@gladiatorinpink @sbregman87 @USAGym Yup - if this is covid, the whole team is at risk. Fatigue and GI issues are symptoms of the most dominant strains. Hard to perform at your best if you're wiped from fatigue and can't eat...

This has got to be one of the worst healthcare decisions I have ever seen. Especially with H5N1 looming…
Pretending Covid isn’t still killing and disabling en masse doesn’t make it magically stop.

Deeply disappointed to learn that funding has been cancelled for the wastewater surveillance program in Ontario.
This has been critical information not only for COVID-19, but other infectious disease threats (Influenza, RSV, MPox, Polio & now H5N1) in Ontario.

Ugh. Okay everyone, confirmed measles in Mississauga. Measles has an incubation period of 7-21 days. A room where someone with measles has been remains infectious for up to two hours after they've left.

Please take these potential exposures seriously and click through.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

The bare minimum we should have learned from a devastating pandemic that has killed and disabled millions is that we should stay home when we are sick. Yet, governments beholden to corporate interests are determined to make sure we don't even do that.

[Hadiya Roderique @hadiyaroderique]

The institutions meant to protect our public health are prioritizing profits and capital instead. 1-day Covid isolation goes against literally all the science. What’s next - 1-day for measles too?

[Mike Hoerger, PhD MSCR MBA @michael_hoerger]

Any suggestion of a national Covid 1-day isolation policy is a catastrophic misinterpretation of medical evidence that will severely harm tens of millions.

I define a Covid "wave" as a sustained period of >500,000 U.S. infections per day, and a "surge" as a sustained period of >1 million daily infections. We are currently in the 2nd largest surge ever.

Reviewing the 1st graph of the full pandemic, note that the number of days with <500,000 infections has decreased over the course of the pandemic.

A 1-day isolation policy means throwing lighter fluid on the raging fire of transmission. Non-wave phases of <500,000 infections/day would become limited. Surges would become more common, less predictable based on the time point of the calendar and forecasting models, and have greater variability and magnitude in peak. The prospect of a BA.1-level surge or half that would re-enter possibility.

We have had 8 waves, with people in the U.S. infected an average of 3.2 times so far. Each reinfection increases the cumulative risk of long Covid and harms health and productivity in the acute phase. Many continue to die or become disabled in the acute illness phase, and the long-term phase is more problematic.

With more transmission, expect greater discontinuity in societal function. Work and school closures. Flight delays. Political and economic disruption. Rising institutions for societal good falling when the leader becomes disabled or dies and lacks a succession plan. Sick days galore. Those paying attention would increasingly lay low, tending to their health, working remotely, passing up "opportunities," home schooling. Cognitive and emotional dyregulation would rise. Accidents. Funerals. Shortages would emerge in critical occupations, products, and supplies. Daily life would be more similar to a wave or surge, but chronic.

All of this would be worse in the Northeastern U.S., based on prior patterns of transmission, and no evidence of substantive long-term immunity to infection. All of this would be catastrophic for people with cancer and other known or unknown health vulnerabilities.

The acceleration of acute and long-term effects of infection could result in unrest, political and economic instability, and pressure for mitigation.

That is the forecast. The future is unwritten and malleable.

Hey Toronto tweeps,

I picked up food from House of Gourmet on Dundas this evening (Spadina Chinatown), and every single staff member was masked.

Not patrons, but obviously owners/management still care about this.

Plus, the food was GREAT!!!!

Noodles on a chilly evening. Yum!

Today we relaunched the @Aburgfreedom Freedom Achievers Mentorship Progam &amp; Speaker Series with guest speaker Dr. Hadiya Roderique who focused on the challenges of belonging &amp; trying to fit in, but also her realization that she wanted to be her full self, rather than fitting in.
