Feeling really good. Last week ran a total of just over 80km combined over the whole week. Feeling so much better and doing really good this week!

This is just a helpful reminder that masks work. #COVID19 remains a top cause of death, it's evolving into more immune-evasive forms, it is causing long-term disability for many, being repeatedly infected raises risks, and that all means we should #WearAMask when we can.

I had no idea that on the #Mastodon platform - something you post can just be randomly deleted with no reason or warning as to why. Even Twitter doesn't do that and if they do, they at least tell you and tell you why. 😂

So true!

I think I've identified the problem. We are led by economists who think that with a chart like this, the best move would be to short the virus.

Canada had its worst year of the pandemic in 2022. Four waves caused by different Omicron variants. Now we have a sustained level of virus and hospitalizations caused by the "variant soup". Forgive me if I don't agree that we should stop talking about variant evolution.

@JeffEmmerson time to crush it!

@earthmothering9 we've truly gone backwards it seems. No support or messaging from any government to help the situation.

"Give as little as possible to as few people as possible."

...That's true. That's Australia's and the governments #COVID19 strategy right now. Prof. Hunt on Twitter said it best that "Mark Butler has no fucking idea."

There is no strategy for #LongCovid. If a 20 or 30 year old gets bad #COVID they can't get anti-virals. They're NOT widely available and the Australian Government doesn't care. If you're Albo's son or Daniel Andrews' daughter or Dom Perrottet's wife or Mark Butler's mother - you're eligible for anti-virals.

Australia has no covid measures or strategies but what's more sickening is that people aren't up in arms, rioting and making a big deal about this. #auspol

@realTuckFrumper I wonder if anything will actually come of Jack Smith's investigation of if Trump will continue to be a free man?

Reminder: After Trump's crime lair aka Mar-a-Lago was searched by the FBI, the GOP/Trump demonized the FBI to the point it incited a terrorist attack by a Trumper on an FBI office. Neither Trump nor Kevin McCarthy condemned the attack. The GOP is FASCISM. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/loner-gunman-attacked-fbi-office-was-navy-vet-drove-fast-was-devoted-d-rcna42937

Why I still use precautions against #COVID19:
1. People are still dying from acute infections.
2. People are still being disabled by #LongCovid, including #LongCovidKids.
3. We don't have effective treatments.
4. We still don't know the full extent of long term damages.
5. I don't want to spread the infection to anyone.
6. #SARSCoV2 keeps mutating - the more we allow spread, the more it will mutate. We don't know what future #variants will bring.
7. Death from infection can occur months later.
