I have updated my @ttcnotices bot to pull updates from #TTC instead of Twitter, updates (routes and accessibility) should now be in near real-time :coolcat:

For my other bots: I also worked on pulling from alternate sources (RSS feeds) in the event scraping from Twitter is no longer possible.

My day today told by my Aranet4: I remained masked 😷 throughout, except at cafe (on/off to drink coffee). All but the shop were relatively empty/spacious. More people were boarding the bus near the end of my trip.

CO2 monitors are handy to gauge safety/comfort. #CovidIsAirborne

Today I learned you can now deactivate or delete your #Threads account without affecting your Instagram account: https://www.threads.net/settings => "Account" => "Deactivate or delete profile"

One of my goals this year is consolidating my socials: Threads and X/Twitter are probably going.

I continually refer to this chart by @Wikisteff:

• day 1: symptoms and infectiousness appear
• day 4-5: tests start to show positivity
• still infectious even if symptoms resolve (timing may vary)

Spread love and not covid (so much out there): mask, test, vax, rest if unwell

With increasing COVID-19 cases in Ontario and the world:

• MASK UP, especially indoor
• stay home / mask if feeling unwell (+ test)
• let fresh air in where possible (even a crack helps) / air purifier
• be up-to-date w/ covid/flu vaccines

Not vaccine-related: I finally completed my Super Nintendo collection today! I felt nostalgic 2 weeks ago and decided to search and buy the games I played as a child.

Second photo highlights the 4 that hurt my wallet the most (Chrono Trigger, Mario RPG, Adventure Island 2, Kirby Dream Land 3)

Ontario - RSV vaccine currently costs ~$300 for people 60+ years old not in LTC, but a good tip from @njc_647: you can get the prescription to mention that the pharmacy can administer the vaccine to at least reduce the work needed to receive it

Also check if covered by insurance

✅ COVID-19 vaccine
✅ Flu shot
✅ Mask (#COVIDisAirborne)

@CPHO_Canada consistently leading by example 👍

The new #COVID19 vaccine isn't just a booster, it's a new formula to help reduce serious illnesses and strain on our healthcare system, and to protect you and loved ones.

I recommend getting the new XBB vaccine as soon as one is eligible (min. 84 days since previous dose) because like every year cases will rise as temps drop.

Vaccines are just part of my toolkit: I also mask ((K)N95), test/clean the air (Levoit 300, aranet4, Vitalight), and test.
