'The impact of COVID-19 and increased workloads are affecting NSW nurses’ mental health and wellbeing, and one in three plan to quit their jobs in the next year.
A survey of 2300 nurses commissioned by the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association revealed they are experiencing burnout, including 15 per cent suffering symptoms of post-traumatic stress at clinical levels.'

For folks building systems with a more paranoid #Linux #kernel, do you use any "slub_debug" features beyond "slub_debug=ZF" (redzoning and verification) for security flaw #mitigations ?

e.g. "slub_debug=P" has been superseded by "init_on_alloc=1 init_on_free=1"...

The flags are listed here:

Boyanton et al, 2022: Supposing that a concurrent diagnosis of #pharyngitis & presence of the microbe constitutes a case of group A #Streptococcus pharyngitis (GAS-P), after early #COVID19 #mitigations, GAS-P diagnoses came down by 81.6%.

Impressive 🧵
Blindingly obvs Conor that your 2020 projected, ‘worst case scenario’, is our current reality.

Thirdly, #mitigations that can sustainably delay infections have much broader public health benefits: from better sick pay, improved housing, improved work places, to cleaner indoor air. (e.g see emphasis on indoor air in today's air pollution report)

‘Switzerland 🇨🇭some so readily praise to its few #COVID #mitigations, heads for a new excess mortality record. According to the Federal Statistical Office (BFS), such a permanently increased #mortality is unprecedented, @tagesanzeiger@twitter.com writes’

Is #Novavax after 2 #mRNA shots a miracle cure? No, it isn’t. BUT if you put other #NPI #mitigations in place, will it help you take in more #viralInhalationDose before you get sick? #Anecdote #IMHO yes, I believe it does & the #science seems to back it up too

I’m still what the entire🌎would call #absurd in my caution, but when there’s an #endothelium destroying #airborneVirus #SARS2 floating out there, is there such a thing? #AirbornePrecautions #begBorrowSteal #vaccine

Anyone who wants to see some #masked faces. I know you may feel entirely alone, enraged, scared and heartbroken over society abandoning you (especially vulnerable groups of people, and those who try to protect them).

That things are upside down. They are. You're valid and reacting understand to a horrific situation. Just know not everyone has. Hope this helps some people 💜 #Masking #Mitigations #Maskup #Covid #Immunocompromised.

Holiday Preparations

So the holidays are coming, my parents are planning to invite some people (I was totally against it) but I can’t do anything now. I am looking for ways to make gatherings safer.

The ventilation in our house is quite good. We have open spaces we can use. I wanna know how you plan to celebrate with #Covid #mitigations. 🙂

Things get really fun with treewide Linux kernel changes when you trip over imported code from external projects. Cleaning up fake flexible arrays continues in the ACPICA project:

🚨 #GhostChildren

There are children from high risk families (some with low / no immunity to #Covid) stuck perpetually at start of the pandemic.

Choices stark between:
#educationANDlives (both human rights)

#Mitigations in schools have gone.
Doors & windows CLOSED due to energy costs.

Families facing prosecutions
Childen without learning
Children unable to take exams

Our children are locked out of education.
We need #SafeSchools.
