Das war mal wieder ein "schöner" Arztbesuch:
- 2600 ppm CO2 am Empfang
- MFAs und Patient*innen röcheln und husten
- keine Masken
- keine Luftreiniger
- keine erkennbare Belüftungsanlage
Zwei Aushänge am Empfang:
1. Es wird nach Unterstützung für die MFAs gesucht. (Der hing vor ca. 6 Monaten auch schon dort.)
2. Aufgrund der "hohen Arbeitsbelastung" werden jetzt Zusatzgebühren für Atteste etc. erhoben.
Das ist übrigens die Praxis, die im Dezember nicht mehr ans Telefon gegangen ist.
Ist halt alles so, kann man einfach nix machen, nech. 🤷

Someone in this meeting has a sick child they need to look after, someone else was bragging about being ill last week and still going to the House of Commons...
We can clean the air and give people pride in staying home when they're sick. #CovidIsNotOver and the mitigations for it help slow the spread of a lot of other disease too!

The excellent and freely distributable COVID Zine has been updated for 2026.
https://newlevant.com/COVIDzine
This is among the most concise and well cited sources for the current state of #Covid knowledge and tools. Even for well-informed people who already take strong precautions, there is still likely something new to be learned by giving it a read through.

Advocacy opportunity 📣 BCCDC is currently assessing BC’s wastewater surveillance program. Do the survey here: https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5bVmczsX2GeocuO
Wastewater testing is an “early warning system” to monitor community illness levels, including surges & new variants. Clinical data (like rising hospitalizations & deaths) are lagging indicators, making wastewater monitoring an essential tool for pandemic preparedness and risk assessments. Unfortunately, BC drastically downgraded their testing program in Sept 2025 - they stopped testing a third of the wastewater treatment plants, reduced sampling to only once a week (it was previously 3 times a week), and reduced sequencing to once every two weeks.
This is our chance to let BC know:
👉 wastewater testing is essential
👉 we don’t want any more cuts
👉 we want them to improve the program!
The survey only takes a few minutes & is anonymous. You can also learn more about BC’s wastewater program here: https://www.bccdc.ca/our-services/programs/wastewater-surveillance

Yaneer Bar-Yam, founder of the so-called World Health Network which so many covid-aware people foolishly insisted on following, appears in the Epstein files.
Here's Bar-Yam asking Epstein, who four years earlier had pleaded guilty of child prostitution, if he wants to talk about science: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA02025360.pdf

did you know that in New Zealand, state schools can request free CO2 monitors from the Ministry of Education to help measure and improve classroom ventilation?

Someone on the godforsaken student teaching subreddit asked a question about how to avoid getting sick in the classroom. I recommended wearing a tight-fitting N95 respirator. Moments later, they banned me. What a bunch of ignorant jackasses. #CovidIsNotOver

My COVID-conscious household has recently learned that our preferred mask seller, Vogmask, is now defunct due to having its ass handed to it by tariffs. 😐 We are now in search of an alternate mask provider.
Anyone out there have recommendations?
In particular, also looking for anyone with more info on current status of Cambridge, a UK-based mask company. I ordered one from them back in 2020 but didn't like the mask I received at the time, curious to see if they're still alive and kicking, AND if they can deliver to the US still.
(Editing to add: criteria we're looking for: cloth with filter layers, reusable, KF94 or KN95, nice designs preferred since that was a Vogmask thing)
