🤔 Rubbish IT systems cost the US at least $40bn during Covid: study / FT

｢ The big argument in favour of sticking with Cobol systems is that they work. The catch is that, whenever they stop working, it is difficult to figure out why. That’s not good in a crisis, which is exactly when they’re most likely to break ｣

This is a directory of mutual aid organizations where you can donate or receive free masks to protect yourself from Covid. Listed by state or province in the US and Canada. Some even provide additional resources, like free testing and loans of air purifiers!

"Health Canada has published Guidance for Indoor Air Quality Professionals, a practical, science-based resource for Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) experts, building operators, and employers." via https://ospe.on.ca/advocacy/policy-win-health-canada-releases-new-iaq-guidance/

We're beginning to see the results of the gears that turn more slowly in public health. Continued advocacy will be necessary, as we need public health authorities, engineering bodies, and regulators across the globe setting standards and raising the bar.

Good news! Scientists created a super protein that blocks all #Covid variants tested — even SARS-1.

It locks onto the virus’s spike in 3 spots at once, jamming infection before it starts.

"Writing in the Lancet medical journal in July, Heidi Larson, a professor of anthropology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, identified the US as the origin of so much of the 'pandemic of misinformation' and 'fringe narratives' that caused controversy during the Covid pandemic and appear to have gained even more traction since."

"For example, from 2019to 2021 the US acted as 'a major exporter of Covid-19 vaccine misinformation, with American accounts disproportionately represented as central hubs in global misinformation networks', she said. That influenced behaviour in countries as far away as Nigeria, Ghana and Bulgaria, contributing to reduced uptake of Covid and childhood vaccines."

"As a result, organisations such as the WHO and Gavi, the vaccines alliance, in their day-to-day work promoting vaccines 'are increasingly confronted by vaccine hesitancy grounded in exported disinformation, much of it directly traceable to American political discourse and media,' Larson said."

I, alone, can't stop social murders by our government. I can try to stop government from killing & disabling more people. I can get what is necessary to speak out about, documented on public records & try to push for more just policies. I can speak as a citizen & as a health care worker.

Just found out I can't get my COVID booster until the end of October at the earliest, even though I'm high risk and due for one. What the fuck, Ontario? #HealthcareOrLackThereof #Ontario #Covid #CovidBooster

Got my shots 👍🏽

Just walked in to CVS (suburban Long Island), no need for pre-existing conditions, no wait. (And no stupid appointment kiosk either!) Pharmacist said they expect the rush to start next week, so going now was good timing.
