We review the current state of public health in the context of the rising number of cases of COVID-19, the looming flu season, and the emerging increase in Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) cases. As we discuss the guidance is clear on getting vaccinated for the first two with the updated vaccines and staying vigilant against RSV which does not have any available vaccine.
We talk about my recent SIM Jacking of my phone and attempt to take over my bank accounts. Despite both of us believing we are relatively well protected there are still things we should or could be doing and there are plenty of lessons for you to learn from my experiences that are documented in the accompanying link to the details on my blog and on LinkedIn.
Listen in to hear us review the recent paper Adverse Childhood Experiences and Adolescent Police Contact in the United Kingdom which discusses the impact of Adverse Childhood events in early life and the impact on adolescents and wee talk about AI systems and the difficulty in getting the design right even with lots of resources and good intent.
