Covid Won.
That doesn’t mean, of course, that the pandemic is over, it means it won’t be over. Not any time soon – instead of fighting it, instead of trying to control it, we just said “fuck it”, and it said no, fuck you – so it did, it is, and it’s going to keep doing it.…

Covid Sucks
SARS2-COV-19 is an airborne, deadly virus that can attack your immune system, even in mild cases, turning you from a normal, healthy person, into someone at high risk from any infection. Remember the panic back in the day about HIV and AIDS? HIV was transmitted via fluids, not just sexual contact, but not airborne or…

Conservatism, Centrism, and Progressive Politics.
Something that’s been bothering me about political narratives lately. Put aside CPC MPs cavorting with European MP, Christine Anderson, who is considered extremely right wing, authoritarian, racist, and nasty, it’s this strange idea that somehow the Liberals are a progressive party. When I hear someone say that Prime Minister Trudeau is the world’s most successful…

What is “Long Covid”?
Long Covid. I keep reading they’re looking for a cure – and I don’t believe they’ll ever find one. I prefer not to be negative, but here’s why. We already have an effective way to avoid Long Covid – don’t catch it. I wish there was a chance of a cure, but from what we…

2 (not so) Little Things we should ALL remember about Covid-19
Two things people should know and remember about SARS2 (Covid-19) Note – SARS = Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. Not “a cold you don’t need to worry about, it’s no big deal” 1. It’s airborne. If you walk through a poorly ventilated space, someone with the virus who was there 5 hours ago left enough virus…

When Will Normal Return?
This is NOT normal. Heat records being broken multiple times in a year A fire season that’s burned more land than any other time in modern history A pandemic causing lifelong disabilities in MILLIONS of people. None of this is normal. None of us should be okay with ANY of this We have politicians from…

Do You Protect Yourself?
If you see me wearing a mask in public (I still do, and will continue to do so until there’s some kind of breakthrough with this covid crap – a sterilizing vaccine that prevents infection), figured worth mentioning why. I hear people trying to say it’s over (sadly, no, we’ve stopped talking about it, but…

Do Public Services Cost Us?
Not Helping People Who Struggle Costs More Than Helping Them. I talk about this kind of thing a lot, and I like to bring up things like Public Health, Public Education, Social Services, Employment Insurance, Addiction Services, Public Health Care. As I mentioned, these things don’t cost money – or rather, they pay for themselves.…

Is SARS-CoV2-2019 Mild?
There is 0 evidence that Covid-19 is mild. Short term, ignoring it does boost the economy. Long term, it will destroy the economy. Anyone pushing to ignore it is looking to cash out quickly at the price of harming people. Note that mild symptoms ≠ mild infection Covid 19 is a vascular infection – when…

Does Lost Time Cost Money?
Listened to a CBC bit evaluating lost time due to increased illness, and how it affects the economy. I’m going to go out on a limb, and say while the piece does make some good points, they have an expert spewing malarkey as well. The story: https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-379-cost-of-living/clip/15961451-canadians-taking-sick-days-comes-cost When you say the average person is missing…
