Wastewater testing is ending in Ontario because H5N1 has already started showing up in wastewater in the US.
The dairy industry has over 120 lobbyists active in Ottawa at the moment, and a bunch more in Ontario, to make sure that data collection ends.

Amidst all the doom loop rhetoric around San Francisco, it’s easy to forget how beautiful it is. I went to City Hall for a birth certificate (btw you actually get it at SFDPH) and it was lovely to appreciate the inside.

I worked as a facilities manager in an AIDS hospice during COVID. Despite the complaints and whining, we implemented and enforced SFDPH guidelines. Went the entire pandemic without a single death or breakout. Not a miracle - just good people doing good work. God Bless each and everyone there. Proud.

NOTE: I’m not so bold to assume my DIY distro was wholly responsible for the overall OD decrease, but I think it contributed to a shift of harm redux practices among a community that was previously being missed. Last year I worked w/ SFDPH on the resource guide below 👇

I've been nagging SFDPH folks to look at sweep events and ED calls and/or all-cause mortality. It wouldn't surprise me if, between tx disruptions and stress/fear/hostile encounters with PD, the immediate aftermath can trigger cardiac events and other acute morbidities.
