@suchnerve 6. Doesn't hang out in pubs because you need a SipValve to drink in a mask... heh...

Staying single is pretty easy when you have standards like:
1. Already consistently 😷s in shared air (I don’t believe people who say they’d start for me)
2. Doesn’t make me feel like a therapist or parent
3. Turns me on
4. Feels energizing, not draining to talk to
5. Is a man

@BirdieBittern No argument here, but I got norovirus with =no= direct human contact. I had had a food delivery, much of it boxed or wrapped. 12 hrs later... puking. Too late, I learned that NV is highly efficient at surviving, still active, on surfaces: 21-45 days! Now deliveries get alcoholed

It appears that airborne viruses can be transmitted even in the great outdoors!
Dozens of hikers have fallen ill on California section of the Pacific Crest Trail
"there have been dozens of cases of illness, with "seven to 12 confirmed norovirus cases"

@ohegarty Lucky you! 😍😍😍 Escher!

Guys. I'm going to the Montreal Escher exhibit. <Swoons in 2D>

@VeronicaAthie @Engineer_Wong @adreamofpassion @ukhadds Any UVC product will be better than none, to help protect your baby -- plus, lights are silent, where air purifiers are not. Caution: UV is low radiation, but aim the beam of light over the baby, not at the baby. Still part of the 'breathing zone'.
English
@ES_MCS_lifer @Engineer_Wong @adreamofpassion @ukhadds So happy you did protect yourself with the UVC torches!!!
I´m afraid I can´t get Nukit products in Mexico 😢
English
Question for infection control/aerosol specialists: in a shared hospital room (2 cribs, no curtains, unmasked staff in/out), where is the best placement for a HEPA air purifier for a baby: near the crib? between the two cribs? elevated vs floor? @ukhadds @Engineer_Wong
English
@VeronicaAthie @Engineer_Wong @adreamofpassion @ukhadds I am immunocompromised so my system is likely as functional as a newborn's. When I was in hospital last year, ward room of 4 beds, I kept these on my rolling bed table -- NUKIT UVC torches. Set of 4, 2 charging in bathroom, 2 on the table bathing me in UC light.
English
@Engineer_Wong @adreamofpassion @ukhadds I trust your expertise, and still, my motherly instint would suggest having the outlet of clean air as close as comfortably possible to the baby's breathing area. Does that make any sense?
English
@DrMarjorieRobe1 Wowzers! You are rockin the electric blue!
English
@BarryHunt008 Congrats to B.C! Last night I checked the Public Health ON site -- no Novavax in 2026.
English
🙌👍🥂🎉❤️🥳🍾👏👏👏
!!! BC is getting Novavax !!!
🙌👍🥂🎉❤️🥳🍾👏👏👏
DoNoHarm BC@DoNoHarmBC
‼️ We have good news! ‼️ We have confirmed that Novavax will be made available again in BC, for the fall vaccination campaign. Thank you to everyone who sent letters, called their officials, and advocated for this very important win!

@Anji2019 @drseanmullen This is the UK London Hospital, 1910 -- 5/5 transom windows open, 4/5 sash windows open
English
@drseanmullen I was masked on public transport the other day and opened a window, to stares of amazement by other passengers!
English
The most underrated public health intervention of the next decade is going to be opening a window.

@mssinenomine OMG! way to make us all feel like society's garbage! Just rent a commercial storage unit and kill people in there.
English
"Dignity" is one of those words that gets thrown around without giving much thought to its meaning. Which allowed "Dying with Dignity" to assert and brand being killed by MAiD "dignity" unchallenged. They should make this their header. A dumpster should be their logo.
Gabrielle Peters 👩🏻🦽@mssinenomine
"Dying with Dignity" apparently means being killed by a physician (who, *this time* brought all the 'correct' killing meds with him), inside a holding facility where cadavers are prepared for transport to funeral homes, after being 'assessed' outside a Tim Hortons in London, Ont
English
@mssinenomine Yes, this is pernicious. He sounds exactly like the enabling 'conversation' we've read about, depressed teen with their ChatGPT 'friend'. Except a doctor is required by the law to discuss helplines, support groups and therapy -- BEFORE they start the sales pitch on MAiD.
English
This MAiD doctor sounds like a predator teacher I had in high school.

