πŸ’” If I was a HCW, I’d have to quit because of moral distress.The only reason the general public like me know about how horrendous the HC/ER situation really is is because of social media/people like you. So individuals will get blamed & the general public won’t hear about the systemic chaos.

Does wearing a face mask stop you catching flu? Experts give verdict Wearing a mask is inconvenient, but not as inconvenient as lockdowns

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. 😷

β€œOur 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.

AI bot recorded doctors’ meeting, sent patient info to current and former hospital staff, watchdog says The transcription tool recorded the meeting on behalf of a physician who no longer worked at the hospital

Let this serve as a cautionary tale about AI in any environment, let alone in healthcare.
And the issues we will face as individuals use agentic AI tools.
It’s high time Min Solomon take an interest in developing regulations around AI, at least with public

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?!?!

Darren Markland Obituary | Edmonton Journal Remembering View Darren Markland's complete obituary, share memories, and explore 8 tribute posts from the community.

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. πŸ’”

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