• Ventilators: 39% of COVID ICU babies vs 16% with RSV
• Deaths: 2.9% COVID vs 0.4% RSV among hospitalised infants
Babies with COVID-19 develop more serious disease than those with RSV, US data reveal

Wastewater virus signals for Toronto, for the 52 week period ending Friday March 6 2026 showing a drastic spike in COVID-19. RSV, Flu A and Flu B are also shown. The second highest spike was Flu A which peaked mid-December and was present for about 8 weeks, while COVID-19 has been at elevated and mostly growing levels since last spring.

Yeah. It's COVID.

"Blowtorching diplomatic and humanitarian capacity while burning through military capabilities and alienating allies is malpractice of the highest order..."
👇🧵
It really burns me up how schools treat sick absences as a moral failure. Eugenics is so baked into our society that it is basically invisible to people who are healthy.
Besides, schools with their poorly ventilated classrooms are the primary culprit. The problem isn’t the children.

"Blowtorching diplomatic and humanitarian capacity while burning through military capabilities and alienating allies is malpractice of the highest order..."
👇🧵
Blowtorching diplomatic and humanitarian capacity while burning through military capabilities and alienating allies is malpractice of the highest order by the Secretary of State, the nation's top DIPLOMAT, and by the National Security Advisor. It does not help the military to kill US diplomacy. 14/
Whatever one thinks of the previous order in the Gulf, surely this is not the way to break it, with no capacity to rebuild it. In the most cynical sense, the US cannot get what it needs out of the aftermath without diplomacy. That's before you get to the human toll. And the loss of soft power. 12/
But you need actual people in post who know the region. You cannot rely on real estate magnates who do not understand what the adversary is offering and who only care about making money after the war. You need people who know how to play hardball and whom to call to reassure behind the scenes. 11/
The US did not even ask Ukraine for anti-drone help. Now the Gulf countries are talking to Ukraine. Who knows where that leads? The UK (the UK!) is also adrift defending bases and getting its people out. Alliance tensions are normal, starting wars without basic alliance management is not. 9/
The real harms of the unchecked spread of airborne illness have never been made transparent to the public. And so here we are today, in ignorance. This season only about 50% of the people who got flu vaccines got their covid vaccine. Intentional downplaying of harms of covid continues to harm us.
If you have asthma, chronic bronchitis, COPD or other chronic lung issues you are at greater risk of suffering long covid after even a mild initial covid infection.
Best to avoid getting covid.
Get vaccinated.
Wear an N95 respirator in indoor public spaces.
Clean the air we all breathe.
The public health sector: where irony goes to die.
People on the front lines paying the price for management's inability to understand safety is about as on-brand as it gets.

“Why the hell would a sitting president write an executive order to prevent the data from being accessed?… Because it shows how BADLY the US & world fumbled Covid & are directly responsible for millions of unnecessary deaths & now rapidly increasing diseases related to repeated COVID infections.”
"...inhalation as the route of exposure occurred in 80.1% of public health sector exposure."
These clowns should not be anywhere near infection prevention & control in the built environment.

Showing the sitting mayor of Canada’s third largest city a printout of an offensive AI slop image to confirm whether that’s the image he saw that led him to accuse a councillor of a crime, is possibly the weirdest thing I’ve ever done at work. And I once wrote about a merkin art exhibit.

(Science for the win 😎 )
People from serious scientific disciplines don't realize just how incredibly bad the "science" situation is in institutional medicine.
👉Current medical processes for policy and guidance development value these fake-but-not-labelled case reports above all scientific knowledge from any other field.👈
This is why all the COVID and #longCOVID aware folks have been so irate about everything since 2020. It's all unnecessary. Death, disability, it's all purely a result of letting medical policy be set by cosplaying dinosaurs, pretending to be scientists while they lock the real ones out of the room.
This is why COVID is out of control. Policies to protect you from disease like COVID in the hospital you personally will go to if you get sick are based on Dunning-Kruger "science" that has been out of date for nearly a century.
Check!
Medical management will kill you before they admit an error.
