Why was Wayne Gretzky the honourary Canadian captain? His alliance appears to have shifted to favour the US. That's his right to choose, but we should have had a different honourary captain.

it’s fun to have new thoughts when you’re travelling the world like “wow this is pretty!” or “if my country is taken over will i return home or stay abroad as an asylum seeker?” but in the meantime there’s nothing to do but buy fun pants and see cool temples

anyways bangkok was super neat

Interesting, and may explain the chronic cough many people end up with?

Some cool images of particles being captured by an N95 respirator. "The 'big'' crystals are about 1.5 microns. The smaller captured particles are as small viruses like COVID." ( threadreaderapp.com/thread/18654... ). 🧪🧵1/

Why can you still #smell things wearing an effective #mask?

You can smell some nasty things like smoke and rotten eggs even with fit tested #N95 #respirators which block tiny viruses/bacteria because the smell molecules have atomic masses that are 17 million times less than a #virus. 🧪🧵1/ #COVID

New rule:
ANYONE that uses the word toxic about a substance or exposure must include at which dose and route of exposure and whether that applies to humans.

Yes -every media outlet - I am looking at you too.

Example:
water is TOXIC if you drink 5.2 liters at once.

It’s a week minimum for appointments for blood work at LifeLabs.

And no real options for faster service, except … sending patient to Emergency.

IT IS UNACCEPTABLE.

If private, for profit corps are going to be a part of our public system, they need to meet public system needs.
Patients reporting that they can’t get in for basic bloodwork because there are no appointments and drop in can be many hours of waiting. Delays in labs is not safe when I need to see the effects of a med or response to therapy. Some are being given dates 4 plus weeks out.

Nah. I've got all the cancer I need right now. I didn't even have to pay for a test! 😆🤣

So much YIKES! #overdiagnosis & underdiagnosis with false positives & negatives, huge knock-on effects for strained system with ??benefit.

Learning from Theranos and 23and me, beware if it sounds too good and/or a corporation owns your DNA 🧬

Not ready for prime time!
A blood test that could spot cancer early is for sale in Canada. Would you pay $2,099 for it? | CBC News
It’s an idea that thrills cancer researchers: a blood test that has the potential to screen for a sweeping number of cancers before symptoms appear.

Joy surrounds us constantly- we need to adjust our perspective to see it. When we shift our viewpoint, like focusing a camera lens, we notice the beauty & connection in many moments. By cultivating awareness & seeking positivity, we discover that joy is abundant when we're open to experiencing it.

Am advising everyone to keep lungs healthy w flu and covid boosters, and wear a mask!
