Die #RKI@RKI Waste Water Surveillance Seite wird nicht mehr als Online Dashboard zur Verfügung gestellt (da nur noch Server Error), sondern als Wochenbericht, den man erst runterladen muss und nicht mehr direkt verlinken kann?
So kann man die Nachfrage nach den Daten natürlich auch künstlich reduzieren 🙄
Covid-19 is still as present as it has ever been, and people have every right to continue to protect themselves from it, as well as practise community care, without having to worry about police intervention.
Banning masks also sets a precedent for the next pandemic, which might be sooner than you’d think. As climate change wreaks havoc on ecosystems, animal to human viral transmission becomes more common. #CovidIsNotOver
We need to be working together to solidify our abolitionist and disability justice politics and fight attempts to push eugenics and squash dissent.
This means returning to masking as a regular, everyday practice, as centring the most vulnerable continues to be our best path forward to liberation.
@violetblue 's Covid Sanity Handbook is "a direct challenge to the social and political gaslighting conspiring to make us feel crazy, isolated, hysterical, misinformed, overreacting, excluded, broken, somehow unwilling, or paints us as threatening simply because we do not want a Covid-19 infection."
One of the Covid Sanity Handbook's exemplary stretch goals is a DRM-free audiobook, and it's very close. Help it get there:
The CDC’s reported COVID wastewater levels by state show that viral activity is currently “Very High” in Hawaii and “High” in Utah, Wyoming, and Maine. Wastewater levels are “Low” or “Minimal” across all other reporting states and territories as of May 23
I need some mastodon magic, please.
I'm looking for countries that have introduced or broadened Indoor Air Quality laws since 2020. I'm particularly interested in the implementation/enforcement of those laws, especially in schools, healthcare, public transport...
I'm aware of laws in France, Belgium and Ontario but haven't found much on how it's going.
War in den letzten Jahren irgendwas, was einen explosionsartigen Anstieg von Pflegebedarf verursachen könnte?
Irgendeine systemische pan- und dann endemische Infektion, deren Eindämmung wir komplett aufgegeben haben? Die bei einem geringen aber sich aufsummierendem Anteil von Patient*innen Langzeitfolgen verursacht? Gerade auch bei älterwerdenden Menschen?
Lauterbach wundert sich über den "explosionsartigen" Anstieg bei Pflegebedürftigen. Meint, es müsste irgendwie mit den Boomern zu tun haben.
Really?! 😷🙄
🇳🇿"New Zealand is experiencing its highest peak in COVID-19 cases since December 2022, professor Michael Baker says."
"Despite the recommended isolation period now only being 5 days, Baker suggested people still getting a positive Covid-19 test wait to test again on day 6 or 7 before going back into society."
"The biology hasn't changed," Baker said, but there was more pressure for people to go back to work and school."
It's to celebrate the founder's birthday, so the coupon code is “KEVSTURNING45”.
I'm happy with my Flo Mask—it's the most comfortable well-fitting mask for me as a glasses-wearer. Good protection with minimal fog. (I recommend getting the optional foam condensation insert, which also helps reduce fogging.)
So many diseases are spread via the respiratory system. Air hygiene should be a big thing now. It works against all of them. Even before there's a vax.
If only we'd done these, we'd be totally ready.
Clean air in schools ✅
Respirators being worn widely ✅
Good infection control in hospitals ✅
#CovidIsNotOver and yet we're talking about the "next" pandemic.
So in today's Q&A, the Minister of Education was asked what does she think should be done now that schools have become a meat grinder chewing through teachers, relievers, aids and students and if sending sick kids to school would make it worse. (my paraphrase)
Her answer was that they recognise that and are working hard on making sure more meat is available to throw into the grinder. (my paraphrase again)
No actual solutions there. No ability to adapt to reality.
