‘“I am deeply sorry to share that I have a respiratory infection and my doctor has advised that I am unable to perform at the Vancouver shows on Friday and Saturday," P!nk wrote in the statement.’
‘The update comes after P!nk shared with fans on Monday, October 16th, that she would be postponing her shows on Wednesday and Thursday. “Family medical issues require our immediate attention. I send everyone my sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this has caused,” she wrote at the time. “I am sending nothing but love and health to all.”’

‘'I'm just waiting for everyone to be vaccinated so we can just be done with it. I did it and I didn't grow an extra arm,' she said.’
No extra arm. Copy that.
‘I am double vaccinated. I got my second shot a month ago. I would have taken a shot in every limb. I want to go back on tour.”’
Yikes. She also counter-protested vaccine mandate protesters:
‘P!nk’s stance didn’t come without opposition, though — the singer received a naysayer in her comments section, who stated that getting the vaccination is “our choice.” The singer responded, “I wish it was the nurses and doctors choice not to care for you when your dumb a– gets sick.”’
Yeah. She’s one of those.

Fallout TROME of the Week:
#7 Wait times force 1 in 3 patients to leave Winnipeg's largest ER without seeing doctor: Shared Health
Source: cbc.ca
‘According to the data, 13.1 per cent of those seeking medical attention in 2019 left without being seen by a physician.
During the same time period in 2023, that number skyrocketed to 34.1 per cent, meaning nearly one in three patients who presented and were triaged in the emergency room left without being seen by a doctor.
Those same rates worsened significantly at every hospital in Winnipeg over the past five years due to staffing and patient flow.
At St. Boniface Hospital, patients are leaving without seeing a doctor nearly 2.5 times more often than in 2019. At the Grace Hospital, it's happening nearly four times as often.
"This is unprecedented. I actually never dreamed it would be this high. It's a nightmare," said St. Boniface ER physician Dr. Alecs Chochinov said. "If anybody was waiting for the apocalypse to actually make changes, let them know it's here."’
Maybe the, er — apocalypse will wake them up.

And now from our friends at NOTB Sports Telegram channel. For years now a Telegram channel associated with the UK website Not On The Beeb, NOTB, has been keeping track of sports sudden deaths and injuries. It’s just a chat channel and it’s kept alive by the efforts of not many people. I encourage anyone to join it. They could use all the help. I really thought the sports injuries would wake people up.

‘“Probably a month and a half ago I realized that I would not return to cycling as a professional. Unfortunately, it makes no sense to continue racing. I had hoped to cycle for many more years, so it's an incredibly frustrating situation. Of course, you always hope for a clear explanation in these kinds of cases, but I haven't really been able to get it yet, so this uncertainty doesn't make things any more fun. It was a difficult process.”’
