Put the mask on if you want to survive
Al Haddrell summarizes the findings of his and others' latest article where they explore how carbon dioxide affects how long SARS-CoV-2 remains infectious in the air.
😷 C'est le 1er dimanche du mois, il y a la messe de l'#AutodéfenseSanitaire : les Canards Masquées sont de sortie chez les camarades de @cabrioles.
Pour cette 3e chronique nous avons bossé sur "la vulnérabilité". Eh bien ce fut riche de brainstorming(ssss) collectif vu tout ce que cette notion détient à tort et à travers. Nous n'avons pas prétention d'être exhaustif-ves pour un tel bref format d'écriture, alors volontiers pour apprendre de vos critiques constructives.
On y discute de comment la catégorie « vulnérables » a conduit la majorité de la population à se croire visiblement “invulnérable”. 🙄
@violetblue 's Covid Safety Handbook (new title, see the update) surpassed it's fundraising goal in one week and is moving to it's stretch goal: an audiobook that will be "distributed to libraries and online stores, fulfilling this team's vision for the project's accessibility."
And, "everyone who picks an ebook reward before we make the stretch goal will also get the audiobook for free!"
Liebe Leute, welche Kombi-Tests auf Covid, Grippe und RSV könnt ihr denn empfehlen?
Ich hatte CorDx, aber mehr als die Hälfte pro Packung war defekt, der Teststreifen nahm keine Flüssigkeit auf. Haltbar jetzt immer noch fast ein halbes Jahr.
Praktisch für mich wären die bei dm online, habt ihr da Erfahrungen?
🇨🇦 Canada: New COVID-19 subvariants become the dominant strains in Canada.
"These new subvariants, known as KP.2 and KP.3, are under the Omicron umbrella, a type of mutation from the COVID-19 virus itself. They've spread so quickly that, as of May 19, 49.2 per cent of COVID-19 cases in Canada involve one of the strains."
I dunno if anyone will not have heard, but the fancy Cue Health NAAT molecular #Covid test, with the handheld gizmo, has been revealed to be a near-fraud. The FDA found that the company implemented non-approved changes to reagent formulations and device firmware post-EUA that will have significantly reduced the test’s accuracy.
In response to the FDA’s letter, the company elected to go out of business.
I’m not saying, “Don’t do things,” I’m saying, “If you do things safely with a well-fitting KN95 * and good ventilation, you, and many other people, will be able to do even more things AND you reduce the chances of getting sick.”
Why is this so hard to grasp? 🤔
obviously the disclaimer here is if you can wear a mask you should wear a mask, to keep those who really can’t wear a mask more safe.
Oh my good FCKING GOD.
Friend in the UK who has just been on a CRUISE posting that she has "caught a cold on the plane on the way home" but that she had a bit of a sore throat on the ship which she put down to the air conditioning. Several others travelling with her also have "a cold".
We are in YEAR FIVE of this fvcking PANDEMIC people.
IT'S NOT A COLD. #COVIDISNOTOVER
Die Begründung des #RKI, warum man den #WasteWaterSurveillance#SARSCoV2 Abwassermonitoring Bericht jetzt nicht mehr direkt online einsehen kann, sondern nur noch als (HTML!) Download?
"Der Bericht ist mittlerweile sehr umfangreich, sodass wir das umstellen mussten. Wir suchen aber noch eine Lösung, damit man ihn nicht mehr herunterladen muss."
🇫🇷 France: Cases of Covid-19 have been rising in France over the month of May.
Hospitalisations are increasing amid rising cases of the new ‘FLiRT’ variant.
From May 20-26, emergency admissions and hospitalisations for suspected Covid-19 continued to rise “for the sixth week running” SPF said, with 575 compared with 427 the previous week. This represents an increase of 35% across all age groups.
🇪🇸 Spain: Covid infections quadruple across Spain despite the fine weather.
Experts blame a highly contagious new strain of coronavirus for the rapid spread in Spain.
Although most of us have half forgotten about the coronavirus, the reality is that SARS-CoV-2 continues to evolve and mutate even now and, as specialists have warned, it’s very much here to stay.
Covid is estimated at 27.8 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in primary care. In hospitals there are 1.86 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
-Worldwide surge worsens: US, NZ, AU, more
-Australia (NSW) health minister urges people to “mask up”
-Egypt surge prompts covid crackdown & Philippines enacts covid border screenings
-Hawai'i still reports hospital data, reveals seriousness of new surge
And much, much more.
@violetblue 's Pandemic Roundup is always free and always worthy of support:
"This is the first US surge with no hospital data... Remember when CDC said that hospital metrics would be the trigger for prevention protections, like the return of masking?"
Die #RKI@RKI Waste Water Surveillance Seite wird nicht mehr als Online Dashboard zur Verfügung gestellt (da nur noch Server Error), sondern als Wochenbericht, den man erst runterladen muss und nicht mehr direkt verlinken kann?
So kann man die Nachfrage nach den Daten natürlich auch künstlich reduzieren 🙄
