2/...
- It is OK to realize that smoking is a HUGE risk factor for respiratory infections - and one that is often forgotten or discounted by patients, the health care system and media.

Hey #Ontario

8 things to think about as we head into a new week:

1) Reminder: "Hospitalization", "ICU" & "Deaths" are all subsets of the total number of "Cases" - & are subject to the same case definition.

- The case definition only requires...

2) #BREAKING: Viruses do NOT care about your feelings or how important your task is (or you feel that it is).

Als jou een jaar geleden was verteld, dat het in 2020 TEGEN de wet (of afgedwongen regels) is:

Om je restaurant, bar of ander bedrijf, dat wordt gezien als niet essentieel, te openen

Om een teamsport te doen met meer dan 2-4 mensen

Om rond te lopen, frisse lucht te ademen, zonder een masker

Om buiten te lopen als een test zei dat je positief bent

Om meer dan 2-5 gasten in je huis te ontvangen

Om je kleinkinderen, grootouders of wie dan ook te knuffelen

Om je geliefden gedag te zeggen op hun sterfbed

Om net zo vrij te reizen als in 2019

Om te genieten v cultuur, musea, theater, film

Om Kerst, O&N of elk andere feestdag te vieren met meer dan 3-5 mensen

Om een inkomen te verdienen met een beroep dat voor 2020 nog heel normaal was

Om buiten te lopen na een bepaalde tijd

To walk outside when some test said you were "positive"

To have more than 2-5 guests in your house

To hug your grandchildren, grandparents or anyone for that matter

To say goodbye to your loved ones on their deathbed

To travel freely around the planet as we could in 2019

To enjoy culture like musea, theater, movies etc.

To celebrate Christmas, New Year or any holiday like you were used to with more than 3-5 people

The unbearable childish matter of covid.

Once all the terms for the epidemic are more than clear and its past & future develope unravel, the dystopic world we're suffering today becomes more and more annoying.

First days' narrative stands against ALL evidence. Let's search WHY.
The most important issue about CV is that it's NOT a medical crisis but a PUBLIC OPINION trouble.
Measures were applied for public pressure, the crazy state of the aftermath is supported by the irrational public fear.
Politics are just protecting from 'you didn't do enough' call
Spain's expert, portrayed, has frequently applaud 'overreact is better in this situation' and it clearly has been the landmark for all policies.

The costs' being worst crisis since WW2, and still public wants more.
