BIG NEWS! SafeWork Australia has just published a Model Code of Practice for health facilities. Note on page 101 it says facilities MUST (not optional) ensure there is enough ventilation to avoid WHS risks including airborne pathogens. www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/doc/model-co...

Ed Yong is such a real one <3 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...

You’ve been clear in saying that Covid has not gone away. You ask people to wear masks at your events. But that attitude is not necessarily where the rest of the world is. How do you think about continuing to take precautions and advising others to do so when it feels as if society has moved on? I do it for a bunch of reasons. Firstly, I have learned that I enjoy not being sick. I know that the cost of long Covid is real and substantial, and I don’t want to run that risk lightly. I also know that I have many friends and people I’m close to who are immunocompromised. So for the sake of the people around me, I also don’t want to get sick. When I do events, I wear a mask for those reasons, and because I know that every time I do a talk, while the vast majority of people in the audience have probably moved on, there are going to be other people who haven’t. I think it makes a huge difference to them to have the person at the front of the stage wear a mask. It tells them, It’s not weird. So I do it for that reason, too. In terms of holding this line at a point when a large swath of society has moved on, I have written a lot about the panic-neglect cycle.

i always found it weird in history class learning that conservatism has been on the wrong side of every single issue ever but we still have to consider their ideas equally

Must-read by @kylietcheung.bsky.social. I'll be ordering @nbedera.bsky.social's book On the Wrong Side ASAP. "Victims blamed themselves for providing insufficient evidence, for their behavior leading up to their assault, for procedural missteps while navigating an impossibly complicated process."

It's only a snapshot but today there was no mention of Gaza on the online front pages of NYT, WSJ, WaPo, LATimes, USAToday, CNN & MSNBC. I wrote about the pivot from bad Gaza coverage to ignoring Gaza and how normalizing genocide is part of Israel's media strategy. www.columnblog.com/p/as-genocid...

As Genocide Rolls on, Gaza is Gone from the Front Page of NYT, WSJ, WaPo, LA Times, USA Today, CNN, and MSNBC

Measuring indifference is not a perfect science, but there are signs that ongoing ethnic cleansing and killing in Gaza has become the New Normal.
