Kids get Long Covid. Kids die at 4× the rate of flu from acute infection (that 7–10 days you felt sick, didn’t test, went back to work, and spread it). LC has no cure. 1 in 3 risk lasting damage. LC can & will destroy lives. Probably yours & your kids’ if you don’t utilize airborne protections.

Trump's latest shitshow is to detract from inflation and his ruinous tariffs. As Hitler and Stalin knew, in times of trouble, find a bogeyman.

The US now has no vaccine advisory committee, no CDC director, and an anti-vaxxer as Health Secretary.

Australia: Over 65,000 COVID, 81,000 Influenza, and 50,000 RSV cases reported nationwide so far this year. You can be infectious 48 hrs before symptoms. Stay home if unwell. If you go out, wear a mask and avoid indoor or crowded places. #COVID19Australia #COVIDisNotOVER

A virus that infects the brain. The outcome will not be a good one. Look at the available research. Let alone a young developing brain. The kids are getting sick enough that parents are bringing them in with long covid symptoms. It is just sad that we have failed our future generations.

This RIKEN study demonstrates progressive improvement in source control and wearer protection as the filtration and/or fit factor are enhanced. Upgrading from a mask to a respirator results in a dramatic reduction in aerosol leakage.

“It’s taking off pretty quickly,” said Professor Catherine Bennett, warning that “if you’re exposed, you’re more likely to catch it.” She added, “We might be in for a bigger winter wave,” and COVID deaths were 5x higher than flu—"So COVID-19 is still to be taken seriously"

Folks, this is a five alarm fire. Congress must stop Trump and Elon's coup. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121 This isn't just a battle for checks and balances. It's a battle between democracy and dictatorship.

If you see firefighters👩‍🚒👨‍🚒wearing masks— there is a reason—they work. Wearing a well-fitting, high-quality mask like N95, P100 or better, can protect you from wildfire smoke and respiratory viruses like flu, COVID-19 and RSV. ➡️I also recommend a HEPA filter for your home & car.

Why aren’t we doing more to acknowledge that flu covid RSV and noravirus are spread in a large part by aerosols?

You may lack the discipline and the strength to do what needs to be done. You may decide to slack off and surrender to infections. You do you. But don't try to impose your mediocrity on others. Don't expect rational people with a spine to surrender like you. It ain't happening.

As we end 2024, we are in a summer wave of COVID-19, with more than 50% of samples due to XEC. December data are incomplete, so numbers will keep increasing, especially after Xmas and New Year. I would like to take the opportunity to wish all of my followers a healthy, safe and happy New Year.

SA Health received 361 COVID-19 notifications this week, up from 342 last week, with the 4-week moving average at 320 and rising. Last week, 14.5% of COVID PCR tests were positive, the highest rate for over a year.

Those of you who think COVID only affects elderly and the “vulnerable” If you’ve been infected just once, consider yourself VULNERABLE You might disagree but your immune and vascular system won’t

Well judging by the pile on that is occurring @toshiakima.bsky.social I’d say my point is well supported with evidence I’ve said nothing controversial yet the LWNJs just like the RWNJs pile on for the brawl Choose your poison: BS or X

Dr. Arijit Chakravarty: "I think that if you’re out there taking COVID seriously, and if you’re out there still trying to avoid repeated infections, you’re still doing the right thing. It is still possible to avoid being infected and a worthwhile goal."
