Ontario finance minister says rate of health-care spending is ‘unsustainable’ | Globalnews.ca In the buildup to the 2026 budget, Doug Ford's finance minister is raising concerns about the sustainability of health-care spending in Ontario.

Break public healthcare by starving it of funding, declare it broken, privatize.

💕Many thanks to @mind.org.uk for reminding the @ukcovid-19inquiry.bsky.social that

"Places that *should* be SAFE and were *not* safe."

And the lack of safety caused mental health harms.

Signs you were once a doctor that had to do overnight on call…

I just tried to answer my alarm clock.

Welp. Here goes. Another day…

It’s not even about higher ideals, such as justice or ethics at this point in time.

Either we build robust systems to safeguard these rights for everyone… or somehow, somewhere, anyone could be the exception to human rights.

I don’t think citizenship should be something that evaporates… for any reason.

I don’t think human rights and legal rights should only apply to “some people”.

Punishment for crimes? Yes.

Selecting people out as “less than human”… dangerous.

X is a dangerous hate factory.

I don’t think it is reflecting hate from general society. I think it is causing it.

If you spend any time at all on X and you are one of its owners target groups… you will walk away thinking your neighbour is about to stab you to death the next time you press the garage door opener.

It is such a cesspit of hate, and, divorced from reality… for now.

I'm all for blood donation, but not until Red Cross requires respirators in their facilities. I would not donate blood because I've had long COVID for six years and it might be transmissible. Sera from people with long COVID patients transfused into humanized mice gave the mice long COVID.

Interesting…

a) not enough.
b) Did the hospital vow to change infection control practices to try and minimise cases of hospital acquired Covid 19?

Alt text: Screenshot of an Ici news article with the headline, “The family of a man who died from Covid-19 at La Rochelle hospital in 2021 is seeking compensation in court.” Below the headline is a photo showing rooftops and hospital buildings in La Rochelle, France. The caption notes the 85-year-old man was likely infected with COVID in his hospital room. The article is by François Petitdemange, published 11 February 2026.

France: First court case over death linked to hospital-acquired COVID-19 infection.

Awarded €8,000 for the harm suffered by the victim; €15,000 for the widow’s emotional distress, €4,000 for funeral costs, and €4,000 each for the 4 children’s emotional distress.

Long COVID associated with SARS-CoV-2 reinfection among children and adolescents in the omicron era (RECOVER-EHR): a retrospective cohort study Children and adolescents face a significantly higher risk of various PASC outcomes after reinfection with SARS-CoV-2. These findings add to previous evidence linking paediatric long COVID to multisyst...

“Reinfection was associated with a significantly increased risk of an overall PASC diagnosis (RR 2·08 [1·68–2·59]) and a range of symptoms and conditions potentially related to PASC (RR range 1·15–3·60), including myocarditis, changes in taste and smell, thrombophlebitis and thromboembolism, …etc

Bookmarked for later… thank you

This study based on 130 countries using Google mobility data finds that staying home works. A 1% weekly increase in time spent at residential places was linked to 70 fewer weekly COVID-19 cases and 7 fewer weekly deaths on average. doi.org/10.1080/10911359.20...

Next they'll be telling us that COVID is a vascular disease.

Right now, in #NewZealand 30,000+ homes without power

Some of those have resilience built in, solar, battery, V2G EV

This is what NZ should be looking to spend money on

It’s a real dilemma. Do I prefer living in the era of antibiotics, or the era of people using their brains. 🤷🏻‍♀️

(Obviously the period of having both can’t be maintained for long… 🤦🏻‍♀️)

Good job we can’t be asked now…

Data? Who needs data? /s

New research shows how Londoners used death data to survive the plague What a 350-year-old diary reveals about public health power.

New research by the University of Portsmouth reveals that during the Great Plague of 1665, Londoners used published death figures to make daily, life or death decisions, reshaping how governments managed public health and personal freedom for the first time www.port.ac.uk/news-events-...

The return of those from overseas holidays colliding with return to school... Like night follows day 💥

I can see an increase in IVF complications and attempts at higher risk pregnancies… if this comes to pass…

Reform are intending to penalise women who don’t have more children that’s disgusting. 🤮

Oh, my phone has been binging and bonging all week with measles notifications in Sydney too. It’s not “big” but it’s persistent…

“This [pandemic period] showed me and my family that society views disabled and chronically [ill] lives like mine as disposable.”
