Why Are People Wearing Masks in 2025? A Mental Health Professional’s Perspective

Maybe they.

BTW.. Doug Ford AGAIN has failed to meet new housing goals even after INCLUDING DORM ROOMS & LTC BEDS!! LOSER. He had no intentions of getting the homeless/pwd/elderly housed! Just another lie. Ontarians fell for his bullshit 3X now!! 😡🤬🤬
He did generously raise ODSP rent allowance to $599. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The SA600 between two planters with air purifying plants acts as office dividers. Banner shows “SMART AIR.” Text reads “Not your average office divider. Looks good. Cleans air.”

Why settle for a boring office divider when you can have a Clean Air Divider? 👀

We paired our SA600 with planters filled with air-purifying plants to create a divider that not only look good, but also cleans the air !

Clean air, better focus, and a stylish touch all in one. 🌿

A lot of big things happening lately

“Despite the perception that when it comes to COVID, children are somehow a different species…” 🙄

Yes another compelling reason to #CleanTheAir.

Whoa.

Just in case you needed another reason to wear a mask… More studies are coming out showing that COVID can trigger dormant cancer cells to grow.

We’ve known about the oncogenic properties of viruses for years… now is a chance to adapt & protect one another.

Masks & clean air work!

We need more people speaking up about this. Please help. It’s pretty basic.

Autoimmunity in Children Post-COVID: A Silent Risk New research reveals links between SARS-CoV-2 infections and autoimmune responses in children.

“A recent study has unveiled an association between SARS-CoV-2 infections and the development of autoantibodies in children, even among those who experienced mild or asymptomatic cases.”

DOUG FORD IS AT IT AGAIN!! We have tonwork hard to keep track of all that he is trying tomstrip from the province!!

Think back to the times in your life when you were at your lowest. Anxious? Lonely? Depressed?
Now think how just one person made a difference. It may be something very meaningful or something that seemed inconsequential at the time.
Acts of kindness can be life altering; be kind

Mary Had Schizophrenia—Then Suddenly She Didn’t Some psychiatric patients may actually have treatable autoimmune conditions. But what happens to the newly sane?

The chief of a unit at the National Institute of Mental Health estimates that between one and five per cent of people who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia actually have an autoimmune condition.

It’s not unusual.
#CovidIsNotOver

Definitely. Luckily my kids know better and can see that his comments were irresponsible, but it’s unsettling that a) he believes this and b) he had no problems potentially undermining my relationship with my tween kids like that. I have much less respect for him now.

That’s awesome. I took my kids to their ped last month. The 3 of us were masked and he asked “are we sick or…” and I explained that we still mask indoors. We discussed and his final words were “covid is now endemic and it isn’t something you need to rearrange your life for”. We’ll agree to disagree…

Partial screenshot of the website showing the name of the website (Canadian Aerosol Transmission Coalition), a banner with large letters and the words "COVID IS AIRBORNE" as well as the words: "The SARS-CoV2 virus is in the air — at close range and further away. This clear science can no longer be denied. Occupational health specialists and others from Canada and around the world have delivered this message since the pandemic began."

For folks who care about #IAQ #CleanAir (which *should be everyone*), should bookmark this website:

Melissa speaking about the long-term effects of COVID-19 infection on set with CBC Vancouver News at 6 anchor Dan Burritt

5 years after #COVID19 turned the world upside down, what do we know about its long-term effects?
Good to join @danburritt.bsky.social tonight to talk:
👩 who's at risk
💉 how to prevent it
🦠 how multiple infections jump your risk of Long COVID from 15% to 40%
+ more.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVKp...

WOW!! 🤯 I can’t believe my ears, a doctor on CBC News explaining the facts about Long Covid! We need more of this on MSM. Will it get people to finally believe true danger of Covid & protect themselves & others? Dr. Len even says the more infections, the higher the risk of LC
😷 Mask & clean the air!

Thank you for doing this 🩷

I’m so glad they’ve ruled out MG but so sorry you’re having to deal with all of these challenges. I hope you clear this covid asap and that relief and remedies come your way asap.

Hi Kristin, I’m new to your account but just saw your post. Do you have a history of swallowing issues? Have they ruled out Myasthenia Gravis?

Tracking Proteins That Help the COVID-19 Virus Replicate - News Center Scientists have identified dozens of human proteins that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, depends on to replicate and spread, according to a recent study published in the journal PLOS Biolo...

Scientists have identified dozens of human proteins that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, depends on to replicate and spread, according to a recent study. The results could pave the way for new antiviral treatments that target the host rather than the virus itself, says Judd Hultquist

Fluctuating estrogen may worsen Long COVID symptoms like fatigue, brain fog & POTS. Hormonal shifts (perimenopause, menopause) can amplify immune dysregulation.

🩺 Tailored HRT may help, evidence is emerging.

Long Covid

‘6 weeks later.. I realized I was getting worse, not better..
..really intense chest pains & really high heart rate (tachycardia) just doing simple activities like walking around the house..
And.. the fatigue..like really, really terrible jet lag, but with horrible muscle aches involved’

Oh cool so one likely reason wastewater covid levels have been so low is that most places are probably using an outdated test for a part of the virus that has mutated so the test isn't detecting it properly anymore

Cool cool cool cool cool zeroes.ca/@subjacentis...

The excellent updated segment re: the importance/missed opportunity of #CleanAir that @60minutes.bsky.social did last June is also now paywalled. I was so disappointed to discover, as it’s the most accessible, common-sense clip I found to share with #covid ostriches.

Step by step, the longest march
Can be won, can be won
Many stones can form an arch
Singly none, singly none
And by union what we will
Can be accomplished still
Drops of water turn a mill
Singly none, singly none

Figure 1. EBV infection of gastric epithelial cells impinges several molecular pathways leading to GC. EBV expresses latent membrane proteins-1 and − 2A (LMP1 and LMP2A) to maintain latency and cell proliferation through a positive feedback loop with NF-kB. LMP2A activates DNA methyltransferase 3 beta (DNMT3B) causing genome-wide methylation contributing to gastric cancer (GC). The virus may promote DNA hypermethylation in GC, with phosphatidylinositol-4,5-Bisphosphate 3-kinase Catalytic Subunit alpha (PIK3CA) mutations. These mutations may lead to cell proliferation. Other pathways leading to tumor growth, induced by EBV, are Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) signaling. EBV-encoded microRNA (miRNA) clusters, including miR-BART-1 and − 2, are highly expressed and promote cell survival and immune evasion. In the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), B cells infected by EBV were found to deliver exosomes carrying miR-BART-15 to epithelial non-EBV-infected cells. The virus might utilize the same mechanism to deliver miR-BART-15 into gastric epithelial cells to inhibit the activation of the inflammasome nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 3 (NLRP3), thus mitigating the inflammatory antiviral responses. EBV evades immune recognition by overexpressing the co-inhibitors indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), Programmed Death-Ligand 1 and 2 (PD-L1 and PD-L2).

Viruses, bacteria and Cancer:
New review shows EBV, H. pylori, and SARS-CoV-2 fuel gut inflammation, disrupt immunity & genes, and raise cancer risk. More reasons to prevent infections.
