In this 2015 episode of #RadioLab Robert and Jad speak to Carl Zimmer about the traditional lines between life and non-life, introducing viruses the size of cellular microbes. #Virus#Virology#MegaVirus#MimiVirus
Why I continue to wear a #mask and get #vaccinated.
My family and relatives in #Japan: So far, no one has caught #COVID, been hospitalized, or died. Zero. (Knock on wood x3)
My family and relatives in #America: Almost every single family member has caught the #virus, it put my dad in the hospital, and my aunt died from it.
So when I see someone against masks or vaccine s, I immediately want that person far away from me and my family. Sorry, I hope the best for you, even if you are an idiot.
Why can you still smell things wearing an effective #mask?
You can #smell some nasty things like #smoke and rotten eggs even with fit tested #N95#respirators which block tiny viruses/bacteria because the smell molecules have atomic masses that are 17 million times less than a #virus . 🧵 1/
"’We noted gray matter alterations in both patients with #LongCovid and those unimpaired after a #covid19#infection,’ said [lead study author Alexander Rau]. ‘Interestingly, we not only noted widespread microstructural alterations in patients with long COVID, but also in those unimpaired after having contracted COVID-19.’”
These posts are no longer intended so much to warn people about the dangers of the #SARS2#virus as to remind my fellow lonely weirdo holdouts that what we’re doing (or mostly NOT doing—inhaling other people’s unfiltered lung exhaust) is actually the only sensible option.
There is just not an alternative that makes sense during a #pandemic with a dangerous airborne pathogen on the loose. And despite what the masses want to believe and what business and political interests want them to… 2/
This book about #MECFS (American Breakdown) sounds interesting, but so does the book about a lady from the 1860s she read that helped her recognize her condition. They guy who wrote it sounds like a dick so idk, but the link on this page to the Lit hub summary or whatever contained this paragraph which I found interesting. It explains why the CDC’s webpage for MECFS is so much better now than it was when I first started looking at it in 2012.
Like Jennifer, I remember trying to warn people when #Covid came that if it’s anything like mono they don’t want it. If it’s anything like a herpes #virus that they think they get past but that stays in their body to reinfect them whenever they go through stress or injury, they don’t want it. People laughed at me.
I currently have a nasty chest cold. I’ve tested for #Covid twice and was negative both times. This is my second nasty chest cold this year. Gone are the days of colds with sore throat, runny nose for me. Instead I get this nasty lung experience.
As a well-controlled #asthmatic I suspect getting Covid once last Dec has resulted in this type of #cold experience for me post-covid.
(Or that’s just the #virus that’s out there, but I’m suspicious)
In most cases, the virus's #genetic material, #DNA is enclosed within a protective protein shell called a #capsid . A research group at Lund University is working to understand the process by which the #virus ejects its genetic material from the capsid and into cells and what causes the virus's DNA to be released. #Biology#Virology#sflorg https://www.sflorg.com/2023/11/bio11082302.html
"The level of suffering caused by #COVID19 has been completely normalized even though such a thing was unthinkable back in 2019. Populations are largely unaware of the long-term harms the #virus is causing to those infected, of the burden on healthcare, increased #disability, #mortality and reduced #lifeExpectancy. Once a few even deadlier outbreaks have been shrugged off, even more unimaginable losses will eventually enter the “acceptable” category."
"unsere Gesellschaften und unsere Führer neigen dazu, #Krisen jeder Art zu bewältigen, als sie zu verhindern. Wir sind schlecht darin, aus Krisen zu lernen, und ziehen es vor, sie schnell zu vergessen und zum "Normalzustand" zurückzukehren"
Die unterschätzte Gefahr: Die Verharmlosung des #Corona#Virus und ihre Folgen -
@dannotdaniel@luckytran you make fun of that, but #Studies really show great effects of #HOCl against #SarsCov2 . Not only on surfaces but also in very very low concentrations as a gargle, inhale, nasal spray. Same with the disinfectant Povidon-Iodine
Also #UV-C and save #Far-UV-C and #blue light with 400-425nm light are shown to inactivate #Virus .
Also #NearInfrared light is shown to have good effects on our bodies fight against #covid . Also normal VitaminD lv
In der Webagentur hat unsere Empfangsdame die Mail geöffnet ➡️ alle hatten tagelang frei für Neubau IT.
Kollege hatte immer am Wochenende Kopfschmerzen und jetzt mitten unter der Woche. Fand wegen dem Virus heraus, dass es am Glas Milch lag, das er nur an freien Tagen trank.
There’s a #toxoplasmosis hypothesis floating among those of us who know #CovidIsNotOver and are increasingly feeling like we’re in a bizarro world of irrational people who are being willing hosts for an airborne #virus that has killed two million of us in the US alone and left around 20 million with disability and long-term illness.
I don’t think it’s completely implausible; I’ve seen evolution by mutation and selection work on my computer and it can do amazing things. Microbes evolve fast. 🧵
I need someone who can tell me about measles in adults. Raise your hand, please.
(My kids’ babysitter got measles-likely not vaccinated but she had covid twice so her immune system is not rock solid) and after more than a week she’s vomiting now (heading to see a doctor)
Q: anything specific she should pay attention to- ask the doctor to check for sure? #measles#virus
Twelve hundred days ago or so, the realization hit me that this new #SARS_COV_2#virus seemed to be traveling through the air. I quit being indoors around people outside my household without wearing a P100 respirator—the one I’d been using for weed spraying each spring.
Today I was at the drugstore and almost started laughing when the cashier walked up to the register, unmasked, with an oxygen cannula in her nose.
What I did not expect about #Covid was the deep, almost universal mass delusion.
