All the reports say: 10 Thai and 1 Filipino ‘workers’ were released

Nothing more but each one has a family, friends and -

I’ll stop and say seriously people, what are you thinking?

If you haven’t been to Thailand or the Philippines - go, understand and never call them just ‘workers’

A huge thank you to the Coronary Care unit, 10 floor of VGH Blackmore Pavilion for the excellent care during my stay. So nice and all were masked!

A small town mayor in Alabama killed himself after a conservative web site published pictures of him in women’s clothing and make-up. The closet is a hard place to be, and outing anyone can be very harmful. We need a society where it’s okay to be who you want to be if it doesn’t hurt anyone else.

This may be the most important piece of journalism in the entire pandemic. Brilliant detective work by scientists; compellingly told.

Yes, swabbing nose, further in nasal cavity, inside cheeks and throat is more effective than just swabbing one area when testing for Covid.

Also, RAT tests don’t usually show up positive until 4th day of feeling ill, so don’t stop at 1 negative test, please.
Me: I feel like death warmed up. But I’ve taken 3 tests, all negative.
Doc: It’s probably flu. We’re seeing lots of cases right now.
Hubs: You’re really not yourself. Take a fourth test.

'Cochrane ignored this epidemiological evidence because it didn't meet its rigid standard. I have called this approach “methodological fetishism,” when scientists fixate on a preferred methodology and dismiss studies that don't follow it. Sadly, it's not unique to Cochrane.'
What Went Wrong with a Highly Publicized COVID Mask Analysis?
The Cochrane Library, a trusted source of health information, misled the public by prioritizing rigor over reality
