When you hear it said
that the approaching
“mega El Niño”
may well be similar
to the devastating El Niño
of 1877,
you should know
that we are ready,
yes, at this point, you should know
that we are very ready,
yes, we are ready to ignore
mass death and suffering.
According to recent reports
“Oysters, clams
from certain Washington
harvest areas
recalled because of norovirus,”
which is a reminder,
which is yet another reminder,
that this
is not an era of plague,
but an era of plagues.
Mask vending machine at JFK
So great to see JFK airport still has mask vending machines, which have 3M Auras!
I saw a headline
which alarmingly noted:
“Urgent warning
of long Covid symptoms
as number of cases
rise in UK,”
but here, across the pond,
things are quite different,
yes, here we know
that the way to avoid
a rising number of cases
is to just stop counting them.
🤬😫🤬😫
At the meeting he apologized
for having forgotten my name
but he noted that he knew
we had met before,
because he remembered
that I still wear a mask,
and though I wanted to say
that I was pleased to hear
I had made a good impression,
instead: I just told him my name.

The long and costly shadow of COVID-19 continues to haunt us. The pandemic will have an impact on our economic and personal health for years to come, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/0fc7a92... via @theglobeandmail.com
People, organizations, & institutions that are unwilling or unable to acknowledge your experience, feelings, & needs are not serious about being part of your trauma recovery.
You will not have to beg or scramble for validation from your real recovery supports.
WATCH: Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.
Recent analysis finds:
“the number
of competitive grants
awarded by
the National Institutes of Health
is down by more than half
compared with
the same period last year,”
and though it’s true
that funding NIH grants
is expensive,
not funding them
will cost us even more.
People keep telling me
they are worried
that during
the pandemic
far too many people
lost it.
And
I keep telling people
I am worried
that during
this ongoing pandemic
far too many people
caught it.
Xu Zou @×z_keg X.com In South Korea, BA.3.2 slowly increases its share from 0% to 20% from 2025.12 to the first half of 2026.3, and bursts out to 65% in a sudden for sequences sampled during the second half of 2026.3. Then a graph showing a an upward curve.
Hope everyone enjoys not seeing sunrise until 9:30 in December.
Why the hell do politicians never ever listen to science even on slam dunk things.
Getting rid of the change is great.
Permanent DST is a bad idea and there's lots of research to back out up.
I've discovered a new use for the Redimask. The opticians.
If I want to buy glasses for use at home (without a mask), then standard masks don't work very well because the pupillary height is off. Redimask sits much lower, and so you get a more natural fit.

Tuberculosis Outbreaks in Nunavik, Quebec Worsening While Province Ignores Calls to Declare Public Health Emergency
New research finds lack of resources, language barriers persist in this Inuit region, where Red Cross has been called to help with TB

Tons of research since 2020 points to Covid causing cognitive decline, affecting memory, attention, and executive function. It’s criminal that schools don’t clean the air and it’s negligent of public health to have led everyone to believe Covid is just a cold when it’s causing so much damage 🧵👇
If you are receiving treatment cancer, wear a high quality respirator.
If you may be in contact with someone who is in treatment for cancer, wear a respirator.
If you don’t have access to the detailed medical history of the person next to you, wear a respirator.
If you’d like to avoid cancer…

I once lived in a city.
Long before, it was destroyed in a war.
The government kept this a secret.
That would be harder now, but I'm interested in why people just “don't talk” about important ideas.
#CovidIsNotOver
Life During Wartime (Talking Heads / David Byrne cover)
“Medical institutions must educate staff that Long COVID is a disabling condition affecting up to 40% of healthcare workers who contracted and continue to contract COVID-19 while working in hospitals that have failed to control the spread of the virus and other pathogens.”
THE VIRUS DIDN'T DISAPPEAR, THE SUPPORT DID.
Looking at you, @vanislandhealth.bsky.social.
We have a case study in (with an overdue response) regarding their denial of home care supports)/failure to fit-test in home workers.
Failure to protect the clinically vulnerable isn't #PatientSafety.

And point out the reason provinces don't order enough vaccines is that they're using an economic model from PHAC that 👉forgot to include the fact that you can get #longCOVID without needing medical attention for the initial COVID infection👈.
Health policy is sloppier than a hat made out of Jell-O.
I’m sure that patients stuck in hospital hallways without beds, waiting dangerously long for surgeries, are relieved that our Premier has a private jet.

It’s heartbreaking that around 200 children have died from Covid in the UK and most since 2022!
No protection from airborne transmission.
Poor or no vaccine access.
Told they were anxious about real health risks!
Listen:
if you keep trying,
one of these weeks
you’ll find the right words,
you’ll find the right deeds,
to convince people
that they need
to take care of each other.
It might even be next week,
if you keep trying,
so keep trying,
please, my friend, keep trying.