@ukhadds @beansprouts_mom @WHO @barryjmjones @BarryHunt008 @jljcolorado @EvonneTCurran @_CatintheHat @LazarusLong13 Good point. The Mt Everest analogy, no? the pinnacle is the remarkable achievement, the other levels -- not so much. But, as the NIOSH & OSHA perspectives show, "value" is in the eye of the beholder. All factors at all levels have value, so should we make a Venn diagnram?
English
@ES_MCS_lifer @beansprouts_mom @WHO @barryjmjones @BarryHunt008 @jljcolorado @EvonneTCurran @_CatintheHat @LazarusLong13 It does seem like a pyramid is just the wrong shape entirely.

@Ninawildflower Very cool guitar! I'm a staunch fan, 3556 miles from London, England -- no clue where you and yours are.
English
This is my new guitar. Their name is "Miles" and we have played one gig together.
The closest audience member was 100 miles away. Most were between 400 and 4000 miles away. One was 11'000 miles away.
I'm in England. How many miles away are you?

@ukhadds @beansprouts_mom @WHO @barryjmjones @BarryHunt008 @jljcolorado @EvonneTCurran @_CatintheHat @LazarusLong13 According to AIHA, NIOSH is focused on workplace risk as a whole...so it views indiv PPE as least effective. By contrast, OSHA is focused on worker risks, so workplace elimination is 'aspirational'. PPE is the most effective way to control risk to workers.
English
@beansprouts_mom @WHO @barryjmjones @BarryHunt008 @jljcolorado @EvonneTCurran @_CatintheHat @LazarusLong13 Aren’t pyramids usually the other way around?

@ukhadds And, lest we forget, as astrophysicist endorses GMO seeds and food products, claiming they are perfectly safe. Uh... on the Moon? Mars?
English
@JOHNJOHNSTONED I’ve always been surprised with the certainty that epidemiologists talk about everything.
English
Epidemiologists should not advise on how a pathogen spreads….
Lazarus Long@LazarusLong13
The "epidemiology" of Ebola tells us that it's not airborne. You've heard this over and over. What drives it? The questions on the contact tracing form. Quick 🧵.
English
@Globalbiosec Is that a mask dispenser-?! What a great idea!
English
Hospitals in Japan: cannot enter without a mask. Security at front door stops unmasked ppl to protect patients, staff and visitors from #airborne pathogens.

@ohegarty @HitTheRoadca Safe travels, Orla! FWIW, my pilgrimage took place 50 years ago by CPR, CNR w stopovers everywhere, Atlantic to Pacific. Fantastic time! A bit sad now that I didn't visit the Arctic too -- see it when it was still encased in ice.
English
Damn it was good to be reminded of this pilgrimage I did across Canada with my pup tent, sleeping bag and propane burner @HitTheRoadca. Especially because I'm on another pilgrimage across Canada atm 😍
English
@mssinenomine The trouble is we're blindsided by these callous, cruel assaults. We shouldn't be, at this late date. So we need to brace for it, to prepare a sharp reply and rehearse it until it's second nature. When we're ready to fight back, bullies see that and step off. They're cowards.
English
The way the option of being killed by the state's killing service is raised in casual conversation with strangers has become normalized in Canada.
English
There are Canadians on here who reply to people's posts about their dx by telling them about their relative who had the same and decided to get MAiD.
Some of the people discussing their dx aren't even Canadian, nor do they indicate a desire to give up - often the opposite.
English
@DrMarjorieRobe1 Said it before, I'll say it again -- you look terrific! I know this is just a snap -- a moment in time and you might slump in a chair, utterly spent, 10 mins later, but we stalwart supporters appreciate the effort to record these energetic moments! Mask, no mask...whatever.

My immune system is compromised due to the fact l contacted #Covid March of 2020 at my place of employment
Indeed God spared my life and l am truly grateful,
I do SMILE just behind my mask 😷
AskLou@Ask_Lou
@DrMarjorieRobe1 Take off the mask and breathe the air, look into the sky and thank the Lord. Smile and you will feel better. God gave you an immune system, be grateful for it and use your joy to turn it up. Peace. ✌️ 🙏
