Reminder as we head into back to school season: Covid isn't seasonal - it spreads all year round. It's also not just respiratory. It's a systemic multi-organ virus. Masks, clean air, vaccines, testing, staying home when sick are all part of the solution

The CDC recently downshifted the categories and colors it uses to describe all current and historical COVlD levels. Our state stables show both, and the interactive map allows you to toggle to the version you prefer. THREAD (5/5) 🧵 bsky.app/profile/mich...

Seeing lots of COVID minimizing / memory-holing in the U.S. lately. A reminder of what it was like at its worst here in Alberta: "The deadliest week came right around Christmas [2020]. From Dec. 21 to 27, the novel coronavirus was claiming 24 lives per day across the province. One death per hour."
What it’s like to die from COVID — and how it feels for those left behind
Marlene Ducommun realized she was going to die and was angry for about 15 minutes. She’s one of nearly 2,000 Albertans who lost their lives to the disease in the past year.

Bravo to David Eby re the utter treachery of #AlbertaSeparatists seeking assistance from MAGA 🇺🇸. "To go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up 🇨🇦, there's an old-fashioned word for that. And that word is: treason." #AlbertaSeparation #TraitorsToCanada #ableg #abpoli #BCpoli
Because I leave so early for work today, I didn’t think I’d see my teen until tomorrow. Until she said “you can wake me up to say goodbye before you leave in the morning”. I won’t let that offer pass me by…

Between years of college, I worked a job doing outdoor maintenance. The last time I drank from those hoses was when one had to be unplugged due to the <ahem> aquatic life getting stuck in it, blocking the sprinkler. Such was my conviction that all hose water is potable. (Luckily no illness resulted)

I have only had one person aggressively question my mask wearing in six years. I quite simply have not encountered the push back others seem to get. Is it my height? My direct eye contact? Something in my stride? I’m genuinely interested to know. (“Be taller” is not a solution, I know…)

You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈
#AlbertaSeparation is a white nationalist/Christo-fascist treasonous movement to destabilize Canada, as exemplified by far right 🇺🇸 ‘pastor’ #DougWilson’s support. Not by coincidence, at a time when 🇨🇦 is being hit with economic warfare, threats of annexation, black-ops & global economic turmoil.
