Aris Katzourakis Meaghan Kall Paul Lomax Remind me of this tweet (inactive😢) Covid is so infectious it cares more about susceptible or not, not seasonal behaviour. Seasonal behaviour brings a R0=1.5 virus like flu above/below 1 by season. Covid at R0=16 is wildfire. If you behave normally, you reinfect when waning time is up. Welcome to the permademic.

Candas Jane Dorsey Haha no. They didn't find the errors. We told them about many errors almost a year ago (see our letter to JAMA Pediatrics they neglected to mention in the retraction), they wrote a reply admitting they didn't even collect the data necessary to assess PCC. x.com/Mark_Ungrin/st…

Scientists in Norway sounding the alarm that more young people are dying of illness. They point the finger at the effects caused by covid infections.

TinaA14 DooDah The guidance was created specifically to allow bosses to do just what your son’s is doing , also they knew that people short on leave… and (w all the minimizing propaganda) even if felt bad, most wouldn’t speak up and push back that they need to stay home Same in US

Yaneer Bar-Yam I instantly recognized the man next to Kristen Schaal in this photo as the actor from College Humor's "If Google Was A Guy" sketches that I saw like 10 years ago. The idea that KN95s conceal identity is SO obviously false. x.com/Rocket57/statu…

Barely 2 weeks into school and every coughing child in Ontario now gets 2 swabs from me - C19 and whooping cough. It seems like it’s one or the other. The influenza vaccines are still 3 weeks from delivery. 😫🤧😷

A few thoughts about Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEEV) being found in Ottawa DEET: Start getting in the habit of spraying with DEET if you plan to be outside in the evening. We already had West Nile Virus to worry about, if this is becoming endemic to Ontario (and the case

Dear NHS England Are you watching this? Your National Deputy Director of IPC Dr Lisa Ritchie's continuing professional development program appears to have stopped c.1997 Could this be remedied at her next annual appraisal please? Many thanks Fresh Air NHS

Is ANYONE going to as her why she believes AGP aerosols *are* infectious, yet cough aerosols *are not*? UK Covid-19 Inquiry
