Really interesting use of data, integrating what is known about COVID transmission into activity tracked during a video-recorded clinical skills competition in Hong Kong, to model the interplay between mitigations and behaviour.

When we had society wide covid mitigations, we eliminated an entire strain of flu.
Now we’re in the “you do you” era and seeing an aggressive and early start to flu season.
Three children in Ottawa have died.

COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

So far there is no evidence that this did not occur.
The claim "RFK Jr was not bitten by a zombie" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr was indeed bitten by a zombie.

So let me get this straight—
If my staff wears better protection, it’s a “regulatory issue.”
But if they breathe contaminated air, it’s “no problem.”
We literally regulate protection more than exposure.

1. I've long contended that austerity doesn't save money. It merely transfers costs from one group (the very rich, who would otherwise pay more tax) to others. Last night was a powerful reminder of that. Before I go further, I should say I’m fine. Just a black eye, cuts & bruises, no serious harm. 🧵
