'Many students are telling the National Union for Students that they cannot afford to continue with their studies.

'They’re having to choose between feeding themselves and carrying on with their education', a union spokesperson said. 'Many can no longer afford to travel to placements and to their campuses, or they're holding down multiple jobs to make ends meet. Inevitably, it is the students from the poorest backgrounds who are being disproportionately affected.'

To all Mastodon-admins: seems like there's an attack on all instances by troll accounts. Servers get slow because of it.
They use thousands of subdomains of activitypub-troll.cf. My 'pull' queues skyrocketed.

I now blocked the domain activitypub-troll.cf and all is back to normal. Please check if you're hit too.

It seems many people haven’t encountered the Swiss Cheese Respiratory Pandemic Defense model.

Since #COVID, #RSV and #flu are spreading a lot, I figured I’d re-share it.

Are you using an app for Mastodon? Which one do you use?

What does that do for you? Why do you use it?

Please explain in non-techie language.

Thank you!

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
At the time, I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 55 now.
HIV treatment works and it means I can’t pass it on - we call this #UequalsU.
HIV changed. Tell everyone.

French PM says covid is not over and calls for wearing a mask in public transport.

As they say here in Belgium "when it rains in Paris, it drizzles in Brussels", so I hope to hear something similar from our own government soon. #bringmasksback #CovidIsNotOver

Tomorrow we are going to be discussing STOP-ACEi on NephJC. The main chat will be on Twitter, #NephJC to follow, but I'll be straddling both platforms and try to port some of the tweets and interesting observations using @NephJC.

This is a great resource, if anyone asks about the science behind masks and their use - thanks for compiling it, @Billius27@twitter.com. It won’t sway people who are vehemently against the idea that we #BringBackMasks, but it will help people who want to learn more. https://billius27.substack.com/p/masks-evidence-and-use

Again, when people push the narrative that all Chinese nationals are "bots", have no personal agency, aren't creative (like machines), are brainwashed ants- this is not harmless speculation. These are racist attempts to dehumanize us- and most of you quietly accept it.

Only ten months into the year, Canada is seeing
- more people in their 70s dying of covid than any other year (3,614 - orange)
- record-setting pace for those in their 60s
- more in their 50s have already died than in 2020
