"SARS-CoV-2-infected interstitial macrophages, the scientists have learned, morph into virus producers and squirt out inflammatory and scar-tissue-inducing chemical signals, potentially paving the road to pneumonia..."

To misquote Bill Clinton, it will impact the economy, stupid.

"Long Covid is now prevalent in the UK population, with the most recent estimates in March 2023 revealing 1.9 million people living with the condition, of which 1.6 million people are working age.
With a growing evidence base revealing the impact of Long Covid on health and livelihoods... there are questions about the long-term economic implications for wider UK society."

No! This is NOT proof of lab origin of COVID. This is fear and hatred and bias pretending to be proof.

There is more than ample proof of natural origin of this virus. The phylogenetic divergence across China and Italy by January 2020 make that clear.

@samohTmaS First you clearly didn't read the article. You also have no clue who Jeffrey D. Sachs is, and his stellar, world-renowned reputation.

Until there is actual proof that it came from natural origin (four years later and still nothing to lend evidence to this theory), all theories should be explored. As this article points out, there are far more evidence pointing to lab leak.

Next time read the article before opining on my timeline.

US government failure to protect frontline workers from led to thousands of deaths, scientists say.

"CDC's insistence that the virus could be controlled by limiting exposure to droplets through surgical masks, distancing, and handwashing contributed to OSHA's inability to promote optimal control measures."

Unfortunately, this tragedy continues today.

This research article in International Journal of Infectious Disease states:

*Over half of long Covid patients have not recovered after 18 months, regardless of variant.

*Similar patterns of symptoms and severity of long Covid across all four variants

*Patients infected with Omicron may experience severe non-improving long Covid.

Did you know that can remain suspended in the air for 12+ hours in aerosols?
An aerosol particle the size of 1μm or less takes over 12 hours to fall to the ground from a height of 1.5 m (5 ft).

This is why air filtration and ventilation is so important, as is masking when sharing indoor air with others.

Got my booster today at Costco. level near the pharmacy area wasn't great, especially inside the tiny vaccine room where my read 1180+. But the pharmacist was wearing a mask (she apologized that it wasn't an N95 but employees are only provided surgical masks 🙄). Thankfully there was a HEPA filter running.

@drclareharris Was your pharmacist or technician wearing a mask? Based on what I've read on social media, I was very lucky to have gotten a pharmacist who knew to mask and apologized for not wearing an N95.

It seems majority of people getting their Novavax at Costco are finding no one masked at the pharmacy. 😟

The Economist used global excess deaths to arrive at the true death toll from the pandemic with a 95% confidence interval.

"Although the official number of deaths caused by is now 7m, our single best estimate is that the actual toll is 27.5m people. We find that there is a 95% chance that the true value lies between 17.8m and 30.8m additional deaths."

@caseyjonesed It's not just right wing lies. More people in the US have died under the Biden administration. Both parties have put economy over lives. Covid minimization and gaslighting has been shared equally by both parties.

MadhouseMuse,
@MadhouseMuse@mstdn.social avatar

@cynblogger @caseyjonesed Yes! When you compare apples to apples with Trump vs. Biden, the latter still had more Covid deaths on his watch during a similar time frame. This shouldn't have been so since the vaccine was available when Biden got into office. But it was his administration's horrible handling that caused MORE deaths.

You're seriously not making Covid a partisan issue at this point, are you? Both parties have carried out EXACTLY the same policies.

Wow!😳 Texas teacher fired after assigning an illustrated Anne Frank book

Censoring one of the most important works documenting the Holocaust and punishing the teacher who dared teach it is pretty much in line with what fascists do. Horrific antisemitism.

"Masks work. Distorting science to dispute the evidence doesn’t.

New mask studies relying on a medical paradigm do not erase decades of engineering and occupational science that show they work."

For an airborne infectious disease, it's important to lower inhalation dose. "The ways to do so don't require empirical RCTs. Basic engineering science will do." -Richard Corsi
