Prevention of COVID, and Long COVID, must not be a lost cause. @juliadoubleday.bsky.social
Reality: airborne viruses spread more easily in poorly ventilated spaces, including: classrooms, hospitals, surgeries, care homes, offices, public transport, corridors, prisons, supermarkets and stores, et al.

Yesterday was World Osteoporosis Day, a reminder that bone health depends on more than calcium.

Polluted indoor air can weaken bones through inflammation and toxins.

Clean air may be one of the quiet protectors of strength as we age.

Bones Breathe Too: Why Indoor Air Quality Matters for Osteoporosis - AIR SUPPORT PROJECT

New research shows that indoor air pollution—from cooking, gas stoves, wildfire smoke, and even traffic exhaust that seeps indoors—can accelerate bone loss and worsen osteoporosis.

The COVID-19 pandemic did take peoples rights away… and it is still taking people’s rights away.

Even if you don’t realise it. Your right to safer air and better health has been taken away.

COVID-19 cases are still high, so be sure to know the facts and avoid the myths in order to protect yourself and others.

COVID-19 myths vs. facts. myth: If I’ve already had COVID-19 once, I’m immune from getting it again. Fact: There is no limit on how many times you can get COVID-19. Reinfection is common, and each new infection raises your risk of serious illness, organ damage, Long COVID, and more.

COVID-19 myths vs. facts. myth: I won’t get COVID-19 as long as I wash my hands well. Fact: It’s always a good idea to wash your hands, but COVID-19 spreads primarily through the air and respiratory droplets, so handwashing is much less likely to prevent COVID-19 than wearing masks.

COVID-19 myths vs. facts. myth: I don’t need to wear masks if I’ve already been vaccinated.Fact: Vaccines can reduce your risk of infection, and if you do get sick after being vaccinated, you are much less likely to experience severe illness or death, but it is still possible to get COVID-19 and spread it to others even if you’ve been vaccinated, so it’s a good idea to keep masking.

Listen to this young lady, protect yourselves. Don’t wait for the messaging, it’s already been over 5 years! We have an estimated 409 million with long Covid now. Over 28 million have died. We need to help each other #WeShareTheAir

“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!

Leading the way since 2020. They invested in IAQ sensors in every classroom across the district.

"By having real-time data, you can make smart, targeted, strategic investments in your school buildings, especially when resources are limited."

Sensors are not enough.
You need experts too.
