Warum breitet sich das West-Nil-#Virus nicht in Europa aus? Wie beeinträchtigt #SARSCoV2 die Atemwege? Wolfgang Baumgärtner von der TiHo Hannover sucht nach Antworten, um bei der nächsten #Pandemie besser vorbereitet zu sein.

A few days ago I did a poll on attitudes about the #SARS2#virus after getting #Covid. This being Mastodon where all the smart people are, I wasn’t surprised to see a lot of you still being cautious—nowadays, half is definitely a lot.
In the general population, it’s obvious to anyone who goes anywhere in public that most people are more willing to take risks and less concerned about it. This has not happened because there’s been some actual scientific information that those risks are lower. 🧵

“a #virus that’s incredibly contagious. It kills some people immediately. For everyone else, it damages your brain. It damages your heart & blood vessels. It damages your immune system ... It shortens your #telomeres. It ages you.
Instead of warning the public, our leaders have worked on behalf of corporations to shield them from #liability. They've manipulated and distorted #data to present an illusion of normalcy” https://www.okdoomer.io/its-that-bad/#covid#publichealth
Deer, elk, and moose are vulnerable to chronic wasting disease, sometimes called “zombie deer disease,” an infection which causes weight loss, listlessness and drooling. Originally found in the United States, the virus has spread to Denmark, Sweden, and Canada since its discovery in 1967, and experts worry that it is more transmissible to humans than previously thought.

"there is growing evidence that #longCovid’s effects could have a more lasting impact on the #economy than the lockdowns. A #virus that slows down cognitive processes, leading to persistently higher absenteeism and increased occupational #disability, is a concerning prospect for the #business world."
"what many leaders fail to recognize is that after four years of #Covid19, they possess the knowledge and resources to safeguard workplaces against the virus."
"...#Corona bekommen sie trotzdem, die 👉Zahlen explodieren gerade.👈 Nur, in vielen 👉#Intensivstationen haben sie weniger Betten als vor der Pandemie."👈
Ich wollte mal DANKE sagen an all' die, die wie ich in #Gesundheitseinrichtungen und öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln immer noch #Maske tragen, denn:
...haben inzwischen bessere Chancen, die Krankheit ohne Komplikationen zu überstehen. 👉[Lebens]Gefährlich bleibt das Virus aber für über 80-Jährige mit Vorerkrankungen...."👈
"...Alle hier haben Respekt vor dem #Virus, und es kann ja auch in der milden Ausprägung den Betrieb lahmlegen. Jetzt, kurz vor Weihnachten, sind 👉plötzlich 22 der etwa 120 Beschäftigten krank, sie wurden positiv getestet.👈 In 👉#Österreich sind gerade so viele Menschen infiziert wie nie zuvor in...
...geht um die Arbeit an den #Patienten und mit den Geräten, insbesondere #künstlicheBeatmung. Während #Corona fielen sie flach. 👉Das #Virus hat viele Strukturen gesprengt.👈 Mehrere Jahre gab es fast nur noch eine Sorte Patienten. 👉Die Automatismen für alle Nicht-Corona-Behandlungen gingen verloren. 👈
👉"So viele #Fachkräfte, wie er bräuchte, gibt es nicht. Also helfen jetzt auch Maschinen"👈
Reaching out to the #CovidCautious people who are trying not to get their brains infected by a dangerous airborne #SARS2#virus because these have not been the best of days. Still a #Covid virgin after all this time but it’s grinding me down just the same. I just can’t quite get my head around the level of mass delusion and people’s utter indifference to human well-being—their own or those they claim to care about.
Also: The r/COVID19positive subreddit is a hot mess now. Story after story.
how about talking about how it damages #tcells instead of dated info from some immunology book back from when you were in Med school🙄
it👏🏼is👏🏼called👏🏼a👏🏼novel👏🏼virus👏🏼… for a reason!!!
also reasoning of not vaccinating #xbb for those under 65 to lessen burden on #nhs … 😶…😶😶😶😶😶🤯
Do these people hear themselves?🤦🏻♀️
I’m not dumb, ditzy on occasion but I get things eventually, however I read & see things constantly that are making me second guess myself; maddening
Prof Openshaw said: "The #viruses circulating now are pretty distant immunologically from the original #virus which was used to make the early #vaccines, or which last infected them.
"A lot of people have very little immunity to the #Omicron viruses and their #variants ."
WTF #misinformation is this?!?!
THERE IS NO NOR HAS THERE EVER BEEN DURABLE IMMUNITY TO A VIRUS THAT HAS MUTATED MORE IN 3 YEARS THAN FLU IN 15+++++ YEARS even if you were just infected
I was wrong. It doesn't inhibited your immune system, it BOOSTS #virus replication.
Does your #cough medicine contain dextromethorphan?
Might want to read this before you take it for #Covid
Study from May 2020
"we find that the widely used antitussive drug dextromethorphan has proviral activity and that therefore its use should merit caution and further study in the context of the treatment of COVID-19"
Ohio and Massachusetts health officials are sounding the alarm about a spike in cases of childhood pneumonia, sometimes called “white lung syndrome.” While some observers have noted the similarity in the outbreak with one currently happening in China, experts say there is no connection between the two. Read more from CBS News about the cases and what can be done to prevent infection.
Ohio 1st state to report ‘white lung syndrome’ outbreak.
A mystery outbreak of pneumonia has hit several parts of China, & now Ohio is the 1st American location to report an outbreak of the illness, with an ‘extremely high’ number of children being hospitalized.
The strain of pneumonia, now dubbed ‘white lung syndrome,’ has spawned 142 pediatric cases in Warren Co. since Aug.
"Chinese Hospitals Are Housing Another Deadly Outbreak.
Authorities are covering up the spread of antibiotic-resistant pneumonia."
Whether this opinion on the cause of the outbreak is accurate or not, It's clear that China has a problem which may affect children from outside the country.
"In Beijing/other megacities -hospitals are overflowing with children suffering pneumonia or similar severe ailments -CHN govt claims that no new pathogen has been fo-._
The #stigma associated with HIV/ #AIDS remains a significant #barrier to testing, treatment & support, preventing many individuals from seeking timely #medical assistance.
