Bruce Springsteen - Nightshift (Official Video) youtu.be/GsTKEQzLkmw via @YouTube Thought my 3 or 4 followers might enjoy this. You are welcome.
Today I talked to someone who was fully receptive to reasonable COVID precaution requests and it was a little taste of HOW EASY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN. They were like “Yeah, sounds good! Being sick with anything let alone COVID sucks. Who wants that?” And I was like “Great!”
🧵 In advance of a potential fall/winter seasonal set of Omicron waves, this thread will begin to share facts, advice and reminders on how to up our game in areas that matter most, including masking and indoor air quality. #Masks #CovidIsAirborne
Oh yes, it is absolutely going swimmingly! Right? Right?

Any risk averse immunocompromised person should already know most of this but it is a very good outline of our pandemic right now. This could easily apply to BC. Buckle up! Stay safe.

So to recap ✔️No masks ✔️No protections ✔️Waning vaccine protection ✔️Still no vaxx for under 5’s ✔️Soon, no more rapid tests ✔️Reduced isolation time ✔️No more contact tracing ✔️Denial of airborne transmission ✔️And now .. MonkeyPox I mean what could go wrong 🤷🏻♀️
@LatestAnonPress Thank YOU beyond infinity 💥🇺🇦
Lots going on in the real world and the twitter-verse but why am I loosing it every time I see the words loose & lose misspelled! It seems to be every single time and yes I did spell it wrong intentionally. Minor rant for today - tomorrow, bouncing baby goats and stuff. 😎

Let's put this to rest. It is NEVER time to panic. Never, ever. At no time will anyone ever say "Ok, time to panic". If you are in public health, preventing "panic" is NOT YOUR JOB. Your job is PREVENTING DISEASE.
American cows now have bird flu, too – but it’s time for planning, not panic theguardian.com/commentisfree/… by @devisridhar “If mutations enable human-to-human spread, avian flu would become the top priority for governments..." Key: "...preparing for this scenario with a testing,…
It's worth pointing out that these highly pathogenic strains of bird flu come from industrial poultry facilities, not wild bird populations. When the bird flu pandemic starts, it will literally be our chickens coming home to roost.

You can see in the COVID infected brain, the degraded myelin attracts more activated microglia to the region contributing to more neuroinflammatory responses. 13/

"Efforts to prevent reinfection are critical to reduce the risk of long-term population health loss." 10/
