  1. If you're sad and infuriated about how the U.S. is treating a mass disabling event, maybe it's time to see how other countries are handling it. Canada is poised to implement a requirement for healthcare workers to mask in healthcare settings, which could become a global precedent.

  5. Ok, so this article mentions COVID twice, but only from the perspective of schools were open or closed, yet completely fails to mention/consider that repeat covid infections have been shown to impact brain capacity and function. #CovidIsAirborne #CovidIsStillHere #CleanTheAir #CleanAirForSchools

  7. For those keeping track at home, John Rustad, leader of the Conservative Party of BC, is anti-LGBTQ+, anti-harm reduction, anti-science, and now anti-vaccine. And for the one main promise he's made, he admits he doesn't have funding plan in place.

  12. Against my better judgment, I didn’t wear a mask at a conference. I have Covid and finding out that other attendees do too. Collectively, most of us felt safe going maskless. Can’t believe I followed the crowd. #WearAMask #MasksSaveLives #CovidIsStillHere #CovidIsNotOver

  17. Spring break for a lot of K-12 kids in the U.S. starts in about 3 weeks. (Varies but around Easter is fairly typical.)

    Now's a good time to encourage teachers you know to consider masking up. The last thing they are going to want is to be sick when they have a week off work.

    Parents too! Get those kiddies in masks so that everyone can enjoy the spring break travel or activity plans.

    Also helps with the lovely (/s) measles outbreaks we are having 😆

  20. Covid conscious Americans!

    Friday March 8th is last day to order free covid tests shipped from USPS.

    Even if you've ordered in the last free round, sign up again in case they will ship more to you.

    Once again, you're right.

    It's not equivalent.

    Better to compare it with drunk driving while not wearing a seatbelt.

    ICYMI, we're in the 2nd-highest surge of the (ongoing) pandemic.

    2021 US #drunkDriving deaths: 13,000 (NHTSA)

    2021 US #COVID deaths: 460,000 (CDC)

    You're right. 35x more annual deaths in the US is "absolutely not even close to the same magnitude of risk".

  29. "Four years into this pandemic, most people don't understand the stakes. Corporations have colluded with our governments to coordinate a massive public misinformation campaign. It sounds like the stuff of conspiracy theories, until you look at history. You see how far our governments have gone to downplay the risks of everything from radium and tobacco to saccharine, lead, and asbestos."

  32. "It looks to me like governments have started to respond to the long covid emergency like they’ve responded to the climate emergency: by cooking the books and fiddling the numbers to dodge their moral, financial and social responsibilities."

    It's hard to convey how disappointed I am in Western governments. Not surprised, just disappointed.

  35. @epicdemiologist
    Same here. We were planning to travel to visit family, but one of the teenage grandkids tested positive. My priority is keeping their grandmother alive, so I cancelled the trip.

    No one will say it, but since I insisted that they get tested in the first place, I'm pretty sure the whole family is mad at me.

  37. Who can point me to an #COVID cautious orthopedic practice in the continental U.S.? I want to walk into the office and see everybody masked already, not just putting on masks when I show up masked.

  39. CW: Politics, Covid

    Also if you're looking at the UK and feeling a sigh of relief as you live in another country.

    You're deluding yourself. No government that thinks the pandemic is over is handling this well. They just haven't been caught out with messages admitting they just want the sick, old, and disabled to just die like Johnson did.

  41. @everythingopen @xrobau will Everything Open be sharing the conference space with another event?

    I am glad to see that there is an awareness of COVID in the health policy. Would you consider a more #PHPledge type health policy? @josh would love to help you.

    We all ready have the examples of #fossy, @NorthBayPython , @SeaGL and also @bsdcan who managed to create a robust safe health policy. #CovidIsStillHere

    I loved going to LCA in 2020. It would be nice to have another event I could attend.

  42. @phpledge @josh One last thing.

    Will @fsf / @fsfe commit to having a #PublicHealth policy at their meet ups celebrating #gnu40?

    Will any of the attendees who are speaking at these events commit to the #PHPledge?

    It's only a few weeks away, but I did ask back in July, with no response.

    Or does fighting for rights only apply to code and hardware?

  43. One of the points @phpledge and @josh makes is that you can ask for safer conferences to attend. We've done it before by pushing for conferences to have COCs with anti harrassment policies.

    We need our community leaders to push for rigorous public health policies as #CovidIsStillHere

    In 2013 @scalzi decided to take a stand on COCs by announcing he wouldn't be the guest of honor, or a panel participant unless the conference had an anti harrassment policy.

    #PHPledge

  44. Be careful folks. Wear a mask.

    Today one of our Physicians tested positive for #COVID.

    We are now in OUTBREAK STATUS.
