“Floridians died at a higher rate, adjusted for age, than residents of almost any other state during the Delta wave…With less than 7 percent of the nation’s population, Florida accounted for 14 percent of deaths between the start of July and the end of October.
Of the 23,000 Floridians who died, 9,000 were younger than 65.”
This is what some of us have been saying for more than a year. When it comes to the management of COVID, Ron DeSantis got it dead wrong. @PeterHotez nytimes.com/2023/07/22/us/po…

I was CBC’s Ottawa Bureau Chief for several years during Liberal and Conservative governments. Only once did the gov’t try to affect our political coverage. That was when CPC PM Harper’s staff met with me and asked that a CBC reporter be reassigned. I said no. End of story.

Important thread from one of Ontario’s largest hospital networks that gives a thoughtful description of the multiple factors driving the crisis in hospitals. There’s no doubt that COVID has made this much worse, but important to note it is layering onto many pre-existing factors.

As Prime Minister, I will ban ministers and other top officials from involvement with the World Economic Forum.

Over the years I’ve given lectures on zoonoses and emerging infectious diseases and have used #monkeypox outbreaks as examples, mostly because I like talking about prairie dogs and Gambian giant rats and pet stores. I did not expect international outbreaks, but -2022.

COVID has changed everything and it would be wrong to think we can “go back to normal.”
That normal is gone.
In tbe US, with over a million COVID deaths, over 213,000 children estimated to have lost a parent.
That is so much heartbreak, so many altered lives and harder paths. 💜

My MIL is elderly, immunosuppressed and lives in a chronic care facility. Today she tested + for covid - and apparently almost all the other residents have too. She said she doesn’t know how they got it…. But, I do: UCP.

PSA:
If you’ve had COVID and you are still kind of draggy at 2 weeks, (which is a public health data definition of “recovery”)…
you ARE NOT doomed to long COVID, which is a multisystem symptom complex, assessed after 3 months.

So...Ontario Science Table is now reporting an estimated 100-120K daily cases of #Covid19. If you are debating whether to put on a mask, get vaccinated or limit your indoor contacts, please don't wait. Just do it. All of it.

This is some seriously fringey stuff. He’s “running for prime minister” on a promise to outsource monetary policy to the bitcoin dudebros.

On @CBCTheNational , we learn churches in the area around Ottawa, have been donating all those gerry cans of fuel for the convoy.
In doing so, they’ve put a target on religion, Christianity, & it’s role in this siege. Perhaps they should lose their status as charities?

@wpgpolice arrested in Indigenous person for “blocking traffic” today. This is a full blown white supremacist org that takes 30% of our tax $ with 0 accountability and collaborate with fascists. City council is just as complicit for continuing to fund this gang.
