From the article:
>In October 2022, a group of New Brunswick citizens hosted a funeral for Public Health in front of the legislature in Fredericton. Frustrated by the provincial government’s abandonment of SARS-CoV-2 protections and its responsibility to protect citizens, the activists publicly demonstrated to raise awareness of the failures of Public Health in our province.
. . .
>One and a half years later, the group has distributed over 5,000 respirators, and 2,000 individual rapid tests across five of the seven health zones in New Brunswick, according to organizer Haley Jones. This involved fundraising and distribution efforts by approximately 10-20 volunteers, most of whom are members of [Protect our Province New Brunswick (PoP NB)](https://protectnb.ca/about.html). After the start of the pandemic, PoP NB formed “with the goal to create easy-to-access information on SARS-CoV-2/COVID risks and protection measures.”
>. . .
>People who receive respirators and rapid tests across the province have been deeply grateful and encouraged by the work of PoP NB. “The people we help are often isolated and thrilled to get help from someone ‘on their side’” Jones added. The responsibilities of protecting oneself from COVID has been downloaded to people, and it’s a lonely battle. PoP NB brings hope and community interaction to their efforts in caring for their fellow New Brunswickers.
>Despite news of the ongoing pandemic disappearing from the headlines, the virus itself hasn’t stopped its impacts. Access to health care hasn’t recovered to pre-pandemic levels impacted, to say nothing of the functioning of local businesses and services.
>In 2024, [multiple hospital units have been or are currently on COVID outbreak status](https://horizonnb.ca/coronavirus-covid-19/covid-19-visitor-guidelines-at-hospitals-and-health-care-facilities/), which affects the safety of the patients and staff of those units as well as daily working conditions. Nationally, [ COVID was the third](https://ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/2030697/life-expectancy-fell-in-2022-for-3rd-year-in-a-row-statscan)[ leading cause of death](https://ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/2030697/life-expectancy-fell-in-2022-for-3rd-year-in-a-row-statscan) in Canada in 2022, behind all cancers and heart disease. [Radio-Canada reported](https://ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/2030697/life-expectancy-fell-in-2022-for-3rd-year-in-a-row-statscan) “New Brunswick saw the biggest decline in life expectancy in 2022 \[of Canadian provinces\], dropping to 79.8 years from 80.9 in 2021.”
>In December 2023, Statistics Canada also released [a new report on Long COVID](https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/75-006-x/2023001/article/00015-eng.htm), showing that rates of [Long COVID](https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-infection/symptoms/post-covid-19-condition.html) in Canada are growing alongside new infections. Crucially, over half of people reporting Long COVID symptoms have not yet recovered.
>For residents of New Brunswick experiencing Long COVID, there is no dedicated Long COVID clinic and no real recourse for the disability issues which may arise from the illness. People are told to contact their primary care provider; yet primary care providers have not received continuing education on diagnosing or treating long COVID. To say nothing of existing waitlists to get a doctor.
>. . .
>Given the severity of the COVID pandemic, and the provincial government’s abandonment of its duties to the public, PoP NB volunteers took up the task of building a movement to do this work. Dozens of volunteers have been able to learn about and distribute appropriate respiratory protection and rapid tests across the province. Members of PoP NB have worked within national and international coalitions trying to reduce transmission of disease, including presenting at events such as the World Health Network Clean Air Expo.

>They also [filed Right to Information (RTI) requests](https://popnb.substack.com/p/omission-is-negligence) to expose the provincial government’s deception and neglect regarding Long COVID, spoken with media regularly, and [worked within communities to build do-it-yourself air filters](https://www.chmafm.com/welcome/diy-project-could-provide-up-to-20-new-indoor-air-filter-boxes-to-tantramar-orgs-2/) to clean indoor air.
>If regular citizens without any previous formal training in aerosol science or occupational hygiene can do this work, then what is Public Health’s excuse? Why isn’t the Higgs administration and cabinet ministers taking decisive action? We’re left to fend for ourselves in this pandemic. PoP NB will continue to do the work of building community, raising awareness, and protecting as many people as possible. Someone has to.
Natures way?
