Advocacy opportunity 📣 BC's Finance committee is now accepting written feedback on what to include in BC's 2027 budget. This is a critical chance to tell policy-makers to support clean air, Long COVID care, testing, wastewater monitoring and more.

Learn how to submit your written feedback at https://donoharmbc.ca/bc-government-2027-budget.../ - and find some sample answers you can use to make it easier! In past years, budget feedback has resulted in some notable successes - including a 2024 commitment of over $3 billion in continued pandemic funding.

This year's feedback deadline is 2 pm (Pacific Time) on Friday, June 19. Note that if you're already scheduled to present directly to the finance committee, you do *not* need to do a written submission as well.

Maybe if we decided to improve air quality in schools, health care and other shared spaces, we could improve the situation.

We have the knowledge and technology. Air quality monitoring, clear rules for ventilation and filtering of air, expanding access to vaccines and treatments, and making masking normal and acceptable would not only reduce the incidence of covid, but also every airborne disease. And clean air increases cognitive performance.

It's really not that hard. We just need to adapt and accept the science. 🤷

It's crucial to share how important it is to also think about air quality indoors. Using a HEPA air purifier, North Box PC-fan air purifier, or CR box can help! 🏠💨

Full readings from my time at the PCP this week. Not good - especially in a known COVID surge in MA - better ventilation, HEPA (merv 13) filters, and masking would go miles in protecting your staff and patients from acquired illness at your facilities.

**Outdoors, CO2 levels are 400-475 ppm. Above 800 ppm, at least 1% of your air is “shared” - meaning you're breathing in exhaled air. CO2 levels above 1,000 ppm is a sign there are elevated risks of potential virus transmission for everyone in the room. Spaces with multiple occupants should aim for 600 ppm to prevent cross-infection.
