Remembering 2020, at the beginning of COVID, pre-vaccine, after my kidney transplant when I would be asked to remove my N99 respirator and replace it with a surgical mask which meets no standards at all, not even for the things it is designed for (droplets)

"Earth receive an honoured guest" -WHAuden "He just cared about people& it was the big things with the search &rescue,but it was also just like the little things,” Fuller said. From helping strangers to taking care of his family, Coyle showed up &never complained" www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I thought universality was a core principle of the Canada Health Act.

"Condolences poured in on Monday, remembering Coyle for his kindness, leadership, and dedication to helping others. "He gave countless hours to supporting families, raising awareness, advocating for change, and improving the response for vulnerable missing adults" www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I wonder What the data shows if one compares sars2 infections caught during recovery of day procedures with infections caught after surgeries requiring overnight hospital stays. I'm assuming sars2 is not caught during the procedure but in recovery ward after

This stat is unconscionable. There is no excuse to not do everything they can to prevent a sars2 infection. I mean they are extremely careful to prevent bacterial infection of the surgical site. Why compromise that care by infecting the patient in the recovery ward?

People sick enough to be in hospital and catch Covid are more likely to die within 30 days than people who are not as sick, not in hospital, and catch Covid Nosocomial —————- 🚫

"When COVID-19 is caught in hospital, the risk doesn’t end with infection" A new study found patients who caught COVID-19 in hospital were more likely to die within 30 days than those infected in the community. Outcomes improved over time, but hospital-acquired COVID still carried a higher risk.

No air quality measurements!Zero CO2 or PM2.5 monitoring in any room, intervention or control. So unable to determine if the results means “filtration doesn’t reduce infection” or “the air purifiers never meaningfully cleaned the air.” Why do this study without measuring these critical metrics??

Analysis: Many Black US patients with long COVID being missed. A new study suggests that a diagnostic disparity exists between Black and White patients, despite having similar long-COVID symptom profiles. Read more: https://bit.ly/4yDq9tb

Yes. Norovirus is airborne. Every disease attributed to droplet is actually misunderstood aerosol transmission. This has been made clear to ID field & public health, notably in UK COVID Inquiry Module 3 Report. It's criminal they keep denying airborne transmission. bsky.app/profile/bean...

That sounds like a *good* temporary use of AI: a live demo of it generating BS!!

Students are handing in LLM homework too. & how many emails are now not even written by the sender? I have never used AI to write a lesson, a worksheet or an email.

It's not just the US. The UK is cutting science. Canada is cutting science. No one is cutting transfer of public wealth to big tech and fossil fuel companies though.

Dear Sylvia, I'm so sorry for your loss. I learned so much from him & followed his public journey as an advocate for SAR, covid safety. I read about his athletic adventures with family with interest. And now I feel saddened by the loss of such an amazing person

This is Mike's partner Sylvia Fuller - I am so sorry to say that Mike was found unresponsive while mountain biking yesterday and died despite the best efforts of other riders and Squamish EMS. Thank you to Squamish Search and Rescue for carrying him out and taking care of our dog. We are shattered

Canada on fire. Top notch data visualization by CBC graphics.

But at least our kids and grandkids will be able to take comfort - as they watch their homes burn, and travel, coughing on the acrid smoke, onwards to the next evacuation camp - in the fact that we spent vast sums of public money on brand new, state-of-the-art, er…. pipelines? 🤔
