This federal survey is a complete #farce. My Dad got covid in hospital. He died from long covid cardiac arrest. My Aunt got covid in hospital & now suffers from long covid.....
It occurred to me today that even though over 1 million Americans have died from Covid, we have no national memorial or national day day of mourning and how the powers that be have decided to memory hole the whole thing and how wrong this is.
In this 5th year of the Pandemic, I'm kinda gut punched by the abandonment of friends, some family and my peers.
I get punched again each time I see an event CFP shared with no health policy.
I recommend reading this piece by @MediaActivist . It's a very long, comprehensive read.
You aren't alone. This isn't your fault. Our society as it is set this up. It's just more of us are on the sharp edges of it. We're the canaries in the coalmine.
🔴 These findings demonstrate that transfer of IgG from Long COVID patients to mice replicates disease symptoms, underscoring IgG's causative role in Long COVID pathogenesis.
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”. 🙄
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.
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
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.
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.
"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?"
🇪🇸 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.
