But now, nearly three years after the pandemic, infectious disease experts and those working on the front lines of the health care system are urging Canadians to wear masks again as hospitals face a tidal wave of multiple illnesses, including COVID-19. RSV cases have spiked unusually this fall and are filling hospital emergency rooms with sick children, health workers report, as a shortage of children’s medicine worries parents. At the same time, Canada is now officially in a flu epidemic, according to the federal public health agency, and there is increased concern from officials and public health experts about how new variants of COVID-19 could affect the population as the public heads indoors due to the cold weather....

The United States quickly condemned the launch and vowed to take “all necessary measures” to guarantee the security of its territory and its allies South Korea and Japan. Vice President Kamala Harris met with the leaders of those countries and Australia, Canada and New Zealand participating in a regional forum in Bangkok to discuss the launch. “We again call on North Korea to cease further illegal, destabilizing actions. On behalf of the United States, I reaffirm our ironclad commitment to our Indo-Pacific alliances,” Harris said at the start of the meeting....

The missile, which landed just 200 kilometers off Japan, was capable of reaching the United States mainland, Japanese officials said. Meeting on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in Bangkok, US Vice President Kamala Harris called the launch a “brazen violation” of several UN resolutions and said North Korea’s actions destabilize security in the region. The North’s continuing spate of weapons tests aims to advance its nuclear arsenal and win greater concessions in potential diplomacy, and the launches come as China and Russia have opposed US moves for tougher sanctions aimed at curbing its nuclear program of North Korea....

It was a record year for the nuclear nation’s missile program after it resumed ICBM tests for the first time since 2017 and broke a moratorium it had imposed on long-range launches as denuclearization talks stalled.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said there were no reports of damage, but the North’s repeated missile launches could not be tolerated....

While overall island emergency department visits have increased slightly this fall compared to last, there has been a significant jump in visits by island residents under 18. So far in November, Summerside’s Prince County Hospital has seen 34 percent more patients in that age group. There was a 17 percent jump at Charlottetown’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Health PEI suspects that the fact that COVID-19, influenza and RSV are circulating at the same time is a big reason for the increase....

In conventional superconductors, Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory describes how phonon vibrations bind electrons together into Cooper pairs. The material properties of these superconductors often conform to “Matthias’ rules” – no magnetism, no oxides, no insulators. Apart from sulfur hydrides, no BCS superconductors exceed temperatures of 40 K. None of this has prevented doped copper oxides, whose parent compounds are insulating antiferromagnets, from remaining superconducting at temperatures up to 135 K. The coppers superconductors are mostly insensitive to changes in phonon frequency....

“(Albertans) have a right to a government that is based on principles, respects decency and inspires confidence in its citizens.
