I’m thinking about getting a blast freezer. I’ve finished batch cooking for the week ahead, and it’s 1 am… and I’m waiting for the food to cool. Ugh…

So at the beginning of the pandemic I said it would take about 5-7 years for people to figure stuff out using heuristic learning methods. I am a crystal ball.

A couple of years ago, but I turned it off as it was always going off ... I suppose I should turn it on again as the eldest will be here next week & she'll want to go swimming (no netted beaches down here) ... was horrified the other day by kids swimming in the local river just after the rain🙄🙅‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Freedom and democracy are for the brave and resilient. Resilience means being able to weather storms without losing the national identity of a free and fair society. Closing up like a hard shell, gripping like a vice, shutting down the conversation… that’s authoritarianism.

🤷🏻‍♀️

Cheaper to #CleantheAir and tell those who are sick to stay home. We always used to do this in schools. www.irishnews.com/news/norther...

Maybe BBC presenters would like to work for free. That’s exactly what you are suggesting creatives should do by debating our copyright!

Athletes routinely abstain from alcohol, refined sugar, or other foods and drinks to try to give themselves an edge. Endurance athletes monitor all kinds of health stats through wearables and they have noticed the impacts covid has on resting HR and HRV for example.

Wearing masks and avoiding indoor crowds before a major globally broadcast competition are hardly 'extreme measures' when it protects an athlete's career from being sidelined by a virus

So annoying. I was just putting gloves on to do some washing up when I had to drop everything and take to social media to fight maladaptive brainwashing. Now I’m hungry and sleepy and the dishes aren’t done. Grrrrrr.

“Health anxiety” seems more like capitalist gaslighting that we are ridiculous to want quality of life, ability to work + financial security, and robust social safety nets that help us when we are sick or disabled

I’ve been following the Nipah outbreak. For now, I feel that authorities are managing it well, and it seems contained. That is fact based reassurance.. It’s very concerning for all those waiting out their isolation periods, and my thoughts are with them, and all who care for them.

Doesn’t that feel better? I didn’t tell you that you were anxious. I gave you the facts and empowered you to be able to respond to the news in a proportional and practical way.

On “BBC health check” Apparently we are “post pandemic” and “health anxious” because we are noticing things like the recent hMPV outbreaks… 1) bugs are behaving differently for various reasons, so we should notice that, & 2) The repetition of saying we have health anxiety can’t be good for us.

The constant discourse on Twitter / X that 'masks don't work' is just tedious. While I never discount the possibility that I may have had an asymptomatic infection, the simple fact is that I haven't been sick once since early 2019. After numerous *confirmed* exposures. FFP2/3 works. The end.

Fixed it….

I’d just like to say again. Studies re COVID-19 published in 2020 clearly stated that deposition patterns consistent with aerosol spread was happening in hospitals. They were finding positive samples for RNA in air ducts, on windows, under beds. They did not match the advice to the findings…

This is absolutely heartbreaking. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

health condition). Many of us don’t eat out anymore. Interestingly when I went on holiday last year and requested an outdoor table, I was told ‘so many people are requesting this but we have a lot of staff off sick so have stopped serving outside’. Many are not aware COVID is airborne and

Oh the irony…

Too many posts arguing about how old victims of abuse are, and what might be “okay”. Trafficking an adult into slavery is not okay… hope that gives some people a place to start. 🤦🏻‍♀️

It's a political choice not to engage with the harms of Covid. But it's not a sensible choice for health and the economy.

"... employers making accomodations for people with disabilities." You missed out "not" ... or "refusing to" ... Their responses (mostly) seem to come down to "yes, that's something we must look at" ... time (weeks/months/years/decades/millennia/planet formation) passes ... crickets

“Quietly sleepwalking into worklessness”. No. This is what “taking it on the chin” looks like. An economy with a broken jaw. #PlagueIsland.

I knew it! I remember watching the news and thinking this was going to create chaos. We've been paying attention while everyone else decided eating in restaurants was more important than staying alive. The opportunists took advantage of the pandemic, and it's been downhill ever since.

