Everyone likes to talk about the 'six degrees of separation' when it comes to connections to famous people...
...but likes to ignore them when it comes to SARS2 chains of transmission.
We are all connected.
Until we remember this, we can't meaningfully protect anyone.

Did Carney and the Liberals run on an austerity platform?
I don't recall this, but suddenly there's no money for the things we should be "Elbows Up" about. While there's abundant money for the military, surveillance and security.

What we can’t lose sight of in all of this discourse is the fact that they’re targeting Autistic people - just like the Nazis did.
This is a form of eugenics.
Don’t get caught up in the minutiae, and miss the bigger issue at hand.

For example, we know that COVID can cause neurodevelopmental disabilities - if acetaminophen is the only thing a pregnant person can take to reduce pain and fever during infection, is it the medicine or the infection causing them to take the meds?

There are some scientists starting to look into the connection between people with migraine and autism/neurodevelopmental disability
(Migraine, like Autism, also has strong genetic links.)
Suspect that even if acetaminophen was taken for migraine pain, it still wouldn’t be cause of Autism.

We also know that parental illness in months prior to pregnancy is also indicated in higher rates of Autism.
Suspect that it’s underlying genetic likelihood, triggered by viral illness.

I’ve just done a quick glance thru that study.
My question is: were the studies ref’d looking only at Tylenol use, or why the pregnant person was taking it in the first place?
We know that fever & other illness can induce neurodevelopmental disability.
Were they taking Tylenol b/c they were sick?

Literally begging all of you to make the same connection with SARS2/COVID.
The deeper meaning behind "almost no healthy children die of the measles" is that, when children do die of the measles, it's only ever because they were already ill. And the deeper meaning behind that is "well, we can't save 'em all." And that's just...17th century thinking.

So now Trump's regime wants to set up a database to "track" autistic individuals, including accessing highly personal data. Autism is not a "disease" and we definitely don't need to be tracked by any government, historically that doesn't end well for the group being tracked.

It’s a good thing that airplanes and cars can’t go from Ontario to BC, amirite, BC Public Health? 🙃
The situation in Ontario is dire. While the intensity of the spread is decreasing, we are still struggling to contain the outbreak.
I do think cases are under-reported in both countries, and likely far more in the US due to lack of access to free healthcare.
