Are they not tired of this game? It was fixed the same day it was called out. They know, they’re just hoping someone will stop reminding them. I’m tired of this game.

We have masks and rapid tests available at the following locations:

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

When we know better we (should) do better…

Avoid COVID + ALL respiratory illnesses.

Telehealth & remote work were accommodations disabled people spent years fighting for

We were told it “wasn’t possible”

When Covid hit and accommodations were necessary to protect the non disabled?

They were in place overnight

Now they’re taking them away from those who need them most

it’s Science Reporting Navigator day! 🎉

this incredible toolkit from @theopennotebook.bsky.social & @rjionline.bsky.social will help journalists fold science into all kinds of reporting.

as a former local reporter, it was a joy to play a small part in bringing this resource to life. check it out!

WHAT'S NEW THIS WEEK?

About 1 in 60 people in Canada is currently infected (628,000-983,000 infections/week).

The most recent estimate for the United States (Sep 22) is 1 in 57 infected (www.pmc19.com/data/index.php).

ER already overcapacity. Hospitals already over 100% occupancy. We are already in a tight spot and now here comes 8.4x more COVID hospitalizations compared to lowest point in pandemic. Get respirators to people. Clean the air. Communicate better than ‘wash your hands’ for an airborne virus.

I’m glad the recommendations are unequivocal but vaccine rollouts by provinces are far too late. Many in my community have already fallen ill and nursing home outbreaks are well underway. Folks need Covid shots BEFORE schools start up each fall. #covidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne #CovidIsNotSeasonal

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

EVERYONE STOP EVERYTHING Mychal the Librarian is hosting the Reading Rainbow revival!!!

Many, many students sick at UW this week and last. Heard that several students and staff have tested positive for covid.
Please wear a well-fitted mask, especially an N95 or better. Midterm season is approaching and misinfo on vaccines means many think it stops transmission or doesn't work.

It’s interesting how we are asked to justify why there is an English Department at a college but not why there is an athletics program

I think both are valuable but it’s interesting which one is more likely to be on the ropes, again, at a college

Vaccines need to roll out before the start of the school year.

Because I’m starting to see a pattern emerge of “summer flu”* hitting people at the end of August / beginning of September.

Why? Because people catch it on vacation and spread it in school.

*COVID

I agree with Kelly.

From someone specializing in mental health: an anxiety disorder is defined as overreacting to a threat.

Many rationally choose to protect ourselves from an airborne virus by the simple act of wearing a mask when needed. Just like wearing seatbelts makes sense.

#NotAnxious

This is your regular reminder that Covid is airborne.

It’s not over. It’s still killing and disabling people.

It’s a novel virus and we still don’t know the full long term effects, but what we do know is not encouraging.

Wear a mask. Clean the air. Stay home when sick.

Protect one another.

And during all of this, we have fewer disability reporters at national publications than when we started the year.
