Another warning against allowing unmitigated Covid spread

I cannot reiterate enough: Covid-19 is a killer virus. Its uncontrolled and unmitigated spread throughout the world is a mistake we'll regret for generations. Its insidiousness is in its ability to be asymptomatic or merely "mild" in its acute phase. However, it is a virus with terrible consequences over the short and long-term for the many who will catch it despite its seemingly asymptomatic or mild effects.

Its ability to disable (https://kffhealthnews.org/news/article/covid-autoimmune-virus-rogue-antibodies-cytokine-storm-severe-disease/) and dysregulate (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9568269/) the immune system is its greatest strength. It is a virus that shares much in common with measles, Hepatitis, and even HIV. Catching it once can and will likely wreck one's defence against other illnesses. Have you been sick more than once in the past few years? That is far out the ordinary. Prior to Covid, the average for people catching ill was once every four to seven years. Nowadays, people on average are getting sick between once and a few times a year. That is not simple correlation but likely a consequence of not protecting ourselves from infection the first time around.

Heart disease is up. Liver disease is up. Deaths from overdose. Basically, all deaths are up upwards of nearly 40% since 2019. And the longer Covid-19 is circulating, the greater this number will accumulate as we all develop graver cumulative damage to this virus.

The exponential growth of the virus' ability to transmit. The cumulative damage done to our bodies. We are now entering the FO phase of the FAFO paradigm.

The human 'superpredator' is unique -- and unsustainable, study says

Los Angeles Times I can't imagine the world in ten years time. Twenty years. It'll be different. As different as the world was even in my own childhood. As different as the world was from my parents' childhoods. My elders speak of our role on this Earth as caretakers. However, we've abandoned this role in favor of materialistic pursuits. Of finite beliefs that will quickly degrade into ash when stressed, as heated glass touching cold water. All cultures historically warn us away from over-indulgence, and yet our own modern society celebrates this behavior as exemplary. This self-interest is our fatal flaw. We take what we want, and we give nothing. This cannot last. There are limits on this Earth we cannot comprehend in full. It is simply too vast. However, what little we do know should terrify us into acting more responsibly, even if only marginally. However we do not even do that. Our leaders urge us on to continue on as we have done. This cannot last. Eventuall...

Highway of Tears gets $3M for transportation safety plan

CBC News Realistically, there's only so much can be done The long term goal should be to be helping these remote communities become more and more self-sufficient so there's less need for a community member to have to travel to and fro their home to a neighbouring town for particular needs, or to strengthen the presence of civilization along side those roads and highways. However, three million dollars? Honestly, it seems quite a bit low. This is over 700 kms, altogether, with many communities, in-between. And the winter conditions alone are harsh and demanding. Three million dollars will be used up, very quickly. The most helpful part of this would probably be the $1.6 million allocated toward BC Transit. An extra bus per community with an extra diver should help, although it's a question if the funding will stretch to cover all the communities, in-between. Considering this is the provincial government, they can only do so much, and only indirectly. Now it's up to ...

Justin Trudeau A 'Stunning Hypocrite,' Top Environmentalist Says

The Huffington Post Canada Some pretty harsh words. And accurate, too. What is the point of more pipelines? Their effect on the Canadian economy seems negligible, at best. At worst, they're sinkholes, employing some, but draining time, money, and manpower from other industries that'd be of more benefit to the Canadian economy as a whole. At some point, the Canadian government's simply going to have to give up on the tar sands. They're a money pit. Canada's days as an oil-producing nation are long over. There's more money being spent on the tar sands then Canada's recouping, now. And the days when barrels of oil were selling at or over $100 per barrel are never coming back.
