That bought a lot of credibility with me. I heard from some ER Doc's today that starting next week the isolation period for us healthcare workers is being extended to 7 days instead of 5 so lol Good there's Doc's that find out the reason for this poo poo instead of reciting what a memo tells them. That's a good Doc.

I just remmebered she said it has to do with vaccinations suppressing the viral load, making it harder to catch on all tests, and that's why the tests are becoming increasingly unreliable. Just one doctor said this to me and I'm some anonymous guy on the internet so take with as many grains salt as you deem appropriate. I do wish someone from public health would come out and day rapid tests aren't as reliable as they previously were though. That seems like important news.

I vaguely remember people saying awhile back that rapid tests are very useful at the population level, less so for the individual. I'm sorta hoping that's not true as we're not at all keeping track of results! also nova scotia officially has more covid deaths since Jan 4, 2022 than before. impressive that we can learn exactly enough about a novel disease to decide how many people should die from it

Now that the mask mandates are over, so is COVID. It doesn't matter how many people end up in the hospital because most of those people are elderly and disabled and our country is perfectly happy to let them die, we're not China or something. You'll still have the small number of people who spend the rest of their lives worrying about COVID to protect their doomed loved ones but the pandemic is pretty much over for all that most people actually care.

Dreylad posted:both United Church of Canada and Anglican Churches apologized back in the 90s. The primate or whatever for the Anglican Church of Canada issued the apologize. Yeah, as an outside person who is open to correction, the United Church actually seems to have tried to an extent that is not normal for settler institutions. Not meaning they've necessarily done everything, but they actually seem to have made an attempt to look at themselves and do something. And they seem to try to set examples for other organizations to follow, as well. They've done other things, but they seem to have found an interesting way to be culpable and also support their indigenous members. There is now an indigenous ministry within the church that is structured as a self governing church within a church and is free to define spirituality, ministry and other pretty fundamental things on its own. It has guaranteed representation on the United Church governing groups, and appears to consult with but not be directly governed by those groups. I can't speak to the theology of it all, but it's interesting to me because you now can have a situation where the structure of the church can apologize for institutional issues and speak for change from the standpoint of an organization that was fundamentally part of a bunch of lovely things, and there is now a separate part of the church that can speak for the people who were wronged (because it's them) and advocate for them. Theoretically the two groups can learn from each other and can speak to amplify each others voices. Until learning about that, I hadn't put a lot of thought into how lovely it must actually be for current indigenous members of some of these churches, trying to reconcile their identities. That being said, I have no idea how effective this actually is internally, how well it works for those within the indigenous ministries or anything like that. I also don't know if any of this really affects reconciliation for those outside the boundaries of the united church. It also completely ignores the core problematic bit of creating space in the colonizing structure for the people being colonized. Like, is this good? I don't know. It's better than earlier situations, but it's probably a long way from good. T.C. has issued a correction as of 22:00 on Apr 2, 2022 |

T.C. posted:
I was raised in the UCC, studied some of their history in school, so I'm biased to some extent but not exactly attached to the church anymore but: generally speaking it's quite a progressive church these days, with all those politics entail. They opened up their archives fully to researches on residential schools even when they were closed to the public due to moving across town in Toronto, something that is pretty expensive and time consuming. They've been about as open and upfront about the wrongs that were done and haven't shied away from owning all of it. The church has always had a democratically elected council and leader, and honestly I think that helps make the church more responsive at times. The institutional changes you mention are also really important and good. That being said, if you want to be cynical about it, the church was going to go bankrupt if the residential school legal cases had gone that way in the 90s instead of the settlement that established the TRC and other provisions that were less about material recompense. And as the church was created out of several protestant churches in 1925, it inherited the various residential schools run by those various denominations (mainly the Methodist) ones, which can lead to some vagueness about which denomination should bear responsibility for what part of the school's history which is all really beside the point. Nonetheless I agree that they've done the best of any religious institution in Canada and their efforts to address it go way beyond appearing sad and sorry about the whole thing.

My main memory of being dragged to a UCC every Sunday by my mom was that ahead of the 80s gay thing our minister saying that he supported it, all god's children &c &c &c, and the congregation promptly fired him. On the bright side from my memories the congregation was ~80% old people so they are all dead now!
