We need to act as societies. This is a terrible loss, not just of quantity and quality of life directly because of COVID, but an enormous waste of investment we've made in research to improve quantity and quality of life. We're just burning money and effort. It's time to change

There's nothing quite like the relief of being done marking term papers, although I think I'm going to see the rubric in my sleep for a few days yet.

It's extremely rare for #bcpoli to send a press release late in the day To get one at 5:57 is exceptional But that happened a short time ago with the PHO announcing child flu deaths will now be posted weekly @CTVVancouver bc.ctvnews.ca/dr-bonnie-henr…

Why keep the public in the dark when the families of two of those children have already let it be known how they died? For all the obfuscation and deflection we’ve seen during the pandemic, this may be the most shocking and inexcusable #bcpoli omission 6/6 bc.ctvnews.ca/flu-blamed-for…

There's a palpable grief about potentially losing this site, but as I find people and add them on Mastodon, I'm getting this weird sense of hope too. Keep being good out there, wherever you end up.
