I think this still largely holds up: Ontario's problem isn't Chinese EV imports (which will be modest even with today's deal) it's a floundering domestic auto sector and no prospect for sufficient demand for the batteries we want to build. www.tvo.org/article/anal...

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a nasally delivered, antibiotic-inactivated Bordetella pertussis (AIBP) vaccine that NOT ONLY prevents SEVERE disease BUT also CURBS bacterial TRANSMISSION. This NEEDLE-FREE AIBP platform could open the door to new vaccines against other respiratory bacteria.

On the research side, the work offers a template for designing mucosal vaccines that harness tissue resident memory T-cells and IgA. That knowledge will be valuable for researchers tackling other respiratory diseases that continue to evade full control.

There is no virus that “only” causes serious harm in people who are high-risk. And even if there were, it would still be important to protect yourself and others. Please take steps to prevent getting and spreading illness in order to protect your own health and the health of others.

Yes but there has been no action and the post infection risks are to all. This is regardless of age or health status, risk is also cumulative. From a leading long COVID expert. The advice is nowhere from our government.

If you're wondering how the medical community can ignore a disease that causes all of the damage laid out in the thread below, take note of the fact that continuing medical education processes are so outdated and ineffectual that many can't even recognize #longCOVID when they get it themselves.

I haven't seen one single study that shows it's harmless to keep getting Covid again & again. But there are thousands of peer-reviewed studies that document long-term harms
