I suspect the chair of the Council of Chief Medical Officers of Health shall try to coerce Health Canada to follow suit of USA's CDCP evil policy decision to downgrade SARS from BSL-3 to BSL-2. Going against the evidence is totally on Dr. Henry's brand.

Tell me why that won't happen. I'd be glad to be wrong.

Cf. chapter 4 of the Canadian Biosafety Handbook:
https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/canadian-biosafety-standards-guidelines/handbook-second-edition.html#s412
In Canada, that looks like it would be a shift from RG3 to RG2.

I sometimes say, half jokingly, that I have PTSD regarding my kids being sick (mostly from stomach flu, not from a life threatening sickness thank god).

Last weekend I was told by a loved one that I might have PTSD from covid pandemic.

I'm not sure what to think of that comment. Yes, I still take precautions. The pandemic never stop in my view. And I'm definitely angry at how everything was handled. "We tried nothing and we are out of ideas".

People have moved on, but we are not in a good situation. Nothing I read shows positive signs. When I point that out I get told that such studies need to be taken with a grain of salt, for example the methodology wasn't sound enough. Sure I get this, it's never all black or white, that's how science moves. The issue I have is that I don't see positive studies at all, good or bad methodology. So all the signals are mostly negative, the question becomes how much negative. Debating how bad a situation is does not make it good.

What I find difficult is to protect my family when the world does not care. I can't put my kids in a bubble. I can't control what my spouse is doing (and I don't want to!) I know I can protect myself, but my efforts are moot if the kids catch anything at school where nobody cares.

@ALoneMasker Folding money says that comment is intended to make you doubt your sanity and observations, and start paricipating in covid denialism.

Still, it's not impossible, as after all the abandonment of public helath has put us in constant life-threatening and life-altering danger, with little to no control or support now or in sight. While not a guaranteed outcome, textbooks list this as a classic cause of PTSD.

I was diagnosed with PTSD ~two decades ago, and I've had to deal with former friends weaponizing this against my taking steps to preserve my health - telling me that I can't assess the pandemic's risks correctly because, I don't know, having PTSD makes you unable to ever do math? Former.

Sorry not sorry, my therapy included extensive training on discerning the difference between real and imagined threats, and I've been practicing.

I hope your efforts to protect your family and yourself bear fruit.

So given (I think?) that we went through a double wave EG5, JN1 over the last few months, was noticed very few deaths stats over the period - other than age care reporting. The following articles suggest that most of the data collection has been stopped - because we aren't in the emergency stage of the pandemic - even though WHO has been clear that we are still in a pandemic. Who makes these decisions in Australia? It makes absolutely no sense to me.

Our brother died shockingly suddenly, no explanation as to cause*, and trying to clean his home with the rest of the family has been illuminating. Because apparently, respirators are optional despite me bringing a box of them, and some windows being stuck closed. I'm told it'll be the same for the funeral, and what are you worried about. Like fuck you we don't care how soon our mom has to bury another child. Three out of eight, so far, two since 2020.

My own siblings. I am lost and the past few days have been pain and WTF /on top/ of bog-standard grief.

Masking is lterally a trigger for my PTSD and I do it anyways because PTSD is not a reason to be an asshole. All their objections are excuses.

*Don't jump, the coroner's office is slow. Speculate on why that is instead.

An amazing review of how we got here, how the goalposts kept getting moved, aka Pandemic Gaslighting 101. USA specific, but given the worldwide corruption of the Pandata project, us Canadians may note some relevance.

@EricCarroll @longcovid Odd that when it comes to mitigations, they only mention methods of reducing the severity of symptomatic infections, rather than ways of not getting infected.

WTF has happened to medicine.

@eniko @Lorrrraaaaine I counted three out of 72, and a few undeterminable. A higher ratio than my last visit to the grocery store.
