If you think the pandemic's over, you're badly wrong. This is the staff absence rate for the seventh largest employer in the world. See the consistency of the absence rate leading up to the pandemic... Look at how it changed in 2020. And see where it's going *now*.

“I’m not testing for Covid. If I’m sick I’m sick. What difference does it make?” It makes a big difference. You SHOULD be testing. There’s things you should do differently if it’s Covid. Governments & public health aren’t informing you - but that doesn’t change reality 🧵/1

When politicians vote in favour of anti-trans legislation, your vote means “either you believe that trans children do not exist, or you believe that trans children do not deserve to exist.” npr.org/sections/shots-healt…

The only guaranteed way to prevent Long Covid is to avoid Covid in the first place. With these layered strategies it is possible to avoid infection (and reinfection). I urge everyone to make the choice to care. Make the choice to stop the spread. /17

Brilliant analysis Corey. I'm going to create a short thread here on the Health portfolio. At a high level this represents, over the next 4 years, a major shift in health spending from front line workers to "Ministry support". /1

Someone asked me, "if many people are gradually developing long COVID, wouldn't we see it in the economic data?" Yes, we would. And in fact we are. A few recent examples:

Let's clear up the most blatantly wrong thing @ABDanielleSmith has claimed so far: That puberty blockers are irreversible and therefore can permanently alter a youth's body for life They don't. Read on 🧵 #abpoli #ableg #abhealthcare 1/x

.@MargaretAtwood THANK YOU for this important message. My only wish is that your message is heard around the globe. Whether you live in Canada, USA, Hungary, Poland, Argentina, France, Turkey, or anywhere in between, the danger is real. You can stop it. Be engaged and VOTE!
Can people be fooled into thinking authoritarianism is better than democracy? Here is what award-winning novelist Margaret Atwood has to say:

Do you think that safety nets under the Golden Gate Bridge is a good idea? Do you think covering the railings with fencing on the High Level Bridge was reasonable? Congrats. You believe in harm reduction Let's talk about how @ABDanielleSmith is dismantling safety nets 👇🧵

Four years ago today a doctor in Wuhan reported a mystery pneumonia, whose origin was an unknown virus. Today, transmission of that virus is as high as it has ever been since that point. Millions of people a day. This is total, utter and astounding failure

The biggest danger to most people’s health at the moment is the lack of clear, honest, public health messaging.

🧵 There are 7 human coronaviruses (so far). Four of them cause the "common cold" (229E, NL63, OC43, HKU1). The three most recent are deadly (SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2). All three of the deadly ones use the ACE2 receptor. Only one of the common cold viruses (NL63) does.
