I need some mastodon magic, please.
I'm looking for countries that have introduced or broadened Indoor Air Quality laws since 2020. I'm particularly interested in the implementation/enforcement of those laws, especially in schools, healthcare, public transport...
I'm aware of laws in France, Belgium and Ontario but haven't found much on how it's going.

Please boost for reach!

@ConnyChiwa Latvia has real-time monitoring of air quality in every classroom of every school in the country.

War in den letzten Jahren irgendwas, was einen explosionsartigen Anstieg von Pflegebedarf verursachen könnte?

Irgendeine systemische pan- und dann endemische Infektion, deren Eindämmung wir komplett aufgegeben haben? Die bei einem geringen aber sich aufsummierendem Anteil von Patient*innen Langzeitfolgen verursacht? Gerade auch bei älterwerdenden Menschen?

Hm. Ne. Mysteriös. Unerklärlich.

(Die Alterspyramide ist auch zusätzlich extrem unberechenbar gewesen, wie jetzt die Geburtszahlen vor 60+ Jahren waren, mein Gott, das sind fast 20 Legislaturperioden im Westen allein, wer soll sich das denn merken, das müssen wir erst untersuchen, Ausschuss dann nächstes Jahr)

@larsmb
Ja ne, nicht mal Pandemie oder so; und der Anstieg ist auch nicht explosionsartig sondern kontinuierlich und er sollte auch nicht überraschend sein.

Der Anteil der Einwohnerschaft, der 80 oder 85 Jahre und älter ist, steigt. Es steigt nicht nur der relative Anteil sondern auch die absolute Zahl.
Aber in einem Land, dass jedes Jahr von de Schulanfängern überrascht wird, können auch unmöglich Pflegebedürftige prognostiziert werden.🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️

That’s ridiculous. I’d be making a complaint.

@Susan60 @DenisCOVIDinfoguy @auscovid19 The vaccine itself is free; the doctor’s consult that some clinics require may not be. They’re not prevented from requiring you to see a doctor — and they should be.

I went to another suburb and had a pharmacist do it for free.

Lauterbach wundert sich über den "explosionsartigen" Anstieg bei Pflegebedürftigen. Meint, es müsste irgendwie mit den Boomern zu tun haben.
Really?! 😷🙄

🇳🇿"New Zealand is experiencing its highest peak in COVID-19 cases since December 2022, professor Michael Baker says."

"Despite the recommended isolation period now only being 5 days, Baker suggested people still getting a positive Covid-19 test wait to test again on day 6 or 7 before going back into society."

"The biology hasn't changed," Baker said, but there was more pressure for people to go back to work and school."

@kingtor @DenisCOVIDinfoguy @auscovid19 I'm not sure I follow you, but it was vaguely interesting to me that the PCR test result was negative.

But the test was badly given by an dismissive and resentful phlebotomist who barely touched my dry skin with the swab.

World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO

ranked among the top 3 leading causes of death globally in 2020 and 2021, responsible for 13 million lives lost.

In most regions of the world, it was among the top 5 causes of death. In the Americas, it was the number 1 cause of death.

The mask I wear, , is having a storewide sale through the end of the month: https://www.flomask.com/

It's to celebrate the founder's birthday, so the coupon code is “KEVSTURNING45”.

I'm happy with my Flo Mask—it's the most comfortable well-fitting mask for me as a glasses-wearer. Good protection with minimal fog. (I recommend getting the optional foam condensation insert, which also helps reduce fogging.)

Another pandemic is ‘absolutely inevitable’, says Patrick Vallance
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/may/25/another-pandemic-is-absolutely-inevitable-says-patrick-vallance-covid

So many diseases are spread via the respiratory system. Air hygiene should be a big thing now. It works against all of them. Even before there's a vax.

If only we'd done these, we'd be totally ready.
Clean air in schools ✅
Respirators being worn widely ✅
Good infection control in hospitals ✅

and yet we're talking about the "next" pandemic.

So in today's Q&A, the Minister of Education was asked what does she think should be done now that schools have become a meat grinder chewing through teachers, relievers, aids and students and if sending sick kids to school would make it worse. (my paraphrase)

Her answer was that they recognise that and are working hard on making sure more meat is available to throw into the grinder. (my paraphrase again)

No actual solutions there. No ability to adapt to reality.

Maybe today's kids are different.

But when I was sick I didn't do much learning. Even as an adult, being sick means barely being productive.

I'd think sending sick kids to school doesn't help their learning at all.
It helps assistance stats.
It helps disease spread among other kids and teachers.
It also probably helps keep parents at work.

Not much else.
But we know this govt is allergic to evidence.
