“Parking is a government-mandated tax on new housing and small businesses that we want, and the result that we get from it is more pavement, more air pollution, more tire dust, 6PPDQ pollution, and we know that it drives more traffic” https://www.theurbanist.org/2025/06/06/bremerton-becomes-latest-washington-city-to-ditch-parking-mandates/ #Bremerton #ParkingReform #housing #CleanAir

Spotted this cool Canadian-made air purifier: North Box Systems builds quiet, energy-efficient units using PC fans + MERV-13 filters. Think: Corsi-Rosenthal box, but sleeker. Great for wildfire smoke & allergens.

Advocacy alert Right now, BC is deciding what to spend money on in 2026 - and we need YOUR help getting key health priorities into the #BCBudget !

The province is asking British Columbians for our ideas for Budget 2026. We think they should include things like:
#CleanAir measures
Vaccine access including #Novavax
N95s and tests
Better care for #LongCovid (and other complex chronic illnesses)

Join us to help make it happen! You can submit your budget ideas til Friday, June 20 at 2 pm - and we even have some template answers to make it easier: https://donoharmbc.ca/bc-government-2026-budget-consultation/

We’ve seen before that advocacy makes a difference. In 2024, DoNoHarm BC’s budget campaign resulted in a commitment of over $3 billion in continued pandemic funding!

Let’s call on B.C. gov to put their money where their mouth is, when it comes to supporting the health of all British Columbians.

The mystery rise of lung cancer in non-smokers

Lung cancer doesn't only affect smokers. As the number of smokers is declining, the proportion of lung cancer cases occurring in people who have never smoked is increasing. This type of cancer differs from that of smokers. And female non-smokers are twice as likely to develop it as men who never smoked. So, what causes it? I explored this topic in my piece for BBC Future.

Liebe #CovidCautious Bubble in #Hamburg

Gibt es hier Bedarf an FFP2-Masken (ich meine, diese hier https://ffp2-germany.com/produkt/ffp2-maske-made-in-germany-ce0158/ ) und Covidtests?

In meinem Umfeld löst ein Unternehmen seine Vorräte auf*. Haltbarkeit meines Wissens bis 2027. Nicht das #FuckOffice, dessen Restbestände uns erst nach Ablauf der Daten angeboten wurden

Vielleicht kann das jemanden von Euch ein bisschen finanziell entlasten?

The number of ME patients, those suffering from chronic fatigue and other symptoms, living in Aotearoa may have doubled in recent years, according to ME Society (ANZMES) estimates:
"Emerging studies point to a trend where a large subset of people with persisting Long Covid may be developing ME. Overseas estimates suggest a sky-rocketing of new ME cases since the pandemic began, but the picture in Aotearoa is not yet clear and may differ in light of our initially low Covid spread. It’s crucial to remember that Covid hasn’t gone away. New Zealanders are still getting infected each week – wastewater testing last week showed the highest Covid levels all year – and every new infection carries a risk of #LongCovid."

"The pandemic could only compound the price tag. Researchers here think Long Covid might cost us about $2 billion annually – 0.5% of GDP – in lost productivity. Recent modelling from Germany put the combined cost, for both Long Covid and ME, at 1.5% of GDP in 2024."

Hey, govt that apparently cares so much about the economy, how about you do something about the increasing loss in productivity?!

We want wider access to vaccines and anti-virals, we want safe healthcare (#yallmasking?) and #CleanAir in schools and daycare.

This an excellent interview with Dr Amanda Kvalsvig on the importance of clean air in schools, the fact that #CovidIsNotOver and the need for an ongoing preventive response in public health.
Particularly entering winter and what looks to be yet another covid surge.
