If you tell me “I never want to catch #COVID again”, but you are doing absolutely nothing to avoid catching Covid, forgive me but I do not believe you. #covidisnotover
‘Visitors have been banned from Morriston Hospital in Swansea as bacterial and viral infections continue to rise.
7 wards have been closed because of infections caused by norovirus, Covid, flu and Clostridium difficile.’ @BBCNews #CovidIsNotOverhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-67872483
@JoePajak Almost as if #GrossNeglect in terms of #MedicalSafety aka. not mandating people to #KeepMasksOn is inherently bad and goes against everything researchers have learned in the last 200 years...
I'd not consider "not catching 'Rona" as a good thing that happened to me, because it was a huge amount of labour on my end - not physically but mostly emotionally to #KeepMasksOn because #COVIDisAirborne and #CovidIsNotOver yet almost all people decived "Fuck you! We'll forcibly infect and thus kill everyone we please!"
And it doesn't sadden me anymore, it just makes me angry...
@BayesForDays I don't hangout anymore, I just #KeepMasksOn because testing doesn't work when we normalized assholes being allowed to roam free and neither force them to get tested nor force them to mask up!
My son's dad and his stepdaughter have apparently had a "bad flu" this whole past week.
This is a household who stopped masking fall of 2022 and since then have continued to gather indoors at shopping, parties, church, and restaurants. They've had Covid three times that I know of now.
It could be they do have flu this time, but I also wonder if he's saying that to avoid admitting they have Covid a fourth time. (He knows I still mask everywhere.)
Infectivity of exhaled SARS-CoV-2 aerosols is sufficient to transmit COVID within minutes.
"As short as 6 min when a highly infectious individual enters the room or only 1 min if the infected person already has been in the room long enough to reach steady-state concentration of viruses in the air."
"Together, we should fight the forces that want some of us dead, and the rest of us meekly agreeing to their tyranny. The disabled or the chronically ill are considered as surplus under the neoliberal capitalist system – we are no longer of economic value, and thus worthless. Refusing to fight this notion means being subservient & compliant to the interests and wishes of the rich and powerful"
Dass die aktuelle Variante des #Covid19-Virus "mild" verläuft ist keine gute Nachricht, sondern eine Katastrophe. Hier schleicht sich ein vermeintlich harmloses Pathogen in die Menschen, um still und leise seine #Zerstörung vonstatten gehen zu lassen.
Be smarter, #MaskUp !
Some claim scientific studies show masks don’t work, or that surgical masks are as good as N95s. Just released paper shows this claim is false. Masks work, and N95 respirators give a much higher benefit than surgical masks.
The controversy about N95 respirator and mask efficacy is based on claims that studies (RCTs and meta-analyses) have no observed effect. Our paper shows these claims result from the use of incorrect mathematical equations.
I #KeepMasksOn because I avoided 'Rona to this very day with a full face mask and P3R-D + biostop [N100 Equivalent with certified filtering of biohazardous dust and aerosoles]...
My covid awareness is likely amplified because at age 10, I begin working at a flower stand in Laguna Beach CA, throughout the 80s. A red ribbon was put around a tree for every lost soul to AIDS. I saw first hand what a new virus could do to people I loved over time. If Covid is anything remotely like AIDS, we are in deep shit. “The time between HIV transmission and an AIDS diagnosis is usually 10-15 years, but sometimes longer.”-https://www.who.int/news-room/questions-and-answers/item/hiv-aids
The Chaos Communication Congress thrives on the wealth of experience of the community: The Chaos Computer Club invites you to contribute to the content of #37C3. Deadline for applications is 11 November https://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2023/37C3-CfP
@CCC I did consider something for release on #37C3 but since #CovidIsNotOver and you don't seem willing to do the absolute minimum aka. #KeepMasksOn and have a #MaskMandate, that'll be a big nope.
Gerade rechtzeitig, da die Zahl der #Corona-Infektionen wieder steigt und sich hohe Inzidenzen für Herbst/Winter ankündigen, gibt unsere Koryphäe #Drosten ein Interview, in dem er die Notwendigkeit der Impfung kleinredet und das Testen auf #COVID und das Tragen von Masken für unnötig erklärt.
