Where did all the car seat safety moms go? Remember the ones who wanted to call Child Services if you buckled the chest clip too high? 🙄 Where TF did all those self-righteous mommas go? If they actually cared about child safety I sure hope they're as dedicated to airborne precautions.
This and this again.

Parents are legally obligated to keep their child safe.

What happens when they harm or kill a child with an infectious disease?

Why this question hasn’t been asked and laws developed is beyond me.

Thank you @toshiakima.bsky.social

Why are ER docs failing their COVID patients?

In a recent study, providers failed to give two-thirds of eligible patients prescriptions for Paxlovid. Notably, an emergency room visit had a five-times lower odds of treatment.

Thank you TODAY for covering the current COVID surge. I really appreciate so many sharing the COVID wastewater charts! It shows that, contrary to the cynical narrative of "pandemic fatigue," many still care & want to know the data so they can protect their communities.

Four years into this and we can't keep duct-taping in-room filter solutions for clean air. It's just filter(s) and a fan.

We need open-source, optimized design, certifiable product, efficient, repairable using commodity filters and commodity components. /1

This #CBC article incorrectly states that the pandemic lasted three years, ending last May.

The link they use to cite that?

It is another CBC article talking about #WHO declaring the end of the global health emergency. Not the end of the #pandemic...

Antivaxxers bringing back measles is a reason to worry about way more than just measles
For decades, scientists couldn't figure out why the measles vaccine didn't just lower death rates from measles, but from other diseases too. Now we know it's because measles causes immune amnesia. Measles resets the immune system. It forgets how to fight every single pathogen it's ever encountered.
