COVID infections are causing widespread immune damage and we need urgent action on preventions, good messaging, clean air, layered approach. We can’t afford to wait any longer.

In a world in which few people have undamaged immune systems, the unusual will become far more common.

Fair point. Cf. “Droplet Dogma” for a modern example of medicine’s firm belief that its hands are clean by definition!

Do we really HAVE to turn our world into an episode of Black Mirror?

I’ve got your morning papers

Very wise!

Currently reading an excellent book on it tho—“Lab Leak Fever”. (Not a great title, but it’s well-written and researched). I’m only 10% in but I anticipate that it will build a convincing case against a lab leak in the case of Covid

Is that true tho? I’d think it’s human respiration that determines the size of particles, rather than the pathogen—tho some may be more readily transmitted via surfaces than others. (NB I’m no expert in this! But I suspect aerosol plays a much bigger role in disease than we previously assumed)

Dammit GIVE the gift. But you get the point.

Almost everything sucks these days.

These people don’t.

If you also don’t suck, the gift of not getting sick!

1. Immigrants don't work vs. They steal our jobs

2. Immigrants hyphenate their identity and are disloyal vs. They will never be real Americans/Canadians/Etc no matter what they do.

3. Immigrants bring disease vs. Infectious diseases are harmless rites of passage when spread by "our" people.

That sounds like exactly the kind of absurd project I can get behind!

Canada Post "loses" a billion dollars a year. The Canadian Armed Forces lose $26.5-billion a year.

Or, each has a cost to taxpayers.

This is the only thing he's ever said that I agree with.

Why is it called football, when you run around carrying the damn thing so much?? There's hardly any kicking in the game!

It’s not a mistake. It’s deliberate.

Everyone who supported the anti-science quacks, who voted to install them, who backed the pro-infection crowd: you got what you asked for.

You shat in your bed. Now sleep in it.
