A former colleague set up a program pairing seniors (often living alone) with uni students looking for an affordable place to live… many developed lasting relationships and became a second family.
We need to look at more humane options that supports people in their homes ❤️
Back when I entered public health, this is exactly the kind of issues I would have addressed… now?
I’m not quite sure what public health is anymore, but there are significant gaps in public service, protection, & social determinants of health.
So thankful for advocates ❤️🙏👇

"Demand" for novovax wasn't "very low." Access was blocked.
When I've looked into Nova Scotia access, we had to a) not have any mRNA doses, so maybe 10-15% of NS was eligible? b) get to one of the few pharmacies that had it, all outside of Halifax (where about 1/3 of NS lives).

A paper from Harvard estimates the cost of Long Covid in the USA is now US$3.7 trillion, or about 17% of pre-Covid US GDP. They say it rivals the cost of the Great Depression.
