.

It's truly impressive how the Ontario Attorney General implemented air quality standards (CO2 < 800 ppm) with live monitoring at courts across the province back in 2021. Schools? Not so much. Check the portal: drla.ca/covid19/magportal_en… @MaritStiles @ChandraPasma

Human neural stem cells are vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2, like Omicron. Research found blocking one entry pathway cut viral entry by 75–85%. Maternal infection may disrupt fetal brain development, risking long-term cognitive or behavioural issues. Monitoring exposed kids is critical.

Today is my aunty's birthday. She died last year from COVID. Twice infected at church, the second time fatal. We didn't agree on a lot, masking and COVID safety included, but I loved her and miss her very much.

I would ask “who is still masking” every six months. I stopped. Maybe I’m afraid that our group is getting smaller… Today I ask again - where is the #MaskUp & #ThirstMasking crew?
