I’ve also survived a fire front jumping over the fire truck when I was a volunteer firefighter. You don’t forget that feeling in a hurry . Trucks are set up with sprinkler systems over the cab to keep firefighters alive .

In-center hemodialysis tied to 50% to 85% higher #COVID infection rates than at-home procedure

During surges, the differences in case rates between in-center and home patients were more apparent than during non-surge weeks for all variant periods.

In this article they talk about how the phone alert to leave arrived after the fire, which is TERRIFYING. And how the fires stopped/turned just before he nursing home, who would have need trucks and buses to evacuate residents and how much time that would have taken.

This is fantastic journalism. We will need to adapt how we respond to fast -moving bush and grass fires, shelters rather than trying to escape.

No time to warn or to prepare: Natimuk met the fire of our future
The anatomy of the Natimuk fire offers a glimpse into a new and faster kind of bushfire — and the growing vulnerability of communities as climate change fuels dangerous conditions.

Thanks for flagging this up! Like Ian, I was disappointed to see it was just a model and not real world data. The sensor is really the key here. If we can get them to work that quick, that’d be amazing. I just think we’re not there yet. As you say, we’re improving, but 2 min is quick.

Interesting! Instead of CO2 setpoints for HVAC control to minimize pathogens, this proposed system uses pathogen air quality (PAQ) sensors.

First cup of tea in the morning, walking my dog in the park, a cat on my shoulder while I read, smoked salmon chowder made with fish caught and smoked by a good friend.

You know those scenes in Star Wars, between the action parts… where people are working in fields, or having a meal…

That’s me right now. The Empire might be striking back, but I’ve spent the morning and afternoon out in storms, mending stuff, and now I am home, in cosy slippers, making a meal.

PHAC wastewater data shows that covid is high in Ontario right now. Yet public health almost entirely silent on the levels of covid, the risks it poses, and how to protect yourself and your community.

High levels are a public health failure and a significant risk for our future.

Gosh.

Right.

I want a PhD, a unicorn, my husbands chocolate digestive supply, a flying carpet, my neighbours paddling pool, and that awesome motorbike I saw… green Ninja I think.

That’s how it works now right?

What happened to FY3 locums?

Rate cuts and a dearth of shifts have left resident doctors with few choices amid an under-employment crisis.

You know what the weirdest thing is?

They think they are leaving us behind…

Maybe it feels like they are leaving us behind too…

But actually we are desperately throwing out life savers and trying to pull them onto the life boat, but they are pulling us into the water instead.

I believe Dr. Noor is correct. Our wellbeing & survival is paramount if we hope to effect any meaningful change. We need to protect ourselves as best we can so we can help protect our people and so on. Fascism preys on & feeds off of any perceived weakness. I’m rooting for you and your family.❤️‍🩹 /End

Applied at another online tutoring center. I really hope something comes of it. I really would like to teach again and be able to feel useful in life again. I hope my doctor clears me to return to the classroom at least for a few more years. I miss my old life and routine so much. I felt so happy.

You all know that disease has been used as a tool of oppression throughout history, and that includes yesterday and today.

Fight oppression. Fight disease.

I don’t get how sovereign nations get into a “row” with X.

I mean. We have borders right. We don’t usually let illegal materials through.

What’s the debate?

There are few things more important in a marriage than being on the same page with respect to cautions. So many relationships have been damaged by this disparity. Very challenging to navigate.
