Library of Congress has announced the congressionally-funded COVID-19 American History Project, a multiyear effort to collect, preserve and make available to the public the oral histories of frontline healthcare workers, survivors of loved ones who died, and others impacted by the pandemic. The project will also encourage the public to share their COVID-19 experiences with StoryCorps, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing humanity’s stories. #HCW https://newsroom.loc.gov/news/library-of-congress-launches-covid-19-american-history-project/s/5b14b9f3-55c1-464d-be85-831e57f1437a?loclr=ealn

My latest Tracing newsletter is out. Tracing #53, "Apple Engineer Walter Huang’s Survivors" forecasts this year's information landscape, by looking into how it's already affected by #AI and #AIHype and true believer's hoped-for #AGI. This newsletter talks about Huang's survivors who are suing Tesla and Elon Musk for wrongful death https://tracingcovid.substack.com/p/apple-engineer-walter-huangs-survivors #COVID #COVID19 #infodemic #ElonMusk #antivaxx #HCW #Healthcare #PublicHealth

I've now been on #Duolingo for three weeks, and I just finished a successful interaction with a patient as a #HCW! Holy shit, I'm awesome!

Don't misunderstand me. I'm not fluent. Part of my success is my ability to be both very good at my job... and a fearless idiot who barely speaks the language, but at my best, I'm a charming clown who does my best to meet people where they are. My patient knows I'm a gringo, but they understand, and so do I. We all do the best with what we have, right?

Hospital Organizations in January be like, “tell us all that your teams accomplished in 2022!!”

We showed up. That’s our accomplishment :blobcateyes:

had an alarming conversation w a #rehabilitation #hospital #nurse today

while standing outside isolation rooms for #covid #patients, she informed me that "it's good all of 'em finally caught it, so they can have natural antibodies"

this #HealthCareWorker then shared that her 90yo #mother caught #SARSCOV in #rehab, & she caught it fr her #mom while visiting. so, she "feels good having gotten it out of the way"

now i hate that nurse & think she's an imbecile, as are all #HCW who agree w her

Why are MLK Day and the beginning of Davos week the same day? Not because they're synonymous. See my illustrated edition of

“For TIC to be thoroughly implemented and embodied by a healthcare system, policies, procedures, and culture need to be trauma-informed. This work requires multi-level commitment and can take substantial time and effort.”

$partner is doing much better today. pain is under control, and she's sending happy messages to me. #thanks to #HCW at the hospital, I can have extended conversations with her that don't include moans of agony 😢

#introduction Hi, I am an Australian, and am I very glad to have landed in the #fediverse.

Love ebikes (and all bicycles). Happiest out in the bush with family and friends on my e-mountainbike.

Keen to get #ClimateAction to protect the Earth for our kids and grandkids and...

I wear a #mask indoors in public. Normalise masking - its so easy. Reduce transmission, protect our hospitals and #hcw, and everyone.

Travelling to Garowe, #Somalia I discussed with our driver the rains that won’t come, the floods that did, and the continued #outbreaks

Tomorrow with #HealthCareWorkers we will discuss how to meet the increasing needs of the dire situation Somali people.

The driver, #HCW and my concerns should be all of our concerns as the #ClimateCrisis deepens. The #COP27 must deliver.
