“Masks should not be worn in public spaces in the Center. This is especially important for our public-facing and front-of-house employees” The Kennedy Center is violating the rights of employees AND patrons. People in public facing roles have the greatest risk & should not be fired for masking 🧵

When it comes to #CSA in Ireland so many heads are deeply buried in the sand. Two must read articles by Hazel Katherine Larkin and Elaine Loughlin.

submitted 38 days ago • 2 comments

These articles are linked. Professionals in Irl have no idea how to ID #CSA, how it affects a person, or how to deal with disclosure. Gov Agencies don't want to learn. Nor do schools or HEAs. I'm available to help. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm... www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41...

Mask mandates belong in healthcare year round. Patients who get infected with COVID and die or become disabled won’t be comforted by the fact it happened outside “respiratory season”. Staff need a “break” from PPE? I want a break from chronic illness. I don’t want to get worse seeking healthcare

Hospitals and health authorities across Canada that brought back some form of masking (usually in certain areas of the facility) for “respiratory virus season” are now announcing the end of masking. Note: COVID is not seasonal. And HAI Covid will rise.

Most people haven’t heard of this test, which is available in the US. It accurately predicts Alzheimer’s (not just if there’s a risk, but when). It is modulated by exercise and likely other lifestyle factors. Here’s (almost) everything we know about it erictopol.substack.com/p/the-breakt...

Notable change in language from senior Irish government figures this morning: where at the weekend they were having no truck with talk of recession (merely reduced growth), the threat of escalating U.S.-China trade wars now has the Taoiseach using that word explicitly

It is estimated that “raising the cap (on flights at dublin airport) would lead to an increase in flight emissions (of) 141 times more than emissions cuts gained by investing in the solar farm” Who could have predicted this? #ClimateCrisis #Speirgorm www.rte.ie/news/2025/04...
