I’d not thought of this. Maybe a person should sell now. Get out while there’s still a chance of at least coming out even.

@covidsociety.ca is there any chance someone in the society has already figured out the details for an Albertan hoping to get a Nuvaxovid shot this year?

I drove to Kalispell one year, and down into Vermont once when travelling to Montréal, but I want to avoid the US as much as possible atm. I’m feeling quite defeated by the UCP government currently. I’m having a difficult time overall, tbh. Pessimism has taken hold. Entropy always wins.

I’ve been trying to figure out how best to access #Nuvaxovid (Novavax) vaccine this year as an Edmontonian. Apparently it’s not going to community pharmacies in BC and BC public health won’t take Albertans. SK’s plans are as yet unclear. I guess I have to make some phone calls. #ABHealth #covid

I’m feeling overwhelmed. I know a bunch of strategies to help with this. But they themselves are overwhelming. Perhaps it’s time to put the phone away.

On the day before Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire, all I can think about is that time in 2021 when the head of the UN World Food Program asked Musk to donate $6 billion to save 42 million people from starvation and he refused.

This is incredibly, almost impossibly funny, given that the oil and gas industry in Alberta -- the one Kenney has always bent over backwards to serve -- has the *exact same* blind spot and lack of intellectual curiosity (and the same stunned response to arguments and facts they've never considered).

All I want this time around is: 1. Stop assuming we know everything about all viruses or that viruses can't change. 2. Stop interviewing calm-mongerers who are consistently wrong. 3. Start employing the precautionary principle.

It’s long. (Be prepared!) I got the impression that perhaps Markley didn’t have a thought-out plan for the ending; the writing style changes but maybe that was intentional. It doesn’t make it unsatisfactory.

It’s so well written, I missed a lot on my 1st watch bc I wasn’t watching to be analytical/critical. Yet the subject matter is so close to current realities that it’s too painful for me to rewatch. I’ll admit w/some embarrassment YouTube fan appreciation videos have helped me understand the nuances!