Having seen enough people die a slow and painful death due to 'Rona AND even some SpecOps military guy going from lifting double their own weight and carring it a quarter Marathon from needing an oxygen bottle and stroller just to be able to buy grocieries taught me to #KeepMasksOn!
Because if that person with supreme health got crippled that hard my chances of surviving #Covid would be slim.
Americans have contracted over 50 million#COVID infections in the last 3 months- of SUMMER, mind you - according to a seasoned monitor of wastewater data.
That works out to somewhere between 5 million and 20 million people who will be identified as having #ChronicCOVID.
And even more who have unrealized or invisible symptoms that may result in brain damage, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, etc.
Reminder for everyone who is still taking #covid19 seriously, including avoiding high risk scenarios (indoor/crowded), wearing a mask, and pushing for better air:
It may feel once again/still that we are somehow wrong.
We're not. We're being gaslit (still).
We were not wrong in the past, in every precaution we took. And the data has proven it over time (number of cases, severity of infection, #LongCovid, etc.)
It's still happening, and we will once again be proven right for being safe. Covid has not changed. It has not magically become less dangerous or less transmissable.
The only thing that changed is the visibility and media coverage.
I always ask those wanting me to unmask if tjey'd be able and willing to fork out the cash needed to pay for the cost of lifelong #unemployability if not intensive care due to #LongCovid or sign a bond with said amount deposited.
I've yet to see anyone even ask for the amount in return so why should I put myself at risk knowing they won't cover it.
There's a reason even the takeout delivery drivers are told to #KeepMasksOn because their insurance won't cover gross neglect!

we are never going back to the world the way it was before COVID. we are not in a world where it's safe for you or people around you to stop masking, and there's no reason to believe we'll ever be in such a world again.
2023 represents a qualitative jump in all climate indicators, and the consequences we see—the wildfires, the heatwaves, the droughs, the floods etc.—will not stop. they will only accelerate.
there is no return to "normal". mourn the world that was, so that you can see with clarity the world that is, and be ready for it.
@ramonita that's because we're ruled by antisocial #Wankers that take pride in comitting #democide by inaction and refusing to enforce basic, fact-based quarantine regulations.
We could've gotten rid of this shit if we took it as serious as said #SARS infection it really is.
Instead assholed destroyed the few pandemic and epidemic protections that were codified.
And I've completely run out of spoons at this point!
Dude auf Quora fragt, ob es "jetzt dann auch demnächst" Nahrungsmittelallergien gegen Insekten geben wird, nachdem Insekten von der EU als Nahrungsmittelbestandteile zugelassen wurden.
Leute stellen solche Fragen … und ich frage mich, was falsch gelaufen ist.
Wann kam der Gedanke auf, dass unsere Lebensmittel klinisch sind und komplett frei von Insekten? Wie kommen die auf den Gedanken dass Insekten JETZT neu in die Nahrungskette kommen?
Why won’t people wear #N95s despite the evidence? That’s the #Semmelweis effect. Semmelweis was the Hungarian doctor who discovered that if you washed your hands between performing autopsies and delivering babies, infant mortality drops immensely. But this conflicted with popular opinion at the time, and doctors refused to consider that their (in)actions were the cause of deaths. Semmelweis was sent to an insane asylum where he was beaten by the guards and died. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Semmelweis
@dan613 Also I've seen how #LongCovid turned SpecOps Military Dudes and Sports Students into Cripples that can't walk without a stroller and an oxygen bottle...
And if someone with basically top health gets that, then I'd expect to not survive it.
In meiner Jugend haben wir uns die Namen unserer Lieblingsbands auf die Turnschuhe geschrieben und Buttons an der Jeansjacke getragen. Dass heute der Impfstatus neben dem Profilnamen deklariert wird, finde ich sehr irritierend und befremdlich. In was für einer Zeit sind wir gelandet 😳.
