This is a damning indictment of our global COVID policy failure: #COVID lulls aren't being earned by policy; they're being bought with infections and deaths
Why do I feel like we're making the same mistakes with bird flu that we did with covid?
Dismissing this case with "oh he had chronic conditions" is extremely dangerous. Not to mention the fact that there's a lot of people who have multiple underlying health conditions.
Swift is contributing to the spread of #Covid. She missed an opportunity to not sicken her fans. She could've had cute 'Swifty' masks made, & included them in the ticket price. She's a billionaire. Studies show, masking at superspreader events slows the spread of Covid.
See the grey line? It flatlined when the government decided to throw all Covid data collection out the window, told that Covid was over, and when people started to stop masking.
See the red line? That's the excess mortality rate.
Maybe it would be a good idea not to get COVID?! I’m still wearing at least a KN95 mask in public and I don’t remove my mask in public, but I’m usually the only person (article free to read.) https://wapo.st/3Kvhb9d#covid#cancer#medicine#HoosierMast
💔 “increased risk of heart attacks, strokes and heart rhythm disturbances.. the severity of the infection doesn’t seem to make a difference....The big surprise is how much this can affect younger people.” #Covid#LongCovid
#Inflation soared under President #Biden in 2021 & 2022, as the #economy emerged from the #pandemic recession [that began under Trump]. Its causes were complex, including snarled #SupplyChains, stimulative policies by the #FederalReserve &, to a degree, federal fiscal policies incl’ing #Covid relief bills signed by #Trump &…Biden.
“The uptick in aggressive, late-stage #cancers since the dawn of the #pandemic is confirmed by some early national data and a number of large cancer institutions.
The idea that some #viruses can cause or accelerate cancer is hardly new. Scientists have recognized this possibility since the 1960s, and today, researchers estimate 15 to 20 percent of all cancers worldwide originate from infectious agents such as HPV, Epstein-Barr and hepatitis B.” #COVIDhttps://mastodon.social/@ChristosArgyrop/112571326122093650
“The effects of repeatedly getting this throughout our lives is going to be much more significant than people are thinking.”
“most governments don’t want to think about long covid and much less long covid and cancer. It cost them so much to deal with covid. So there is very little funding for the long-term effects of the virus”
“I don’t think that’s a wise choice.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/06/06/covid-cancer-increase-link/
Pour Macron, le RN au pouvoir, "c'est une Europe qui ne (nous) protègera pas (...) vous n'aurez pas une Europe des vaccins, ils vous donneront de la chloroquine", affirme le président. C'est vrai. Mais l'argument porterait mieux si Macron ne s'était pas affiché comme un grand admirateur de Raoult et que Brigitte n'avait convié Barucq et cie à l'Elysée... Quelle hypocrisie.
A first today - First time I’ve ever been asked if I’ve ’got the Rona’ by a shop assistant - explained that no, I’m wearing a mask to prevent me getting the ‘Rona (and many other things like whooping cough etc)- she then shared that most of the store staff have been sick in the last few weeks and her husband is still sick. #Maskup folks - it’s everywhere… #Covid
The Lucira at-home #COVID test is a molecular #COVID-19 test, more accurate than an antigen test. It takes 30 minutes to run and display the results - no app needed.
The Cue app now won't let you initiate a COVID test. (One friend said it works to just insert the cartridge. The app eventually recognizes the test in progress; you have to tap around to find a record of it.)
Alternative at-home molecular tests now include:
Metrix
Lucira
3EO
PlusLife (not yet FDA-authorized)
