Looks like everyone has basically forgotten about #COVID19.
A friend of mine just tested positive yesterday, but yeah, just cram into restaurants indoors and whatever.

This piece goes on a bit but is a useful critique of the "vaccine only" strategy for #Covid19
He says, nursing a sore arm from yesterday's re-innoculation.
Does the public understand that "variant" means "vaccine resistant"?

Does the public understand that "variant" means "vaccine resistant"?
Getting boosted is critical because the virus is changing. Other forms of mitigation are critical to slow the rate of change.

Ambient carbon dioxide concentration correlates with SARS-CoV-2 aerostability and infection risk

Ambient carbon dioxide concentration correlates with SARS-CoV-2 aerostability and infection risk - Nature Communications
Carbon dioxide concentration has previously been used as a proxy for overall ventilation efficiency to indirectly estimate the risk of indoor SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Here, authors investigate whether the concentration of carbon dioxide also has a direct mechanistic role in improving transmission efficiency.

So you know those papers released suggesting that #COVID19 has been killing B-cells, and so degrading or eliminating immune memory? I went to the lab to get my own blood tested, results just came back: I don't have any detectable antibodies against measles.
MMR booster scheduled for next week. Hopefully before the next #Measles outbreak.

I have #LongCOVID, so my body is fucked. It feels like it is slowly dying on me. But the deepest damage the ongoing pandemic has done to me personally, is that it has made me lose my last shred of hope in humanity. The decrease in solidarity and the increase in ableism that i experienced, either because it was directed towards myself or because i observed it all around, in society at large, has sent me into complete despair.
The social contract has been broken, when the weakest no longer get protected. Which opens up the path for fascism to spread. And neither the radical leftists nor the feminists, who usually write solidarity, antifascism, yadda yadda onto their flags, seem to make the connection.
Never before have i felt so lonely, so utterly desperate. There is not one chance in hell that we can tackle the even bigger issues, like the climate crisis, inequality or migration, when we have failed to mobilize in order to combat the organized abandonment and slow murder that has been unleashed during this pandemic against our chronically ill and disabled siblings.
The radical leftist project has failed.
Capitalism and fascism have won.
But way too few even notice this.

Chest has been feeling a bit tight for a few days so I've taken the #COVID19 antigen test for the first time in I don't know how long. Aa-aaad... Still negative.

Will Peter Miller win the "Rootclaim Challenge" debate with Saar Wilf on the origins of COVID-19?
Resolved YES. Important: in the case of a draw (both judges undecided, or a split decision), this market resolves N/A, not NO. Rootclaim is an organisation, founded by Saar Wilf, that performs analysis and makes truth claims on various, possibly controversial matters. One current such claim is that COVID-19 originated in a lab leak, with high probability. Rootclaim has a standing offer called the Rootclaim challange, in which someone who disagrees with their analysis may challenge them to a d…

La crise du Covid-19 a plombé l'espérance de vie moyenne à travers le monde
L'espérance de vie moyenne, qui ne cessait de progresser depuis des décennies à travers le monde, a subitement décliné en 2020 et 2021 pendant le plus gros de la pandémie de Covid-19, selon une étude parue mardi dans le Lancet.

COVID infections are causing drops in IQ and years of brain aging, studies suggest | CBC Radio
Researchers are trying to understand the profound effects of COVID-19 on the brain, looking at how it disrupts the blood-brain barrier, how it affects brain volume, and showing that even a mild case of COVID can lead to the equivalent of seven years of brain aging.

Our #COVIDcautious lifestyle has increasingly pushed us into social isolation. Which has resulted in a siege mentality of sorts, where it's the two of us against the rest of the world. Family and friends were lost to us due to the push towards the normalization of the ongoing pandemic by a neoliberal order under late stage capitalism. It individualized responsibility, which not only forced us deeper under siege, but also made us increasingly lonely.
We tried to reach out to other people in similar situations, but no one seemed interested to engage with us in a committed way. #MutualAid, #GermPods, #CommunalCare, #CirclesOfTrust, it all sounded good in theory. But they were not happening for us.
What can we do?
We would be really grateful for some leads.
