Hello Blueskies,

I don't have the time or patience or studio equipment to record an educational presentation.

Is there somebody in here who could help me set up a lip-syncing avatar to perform my role from a script for streaming ?

Without needing to take a bank loan.

Hey @1goodtern.bsky.social

How is the "respiratory season" going ?

An increasing number of radio and television presenters are breathless and hoarse, and MPs are clearly suffering with cold-like symptoms.

Anecdata coming from schools, too.

A cruel and unusual denial of residency.

Windrush: Woman loses High Court bid to remain in UK Jeanell Hippolyte's siblings have leave to remain in the UK - but she has been denied the right.

I did not really follow the double or even triple negatives, but there is a summary here that works for me :-

Without being granted Indefinite Leave to Remain, this daughter and mother could lose permission to stay living with her family in the UK.

omg? lol

Thanks to all the atheists out there just doing the right thing without me threatening you with fire and brimstone.

We need socialist funding for healthcare.

It's Christian.

It's Biblical.

The governments exist to administer welfare or they fail.

A state or nation that doesn't collectively fund healthcare is bound to fall.

Call it tithing. Call it zakat. Call it charity. Call it whatever you like.

I'm sure most people would be happy paying 5% of their income so that everyone, old grannies, young orphans, you, me, we all get the healthcare we need.

It's a society we all need. Yes, social co-operation.

How do so many countries afford to offer everyone healthcare that is free at the point of use ?

Everybody pays in a little. Anybody who needs care gets it.

Call it socialism. Call it community funding. Call it what you want.

It's the model of welfare put in place in the Early Church.

Involved in family care of elders today.

God TV is on.

The preacher is praying for healing for people.

Suddenly I have insight.

Many ordinary Americans are thrown on the mercy of Jesus, because they can't afford healthcare.

Let's get back to the communal welfare of the Acts of the Apostles.

And exactly how many times lower would it have to be to get R<1…

Clue. Not 9 times.

Currently dealing with my almost monthly cold/flu and need to vent. Me and my boyfriend caught COVID twice in a short space of time in 2021-2022, we barely got ill before but now it has been almost constant. I started off with long COVID (it triggered vestibular migraine and dissociation that lasted for a year and a bit, still deal with it on and off). I need to vent because UK workplaces are not accommodating of the fact that people are sicker than they used to be. I know so many people including myself and boyfriend thats jobs are being threatened because of having to be off sick when there is naff all we can do about it! Something needs to be done to protect the workers from circular rules when the world has changed to squares (I hope that makes sense, does in my sick brain) I'm so exhausted, I want to be at work earning money not laying in bed barely able to function.

What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has an answer Modelling study based on almost 250,000 positive COVID-19 tests in the United Kingdom shows that universal masking could have cut transmission markedly.

What would have happened if everyone in the United Kingdom had worn high-grade masks during the COVID-19 pandemic? A modelling study1 has estimated just how sharply transmission might have dropped. Determining the effect of masks on viral transmission is difficult, and most studies so far have been affected by limitations such as small sample sizes. To overcome this issue, Richard Sear at the University of Surrey, UK, developed a model of transmission using data from the UK National Health Service COVID-19 app. The app, which ran on mobile phones between 2020 and 2023, logged information about infections and the length of time users came into contact with each other. Sear built on a previously published analysis2 of 240,000 positive COVID-19 tests and 7 million contacts — instances in which app users were notified that they had been exposed to the virus. He estimated that if everyone in the United Kingdom had worn N95 or FFP2 masks — both highly effective at filtering particles — the rate of COVID-19 transmission would have dropped by a factor of 9.

New modeling study finds that if everyone in the United Kingdom had worn N95 or FFP2 masks from the start of the pandemic, the rate of COVID-19 transmission would have been 9 times lower.

I started wearing a mask about a month before most of the population of the United States even knew the covid was coming. A P100 mask. I have not had any problems since, and I have not even caught a small cold! It's simple common sense! Works wonders. The next thing, get ready for the bird flu.

Just because a bunch of professors at Stanford say COVID’s no big deal doesn’t make it true. You know this. You know someone who’s died from covid. You know someone with long covid. You’ve probably had covid several times yourself. They are spreading misinformation because it fits their ideology.

In 1888, a course at MIT taught how to use CO2 measurements to determine whether a building was properly ventilated. The CO2 thresholds recommended in 1888 are exactly those used in 2024 by a large number of official agencies: 600, 800, 1000 and 1500ppm. Public health is also a matter for engineers.

A single mutation in bovine influenza H5N1 hemagglutinin switches specificity to human receptors In 2024, several human infections with highly pathogenic clade 2.3.4.4b bovine influenza H5N1 viruses in the United States raised concerns about their capability for bovine-to-human or even human-to-h...

It’s alarming to think #H5N1 is just one mutation away from human-to-human transmission.

If we had acted decisively when it first emerged in March, we wouldn’t be playing Russian Roulette with this threat now.
