Outrageous that #Covid tests are $12 a piece right now in Walgreens. We are asking people earning minimum wage to basically work a full hour just to be responsible and test if they are infectious to others.
datum (n=1)It's 2023 - no it's 2024. It's 2025. No, no, it's 2026! And we have another variant that defeats vaccination to date:
BA.3.2-derived lineages exhibit escape from vaccine-elicited neutralising antibodies [1]
And another variant that is defeated by N95s 
and clean air, because
70 to 75 genetic changes in its spike protein [2]
can't stop aerosolized particles from being trapped by effective filtration.

ahimsaAnyone can get ME/CFS.
And I want to emphasize that folks who were healthy & active before ME/CFS are no more deserving of our empathy than those folks who were not!
But I hope this story helps people understand no one is "too healthy" to get this disabling illness. FYI, COVID infection can trigger ME/CFS.

Geoff BernerI feel optimistic about @avilewis being the new leader of the NDP. An NDP leader says the word Socialism for the first time since the 1970s. It's also nice to see the mainstream media attacks are highlighting his opposition to pipelines, which nearly all potential NDP voters agree with.

"Is it possible that health-care workers were inadequately protected during the pandemic โ and continue to be unnecessarily exposed to serious risk?"

Sarah dreams of beansDuring this whole pandemic I have been pondering how to have satisfying social events that are not centered around food and drinks, which was my usual in the before times.
New experiment today was having a friend do a masked dj set in the kitchen during a craft party. 10/10 recommend craft rave.
Likely Jan LukasI bought the tool secondhand somewhere in #Edmonton, #Alberta sometime shortly after the beginning of the #covid19 #pandemic, as one of many quasi-random #tools and #materials I would end up testing and using to create my own masks that would be safe for me to wear for long periods and provide the best degree of homemade #PPE protection I could manage whilst also avoiding problems with #allergies (such as metal on nose-fittings).
