I was fortunate to get it before 50 but I had benefits that were willing to pay for it.

I left twitter and don’t want to go back but I sincerely miss you.

Beneficial to you and the recipient. Good job!

I start fantasizing about taking it down on Boxing Day. BTW, it’s still up but I’m itching.

MELIA can live with cats. 😺 (Slow intro) She spent her second holiday at the shelter. Shes patiently waiting for that amazing human to adopt her. Quiet Adult only home. No dogs.

Pro tip: If you are attending a crowded event in winter, wearing a well-fitting mask like an N95 can serve double duty by keeping your face warm and keeping viruses away.

(yes, transmission can still happen outdoors in crowds or with close and sustained contact to someone who is sick).

Stopped using it when it changed hands but could never bring myself to get rid of it until now. My account is now deactivated and the app deleted. Thanks for providing that last push.

Another example of disinformation and fear mongering. I spent hours trying to explain to people this would not impact them but they all thought the gov’t was adding extra tax to them. People of modest means were galvanized to fury over it.

It took me 50 years and this conversation to understand you are spot on and it’s very sad.

I had a colleague at work tell me he thought DEI had gone too far. I was completely shocked seeing as he is gay and a minority but then he explained that the company had hired too many women in high positions 🤯.

Statistic Canada found more than 13,700 kilometres (!!!) of asbestos cement water pipes across the country. I asked doctors, concerned citizens, and govt about it for @nationalobserver.com:

A lab researcher in a white coat and blue gloves is pipetting a sample in a laboratory, with glass beakers and chemical containers blurred in the background. A microscope is positioned on the right side of the image. A link preview caption reads: “Yale study places long COVID among an extensive history of post-acute infection syndromes.” The link source is labmate-online.com.

Scientists at Yale say long COVID is part of a “long-established family of post-acute infection syndromes.” The biggest challenge is understanding its “underlying pathobiology.” They were “surprised” how often children are affected, noting kids are also vulnerable to “long-term effects.”

Keeps teachers and kids healthy and in the classroom. Saves cost on healthcare, supply teaching and parents don’t need to try to figure out how to take time off to watch their kids.
I guess since they don’t generate profits yet, they are disposable.

Was fortunate to have no notable side effects. Shingles is awful and not willing to risk it. Also, the extra benefits of reduced dementia risk. www.idsociety.org/news--public...

It was the hardest thing I ever did and I thought for sure it would be easier with the second and it was NOT!

Also, I had one year maternity leave with each child. I could not imagine trying to breast feed, pump and go to work.

Why I’m in court over COVID vaccines — and why every Ontarian should care I appeared in court to appeal a decision ordering me to repay $600,000 for the COVID-19 vaccinations I delivered to my community.

www.thewhig.com/opinion/why-... This is a poor use of resources and quite frankly disgusting. If we treat people this way, nobody will go that extra mile next time.

Yup, and the amount of validation and testing that needs to be performed on a new facility is crazy. It takes years and at the end of the day, these companies are for profit so they will not continue to invest. Once that talent is gone, it’s very hard to replace.

COVID-19 Conversations COVID Discussions is a virtual kitchen table discussion series, where YOU, the public and experts come together to chat about everything COVID-19 related.

Hi everyone,

Drs. Tara Moriarty and Stef Christensen will be holding a special Data Discussion session on Dec 9th to provide information on and answer questions about COVID-19 testing devices and methods in advance of the holiday season.

They will blame the lock downs, the ‘left’ and all the vaccines that came before.

Yes, in the end everyone will suffer. Demand destruction will decimate manufacturing capacity.

It’s weird. The boys are all being babied and coddled well into adulthood and the girls are taught to be independent and capable. It’s no wonder the girls don’t want to have anything to do with them.

It’s sad how ignorant society (and me) is until affected. Thanks for the reminder.

I read Everything is Tuberculosis and it was pretty shocking although it really shouldn’t have been. It really isn’t new information but in the distractions of everyday life and the competing media noise, I stopped thinking about public health outside of my direct community.

This is the best visual representation presented to 🇺🇸 ( 🇨🇦 pay attention too) from a Swedish author as to how lawmakers keep you distracted with partisan politics when this is a global class war, and we’re losing.

Sometimes I wonder if these reactions are a lazy way to add content. That and the belief that some people are perpetually offended. I’ve started trying to ignore those reactions in my daily life, like when people mutter under their breath for a reaction. I pretend I didn’t hear.
