Schwer verlaufende Infektionskrankheiten wie Grippe oder Covid können schwerwiegende Folgeerkrankungen nach sich ziehen. Forschende wissen jetzt, woran das liegt - und raten deshalb zu bestimmten Schutzmaßnahmen.
Here’s the latest hazard index from the academic-led team at Covid-19 Resources Canada, based on federal wastewater data. This is the forecast from March 28th to April 10th.
COVID rates are still high across Canada (~1 in every 84 people is infected), and high in BC (~1 in 175). As always, COVID continues to mutate and spread through communities. Spring vaccines are becoming available but in limited supply; call the vaccine line (1-833-838-2323) to book an appointment.
Stay safe: ventilate, vaccinate, educate, mitigate. And head to https://linktr.ee/donoharmbc to sign up to present at the next BC budget meeting by April 10th to get a chance to speak directly to policy-makers about all things clean air, masks, tests, and vaccines.
🎁 On ne vous en avait pas encore parlé mais on a eu pour les Mask Blocs un (très) gros don de masques FFP2 Texinov. Ce sont de masques de forme "canard", très respirables.
On a reçu 9 *palettes* de 16800 masques
Oui oui
(ça fait 151 200 masques)
(De rien)
La répartition du stock a déjà commencé, y a eu des départs pour le Nord , la Bretagne, Auvergne Rhône Alpes, la Suède, l'Espagne, la Norvège et la Belgique.

Just got an email from the company from where I order my N95 masks. 3M is implementing a 6% 'supply chain increase' across all products, effective April 2, 2026. Stock up on N95 masks now if you can afford it!
Look, we have known for more than half a decade that COVID-19 is airborne, we shouldn't need to have this fight.
When an article gets something wrong to the point that it is dangerous to the public, that is the definition of a public danger. So when this piece https://theconversation.com/covid-19-variant-ba-3-2-is-spreading-quickly-across-us-a-doctor-explains-what-you-need-to-know-279447 says
First, wash your hands

It's 2023 - no it's 2024. It's 2025. No, no, it's 2026! And we have another variant that defeats vaccination to date:
BA.3.2-derived lineages exhibit escape from vaccine-elicited neutralising antibodies [1]
And another variant that is defeated by N95s 
and clean air, because
70 to 75 genetic changes in its spike protein [2]
can't stop aerosolized particles from being trapped by effective filtration.

During this whole pandemic I have been pondering how to have satisfying social events that are not centered around food and drinks, which was my usual in the before times.
New experiment today was having a friend do a masked dj set in the kitchen during a craft party. 10/10 recommend craft rave.
