A tonne of mask articles out on UK media this morning.

Must be bad there.

And likely reflects North Americas near future.

This is the best mask article in the bunch. www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

Just overheard convo betw 2 HCWs about loads of people cancelling appts due to respiratory illness.They said they don’t want to get sick so are sanitizing everything. I sooo wanted to tell them that clean air would probably help more. Public health is failing us. 😷

More like “surrender” deals…
In 2021, Jared Kushner claimed he was leaving politics. Instead, armed with billions in funding from Middle East autocrats, he is brokering “peace” deals for Trump that double as real estate ventures and positioning himself at the center of Trump's media ambitions. None of it is an accident.
The Disturbing Return Of The Prodigal Son-In-Law
Jared Kushner is so back, and what he's up to should concern us all.

Unbearably hard, yes. I try not to think of all that I’m missing, and carry on.
I applaud you for blaming the right people. 🙏 🎯

Public Health leaves us with two choices: play Russian roulette (no idea of the odds), or be forced to live in an increasingly isolated bubble.

Even with a daily reminder of how COVID can end your functional life, this is unbearably hard. Needlessly.

“Our findings redefine SARS-CoV-2 infection as a condition of long-lasting immune compromise.”

Putting it all together:
- covid is airborne
- people are getting it repeatedly
- it’s wrecking immune systems

Please: mask, ventilate, filtrate, isolate, immunize.

I’ve never seen Calgary voting lineups before like this! My husband had 8 people ahead of him first thing and it took him 40 minutes to vote. I’m told my wait will be 80 minutes. What’s up?!?!

The human heart is

The size of a

Fist

Clenched.

Indefatigable, and infallible

On pain of death.

And yet it skips

At the most curious

Times,

To remind us of its finite

Beats.

And perhaps to attend us

To use them both wisely

And with abandon.

To live or to sleep?

The question people ask here
on nights like this.

Kyiv was under a massive drone attack.
Three people were killed,
a baby among them. 💔

I chose to sleep.
This time, I was lucky.
