Seems like a good time to say: I.a. Get vax doses out to the populations overrepresented in current MPX cases I.b. Engage community leaders to help with messaging II. Get vax out to HCWs III. Get vax clinics rolling at sexual health clinics IV. Get vax to endemic regions!!!

In Saskatchewan, we can pick up 5 rapid tests per person free at any public library. Rapid tests have their limitations but they are a helpful tool for reducing risk to my community. It’s shameful negligence that the US is just getting that this should be a priority.

Они обалдели! The Sputnik V vaccine Ad5 vector is evidently replication competent. The makers apparently neglected to delete E1, so getting this vaccine means being infected with live adenovirus 5. Hence Brazil’s regulator correctly rejected it.

The Covid test positivity rate in the US is 9.5%. That's nearly double the rate the WHO says should lead regions to consider not lifting containment measures and not reopening schools and some businesses. I'm scared to think how much worse this could get over the next 73 days.

Canada just announced it’ll provide the new Covid vaccine to every Canadian who wants it — for free. Canada has ordered more vaccines per capita than any other nation. They’re planning to donate excess supply to impoverished countries. Humanity.🌎❤️🇨🇦

I understand times are hard, but doesn't the President of the #Ukraine own a suit? I don't have much respect for current members of the U.S. Congress either, but I still wouldn't address them wearing a t-shirt. I wouldn't want to disrespect the institution or the Unites States.

So, keep making behavioural choices that help ⬇️risk for those around us & appreciate that “high risk” doesn’t fit neatly into one category. When we talk about protecting the vulnerable, let’s make damn sure that we’re talking about all vulnerabilities

As total US COVID-19 fatalities pass 119,000, some additional numbers from past respiratory virus pandemics (source CDC): 2009 H1N1: 12,469 1968 H3N2: ~100,000 1957 H2N2: 116,000 1918 H1N1: 675,000 So, less than1918 so far...sure. Worse than other influenza pandemics...yup
