Sweet jeezus. Itโ€™s all hygiene theatre. Clearly, they donโ€™t care whether the residents live or die.

Let me get this straight.
Houston is running a 2 Billion deficit, and they want to subsidize private business?

No wonder he's running a 2 B deficit.
He sucks at managing it.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

They have fired the staff of the CDCโ€™s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

The Great Derangement: Carney, Trump and the Return of Keystone XL Well, that was unexpected.

The great derangement syndrome. As the world blows past the 1.5 degree red line Trump and Carney talk about reviving Keystone XL.
It won't lower tariffs on wood, furniture, steel, auto.
But it will be a massive carbon bomb to a struggling planet.
My latest.

Bank of England Warns of Impending AI Disaster The Bank of England has sounded the alarm, warning of an intensifying risk of a "sudden correction" due to an AI spending frenzy.

You can now book updated Flu, COVID (LP.8.1), and RSV vaccinations in Nova Scotia. Free RSV shots available to anyone over 75. Free Flu and COVID shots are available to anyone 6 months or older. If you've been recently sick or vaccinated it's best to wait until it's been 3 months. COVID is airborne.

NS Health's AI apparently programmed with incorrect information. Covid's primary route of transmission is aerosol (airborne), not droplets/surfaces.

This is the Nova Scotia Government's health care "fix." It's irresponsible, and demonstrates a complete disregard for Nova Scotians and their health.

Good news!! Well done, HRM council. Now we can watch and see just how corrupt (or not) the Houston Conservatives are. Will they use their new powers to over ride councilโ€™s decision for the benefit of their friends?

Theyโ€™ve scheduled the rollout for their own convenience. So they can combine flu and Covid appointments. Itโ€™s absolutely criminal. A vulnerable family member is scheduled for surgery Oct 30th and Iโ€™m doubtful we can get her vaccinated in time.

Too late for a vulnerable family member who is scheduled to have surgery Oct 30th. I hate the lack of care for the most vulnerable members of our community. Shame on the invisible Dr. Strang.
