MOLECULAR DETECTION of SARS-CoV-2 on THAI CURRENCY (Nature - May 2025) Researchers studied the risk of viruses spreading through cash in Bangkok's markets. They tested 300 samples of banknotes and coins and found 4% had viruses.

There is *loads* of shingles, appendicitis, strokes, vascular problems, high blood pressure, and breathing problems here in the wake of the most recent covid infections. Mostly needing hospital treatment.

10 MOST DANGEROUS VIRUSES ON EARTH (🧵 mega-thread) 1. **SARS-CoV-2**: The virus responsible for COVID-19, notable for its high transmissibility, global impact, and potential for severe illness and long-term health effects.

1/ Universities, schools and daycares are failing their students on #LongCOVID. It's time they step up, protect students, and reduce #COVID19 cases. The situation at Stanford is a harsh example. 🧵 #UniversitiesFailStudents #LongCOVIDAction

I just feel like posting a picture. Because, if visibility is being suppressed, why not?

Country music star Luke Bryan who stopped touring for nearly a month due to a mystery illness told the audience: “I got COVID. You can boo that s*** all you want, but I got it. I had to cancel some shows, and now I’m back. But I’m not 100%, because it’s still kicking my a**.”

I'm trying not be too judgemental of Sean Feucht, but... there is a long history of American "ministries" thinking they can use the same playbook, sermons, approach, etc. in Canada. It usually falls flat. Preach Jesus, not the tone-deaf false gospel of MAGA.

Reading the "Preparing for your child's surgery" info sent by the children's hospital. They won't come get the parent until the child is awake. Recovery Room has lots of other patients, staff, and possibly families who aren't required to mask. WHY NOT? How can I advocate?!?

Over 200 people attended the funeral. No mention of masks, so I'm assuming there were none. R.I.P. my stubborn, but dearly loved grandpa. And I really hope no more of my relatives die as a result of this event. I need a good cry. Like for days. I hate this timeline.

So this is pretty cool 😎 Laser-induced fluorescent based real-time monitoring of bacterial load in air Live vs dead bacteria, fungi No consumables Pricey but also available for rent How contaminated is your patient room / OR / ED / workplace? micronview.com/BioAerosol-Mon…

The CSA has put forward a proposed standard and if this standard is adopted, respirators will be required in Canadian health care settings by default. Your feedback can help. publicreview.csa.ca/Home/View/2256…

I'm finished for the year! Thank you for all your support. It's not easy being the only one doing this, and you really help.🧵

I'm not an engineer, doctor, or influencer. But I'm very grateful for the AirFanta products that use laminar air flow tech to create a "breathing zone" in front of your face. Thank you @Engineer_Wong. You may have saved my daughter's life when she had emergency dental surgery.

This thread is a gold mine of practical tips. It's sad that we've all been left to figure out this stuff on our own. But encouraging that people are creative and persistent, even when it's hard.

We found a dentist who “gets” it!!! Too bad they don’t treat children. So bizarre that the paediatric dentist and hospital is filled with staff, patients, and visitors who freely breathe and cough their germs everywhere.

“This is not a respiratory virus. This virus is like cancer. This virus gets into every part of your body.” Dr. Pat Soon-Shiong has now been on Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly urging Government intervention. Meanwhile MSM and left leaning media, crickets.

Do you live in an apartment or stay in hotels? Got a "oops, outside air can get you" study. Coming out of Beijing University of Technology - taking airborne transmission seriously. They rented 50 rooms of a building. Did some very cool CFD work - then, be still my heart,

I wonder how many people dentists have killed during this pandemic?

It's difficult to grasp just how bad medical gaslighting can be. Allow me to share a story of someone else in my family (lots of fired patients around here have these family stories, it seems to be one of only 2-3 common factors we share):
