Your periodic reminder that #CovidIsNotOver and IMHO, one of the best accounts to follow on the #Fediverse if you care about data-driven public health is that of David’s.
“The COVID-deniers and anti-maskers talk a lot about “freedom,” but their concerns about the freedom to do as one chooses to do does not extend to people who choose to wear masks. Mask wearers have been physically attacked and insulted, and now that attitude is morphing into a broader criminalization of mask-wearing.
And one can’t miss the racial aspect of this criminalization.”
Gestern hat die World Health Organization den globalen #Gesundheitsnotstand durch #COVID19 für beendet erklärt: Was bedeutet das und wie darauf reagieren?
Diese Entscheidung basiert auf der längeren Beratung eines unabhängigen Expertengremiums, dem COVID-19-Notfallkommitee. Allerdings ist mit dem Ende der weltweiten COVID-19-Notlage die #Pandemie noch nicht vorüber.
Die Aufhebung des Status "#PublicHealth Emergency of International Concern" (PHEIC), der seit dem 30. Januar 2020 in Kraft war, bedeutet auch nicht, dass COVID-19 als Bedrohung verschwunden ist und es Entwarnung gäbe.
Vielmehr wurden die Länder aufgerufen,, den Übergang von der „Notfall-Behandlung“ zu einem anhaltenden Gesundheitsproblem zu vollziehen und ein systematisches Management der Infektionskrankheit und ihrer Langzeitauswirkungen zu verfolgen.
Covid is still killing and disabling countless people everyday.
It is still a serious disease that damages your brain, vascular system, immune system and more.
The end of the Global Health Emergency won’t change anything for me or my whānau.
I will still mask, still keep myself and my family safe and keep fighting for what’s right.
Stay Safe 😷✊🏽
Gloves don’t work, explains Intensive Care Society on Hand Hygiene Day. Not satire!
At least now we know what all the talk about hand washing against airborne disease has been for: if we can’t have doctors wear masks, at least perhaps we can persuade them to wash their hands occasionally?
There is now a preponderance of evidence that #COVID19 causes cardiovascular damage, even in some patients with mild infections, even in kids. The risk is much higher with repeated infections and if you are unvaccinated. https://youtube.com/watch?v=K_d9MvVNdyA
#covid19 denial is just the playbook in writing for global warming denial -- denial of inevitable drought, hyperthermic inhibition of photosynthesis, famine, disease and death
its playing out as intended by the oligarchs.
and most of the capitalist world is eating it up .
Hey.. Covid isn't over.
It's actually worse than the first few waves. That's our baseline now.
You have a 1 in 10 chance of becoming disabled after infection.
You can get sick up to 5 times a year.
You will never have immunity.
You are typically infectious for 12 days.
Deaths are being under reported by up to %60.
Why aren't you wearing a mask?
Don't let corrupt politicians steal your health away.
the thing is… we have data. Like I said, this is the most studied disease in history.
Those studies show, without a shadow of a doubt, that covid is a dire threat to everyone. Everyone. Even you.
The data is extremely clear on this too: the pandemic is not over. And, as I will argue in this article, in many ways we are worse off than ever.
The data also totally and irrefutably destroys this ridiculous, un-scientific notion that you can just “live your life” with no regards to your safety or the safety of others. It bears repeating. I promise you this: covid is a dire threat to your health and safety. Now. In 2023.
Getting rid of data deprives populations of the capacity for situational awareness, and the ability to criticize policy. It’s why governments are doing it.
It will enable employers, workplaces and insurance companies to deny liability claims and LTD claims due to Long #COVID. Also a reason why no more contact tracing.
