@joaquinlife Meanwhile, here’s a lengthy thread that explains precisely why this policy is monstrous.

Wow... this is actually real. Reinfection is SARS-2 Policy in the U.S.

"Dr. Anthony Leonardi [@fitterhappierAJ} is a lightning rod for debate. If he’s right, this pandemic poses a greater threat than widely assumed."

And all the indications are currently that he is right. All of them. Please read this article. And share it.

Dear Friends,

I know this wave, Wave 8, seems like the same old same old but this time it's different.

How long is Covid infectious and what's the best way to track it that correlates with culture positivity?
"Most adults have replication-competent #SARSCoV2 for 10-14 after symptom onset, and N antigen testing is a strong predictor of viral infectiousness"

Some personal observations on the characteristics of people I know who are continuing to take as much care as possible to not get Covid (in no particular order): a short 🧵

1. High impulse control
2. Personal experience of serious illness
3. Strong internal locus of control

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

Wish this was true. What's over is @POTUS's and our government's will to get ahead of it, with magical thinking on the new bivalent boosters. Ignores #LongCovid, inevitability of new variants, and our current incapability for blocking infections and transmission

[Colin Furness MISt PhD MPH @FurnessColin]

Public Health leadership has switched from protecting health to pacifying the public by minimizing knowledge. It's appalling, IMO.

To a large degree, mainstream media has gone right along with it. Also appalling, IMO.

The @ongov actions to fix the ailing HC system so far:
-have COVID+ individuals return to work/school
-send frail elders needing LTC far from home w/o public debate
-continue to pay private agencies a premium to staff public hospitals
-consider further privatization

[Jess @MeetJess]

Two large phase-3 trials of Novavax's Covid-19 vaccine show high levels of protection against infection⚠️

President of Research at Novavax, claimed the vaccine will work against "yesterday's, today's, & most importantly, tomorrow's strains of coronavirus" https://t.co/2MPLTCRo6O

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

The booster we really need right now is to block infections and transmission

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

Never forget that the goal of privatized healthcare is to provide profits for shareholders. Meanwhile, the goal of public healthcare is to provide healthcare for people.

Which one do you think is best suited to improve the health of Canadians?

[Lindsay Stamp @lindsaystamp05]

Confirming our worst fears, since early days of #Covid an explosion of for-profit providers have been awarded HC delivery "partnerships" by @fordnation, paid for by OHIP & bleeding funding from the public system.
It's no wonder mandate letters are hidden. https://t.co/cYYJB7JjdO

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

The BA.5 vaccine trial hasn't even started yet @Pfizer @BioNTech_Group, so the September date that has been touted for that booster is unrealistic https://t.co/TAFoxggKmm by @hannahkuchler @FT

[G McThink @redsnoopy69]

Who destroyed Canada's aerospace industry?
Who sold off Connaught Laboratories?
Who sold AECL to SNC?
The Canadian Wheat Board to Saudi Arabia?
The 407?
The same people want to privatize Healthcare and Education.
Conservatives selling Canada piece by piece.
It's what they do.
