I would also like to an a giant FU to the CAQ for installing CO2 monitors, upping the threshold to 1500bpm and not cleaning the air. This is my high risk child who still masks but sits in windowless classrooms all day…first C infection was back in Sept.
“sub-800 ppm is a prudent operational target for many settings.”
Someone might want to clue the Quebec gov in on this seeing that they decided 1500 is the threshold for classrooms.
I tried to get Corsi boxes into the school as a STEM project. Principal and teachers were all enthusiastically on board. The school said no due to insurance reasons. 🙄
Butterfly enthusiast here. They left Mexico in record numbers this year and yet I’ve only seen one monarch here in Quebec this summer. I usually have tons of eggs by now. I suspect they have a hard time surviving the trip via America.
And tornado warnings
Our son’s elementary school isn’t air conditioned (Quebec). We’re told the electrical system is too old and installing units would overload it. It’s brutal on hot days!
I’m in Canada and have been seeing a lot of media coverage on this.
Thanks! I have to go get my annual blood test so I was planning to ask the nurse about it. I get my blood tests and vaccines at my local pharmacy so she should know!
I asked my doctor about it last week because I was travelling to Toronto and she said it’s next to impossible to get a MMR booster as an adult if you haven’t had any direct exposure. I’m in Qc.
I found the direct link to the COVID segment:

[10 Dec 2024] Opening Remarks from Dr Tedros at yesterday’s @who.int media briefing:
“We cannot talk about COVID in the past tense.
“It’s still with us, it still causes acute disease and Long COVID, and it still kills.
“The world might want to forget about COVID-19, but we cannot afford to.”
Anything reflecting on school closures during early Covid-19 should mention the fact that kids have and continue to develop Long Covid as a result of infections.
Graph showing Canada's estimated (predicted) new daily COVID hospitalizations, by province, since Dec 2021. (5 week rolling averages) Graph available at: https://covid19resources.ca/covid-hazard-index Page 21 (Hospitalizations, ICU)
Graph showing expected deaths resulting from estimated new daily infections, by province, since Dec 2021. (5 week rolling averages) Graph available at: https://covid19resources.ca/covid-hazard-index Page 23 (Deaths)
Infections, hospitalizations and deaths are increasing 7-9% per week across Canada.
Expected excess mortality due to COVID-19 in Canada is VERY HIGH (11%, Forecast score 11).
3 tables showing total expected hospitalizations since Dec 2/21 by province (error range -/+ 10%), total expected ICU admissions since Dec 2/21 by province (error range -/+ 10%), and total expected deaths since Dec 2/21 by province (error range -/+ 10%) Tables available at: https://covid19resources.ca/covid-hazard-index Page 24 (Reported deaths, ICU, hospitalizations by age)
Graph showing Estimated new daily infections resulting in daily life activity-limiting symptoms lasting >3 months, by province, since Dec 2021. (5 week rolling averages) Graph available at: https://covid19resources.ca/covid-hazard-index Page 18 (Long COVID)
Infections in Canada this week are expected to result in 4,300 hospitalizations, 843 deaths (people who die at least 1 year earlier than they would without COVID) and 11,000 new long COVID cases serious enough to limit daily life activities.
Long-term heart risks from COVID-19.
"A study found that having a COVID-19 infection doubles the risk of cardiovascular diseases, with risks extending up to 3 years."
"The risks presented by COVID-19 apply to all patients, regardless of age, gender, or prior health conditions."
Anyone else think there needs to be a big summer music festival this year featuring ONLY Canadian musicians? Who would be in your lineup? OLP, Moist, Feist, Sarah Slean, Alanis… Call it the “Elbows Up Fest”.
I had them the other night and tried every trick the internet suggested. Finally after 30 mins I gave up and turned on a true crime documentary…they were gone within 2 minutes 😂
I had thought about doing that but figured it’s not worth it seeing that people would not care enough to put in the effort without a direct link. I’ll just take screenshot and post it in a comment to every “why is my kid sick” post. 🤷🏼♀️
Fantastic!
I wish it could be shared on Facebook, specifically in the mom groups where they keep asking “why is my kid always sick” over and over and over and over.
Me too! I’ve turned off all notifications for the other app and have moved it out of sight so I keep forgetting to check it!
