There are two deer, a large doe and presumably her yearling, living on @discoverunb.bsky.social's Fredericton campus. I saw them today in the woods above Pacey Dr.'s parking lot, across from the SUB. A young folk took a photo of them, keep your eyes peeled!

Breaking: The US lost 32,000 jobs in November, far worse than expected.

Small businesses were the hardest hit.

A friend with a new baby asked guests to mask in order to hold her baby. A relative refused to mask & broke down in tears about her "restrictions"

As a reminder, babies <6 months have the 2nd highest hospitalization rate from Covid after adults 75+ & are too young to be vaxxed

Look at those flu numbers for Nov 16-22nd! Mask up folks, especially around the elderly and vulnerable 😷

While all governments continue to ignore an injurious & #OngoingPandemic, now in its 7th year, #COVID is still mutating -
Great catch by @snpoehlm.bsky.social. BA.3.2.2 very likely circulating in Kenya & elsewhere in Africa. I'd be very surprised if it is not circulating in every major region of the world by now, albeit at low levels. It is growing and spreading—slowly but surely.

Watching & waiting for recombination.
A BA.3.2.2 sequence from New York (EPI_ISL_20262473) was submitted to GISAID yesterday. Sample collected Nov 17 via airport screening. Travel history: Kenya.

Supports the idea raised by @ryanhisner.bsky.social that this sublineage is circulating widely.

Public health: "We must do something about all this disinformation out there"

Also public health: "Here's a bar of soap to handwash your way out of COVID"

For those that wonder why I still mask, and why I think every psychologist should be screaming from the rooftops about the dangers posed to society by COVID infections.

We can’t handle the requirements of those with special needs NOW. What happens when demand increases?
NEW: A Harvard study found that the children of women who contracted COVID-19 while pregnant may be at an increased risk for autism and other neurodevelopmental diagnoses, raising new concerns about the CDC’s decision to stop recommending the vaccine to pregnant women.

Thank goodness some experts talk about ventilation and masking because these are not on the table in our @govnb.bsky.social healthcare discussions.
Science please!
It’s shaping up to be a rough flu season — time to layer up that protection. 💪

Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

Amazing discussion right now in a small corner of doctor FB about the apparent enshittification of AI scribes. Especially the free versions.

This revolutionary time saver now requires extra time to fact check the note.

Don't lose your note writing skills, friends! Tech will not save us. #medsky

I will never understand why it's so hard for "leaders" to own up to being wrong and learn how to say respirator and airborne then educate. A definite uphill battle with so much mis and disinformation allowed to be given to the public.
From the UK’s governmental COVID inquiry. Pay attention Canada. Please spread this message and hold Canadian decision makers and communicators accountable too. @ipaccanada.bsky.social @govnb.bsky.social
12.40: "... government messaging in all four nations focused for too long on handwashing and failed adequately to communicate the risks associated with airborne transmission."

It's official: The CDC is no longer trustworthy.

Its website contradicts 40+ high-quality studies involving 5.6 MILLION people.

The reason? RFK Jr. is Health Secretary.

This is what happens when politics replaces science.
