The absence of pop songs about the deaths in the initial stage of Covid is another strangeness.

I could yaba on about "maybe normality is a lethal addiction" but I do not understand this "like it never happened" stuff either.

Made a Covid joke though. Felt weird at the time - where are all the "too soon" jokes even?

Here in AU the "at home tests" are called #RapidAntigenTests. (RAT)
A friend said she'd got a negative RAT result.
I said it is good she hasn't turned into a rat.

"A new study has analysed 26 RATs from Australia and Canada, finding only 6 could effectively detect the lowest concentrations of COVID-19."

Got what I am almost certain is #COVID again because one way masking is the norm in shitty eugenicist USA. My N95 protects them from me spreading it around more though lol, even though it can't protect me one way, I test and mask and isolate so the virus stops here. #RapidAntigenTests are negative but that doesn't mean anything. How many Americans are just going to work with what they think is a cold, because they have no sick time and can't get that precious positive COVID test that will stop the #medicalgaslighting ?

There are reports that #ShoppersDrugMart in Ontario is (or will be) charging for #Covid19 RATs, #RapidAntigenTests. The ones provided at no-charge by the province... Apparently, a spokesperson at the Premier's office said that anyone who is charged for a RAT should report it to consumer protection: +1-800-889-9768

@KyroMaseh @ONThealth @fordnation @MaritStiles @JILLSLASTWORD @ColinDMello @ConsumerSOS Update: called @fordnation’s office to request an update re the RAT program ramping back up (and greater transparency so there’s no confusion around charges). The person I spoke to said anyone who is charged for a test @ SDM should report it to consumer protection: 1-800-889-9768

Rapid antigen tests should still be used for COVID-19, but some brands are better than others.

"While most states don't collect RAT results anymore, Dr Griffin said the tests still play an important role in controlling the spread of COVID, and ensuring effective treatment is given early enough to work well."

New research suggests manufacturer statements about the accuracy of COVID rapid antigen tests generally 'overstate sensitivity', but experts say it's still important to use them.

Here's how you can lower your risk of getting sick at conventions since many have dropped solid #publichealth measures & virtual attendance in favor of politics & revenue.

Follow the SCIENCE, not the crowd on #COVID protection

We STILL need to #MaskUp #WearAMask
#GetVaccinated
#RapidAntigenTests daily
Plan for sick time after conference

As much as I wish it were the case #CovidIsNotOver

“COVID-19 care & access to treatment, just like access to #vaccination and #RapidAntigenTests,
should not depend on which province you live in. Living in BC puts individuals at a disadvantage when they are infected with #COVID,” @Radicalmd
