22. Remember the flu waves in 2020/21?
No, because they didn't happen, despite not acting against airborne transmission.
The rebound wave in 2022 could have been mitigated by ramping up vax, masks, clean air, but no, that's not "normal".
There's no humane sick pay either.

21. Ultimately, we need Govt, public health, and public opinion to cause a paradigm shift where we start taking infectious diseases seriously.
Why do we tolerate "winter pressures" EVERY YEAR?! They are predictable AND preventable. The investment would more than pay for itself...

btw print media turnaround time means that since we spoke, Canada did lose its measles elimination status! Also likely to happen in the US. COVID denialism continues to fuel grim failures in disease prevention & eradication.
Canada loses measles elimination status, with US on track to follow
The country hasn't been able to curb an outbreak of more than 5,000 cases over the last year, while US cases are at a 33-year high.
