We're thrilled to release the #LongCovid Treatment Guide! This is a collaboration with @rthm.bsky.social to help patients & providers explore treatment options together.
The guide focuses on 24 medications, but includes a few other interventions for breadth /1
4 years ago, NB abruptly went from closing due to omicron, to encouraging the hasty and deadly spread of disease. No more counting school cases, no more masks, no more isolation, no more testing required. And education and health reps were all unavailable for comment.
Hi. I don’t know what was on the highway but I would not want to breathe it in. If you are having to deal with cleaning this mystery substance up and would like some respiratory protection please get in touch. We have N95s!
Wow - is paxlovid functionally unavailable in NB? #NBPoli
We would all be healthier today if the province had taken the money the Feds gave them for COVID prevention and relief and actually spent it in schools, instead of banking it to pad their surplus.
A 35 year old letter to the editor, written by a very ballsy 15 year old, about the Rodney King verdict.
Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.
As of Jan 1, 2026 we are no longer taking requests for masks. We will be hosting pop ups a few times a year across the province instead. Stay tuned for that information.
You can still borrow a CR Box for your events!

Ew
It is important not to forget about the other respiratory viruses currently circulating.

LOL... Pentagon released a new AI military chatbot and it immediately pointed out that Pete Hegseth is a war criminal.

We have some mask distro news.
As of Jan 1 2026 we will no longer be using the request form. Instead, we will be offering pop ups in cities across the province.
We’re busy volunteers and we’re burning out.
If we’ve helped you, please tell @susanholtnb.bsky.social. Masks should be free for all
Reminder: It's never too late to start wearing a mask again
Your wellness routine should include taking precautions to avoid multiple covid infections that damage your immune system, hope that helps. 🌟💕

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.
Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.
Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.
I have family & friends who think I’m “over the top” about Covid & it’s time to move on. I’m not perfect in how I manage viruses, but I know a f*ck ton more than I used to & I wouldn’t step a foot in some places w/o a mask. I get eye rolled at all the time. I don’t GAF. It’s dangerous out there.
This is dope. In the spirit of the BPP free breakfast program, but fancy.
“Because COVID destabilizes the immune system, researchers are now beginning to see a link between repeat COVID infections and rising cancer rates in young people. One study recently found that a COVID infection can accelerate or increase cancer risk…”
What does a person do in @govnb.bsky.social when their long covid causes cardiac issues and there’s no follow up, no care? 💔💔💔💔💔
The UK government will continue to fine parents and pretend that COVID has gone away.
@georgiagould.bsky.social says there is an "absence epidemic". Can anyone suggest how to improve school attendance?

I don’t think that we see this version of NB without NB twitter. That world is gone now, and this place is less cohesive, and less goofy, but for the few who remain and will see this I want to say thanks. I want to say thanks to those who have moved on too, but were so instrumental in fighting.
We got $20 billion for Argentina though.
Where do we go for acute issues that are caused by our chronic illnesses? The ER doesn’t manage our issues. Well neither do our doctors. So where do we go. What do we do? We sit at home and hope it’s not fatal.
I would love @susanholtnb.bsky.social and the minister of health to weigh in on this.
This is not quite accurate.
In NB, only facilities under the anglophone regional health authority, @horizonhealthnb.bsky.social reinstated masking.
The francophone regional health authority, @vitalitenb.bsky.social has not reinstated masking, had not done so last year either...
This excellent video builds out the case for public grocery stores.
This idea is landing super well with Canadians, who are tired of trading their paycheques for overpriced food so corporations can line their pockets.
It’s the kind of populist offer the NDP can win with! Join us: lewisforleader.ca

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”
Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!