Many, very smart people have talked about the connection between the Spanish flu and the holocaust…it’s actually chilling how we truly are repeating everything word by word. Every day is terrifying in this country.

I see we are at the “build giant prisons” and “prepare to execute lots of prisoners” stage of the “let’s repeat history” game. Won’t be long before we are constructing more cost effective methods to execute prisoners en masse.

Yes, surprised at this too. Then further down they say the best thing you can do is wash your hands…

Just to add 3) to those very important points: waiting rooms (at least in doctor's offices) also tend to have really high CO2-levels at least in the data recorded so far in the indoorco2map project - which is heavily skewed towards german and austrian locations.

Thank you. It's absolutely infuriating the way public health is being abandoned. "Please, sir, could we clean the air?" "LOL NO" I think about Dr Semmelweis a lot. Like, a LOT a lot.

ER is the only place I've been in where I am told to remove my respirator "if I am not sick"... hum, that is the point of my wearing a respirator in the ER 🤔

Is "infection control" basically just astrology?

Waiting rooms aren’t riskier than any other crowded environment…? I can’t stop laughing. Of course they are. You have two groups of people in the waiting room. montrealgazette.com/news/local-n...

"Study shows impaired energy metabolism in the brains of people with post-COVID" Brain fog, poor concentration and slowed thinking in Long COVID patients are linked to altered brain energy metabolism, with MRI studies showing changes that correlate with worse cognitive test performance.

Just reading about the fall of an empire due to plague… In case you were under any illusions as to how disease and irresponsible leadership can destroy a nation or empire.

"Olympians who got COVID in 2022 are using masks, sanitizer and vitamins for the Milan Games" “We have certain B vitamins, vitamin C, that kind of stuff, that’s cleared with the (U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee), that we take. Anything that will keep me from getting sick" - Amber Glenn

Information that you may find useful. The Maghreb prayer which occurs after sunset has a very short period of time before it is considered “late”. Depending on where you are in the world, that time may vary. For this reason it is usually completed as soon as possible.

Had a ‘Fast & Furious’ moment with Kid during the driving lesson. He confused the brake and pressed hard on the accelerator while reversing on a curve in an open area. “BRAKE! BRAKE! BRAKE! BRAKE!” He did eventually find the brake

I was passing through border security a long time ago, and had to dispose of home cooked baby food. The comment from the person chucking it out… “Why are you cooking pasta for your kid? You aren’t Italian?” “It’s very difficult to get the timing of the Yorkshire pudding right for a flight?”

Some kids transferred from one school to another. Word got back. “Someone wears a a good mask full-time here too!” #OneOfTheTwo 😷

Finally out of the hospital and got a new feeding tube (PEG tube). Success

“When one xyz person is hurt, all xyz people feel it.” On radio. Erm… actually, in a healthy multicultural society the abc and the efg, and the pqr people feel it too… because we aren’t psychopaths.

In Dhaka, co-infected patients had a 4.1-fold higher risk of severe or very severe disease than those with COVID-19 alone (adjusted OR 4.12, 95% CI 3.05–5.54), often presenting acute cardiac injury (32%), acute kidney injury (49%), and cognitive impairment (22%) (15).

Is the “Kindy cold” normal… Topic of abc radio Sydney today. 😱 All those parents that were told that years of suffering illness in preschool would “make them ready for school”, “build their immunity” and other 🐂 💩.

Not me trying to vent to my mom and she’s like “you realize you work in an EMERGENCY room right” no shit?? I’ve worked in the most dark/disturbing parts of healthcare for 8 years, I see multiple deaths/traumas/violent situations a week I’m allowed to be bothered by some cases!! I’m a person, lol

In some countries, being infected with measles or chickenpox and mpox at the same time occurs fairly frequently. If we let diseases rip in rich countries, this will happen even more, and those countries are investing whatever they have to try and stop it… Because it’s killing children.
