COVID-19 is airborne, and COVID particles can hang in the air for hours. It is still possible to stay safe at indoor gatherings.
For more information on proper ventilation, see our ventilation guidelines. For information on staying safe in everyday life, see our guidelines for individuals.

COVID SAFETY 101 (2023)
Covid (SARS-Cov-2) is short for severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2. The virus is airborne and neuroinvasive. It causes vascular
disease and dysregulates immune systems.
The pandemic is not over, the virus never became milder, and the government has continually lied about the threat.

COVID-19 epidemiology update: Current situation
Summary of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths, cases following vaccination, testing and variants of concern across Canada and over time. Older versions of this report are available on the archived reports page.
Comparative study showed that children faced a 78% higher risk of new-onset conditions after they had COVID-19
We compared 1656 exposed and 1656 unexposed children from 1 February 2020 to 30 November 2021. The overall excess risk for new-onset conditions after COVID-19 was 78% higher in the exposed than unexposed children. We found significantly higher risks for some new conditions in exposed children, including mental health issues (aHR 1.8, 95% CI 1.1–3.0) and neurological problems (aHR 2.4, 95% CI 1.4–4.1).
Conclusion
Exposed children had a 78% higher risk of developing new conditions of interest after COVID-19 than unexposed children.

Intranasal Trivalent MMS Vaccine
A next-generation intranasal trivalent MMS vaccine induces durable and broad protection against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern
There is an urgent need to develop a mucosal SARS-CoV-2 vaccine that can induce broad, durable protection. MMR has been one of the safest and most successful vaccines in human history. By expressing the six-proline-stabilized prefusion spikes from three diverse SARS-CoV-2 strains in the MeV, MuV-JL1, and MuV-JL2 vaccine strains from MMR, we generated a MMS trivalent vaccine candidate. Intranasally delivered MMS induced strong SARS-CoV-2-specific neutralizing antibody, mucosal IgA, and systemic and lung resident T cell immune responses that provide broad protection against challenge with each of these three strains. Therefore, MMS is a highly promising next-generation vaccine candidate against COVID-19. Furthermore, any of the three component vaccine viruses can be quickly modified when a new important SARS-CoV-2 variant appears.

Obtaining Health Care Safely in the Pandemicene
First, a caveat: this piece is long. There aren’t a lot of profound truths in the following paragraphs, but there is a lot of nitty-gritty advice along the lines of “If they do X, you say Y.” It’s gotta be granular, this time, because the devil is in the details. But as with any advice, some individual suggestions may or may not work for you. You may find some ideas helpful and others not, or find them helpful some of the time, but not always.
Accessing health care can be a very fraught enterprise, for a lot of reasons. Many people (including women, BIPOC, LGBTQ folks, people whose first language is not English, folks with disabilities or chronic illness, and those who are uninsured) are especially likely to find navigating the healthcare industry challenging because so many providers hold implicit biases that make it hard for patients to be heard and respected.

COVID Impacts: Home
While there have been many epidemics and pandemics throughout history, there has never been one that so rapidly and completely altered the dynamics of life on this planet as COVID-19. This LibGuide is an attempt to identify and highlight the monumental impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had and will continue to have on the world.

Covid is in the air
To inform and bring together elements allowing everyone to act in the context of an airborne virus epidemic.
The goal? Reduce epidemic circulation and allow everyone to reintegrate social life into correct safety conditions. We want to inform you of the airborne nature of the COVID-19 virus, and its consequences for everyone, act to ensure that essential places are accessible to as many people as possible and protect in particular the most vulnerable, and our children.

Jessica Wildfire, August 23, 2023
Earlier this year, politicians and news outlets tried once again to convince the public that the pandemic was over and that Covid had turned into the flu. They were wrong. Over the coming weeks and months, we’re going to find out just how wrong they were.
Highly mutated forms of Covid are showing up all over the world. Some Covid minimizers are backtracking while others are doubling and tripling down on the same old lies.
Life, Health & the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic
We live in the dual catastrophe of a viral pandemic, and a pandemic of misinformation. The latter
makes the former strangely invisible. Harms caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus are routinely minimized
to the point that many people believe the infection is ‘mild’ and our world is ‘post-pandemic.’
In here I raise the alarms…

Impact of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Prevention Measures on Non-SARS-CoV-2 Hospital-Onset Respiratory Viral Infections: An Incidence Trend Analysis From 2015–2023
We reviewed hospital-onset respiratory viral infections, 2015–2023, in one hospital to determine whether Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission prevention measures prevented non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory viral infections. Masking, employee symptom attestations, and screening patients and visitors for symptoms were associated with a 44%–53% reduction in hospital-onset influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), accounting for changes in community incidence.
