It was good to gather briefly with old friends this morning. Darren touched so many lives. The longer way home was needed.

I need to say a few words about Darren.
He was, in many ways, the doctor all doctors needed to be. Compassionate, caring, an advocate and a poet. We were all privliged to have him in our world.
And we are poorer for his departure from it.
Wherever you are, I hope there are paddles and pedals.

If we'd started upgrading air filtration and ventilation in 2020 when we knew COVID was airborne we could have saved lives, billions in hospitalizations, and prevented thousands of life altering long COVID cases.

It clarifies the legal status both of Surgical Masks and Respiratory Protective Equipment (eg FFP3, reusables, powered hoods). It blows away the myth contained in IPC Manuals and many other places by people who would have us believe FRSMs protect us against Covid-19, flu (etc)

Somehow this got buried in the thread, but it's important.
In 2022, there was a profound need for reliable COVID data in Canada, as reporting withered.
This although excess deaths in Canada in 2022 were nearly as high as Canadian deaths in all 5 years of WWII combined.
