#mitigations

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The enabling legislation for the pandemic liability amnesty in BC was revoked in Dec 2022.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."

@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

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 💜 #Masking #Mitigations #Maskup #Covid #Immunocompromised.

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 . 🙂

🚨 #GhostChildren

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.
