  5. From yesterday, at Saanich Peninsula ER.
    Poor public health management on a poster. Surgical masks are better than no masks but they're not strong enough protection against airborne contagious illnesses. If people wait for symptoms to start wearing masks in hospitals - it's already too late. Many airborne contagious illnesses are asymptomatic so people who don't feel sick/look physically sick are still more than able to infect others. Stop the fast public spread of more contagious airborne illnesses by wearing at least an KN95 or N95 mask in every medical setting & anywhere you're indoors with a bunch of strangers.

  6. One of the best summaries of what went wrong with #US #Healthcare. No longer available from the PBS website(s) as far as I can tell. So I've taken the liberty of writing a review and posting it here with links to the original #video.

    "Sick Around the World" (2008 #PBS #Frontline #Documentary)

    Conclusions...

    1) #Insurance companies must accept everyone, and cannot make a profit on basic care.
    2) #Everybody is mandated to buy insurance, with government paying the premiums for the poor.
    3) #Doctors and #Hospitals have to accept one standard set of fixed prices.

    By Jenny Kleeman

    Neil Hopper was celebrated for continuing to do his job despite the loss of his lower limbs. But what the people he was treating didn’t know was that his injuries were self-inflicted. Now they and their families are asking questions

    [a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    #US lawmakers Rep. #PramilaJayapal (D-WA) and Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) traveled to Cuba to see the impact of sanctions firsthand. After visiting hospitals, Rep. Jayapal describes what she saw: premature babies struggling in incubators, mothers without food, and #hospitals facing power outages. She says U.S. policy causing scarcities in Cuba is “an act of war.”
