“This situation has significantly eroded Canada’s position as a global hub for the attraction and retention of research-enabled talent,” #BouchardReport said. “Canada is at serious risk of another brain drain without reinvestment.” globe2go.pressreader.com/art…

1/n Eventually, people will get alarmed by this, or claim it's exaggerated. So here's a short explainer. Yes, repeated covid infection tends to badly age parts of your immune system, causing a deficiency compared to normality. That's the first part.

German Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach: “It is worrying what we observe in people who have had several corona infections. Studies now show very clearly that those affected often have to deal with an incurable immune deficiency”

We need to act as societies. This is a terrible loss, not just of quantity and quality of life directly because of COVID, but an enormous waste of investment we've made in research to improve quantity and quality of life.
We're just burning money and effort.
It's time to change

There's growing concern/talk on #bcpoli Bill 36 that's hard to summarize on Twitter

The conclusion that masks work, and that better masks are needed to address the DOMINANT airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is the consensus of almost 400 international experts in the major DELPHI study led by @JVLazarus in @Nature:

There's nothing quite like the relief of being done marking term papers, although I think I'm going to see the rubric in my sleep for a few days yet.

It's extremely rare for #bcpoli to send a press release late in the day
To get one at 5:57 is exceptional
But that happened a short time ago with the PHO announcing child flu deaths will now be posted weekly

Why keep the public in the dark when the families of two of those children have already let it be known how they died?
For all the obfuscation and deflection we’ve seen during the pandemic, this may be the most shocking and inexcusable #bcpoli omission 6/6

There's a palpable grief about potentially losing this site, but as I find people and add them on Mastodon, I'm getting this weird sense of hope too. Keep being good out there, wherever you end up.
