@MrTheposter @Naomi_D_Harvey @drclairetaylor @tessfalor @IsabelRamirezRD I’m on week 5 post covid and spent most of the last few weeks resting. I feel like if I sit at my computer working for an hour or 2 my whole body feels shaky. Any idea what I can do to get past this feeling? Am I just being impatient?

@hib343434 I have replaced a couple of LVP pieces in my home due to an accident with a razor blade. Just lifted them out and put 2 new pieces in. Haven’t had any issues with ours in 1.5 years

@UnPersonFiles @DrNeilStone It doesn’t mean the release of the virus didn’t occur in the summer or fall of 2019. December is when it was admitted that something was spreading

[Sandy @SandyW007]

@DrNeilStone Can I go back a week and answer this? 😢

@KiraBrook @AdvancedTweaker Very expensive to get Paxlovid here.. used to be free. Maybe still is for the elderly, not sure

[Sandy @SandyW007]

@DonEford Had mild fever for 3-4 days and sinus congestion. Used netipot for the first few days. Only used enovid/virx a couple times but after reading this probably should have used more. Just looking for ideas. We’re too young for paxlovid and you say you’re not recommending it anyway..

@DonEford I’m on day 6 of 1st cvd. I mask indoors and rarely leave home so makes sense right 😢 i have isolated from hubby since symptoms started but I sense he’s showing signs. We’re taking C,D, magnesium, zinc, lysine, curcumin and he just bought elderberry. Nova 3 mths ago and 8 mths b4

@etakla1 @timheuer Perhaps you should attend the cyber class so you can learn instead of treating it like punishment.

Ty to whoever made this.

@dipbrat70 @kylejhutton I have the luxury to afford to pay $200 USD in Niagara Falls,NY. My friend on ODSP with a severe allergy to MRNA doesn’t.
Covid is so prolific right now and vaccination rates fell off a cliff and no masks anywhere including in hospitals. Shame on our public health institutions

[Sandy @SandyW007]

@dipbrat70 @kylejhutton Novavax is a covid vaccine that isn’t mRNA and some suggest it is better and longer lasting. It also has virtually no side effects and was an option for people with adverse reactions to MRNA. I have had it a few times. Last formula not a single pharmacy could carry in Canada

@llchristyll This is an IT failure. Completely preventable

[Sandy @SandyW007]

@twentytwoloops I have covid for the first time. Always mask indoors. Let my guard down for Christmas asking family if they are healthy. Thing is they all are. I don’t know where I got it. Think I need to switch to n95 from kn95 even in lesser risk situations :/

@CollinJHumphrey 1, I put in large windows in many rooms but have limited wall space for art and furniture
2. Install electrical outlets behind your toilets for a bidet
3. We had the land so we have just one story and no stairs for aging in place
4. Learned I am not a fan of tankless heaters

IMO a diagnostic criterion for autism should be “Have you experienced a lifelong pattern of people hating you without being able to cite actual examples of wrongdoing on your part?”

@KashPrime Don Ford tweeted recently about the RSV vaccine not being as effective as expected. Not sure if you saw.

We live in a bizarro world now. Everyone seems to have gone back to normal, even as those of us who’ve learned hard lessons over the past five years keep coping with the reality that things aren’t normal—especially for people with Long Covid and chronic conditions. Those of us who continue to take precautions against airborne pathogens feel increasingly forgotten, invisible in a society that’s moved on.

I guess it makes sense that I see this through the lens of teaching. Teaching is woven into my DNA. I’m the child of a third-grade teacher and a school psychologist. Their friends were teachers and psychologists. Even my neighbor Rob went back to school to become a teacher. My uncle Greg was a part-time tennis instructor who also worked at a vocational school. I was a full-time student, got my PhD in Education and then I married into a family of educators. So much of my life has revolved around education, and not just in a career sense—it’s a mindset. It’s about seeing potential and wanting to help people reach it.

When I’m on a tennis court, that mindset takes over. I want to help the child having their first lesson, the tough guy blasting the ball out of bounds, the older woman with great strokes but no court awareness, or the high school star who’s just a couple of tweaks away from being amazing. I have to fight the urge to step in. It’s not my place, and I know that. But the urge is so strong it feels almost like compulsion. My whole being wants to level people up, whether it’s tennis, martial arts, juggling, or just life in general.

The best teacher I ever had said, "You never truly master anything until you teach it." And even then, no one ever masters teaching. That’s stuck with me because it’s so true. But lately, teaching—helping—feels impossible.

Imagine being on that tennis court, knowing exactly why someone’s game isn’t improving. But they don’t want to hear it. They don’t want to learn or reflect or change. They just keep coming to the lesson week after week, making zero progress, swinging the same bad strokes the same bad way. No matter what you say—or don’t say—they refuse to adapt.

That’s how it feels to those of us still paying attention to the airborne pandemic. We know why so many people are sick. We know what could help prevent further illness. But people don’t want to know. They just want to keep going, doing things the way they’ve always done them.

So we’ve shut down. We haven’t given up—we’re still taking precautions, still trying to protect ourselves and others—but the urge to teach, to help, feels hollow now. After five years, it’s hard to keep looking out at a world that seems so resistant to learning anything at all.

“Many commentators have claimed that a recently-updated Cochrane Review shows that 'masks don't work', which is an inaccurate and misleading interpretation.”

John Diefenbaker canceled the Avro Arrow program to appease the Americans. Our aviation industry never recovered.

Brian Mulroney brought in corporate mobility (free trade), and corporations said thank you and offshored their industries. He privatized more than 20 crown...
