Une infection à la covid peut être extrêmement grave pour un poupon. Il est donc tout à fait logique que tous les professionnels de la santé qui s’occupent des poupons et de leurs proches portent un masque pour les protéger.

The CBC was created by Conservatives in 1932 to protect Canadian culture from U.S. influence. Now that same party wants to tear it down. Let’s defend what they built—and what still serves us all.

The only public communication from CDC since April 1 has been a single Twitter post promoting RFK Jr., which CDC staff described as “propaganda.” All usual notices, reports, & other forms of public communication - including information about new disease outbreaks in the US - have been blocked by HHS
Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.
Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago

Better a fix than a coyote or, even worse, a pack. In Toronto there are now coyote warnings everywhere including the cemetery where my mother is buried: notices posted by city authorities and shared orally by dog owners on walks and, occasionally, reports of attacks and even deaths of beloved pets.
Good morning. I made a visit to the cemetery yesterday photographing rhododendron. I turned & to my surprise found I was being watched. My fox!

A President who attacks and threatens his critics is not fit to lead a democracy. This use of State-backed intimidation to silence opponents is right out of the #authoritarian playbook. All the US has proven is that a sick democracy can elect a sick authoritarian.

It's one thing to be concerned about death threats for criticizing the current President, it's another to defame a colleague, and it's really something when a bigshot like Seth Ambramson is afraid of a little criticism from a nobody like me.
