In a study in Finnish daycare centers, researchers found that air purifiers decreased children's illnesses by as much as 18.2 percent.

We must pass legislation that incentivizes and requires clean indoor air.

Jessica Wildfire @jessicawildfire pens an article in response to an opinion piece in the NYT talking about the lowering of excess mortality.

Jessica points out the fallacy in the argument. Authorities are improving their numbers by comparing current deaths with the higher death years of 2020/2021/2022. Looking at real pre-pandemic death levels which is where we would normally be, excess deaths are still at least 6% higher.

Just because you want the pandemic to be over and try to hide the numbers, it is clear that it is still with us and still resulting in high levels of disablement through long covid and deaths, both directly and indirectly.

There’s been a huge increase in people reporting all kinds of physical and cognitive difficulties after mild Covid infections. The medical research tells us what’s happening.

So do our own eyes.

Covid remains just as deadly as ever. You should not want to get Covid. You should not want to give it to anyone.

I learned proper #OralHealth practices late, so I want to pay it forward.

Order of operations:
Water rinse - flush large debris
Floss - break up small debris/tartar
Brush - clean surfaces & clear debris

Many studies show that _any_ powered toothbrush is better than traditional.

Soft bristles are safer for gums.

Small brush heads reach & clean better.

Nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste remineralizes, like fluoride, but also eases sensitivity & is safe to swallow. Great for kids!
