1. Introduction

COVID cases and deaths were surging in New Orleans right when I launched a project working with people who are seriously ill.

Thus, I began studying COVID mitigation.

2. COVID is NOT "A Cold or the Flu"

It is among the most serious illnesses.

COVID has caused life expectancy to plummet. Ppl are getting disabled. 1.5 million Americans can't work. Vascular dysregulation is concerning. Effects are cumulative.

In an Invited Editorial in @JAMAOnc today, my colleagues & I call for health systems to develop “Comprehensive #Pandemic Support Programs” for their most vulnerable patients.

These are our Top 10 Tips!

THREAD 🧵
jamanetwork.com/journals/jamao… JAMA Oncology article, "Variability in COVID-19 Vaccine
Tip #1: Health systems should explain to all patients that #COVIDisAirborne and is best avoided through multi-layered mitigation. Swiss Cheese model of COVID mitigation
Tip #2: Health systems should prioritize getting the most vulnerable patients vaccinated & boosted.

Offer #vaccines on-site w/the SAFEST options.

Vulnerable patients want highly-ventilated or outdoor options & high-quality (e.g., N95) masks for safety. Make it happen. Vaccination given while clinician wears an N95 outdoors

Know someone having a baby soon? CONGRATULATIONS! 🍼🍼🍼

As hospitals drop universal COVID protections, these are my top 7 tips for protecting unmaskable un-vaxable newborns from #nosocomial (hospital-acquired) COVID.

What did I miss?

THREAD of Top 7 Tips 🧵
Tip #1 – Determine your #mask rules. Some parents require staff to #N95. Compliance would vary by region/hospital. Prep for what you’ll say if staff don’t comply.

With our newborn twins, we supplied medical staff w/free N95s & tests. Nobody wanted N95s; 1 took a #RAT. 🤣
Tip #2 – U.S. hospitals SHOULD have excellent ventilation (air cleaning) by reg. But HVAC repair doesn’t have a CPT code. Many of my best & worst air quality readings are from hospitals.

Consider buying a #CO2monitor, read on that hashtag, & follow @joeyfox85 for basic tips.

Le #PartiAnimaliste fait le buzz avec son #rat #surmulot « liminaire »
Mais au fait, connaissez-vous bien ce curieux concept, typique de l'#antispécisme ? 🤔
Voici ce qu'en dit la bible du sujet, le fameux Zoopolis de Sue Donaldson & Will Kymlicka.

Quels sont ces animaux liminaires venus vivre dans nos villes ou banlieues ? Outre les moineaux, étourneaux et autres écureuils, on y trouve... les incontournables rats... mais aussi les #cerfs (de Virginie), coyotes et mouffettes.
2/
Bah oui, Zoopolis, c'est un truc de bobo américain. Disons que pour @ParisZoopolis, en plus du rat et du pigeon ça devrait donner ça.
(j'ai remplacé la moufette par le raton-laveur, ne riez pas, c'est une espèce exotique de plus en plus envahissante en France...)

We won’t be sending our son back to school on Monday.

A thread for any QLD parents who are still undecided. . .

2/ Son is due to start year six on Monday at a state primary school in Brisbane. We've had a close look at the QLD govt’s Back to School plan and talked to the principal about how it will be implemented.

qed.qld.gov.au/covid19/back-t…
3/ It’s clear the QLD govt’s Back to School plan is grossly deficient and exposes kids to much greater risk of COVID than it should.

The plan has 7 major failings. . .

UPDATE: I was confirmed by text message received yesterday (15/1) from a PCR test taken on 11/1 to have #COVID19 I am now self-isolating at home until the 18/1 as per the seven day mandate to do so. However, I took a RAT test on 13/1 it was negative and worked yesterday. #auspol
I received the official PCR result after finishing work yesterday at 4pm. I felt positively awful for relying on the #RAT test the has said I am negative now twice. I took another RAT test immediately after getting home yesterday. How can we rely on RATs if they contradict PCRs?
I rang the #COVID19 hotline and spoke to a women who suggested two possibilities: 1) The virus has now cleared my system and I am no longer infectious (though still must isolate for seven days from #PCR test), and 2) the #RAT test may be from a faulty batch. #auspol

Breaking: #Ontario

Literally

@fordnation, @Sflecce and @celliottability are collaborating to destroy

#PublicEducation
#Healthcare
#LongTermCare
And more…

The cracks are beginning to show

Sure, there are some partisan apologists who justify this travesty

While we suffer…
#Healthcare

Lack of proper #VaccineMandate

Allowing large groups to congregate unsafely

Refusing #PaidSickDays

Passing #bill124

And more…

Now our hospitals are overwhelmed, HCPs at the breaking point, No ambulances for emergencies

#FordFailedOntario
#Education

No #VaccineMandates

Insufficient #PPE

Hiding cases of #COVID19 from #parents and #students

No access to #PCRtest and limited #RAT kits

Our #children are at risk

They will get #Covid19

Some will get VERY SICK

Doug Ford’s PCs starring in:

