Subjects I’m angry about include: BC’s failed COVID response, mistreatment of educators, the housing affordability crisis, and the fact that pizza has calories.
I’m on Spoutible & Mastodon - same username. Thinking Elon’s latest “pay for basic security features” bullshit will probably be what gets me to leave Twitter for good.
Annnnnd now my sweet baby is sick. I feel like I failed her.
Fuck this dystopian nightmare we’re living in. And a big F U to everyone who thinks brunch/travel/other dumb consumerist shit is more important than our health.
Anybody know what tests one would ask a doctor for post-covid to check for complications? I know a d-dimer would be good but otherwise I’m unsure what to ask for. Preparing for when my husband is on the mend.
My husband just tested positive for c*vid for the first time. I’m absolutely losing my mind with worry, and anger, and all the things. Hoping against hope we were quick enough to stop it with him and spare my daughter & mom, but I’m not optimistic. Words of comfort/advice welcome
@ratio_verrueckt@everesists Yes I do still have the cartridge. When I looked at it (admittedly not that closely) before inserting I didn’t immediately notice any bubbles.
@ratio_verrueckt@everesists I don’t have a screenshot, unfortunately. It was a yellow channel and it curved upward looking exponential for a short time and then levelled off to flat. It was just one channel like this, all others were minor bumps/overall flat.
@ratio_verrueckt@everesists Hi! I just used my device for the first time and used the app but I’m not sure what I’m looking at. Should I be worried if one of the channels (other than the control) shows growth? Appreciate any help you can provide!
Any #PlusLife users able to help interpret results via the Virussucks app? I had a result that was negative on the device but 1 of the channels besides the control had a burst of exponential growth then levelled off. I’m worried about a weak/early positive. Any help appreciated!
@NjbBari3 Dr. Bari I know this is serious & I’m sorry your family members are sick… but to add just a teeny bit of levity, your tweet has introduced me to the term “chundering” & I’m both disgusted and amused. Not something I’ve heard in Canada!
@frozen She makes my blood boil. Evil dressed up in soft giggles and Fluevogs.
Can’t risk telling people the truth - they might panic! And we all know panic is worth than mass death & disability.
To protect your family and help reduce your risk of getting or spreading respiratory viruses like the #flu, #RSV or #Covid19 this fall season, use personal protective measures like wearing a mask, improving indoor ventilation and cleaning hands regularly. https://t.co/jEbiuddkrg
Yearly reminder that the USA publicly mourns the approx 2000 people lost on 9/11 while simultaneously ignoring the millions lost to Covid (& continuing to be complicit in more deaths).
Guess it’s only important to remember folks when you can use their loss to justify war.
Leader of “Take Back Alberta” with absolutely no delusions of grandeur having a perfectly normal day.
(Also we never had lockdowns, we had a series of inconveniences that were implemented to mitigate the effects of a global disaster, not saying just saying)

We masked in oncology for decades … until now. Because we’ve gone backwards in infection control. Imagine being able to do all of the things we can do to treat cancer and piss it away like this.
People who resist public health measures during a deadly pandemic are not heroes. Goons who threaten healthcare workers and people who wear masks are not freedom fighters. The terrorists who occupied Ottawa in Feb. 2022 & threatened to overthrow the gov't were not patriots.
SAR-CoV-2 damages kids' blood vessels.
"Children infected with SARS-CoV-2 show elevated levels of a biomarker tied to blood vessel damage. Many examined children testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 are being diagnosed with thrombotic microangiopathy."
