@rnaguru @NatLauter Your info is the reason I ever open twitter anymore. I'll look for you on BlueSky!

@NatLauter I'm there. Just haven't posted. Crossposting these plots not easy and requires dedicated time to test.

#Ottawa SARS-CoV-2 wastewater trends as of: November 17. Pandemic highlighting past year (A), blue line is weekly average; Past year highlighting last 2 months (B); Past 2 months (C), inferred case incidence (D), and Reff (E) determined with github.com/phac-nml-phrsd…

Stop scrolling, take a deep breath, and use the next few minutes to escape to a place where the air is sweet. 💛💚

@LakotaMan1 Your future self is cheering you on, as he smiles with pride in accepting his top grade. You've got this! You already know what to do!

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has confirmed highly pathogenic avian influenza subtype H5N1 in the City of Abbotsford, British Columbia, in commercial poultry.

@ABetterOttawa Trucking routes through the city pass through what used to be small villages/trucks have increased dramatically as the city has grown. I.e. across limited bridges to cross the Rideau river & get into various parts of the city. Are there even enough bridges as new homes are built?

@D_Bone I don't have the same problems as you, but in case it helps, I'm learning to check in with my body after cardio and gauge whether I can proceed fully, proceed partially, or need to rest. Remember this: you have to slow down to speed up! Sending you a wave of solidarity!

@YOW_Weather Thanks - that probably explains the flash we saw looking north when checking for northern lights! It looked like horizontal lightning!

Surprise thunderstorms kicking through Ottawa during the next hour.

One thing I learned is that there is a load of resources out there for people (patients, docs, others) to learn about long COVID (aka Post-Covid Condition). I thought I'd share four. The first, of course, is @LongCOVIDWebCA. longcovidweb.ca 2/

From a randomized trial, proof that the @Novavax booster induces less acute side effects and more sustained levels of anti-spike IgG antibodies than mRNA shots @moderna_tx @pfizer journalofinfection.com/article/S0163-… Right panel represents anti-spike IgG unadjusted fold reductions at baseline, 7, 28 and 84 days

Test positivity rate is challenging to interpret. One way to look at it is if you have serious enough flu-like symptoms to seek care in a clinical setting, how likely is your problem flu, RSV, or COVID? Current ON data suggest that there's an appreciable chance that it's COVID.

Canada quietly slips out a report saying that one in six people who've had Covid have experienced an ongoing impact on their daily activities. 👀😮

@YOW_Weather 175 days. Tough one to guess! What a great gardening season, though! Tomatoes are still going strong...

How long can we go? The people who guess the correct number of days (not the date), will get free subscription to my real-time snowfall alert system this winter. Contest closes at 10pm tonight.

Here is a summary of the best and most challenged school scenarios for comparison. (Sorry, we don't have alt text yet for our tables but we're working on it.)

Learned so much from this post! I'd forgotten the significance of a variant starting with an X.

@DrGorfinkel I really hope @GovCanHealth can renegotiate their current contract with @Novavax so that we can procure and receive this vaccine. Happy to have found your account to follow! 👍 😀

Health Canada received a submission from Novavax on June 26, 2024. After a thorough scientific review Health Canada has approved the company’s JN.1 Variant vaccine. Learn more: ow.ly/2OJK50Tr7uz #Covid19
