We're #covidzero as over #60s are at higher risk of negative outcomes from #covid. The risk of 30% chance of #longcovid from #covid19 may mean serious #lifelong poor #health. #Diabetes, #asthma, #obesity, #ageing & many other things increase #risk of #hospitalion or #death. #Vaccine for some but still has limited protection. Low income = no #vaxx. We #wearamask. Life got tricky. I expect no response as most ignore #publichealth. How are others avoiding #covid19 but functioning nowadays?

@lauxmyth it's really frustrating. I really respect those that are advocating for #COVIDZero, I really do.
We need to take a step back and look at who have no choice but to calculate their risk based on their tolerance.
I am a leader of @PopAlberta, a prominent advocate for COVID prevention and public healthcare in Alberta. Folks really need to think about who their responding to.
I had to work in the ICUs during the height of the Delta wave. I saw those lifeless bodies being forced air.

As a musician, I simply cannot annunciate as articulately as I can and as the music demands behind even the best mask. Consonants are lost and vowels aren't as articulate.
I would say that through working through a mask that I have become much better skilled in this area but it doesn't translate to an audience in a cathedral.
This is the only risk I take. I'm still #CovidZero. Though COVID has been in this house, I have avoided it. Four years later I endeavour to maintain this.

I'm glad you spoke of the similarity with flight training. I'm a student pilot & the same critical thinking process applies. I learned this in nuclear safety & emergency response too. It becomes a way of thinking in the moment, assessing a situation as it unfolds & having the guts to alter plans despite your (or others) plans, expectations or disappointment.

not doing #COVIDzero worked out real well for these ****s
Everyone in my family has disregarded covid since Delta and the MSM deplatforming conversations about it around that time.
Mom, 2 sisters, brother in law, niece now "sickest they've ever been" and can't have Xmas cuz of it.
Confirmed COVID even though one shit doctor said "must be Influenza A" over the phone w/o testing.
World class idiot.
The cherry on top is the PASC sequelae. Doubt they all survive 6 months.
Reflecting on the current turmoil in #Guangzhou and the rest of #China, and also remembering her peaceful foundations -- as exemplified here in the otherworldly timelessness and tranquility of the Hualin Temple of 500 Gods. Built and rebuilt over the last 1,500 years, it marks Bodhidharma's arrival from India and with him the seeds of #Zen #Buddhism. I shot this when I accidentally visited for a day.

So now that I'm not sweating over a spicy server, I suppose it's time for an #introduction!
Hi! I'm the instance operator of mstdn.ca. When I'm not panicking over the instance you can find me loving my career in healthcare IT. When I'm not doing that I'm singing with my chamber choir, cycling, skiing, serving on a number of boards and PACs, volunteering, and rarely, sleeping.
I'm an fervent advocate for publicly delivered healthcare, #CovidZero, and healthy communities.
