Habe Weihnachten zum wiederholten Mal im Altenheim verbracht (dort gewohnt, nicht nur Stippvisite). Hier ein paar Erkenntnisse:
1. Wer du mal warst oder was du wichtiges gemacht hast, interessiert hier niemanden mehr. Mit dem Abschied vom Job verabschiedet sich auch die Bedeutung

Introverts across Southern Ontario are hoping the storm warnings live up to the hype for this Pre-Christmas weekend.

The best excuse is one provided by Mother Nature.🙃

@cherrysberries Quite possibly the senior of the team with many Worldcups under his belt.

@JohnLovesJulie Sounds a tad clumsy, but how about „making things by hand“? - I have been looking for an English translation of „Schmatzen“ for decades btw.

Dr Shamji is an ER doctor and MPP - he does not mince his words. Listen to him. We are in a crisis and now is the time for decisive medical leadership. @ShamjiAdil

Putting on your respirator when you’re already been inside a space with shared air is as useful as putting on your winter clothes after you’ve shoveled. #BringBackMasks #CovidIsAirborne

@odbof85 @JohnLovesJulie „Wenn meine Großmutter Räder hätte, wär‘ sie ein Omnibus.“ That‘s the version I grew up with.

@allan_k_grillMD @PSwadden I am grateful for every family doctor who did not scale back their availability. The family group practice „serving“ us went virtual only for two years and put all cancer screenings on hold. Started on their PAP backlog now. Still no physicals.

@AaronGBurnett @TheLocalGermany As the Beibehaltungsgenehmigung is now much harder to obtain, this would be excellent news for Germans living abroad.

"We haven't actually created communication platforms. We haven't created engagement platforms. We've created lots of shouting platforms...We've ended up in a world of soundbites, not a conversation, not a dialog." @WHO's @DrMikeRyan shares why social media feels unsafe. #WHS2022

German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach calls for reintroduction of mask mandates, citing "sharp increase" in COVID cases - ZDF

⚠️We are headed for a bad flu season. Cases are surging MUCH EARLIER than last year. This winter will be a double whammy of both #flu & #COVID & and likely RSV too. Did you get your flu shot yet? This year’s shot is a good match for the strain too. #GetVaccinated 🙏

[Colin Furness MISt PhD MPH @FurnessColin]

This Thanksgiving is different from the past two under COVID.

1. This year, the virus is way more prevalent, AND more way more immune escaping (from vax as well as past infection).

2. This year, our hospitals are overwhelmed for those unlucky enough to become very ill.

Hier schreibt Renate Bergmann, guten Morgen. Heute muss ich mal die große Friedhofsrunde machen und meine Männer harken. Die Herbstbepflanzung ist zwar pflegeleicht, aber geharkt werden muss. Die alten Frauen reden doch, und dann heißt es: "Die Bergmann harkt ihre Männer nicht!"
