This is ridiculous. During the by-election I heard over and over again about how hard it is to find swimming lessons. Too many kids are falling through the cracks. If parents can't teach their kids how to swim in our public pools, how are they supposed to learn?

Covid measures pushed down deaths from influenza to remarkably low levels. The death rate is surging back--including 266 children. 90% of children who died in the 2024-2025 flu season were not fully vaccinated against the flu. www.cdc.gov/fluview/surv...
Yes. 5 years in, I'm surprised by how people out there still don't realize that a respirator mask, such as an N95, protects the wearer from others *as much* as it protects others from the wearer. Don't overthink it; pop one on in public buildings, planes, trains, etc. and avoid respiratory illness.
Roxi Horror 💀🌸@roxiqt.com · last yr.Went to a few flea markets today. I was the only person masked but two different unmasked people came up and mentioned that they liked my face mask and that it was smart to wear a mask right now with everything going around. Folks, I am begging you to realize you can mask to protect yourselves too.
What she said was that airborne evidence of transmission was a ‘tempest in a teapot’. She should also be judged by what she did, which included going to games at BC Place and making funny maskless faces with young kids in summer 2021. #BCPoli vancouver.citynews.ca/2021/08/20/m...

Clean water did not make kids sicker. Clean air will not make kids sicker. I can't believe that public health even thought to flog immunity debt to cover their mass-infecting asses, and, even worse, that people fell for this logic-defying statement. Sickness. Is. NOT. Health.

Your immune system isn't a Tamagotchi that dies if you don't play with it. "Immunity debt" is a marketing term to make you blame yourself instead of bad policy. Getting sick constantly isn't normal — it’s a public health failure.
