UGH!! 😣
My son currently has the flu — I thought that he’d evaded it — been a full week out school and no early symptoms. 😷
We all got the flu shot, so hoping that this will be a quick & mild case. 💉

Most of these infections were caused by subclade K, a mutation of influenza A, which appears to evade immunity.

Now add 6 years of unmitigated infections of an airborne virus known to dysregulate our immune system, & #BirdFlu waiting to happen -

If I were paid to do this job, I'd be in the media and on social media every day.
I'd say:
1)get vaccinated for covid and the flu.
2) wear a respirator (N95) mask in crowded indoor spaces like public transit.
3) keep your holiday get-togethers safe by keeping things well ventilated and filtered.

This death was unnecessary and horrific. There is no way anyone in Alberta should experience this. This is an example of Danielle Smith & #UCP at work. I wrote a letter to Smith re: my husband's cancer surgery. In 3 months the wait time went from 6 months to 9. 1/2

Maybe this potentially life-saving info ought not to be hidden behind the Toronto Star's paywall, so here is the key takeaway: there's a panel at each end of each subway station with a large red button to cut power (you have to break the glass) and an emergency phone to contact transit control.
