As The WHO Blurs Smoking - Vaping Line, Leaders Must Demand Transparency for Continued Funding

For anyone who has watched family members suffer and die from smoking-related disease, tobacco control is not an abstract policy debate, it is deeply personal.

Once again displaying #CovidWastewater on my #NYC #RespiratoryIllness dashboard!

For a while I embedded the #COVID #wastewater Tableau chart from the New York State Department of Health. But I had to update it manually, and it got out of date.

Now the NYC Department of Environmental Protection seems to be reliably updating the city's Open Data portal with the most recent data!

Counts have been low lately; let's hope it's a while before the next wave!

Since the day after Thanksgiving, when we spent two days with up to 14 people, including school-age kids, we have been sick. I still feel just as bad today as I did when this started. (I also have asthma.)

According to this infographic, it's probably just a bad cold.
(Negative COVID tests. We are COVID and flu vaccinated as well.)

If you get sick, this chart could help you figure out what's causing your symptoms.

No mention of airborne disease spread or respirators, only hand hygiene. 🤡 I know lots of Covid-competent folks who could demonstrate N95s and explain ventilation/air filtration! 😷 💨
“Alberta Children’s Hospital is desperately seeking new volunteers for an infection prevention education program. ‘We go into the patient’s room and meet with the family to discuss the importance of why we do hand hygiene and how germs can spread.’” #InfectionPrevention #RespiratoryIllness #AirborneDisease #Covid
