« Stable » is such a dastardly lie.
It’s not like they’re saying it’s over. But stable is soooo reassuring. Stable definitely makes you feel like - you can just keep doing your thing. Stable isn’t any kind of a warning.

If questioned about what’s stable, one could point to any massaged metric.
Maybe reported ICU cases are stable. Maybe reported hospitalizations are stable. Maybe deaths are stable.
Doesn’t address at all the fact that we have a new hazard that didn’t exist 5 years ago.

And that our esteemed provincial government has never informed anybody that this hazard transmits through the air, by the inhalation route.
How is long term care ever supposed to stop transmission when no one is telling them to clean the air?

Schools will drive COVID transmissions in perpetuity - NB’s department of education stubbornly insisting on portraying CO2 as the hazard being measured by IAQ assessments, not the buildup of a novel virus in dirty school air, measured by proxy by measuring CO2.
Stable is such a bland and meaning-free lie - nobody will challenge GNB on it. Why bother. It’s all we wanted to hear. Stable is reassuring. I’m stable, you’re stable, no need to invest in cleaning indoor air or telling people about Long COVID as long as we can claim « stable. »
GNB is actively fostering complacency by calling this stable.
This complacency on the part of our leaders and employers is DEADLY. Complacency kills. Complacency disables.
But « stable » sounds so benign.
The actions and attitudes it leads us into? Not benign at all.

Since we really last heard from Dr. Russell, we found out that GNB - and every province - had been receiving excellent quality information on a regular basis from PHAC about Long COVID, since 2020.
A Dr who cared about the health of our population would address this.

I can’t imagine having played a part in promoting a disease, a common consequence of which has no cure but happens in all age groups - but notably in more women than men! - and being a physician, being THE physician responsible for communicating, and saying jack shit.
I have to hope that some MDs in NB are starting to see how incredibly wrong this all is. How fully it goes against so much of what is taught in medical school. How fully it goes against what’s taught about communication. How it goes against the legal duty of care.
It’s so blatantly wrong, and everyone has to stop enabling the treatment of NBers in this way. This sullies medicine. This sullies public health. This sullies government. This sullies journalism. This sullies democracy.
