#Strep, #bacterial & #fungal infections are all on the rise, along with our beloved and protected viruses such as #covid, #rsv, #flu, #measles and as a side effect/bonus, #pneumonia. Our society is hard at work ensuring we get sicker and sicker, over and over again, allowing these bugs to thrive and - eventually - dominate.
This behaviour strikes me as... curious.
I will have no part of it. I will protect myself and those around me by extracting myself from risky public situations, and using a high-quality #respirator like an #n95 anytime I am around other people. No bugs in, no bugs out.
Yesterday the Physician's Assistant at Dad's assisted living facility warned us against a new #Crud. Some unidentified respiratory thing going around. Ugly #Cough, takes 2 weeks to get over, not the traditional symptoms of the other nasty #COVID19#RSV#Pneumonia#Flu
Now youngest son and spouse have it.
We moved my sister's bday celebration from yesterday to today because we had workers (short notice) pressure washing the house. Good thing, I guess.
Dad has a UTI, of course. #Sick
Those are the words of Natalie, a Covid survivor who went hiking on her wedding day. Now she spends her life in a darkened bedroom. Meanwhile, a world-class trail runner named Emilia kills herself after a Covid infection leaves her with an unstable heart. Around the world, smart talented young men & women are losing their careers after #Covid ravages their organs, their brains, their #immune systems. Some of them will recover. Some might benefit from treatment. Many of them will never be the same.
These were musicians, writers, scientists, athletes.
They were the future.
So, we have a virus that's incredibly contagious. It kills some people immediately. For everyone else, it damages your brain. It damages your heart and blood vessels. It damages your immune system, making you vulnerable to other diseases. It shortens your telomeres. It ages you." https://www.okdoomer.io/its-that-bad/
2/ "Every infection makes things worse. If we let #Covid continue to spread like this, it will eventually turn every single healthy person into a disabled one. We're watching it happen. It doesn't even have to reach that point to upend our daily lives. There's already an intense labor shortage, so bad that states are rolling back child labor laws & putting 14-year-olds to work. We're seeing Adderall shortages & surges in nootropics (brain drugs) as people try to self-medicate their undiagnosed neurological disorders. Test scores are down. Traffic accidents are up. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, worker productivity is "declining at the fastest rate in 75 years." Meanwhile, diseases from #pneumonia to #tuberculosis are filling up ERs & emptying pharmacies. Everywhere you look, you see the impact of Covid." https://www.okdoomer.io/its-that-bad/
OK, who's dreaming of a white (lung) Christmas? Me neither. Wouldn't it be a really great thing if we all started wearing white respirator-style masks and pretended they were Santa beard costumes? Maybe then I might actually believe in Santa. Or something. #Covid#pneumonia#WearAMask
Based on the latest data from the #DepartmentOfHealth (DOH), a total of 158,762 #pneumonia cases were reported from January to October, a 46-percent jump from the 108,982 infections recorded during the same period in 2022. #WalkingPneumonia#Philippines
Zojuist #LongCovid in nieuws bij #EenVandaag: (eindelijk) start Nederlands onderzoek... particulier gefinancierd 👏🏼Aanvulling: het zijn niet alleen 90.000 bedlegerigen. Daarnaast vele 100.000-en die in meer of mindere mate beperkt zijn in hun leven.
