About 10% of my #cdnpse students told me they were sick with COVID in Sept. I don’t ask for this info, so likely more. Half of cases are asymptomatic. So, it’s reasonable to guess 1/4-1/3 had COVID in Sept. Re StatsCan, 16.7% will get Long COVID & 21.7% of those will feel negative effects often. 1/2

.3x.167x.217= about 1.1%, per surge, 3-4 times a year. Yet profs are told nothing about how to protect or support them. Nothing. Even if it’s “just” 1%/year, the cost—in quality of life, education, financial losses—is staggering. #unconscionablehealth-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/pos...) 2/2

50% of my partner's lab is either acutely sick or dealing with prolonged effects of a prior illness. We all know the culprit.
