If only there had been some kind of major international crisis where every expert had been shouting about how important and beneficial it would be to invest massively in air safety measures, maybe we might have been better prepared for this.

The only thing the governments used when they infected almost every single human with C19… was the hospitalisation and death rate numbers. Let that sink in. For a new virus.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

The world of 2019, the world as it was before Covid-19 took hold, is gone forever. Wishful thinking and playacting will not bring it back. We are now living in a world of unrestrained disease, a world in which strong, uncompromising measures of caution and safety are urgently necessary. #COVID19

Asking people to “have a serious think” is the most unhelpful advice I’ve heard since “think about wearing a mask”. Public health advice should be easy to understand, and, dare I say it… not require a lot of thinking… because people are too busy being either sick… or busy…

The chilling virus fact? It spreads through the air. My peeps... this should not be chilling at all anymore. We should have invested a stack of money into air safety already... www.thesun.co.uk/health/35366...

So many anti-vaxxers, kooks, and dangerous Great Barrington Declaration crackpots who wanted mass infection and sickness instead of vaccination 😢 Entirely predictable that RFK Jr, the world’s most notorious, extreme anti-vaxx activist would do this. It will cause so much death & suffering FFS.

Confirming my cancer hosp employer has reintroduced N95s in high-risk areas, due to "high levels of COVID in the community". I reckon it's also due to high levels of staff sick leave. All very ambulance at the bottom of the cliff...when will they learn.

Ukraine did something that the US and Europe failed to do for nearly half a century, it crippled Russia’s ability to launch nuclear weapons and long range strikes. At least one arm of Russia’s nuclear trident was destroyed. Ukraine did that, on its own, successfully. Have you said thank you yet?

Anyone remember ScoMo and “hospitals are ready”, and Chris Minns hanging around outside EDs , plus the general use of mental health to make excuses to let COVID-19 into the country? Turns out no one actually gives a 💩 about anything…

Messages are trickling out to the public slowly. I wonder if society cares enough to prevent this massively destructive COVID pandemic from disabling a generation😓 Doug Ford's lack of action continues to make everything worse.

The fact that some public health leaders are still waiting for sars-2 to become wintertime seasonal is a good indicator that some public health leaders don't understand seasonality. Seasonality is dynamical resonance in pathogen systems...the bug in question has to "want" to oscillate...

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

www.cbsnews.com/video/millio... Populism normalised this. It normalised millions of children being unprotected for airborne transmission of a virus that causes organ damage and this is ongoing. This is not ok and it’s not normal for governments to wash their hands of responsibility.

This is a failure of medical care. If cancer patients are catching COVID whilst they're receiving care for their cancer, we have FAILED. And yes, my cancer hospital has rolled back mask requirements because they are irresponsible idiots.
