My friend brought the phone over on the weekend to brainstorm ideas. They're very good at solving problems but know that I also frequently alter or modify things to make them work better for my own needs.
Watching the re-enactment of the elder's actions when attempting to make a call was particularly fascinating AND informative.

What would an adequate #Covid response look like?
“If ‘Covid is here to stay’ and ‘we have to learn to live with Covid,’ why would worker protections from infection be temporary?”

@BleepingComputer @cisacyber coincidentally released a #cybersecurity advisory earlier today on RansomHub with TTPs, IOCs, and mitigation steps.

A glimpse of the consequences of #Alberta's current interference with #healthcare:
A friend's elder is in an #Edmonton hospital now with a cascade of serious issues. Today a feeding tube was finally able to be placed, but the ward, built for fewer beds and currently crammed with extras, has NO POWER SOURCE AVAILABLE for this medical equipment.
Plus they've now added an active #covid patient to this jammed-full ward. Zero #mitigations in place.
Does liability insurance cover this?
For many, liabilities for the transmission of a potentially disabling disease were written out of your policy years ago. Read yours..
Waiver might not work.

The enabling legislation for the pandemic liability amnesty in BC was revoked in Dec 2022.
"Just a reminder that even if your province elects a far-right, anti-mask, anti-vax government, health leaders are still responsible for protecting staff and patients from a preventable infectious disease."

Which solution will Americans try first to deal with more frequent flooding resulting from climate change?
For folks building systems with a more paranoid #Linux #kernel, do you use any "slub_debug" features beyond "slub_debug=ZF" (redzoning and verification) for security flaw #mitigations ?
e.g. "slub_debug=P" has been superseded by "init_on_alloc=1 init_on_free=1"...
The flags are listed here:

Boyanton et al, 2022: Supposing that a concurrent diagnosis of #pharyngitis & presence of the microbe constitutes a case of group A #Streptococcus pharyngitis (GAS-P), after early #COVID19 #mitigations, GAS-P diagnoses came down by 81.6%.

@Empathy1st There’s a swarm here already, & until we address air quality, and preemptively wearing #masks, reducing the public health services load, #variants will outmanoeuvre #Vaccine development..
..we’re reaching the point where we have no alternative but to also examine the basis of our immune systems aren’t we? Like, lower intestine walls & their interactions with microbes, with a view to immune fortification. An extra layer on the ‘Swiss cheese’ model of #mitigations. #Fibre #prebiotic
#China is unwise to relax #COVID19 #SarsCov2 #Mitigations at a time when the virus is deadlier than ever and is set to cause catastrophic loss of life—if not from initial infection, then certainly from illnesses caused or exacerbated by the disease.

Is #Novavax after 2 #mRNA shots a miracle cure? No, it isn’t. BUT if you put other #NPI #mitigations in place, will it help you take in more #viralInhalationDose before you get sick? #Anecdote #IMHO yes, I believe it does & the #science seems to back it up too
I’m still what the entire
would call #absurd in my caution, but when there’s an #endothelium destroying #airborneVirus #SARS2 floating out there, is there such a thing? #AirbornePrecautions #begBorrowSteal #vaccine
Anyone who wants to see some #masked faces. I know you may feel entirely alone, enraged, scared and heartbroken over society abandoning you (especially vulnerable groups of people, and those who try to protect them).
That things are upside down. They are. You're valid and reacting understand to a horrific situation. Just know not everyone has. Hope this helps some people

Holiday Preparations
So the holidays are coming, my parents are planning to invite some people (I was totally against it) but I can’t do anything now. I am looking for ways to make gatherings safer.
The ventilation in our house is quite good. We have open spaces we can use. I wanna know how you plan to celebrate with #Covid #mitigations. 
There are children from high risk families (some with low / no immunity to #Covid) stuck perpetually at start of the pandemic.
Choices stark between:
#educationANDlives (both human rights)
#Mitigations in schools have gone.
Doors & windows CLOSED due to energy costs.
Families facing prosecutions
Childen without learning
Children unable to take exams
Our children are locked out of education.
We need #SafeSchools.
Please read (months in the making)
