You can destroy the US; they voted for a lunatic president, so go right on with your insane agenda while the world laughs at your antics. BUT do not ever mistake our kindness for weakness. You don’t want to mess with Canada Herr Trump. ca.news.yahoo.com/president-tr...

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers. Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at TAU and the University of Lisbon have developed a groundbreaking nano-vaccine against COVID-19, delivered via nasal spray WITHOUT requiring cold storage. Preclincial studies show the vaccine was effective against ALL major SARS-CoV-2 variants. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

On the train back to Toronto. Conductor immediately flagged that we'll probably be an hour late because of conflicts with freight. I honestly don't even care about speed. I just want dedicated tracks so we can get up to top speed more frequently and have more predictability/better scheduling.

I’m here to slap around the alt-right politics of Pierre Poilievre in Canada. If your with me: 1. Give me a follow. 2. Comment and I’ll follow you. 3. Repost this to spread the word!

From the Canadian respiratory virus surveillance report. "The latest data, which covers the week ending Nov. 9, 2024, shows an uptick in RSV infections across Canada & COVID-19 rates decreasing. Influenza rates are low & stable, but "showing early signs of increase," according to the dashboard."

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, PLEASE GET ALL OF YOUR VACCINES NOW.

My 1st post on Blue Sky! Happy to be on this new platform and hoping that those who follow me on the other platform rejoin here. I'll continue to post about indoor air quality, College of Engineering at #UCDavis, and occasionally about dogs & music. 1st image = two #CRBox es & a dean.

The day before the Centers for Disease Control issued this health alert, Toronto Public Health congratulated itself on closing its vaccine clinics aa the pandemic emergency response ended. Yes, it's the U.S. CDC but we're in the same situation here. TPH's messaging undermines any sense of urgency.

Evidence for the high level of protection of the XBB.1.5 ("updated") Covid vaccine vs current circulating variants from the Netherlands in advanced age groups —71% protection vs hospitalization —73% protection vs ICU admission www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thru a comms lens, there's just so much bad in the AG's report, it's almost like flooding the zone -- except it's real news affecting many areas with what would be so many different lead-the-news stories. Important things are going to get lost with the public simply due to a firehose of scandal.

The science behind mycoplasma, interesting read. Posted from twitter, author Dr. Noor Bari x.com/njbbari3/sta...

Yes, folks, we have hit Omicron peak Covid levels and it's only November. Christ on a bike. What a nightmare.

I had foolishly hoped we had hit peak COVID for this wave. But nope, still in a launch trajectory.

"Governments know it’s important to improve air quality in shared indoor spaces because they’ve ensured it for themselves in their own workplaces. We’re just looking for the same for our children and education workers." healthydebate.ca/2023/11/topi...

“When I applied to university, I never thought I would have to hide my Jewishness, chillingly echoing how my great-grandparents erased their Jewish identities in the 1930s after fleeing from Greece to Turkey.”

On twitter, engineer Joey Fox pointed out that in 🇨🇦 we have an opportunity to weigh in on the National Construction Codes. This is our chance to say we need ASHRAE 241 adopted ASAP! Please also share! #ASHRAE241 #cdnpoli #COVIDisAirborne https://ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-7832

Virus update for Ottawa, ON, Canada (Nov 12, 2023) #Wastewater levels in #Ottawa remain higher than the peak of the first #Omicron BA.1 wave and #hospitalization *for* #COVID-19 continues to increase ( covid.gilchrist.ca/Ottawa.html ). 🧪🧵1/

This post is triggering antivaxxers over on Twitter so I'm just boosting it for fun 🤭

From NIH: Kids were significant sources of infections to workers as Delta and Omicron became dominant. Findings serve as an updated assessment of the significant role of children in transmission of SARS-CoV-2, which can be extended to other common airborne pathogens www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

#Ottawa PH released weekly COVID outbreak data yesterday for hospitals, LTCHs, group homes, retirement homes, and schools. Only active outbreaks selected. Hospitals & retirement homes are the worst, 2 deaths at the Civic. No data for schools which is nonsense. Source: open.ottawa.ca/datasets/ott...

@nilikm.bsky.social I’ve heard that Jewish owned businesses are being targeted in Toronto. Are there any here in Ottawa that need support, more business? I would like to support them locally. Or if you know of any other local Jewish organizations that need support, please let me know.

Apparently this needs being said and repeated daily. Jewish people are not the Israeli government. Muslim and Palestinian people are not Hamas. Only those of low intellect or moral vacuity blame innocents for the actions of others. You know who you are. Stop it.
