I had a best friend who recently had a loss in their family. I'm feeding her cats while she is away.
Would it be weird if I tidied up her apartment while I'm there? Not that it's dirty! She had to leave in a rush to catch a flight. So like wash the dirty dishes in the sink, wipe down the counters. That type of thing.
I feel like if I lost a family member, coming back to a tidy home would take so much weight off my shoulders.

The study finds that scores on an executive function test dropped dramatically after the pandemic began.

March 3: After Covid is officially out in the US.
3+ years of reporting.
Hundreds of interviews.
2,000+ studies, books & reports reviewed.
The pandemic didn’t simply end. It evolved — into #LongCovid, chronic disease, fractured trust, and lessons we still haven’t absorbed.

To my fellow physicians who were there - during COVID:
We do not need to re-litigate reality with anonymous avatars.
We cancelled surgeries.
We converted wards.
We ran oxygen at capacity.
Some hospitals reopened dormant wings just to expand beds.
Others were wall-to-wall COVID.
We watched patients desaturate in real time.
Now the revisionists arrive.
“They were empty.”
“You’re lying.”
“That’s AI.”
“You’re not real.”
"You killed them."
When argument fails, they erase. When erasure fails, they accuse.
This is historical vandalism performed by people who were wrong then and are wrong now. People who mostly sit on their chats and convince one another.
They will be wrong tomorrow.
I've learned that I do not owe time to those who have built an identity around denial.
History does not bend because a username demands it.

@dog_rates 12/10?! I think they both deserve better than that!

This teenager saved his neighbor's dog from drowning in a freezing pond. This is Bernard. His family contacted emergency services right away, but high school senior Hugh Pinneo got to Bernard first. Hugh said he's "just glad I acted that day and saved the dog's life." We are too. 12/10 for all

As someone who never stopped physically going to work during COVID - I side with Ontario workers who want hybrid working conditions. I'm an ER doc - and of course I need to physically go to work - just like a truck driver. 👇👇
Forcing people to go to the office 5 days a week is stupid policy. Making them sit in transit 3 hours a day is stupid policy. They can do meetings online. They can decide when a face to face is needed with their manager. They can go in when required.
Hybrid conditions is better for workers because they also happen to be human beings. They have parents and children that need to be cared for. They have a dog that appreciates a noon-hour walk. The cost of transit chips away at their income and puts them into a zombie state.
Even though 99% of my work life is seeing patients I need to attend hospital meetings and those have almost all moved to hybrid. I can fold clothes, I can walk our dogs (which is good for my health) and I can make a home lunch while attending a meeting with headphones on. I can make our kid supper. I value those things as well. Making me commute 3 hours for a 2 hour meeting is policy insanity.
The policy position of the Ontario government and other employers at the end of the day seems mean and punitive to me. Yah - you have the right to force people to the office that need a job - but it's advancing a policy that feels like a jerk.

@mistressdivy when exactly did the pandemic end?

My close friend’s brother collapsed while walking yesterday morning. For nearly 15–20 minutes, no one noticed. He was brought dead to the hospital. Cause: heart attack.
He had a healthy lifestyle: regular exercise, clean diet, no habits.
Can't understand what explains this. Life is unpredictable!