THE ARTICLE THAT NEVER WAS

1/

Almost 9 months into this pandemic, Doug Ford continues to receive not only a pass from mainstream media, but a pat on the back. They willingly participate in his Doug and pony shows, following him around…
2/

…the province in what seems like a never ending campaign for re-election. Yesterday the Toronto Star claimed he has “brought professionalism to the Premier’s Office,” and that he was “poised for re-election.” Strong timely words for a govt that seems a lot closer to crisis…
3/

…then the media will have you believe. If you cut through the facade concocted by govt media relations, their social media team, their polling strategists, you’ll find a simple tale of governing a province through deflection, deceit, & gaslighting, while very few…

Forget insects, eat #rat to save the planet?

h/t @Kenn_FFCI/status ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
If one likes it, that's fine of course. After all, it is not uncommon in some parts of the world, such as Gabon.

In the Philippines, rats are tinned & "sold as STAR meat (rats spelled backwards) in supermarkets"
Even in the part of Flanders where I'm coming from, muskrat was a regional dish. Also known as "water rabbit".

Just seen this: thenews.com.pk/print/718092-c… Isn't it a crying shame that GHQ/ISI should be using this #Rat @ShkhRasheed aka CheedaTalli as its spokesman? What a poke in the eye for @CMShehbaz and @BBhuttoZardari for this disgrace to even be there when he has been bloody about 2/
2/ both, the Bhuttos AND the Sharifs!! So, was the Army sending a loud message to the political leadership that it ruled the roost and they could all of them Go Climb a Tree?! In any case the political leaders could have asked for a NEUTRAL venue for the dinner: ANY Army mess!!
3/ So, if the COAS said the Army had no role in politics BEFORE Nawaz Sharif aimed his broadside at what every one and Charlie's aunt knows about its meddling in politics AND rigging elections such as we saw in GE 2108 ON LIVE TV, he was lying and everyone should call it out 4/

An average 5500 #COVID19 Detection tests are conducted in #Pune ( @PMCPune ) every day. It has been over a month since the administration has shared data of bifurcation of these tests into RT-PCR and RAT (Rapid Antigen Test).
(1/7)
In the past months RAT has taken precedence over the regular RT-PCR test which experts agree is not the correct way forward in controlling the #Coronavirus Pandemic. RAT are easier and results are much faster but the efficacy is way less than that of the RT-PCR test. (2/n)
As per ICMR guidelines, although the positive results of RAT are mostly accurate, the negative results may need to be confirmed with a molecular test or RT-PCR. Rapid Antigen Tests are more likely to miss an active #COVID19 infection (Asymptomatic). (3/n)

Heute in drei Monaten sind #Kommunalwahl|en in NRW.
Nach der Wahl der Listen für Rat und Bezirksvertretungen im Februar/März konnten @gruene_mh Ende Mai auch ihr Programm beschließen. Die meisten Punkte, die mir wichtig sind, wurden darin aufgenommen.
#kw2020 #MHRuhr #rat #bv2
Mein Schwerpunktthema bleibt die nachhaltige #Mobilität mit #ÖPNV, #Radverkehr und #Fußverkehr. Ziel ist eine echte #Verkehrswende, die allen den Verzicht auf das Auto leicht macht. Daran werde ich auch in den nächsten fünf Jahren kräftig mitarbeiten.
#kw2020 #MHRuhr
Besonders wichtig ist mir weiterhin die Schiene. Ich freue mich, dass @gruene_mh auch weiterhin die umstrittene #TramSaarn unterstützen sowie die Reaktivierung der Straßenbahn zum Flughafen. Und es gibt ein klares Bekenntnis zur Schiene wie auch zur Busringlinie!

Educators need 2 know:
a) content matter -> concepts most difficult 2 grasp & durable frameworks
b) principles of how students learn and how best to teach so learners get those concepts and build those frameworks
c) how best to leverage tech to enhance b)

1) Du bloggst über die #Menschenverachtung von Adolf #Hitler, über #Antisemitismus und #Antiziganismus. Und ein Kommentator setzt gleich mit #Rassismus nach, verlinkt die angeblich niedrigere #Intelligenz von #Schwarzen & eine angebliche #Soros-#Erika-Verschwörung...
2) Und Du fragst Dich, ob der #Hass nicht auch eine #Wahl ist, nicht auch das #Böse Teil der menschlichen #Natur. Das #Wissen für eine bessere Sicht auf die #Menschheit wäre da, aber er will es nicht, weist es ab. Er wählt bewusst die #Verachtung...
3) Und so überprüfst Du Dein #Menschenbild. Der #Humanist in Dir leidet, weil die #Vernunft nicht durchdringt, abgewehrt, verhöhnt wird. Der #Christ in Dir weiß zwar von der #Sünde des #Menschen, doch will er kein #Richter sein, #Liebe, #Glaube, #Hoffnung nicht aufgeben...

Here's what the #CNP has planned for education in the United States. With the Heritage Foundation's support, of course.

Compare this to what DeVos has done as Secretary of Education: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betsy_DeV…
