(I wish I could have my trusty blackberry keys or trusty blackberry keyboard learning!). It was supposed to read, ā€œIf you’re needing a little bump in your pride joy, here’s a pic of that chalk mural….ā€

That’s the warm-up for ā€œscraping skin off the back of your wrist whilst clipping the carseat into the airplane seat that’s next to the window.ā€

What? Maybe I’m missing something, but that makes no sense to me.

As I understand it, Health Canada subsidized most of the cost for local/provincial agencies to provide this service. It wasn’t a federally-run program, but was heavily federally-funded. Just like federally-funded $10 daycare, and how it paid for covid vaccines (which has also ended).

Plus they use up water (to cool computers) and are often incorrect. Please change the headlines to ā€œYour AI use is damaging the environmentā€ or ā€œHow your AI use is aggravating climate changeā€ or ā€œAI is pushing us towards an Earth that can’t sustain lifeā€ or something other than tentative ā€œcould.ā€

(I feel keeping our labour strong shouldn’t have to be the thing that sways someone to support bringing back this program, but it that’s what it takes, then so be it.) We are already seeing vast immune damage caused by airborne covid. We need to stop policy-induced immunodeficiency. #StopPII

So ridiculous. It makes no sense.

Please Government of Canada, bring this back. It is smart healthcare, smart economics, good for patients, and helps preserve labour market participation. @mark-carney.bsky.social @coreyhogan.ca @picardonhealth.bsky.social @iasociety.bsky.social @popab.ca @protectbc.bsky.social 4/4

From a simple economic lens, finding people with HIV enables them to seek early care, which done properly lowers their HIV to undetectable levels, and overall lowers HIV spread, reducing healthcare costs. Removing a program that works will only increase healthcare costs, and sicken more people. 3/

do so easily. Sure, they can see a doc like me, go to a special clinic, order it up themselves. But some people won’t. And if we have a proven program that reduces the number of people with unknown HIV infections, why on Earth would we kill that program?!? 2/

openly acknowledged their error. What we have now are hosts of hospitals, health systems and universities which are ignoring the mountains of research and acting as if covid is no big deal and are failing in their duty to patients and staff. Awesome that your team did the right thing. Stay strong.

My original post was awaiting someone who ā€œsays clearly that covid is airborne and it was a mistake to pretend it wasn’t.ā€ I am thrilled for you and your team that you had solid administrators. They and others were discounted by society at large. I can’t wait to meet the first person who …

CR boxes (air filtration) are cheap. An N95 a day is cheap. Replacing a sick nurse or doctor or other staff is expensive, if you can even find these replacements. Covid causes long covid which causes a lot of disability. That’s expensive too.

My goalposts have always been proper patient and occupational safety. You said you have a hospital that struggled to get resources. I directly responded about the financial costs of not having proper protections in place, as the costs of or ability to acquire resources appeared to be your concern.

Seems very cool. 1. Can it handle more than one device at a time? 2. What is the cost after trial week? One-time cost, ongoing cost?
comment in response to post
I’ve seen and read about people saying these things after leaving their roles. I’ve not heard anyone say these things while they were still in a position to put in place good protective measures.
comment in response to post
Hey sorry. I was simply asking because I didn’t know. I hope they have these measures in place as it will save them money by reducing staff illness. They would also lead to better patient outcomes.

This is great! Do they have a respirator mask mandate in place and robust air filtration devices all around?
