For people who were certain they had #covid but their Cue tests kept coming out negative: Cue diminished accuracy of its tests August, 2022 and again in October, 2023.
Anyone have recommendations for high quality air purifiers with a Hepa filter and Merv13+? I’ve tried different purifiers over the years and either they end up not having an actual Hepa filter, stop making replacement filters, or filter replacements are too expensive. I like my Levoit, but it turns out they aren’t actually Hepa filters. And my Renpho went from having $30-50 filter replacements to now $90 on Amazon. I can’t even buy them from Renpho anymore. #covid#COVID19#CovidIsNotOver
It's funny how the people getting very upset at students protesting the killing, and the destruction of cites and homes, forcing millions to flee and live in camps are the same people who protested the "tyranny" of wearing a mask at the grocery store. #fascism#covid#gaza#protests
Dear old friend, trusted confidant, colleague (take your pick) of many years before this thing called #Covid came for almost everyone—
—almost everyone but me and my fellow rebellious information- and situation-privileged weirdos and outcasts who still wear an #N95 or at least #KN95 around anyone outside their household, that is, plus some tiny unstudied group of people who seem to have true sterilizing immunity—
I’m having a hard time lately with this damn #pandemic and you’ve always… 🧵
Do you know what killed more than 19,000 Americans in the last 3 months? Covid. About 9 an hour. Many many more than that have been hurt, often permanently.
That’s a lower number than previously, yet the risks remain.
Stay home when ill, wear masks in crowds and inside, stay up to date on your vaccinations and improve ventilation (ex: opening windows) to stay healthier.
So having #Covid does have the upside of free time at home to get to this #Atari 2600 #Lego build. The cartridges can go in, the joystick has movement as do the switches, and a fun seen flips up from the console if you slide it forward.
I copied this obituary this morning from the LA Times, just a reminder to everyone that #covid is NOT over. #COVID19#maskup I am not related to this lady, but on this mother’s day please protect those you love. #covidisnotover#covidisairborne#science
Reports coming in from all over the world, patients with severe lung scarring, some of whom presented rheumatologic symptoms -- rashes, arthritis, muscle pain -- that often accompany interstitial lung disease. MDA5-autoimmunity and Interstitial Pneumonitis Contemporaneous with COVID-19, or MIP-C for short.
Gentleman appears to be blaming covid lockdowns for mental health issues among young people, which in turn is causing high absenteeism. It couldn't be that the pandemic is not over, nooo.
"the number of people out of the labour force because of ill health is up by a third on pre-pandemic levels."
Also no mention of the #ClimateCrisis when wondering why despair is doubling.
I for one am glad she's back...because that quote below is my life for the last five years; the world in microcosm:
"You admit you're scared. You admit you don't know what to do. You stop. You listen. You look for answers. You come up with a plan. You abandon your previous assumptions about reality. You adjust to the new reality in front of you." #climate#COVID#COVID19#CovidIsNotOver
"Four years ago this week, Donald Trump claimed that the U.S. had 'met the moment and … prevailed,' not over COVID-19, but over the test shortage that had hobbled the nation's response for over four months as the virus spread around the world and across the country. As with most things Trump said about the pandemic, that was a lie."
"Über die Abwehr von #LongCovid als sozialpolitische Frage, die Moral der Pandemiepolitik, die Niederlage der instrumentellen Vernunft und die Aufgaben einer humanen Gegenrationalität."

"People who misunderstood airborne spread needlessly wore masks on outdoor walks and veered off sidewalks to avoid their neighbors."
people have closed face-to-face distance on me incredibly fast, and I was caught scrambling to put on a mask, when I could otherwise have already been wearing one
