According do D. D. Woods & R. I. Cook , you have to go behind the label #HumanError to begin the process of #learning, of #improvement, of investing in #safety.
This paper utilizes insights from existing research on the failures of complex systems and the role individuals play in safety and risk to outline a set of steps for effective responses.

Understanding Cumulative Risk
excerpt:
Getting Covid repeatedly is not a game we can win in the long-term. Like playing roulette, we can win a game, maybe even a few, but given enough chances, the house always wins. The good news is that you don't have to sign up for getting Covid once a year. There are things you can do to avoid that. And if you do get Covid, there are concrete steps you can take to reduce the risk of long-term health outcomes.
“Learning to live with Covid” should mean learning to live our lives while rationally mitigating the ever-present risks of an airborne disease with debilitating consequences. Not learning to live while harboring the virus, or the scars it leaves, in our bodies.

WHO experts are joining the National Rapid Response Team and are on their way to #Panzi. Team comprises #epidemiologists, #clinicians, #laboratory technicians & infection prevention and control, and #risk #communication experts. An initial local WHO team has been supporting health authorities in #Kwango since end of November to reinforce disease surveillance and identify cases.
Long (very long in political terms) effects of climate change
OK, this is a lightweight review article, but worth a read. Don't expect politicians of any of the major cours in the UK at least to pay attention. After all they are only interested in the next election. And we indulge them.

Beauty can be demanding but that is also because it is beauty & it knows the gift it is about to share. Winter is the one time of year we will run outside to see something knowing we need a coat & more - but the fleeting nature of the moment we will take a risk to see beauty.
In my latest Dark Reading piece, I look at how CISOs & enterprise security will be affected by digital certificates with shorter lifecycles. Managing the possible thousands of certs could be easier than you think, even for SMBs. #cybersecurity #risk
