I bought the tool secondhand somewhere in #Edmonton, #Alberta sometime shortly after the beginning of the #covid19 #pandemic, as one of many quasi-random #tools and #materials I would end up testing and using to create my own masks that would be safe for me to wear for long periods and provide the best degree of homemade #PPE protection I could manage whilst also avoiding problems with #allergies (such as metal on nose-fittings). 3/x #TrialAndError #testing #experimental #experimentation #safety #health #CovidIsNotOver

Since those days, and the present ability to obtain #allergy-safe (for me) #silicone #ElastomericRespirators, the tool has sat unused among many items from those early desperate days. As locals will recall, 2020 was when #Edmonton experienced the beginning of the #pandemic. 2021 was our first-ever #HeatDome. 2022 and thereafter to the present has seen long stretches of #ExtremeHeat and the switch from #SummerSeason to #WildfireSeason, adding frequently horrendous #AirQuality to the sustained heat. #yeg #ClimateChange #wildfires 4/x

Now, the Hoarding Foundation of Alberta is, imnsho, great. 🙂 Prior to the beginning of the #covid19 #pandemic I had gone to their in-person support group and found some very useful strategies for dealing with what I recognised could become a significant problem. Back then, they weren't even a formal organisation yet and I'm pleased that they've come so far to provide much-needed expertise on this disorder. Check them out here! 🙂 https://www.hdfa.ca 13/x #hoarding #materials #objects #accessibility #Alberta #yeg

“Communities of color and the poor were disproportionately impacted through disrupted social networks—another consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and a marker of poor health and premature death—and this may have further compounded who got sick and received treatment or care,” the authors wrote. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/burials-unclaimed-people-nyc-soared-early-covid-pandemic-suggesting-worsened-disparities #PublicHealth #deaths #burials #covid #pandemic #disparities #poverty #immigration

My first COVID post in a long time 😳 COVID probably killed 150,000 more people in its first two years than official U.S. tolls show “#COVID may have killed significantly more people in the U.S. in the first two years of the #pandemic than official records indicate, with as many as one overlooked death for every five recorded ones. That brings the total to nearly one million deaths just in 2020 and 2021.” https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/covid-killed-150-000-more-people-in-its-first-two-years-than-official-toll/

A long-winded, but also realistic way to say that we do not know were SARS-CoV-2 came from. It does not even matter what is the most likely origin, because unlikely things also happen all the time. Just look at football results... #COVID19 #pandemic https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00530-y

#Evidence that healthcare-associated infections were reduced in neonatal intensive care units by the protection measures during the #COVID19 #pandemic. Another confirmation of the efficacy of the measures and a call to learn our lessons. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2844427
