“I'm very concerned that our society is much more interested in information, than wonder. And noise, rather than silence. … [H]ow do we encourage reflection? … [O]h my, this is a noisy world.”

Reminder: Sweden never closed nurseries, pre-schools and primary schools during the Pandemic.

“Researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo and Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University said that they have developed a peptide that can bind to the spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 to prevent COVID-19 infections.” #LongCovid

The more I think about this, the more I think accounting practices related to such liabilities needs to change. Big swings in the deficit for reasons that have not yet occurred is … problematic. At the very least for the public understanding of public finances.

"You don't know it's COVID!"

2 weeks ago wastewater data concentrations of COVID-19 were between 15-50x higher than RSV, Influenza A&B.

With a new surge beginning these numbers are already much higher.

Flu A: ~10
Flu B: ~2.5
RSV: ~10
COVID: ~250 ⬅

25x more COVID than Flu A.

Not only when they had the chance, but when they promised to do it almost 10 years ago!

[Hanner @GangstHannah]

Explain why we can't still blame Covid when it's still running rampant in schools and every public place ever?

Vibes isn't a reason to dismiss the no.1 cause of death among children when it comes to infectious diseases.

Covid also causes brain damage. Stop with the denial ffs!!

UCP’s like “yeah we def can’t have wind turbines obstruct views but also let’s stick a giant huge tunnel through all of downtown, including through buildings that are already being built!”

[Dr. Luanne Metz @luanne_metz]

Albertans are asking for better from this Government.

Instead, the UCP insists that we should have the lowest minimum wage in the country.

If you are trying to compare SARS-CoV-2 to other viruses, you shouldn't. Al-Aly was skeptical of his own data. That one virus can cause this much mayhem all over the body. He kept running the data, and it always came back the same.

If Bernie's Social Security bill was signed into law in 2022, Elon Musk would have paid $2.9 billion more in taxes, no one making $250,000 or less would've paid a penny more in taxes, benefits would have gone up by $2,400 a year & Social Security would be solvent for 75 years.

Still have it in us. # 1 on Trip Advisor for Restaurants in Mississauga. Not bad by nearly 2000 in the City. #CleanAir definitely played a role in it.

We have a winner today.

I didn't really love Stephen Harper.

However, never once during his time in office did I hate Canada, cheer for it to fail, or wish the US would take us over.

They level of stupidity and fake patriotism is beyond comprehension.

One of the best reads of the year from @MattMcGorry

“The science is really clear getting Covid over & over again is not good for anyone. It feels like where the climate movement was 10 years ago, where scientists were saying things & people were not really listening.” #LongCovid

[tern @1goodtern]

In 2021 in England, public health decided that the way to get well was to get sicker, and that the way to get rid of disease was to catch it.
It's official policy.
They write it down and everything.

Since then...
