We often hear 'the #pandemic' in the past tense, but #covid infections are causing massive harm to health and economies. Reduce risk through #ventilation, #filtration and wearing an ffp2 or #ffp3 respirator mask. These actions reduce the likelihood of all airborne infections.

The big science accounts are talking about immune dysregulation due to COVID-19 now.

I. Told. You. So.

Infection does confer antibodies and T cells against C19… but it also takes a wrecking ball to the immune system as a whole.

Stop burning down your house. (Metaphorically.)

The politicians who want to sabotage the United Kingdom's public healthcare system so that their friends can cash in on US-style profiteering are succeeding...

Too much cash in the health industry to ignore. (It'll be positively booming soon... ☠)

The politicians who want to sabotage Canada's public healthcare system so their friends can cash in on US-style profiteering are succeeding, in part because the lack of protections from COVID - and therefore #longCOVID - in healthcare is chiseling away at the workforce.

“The infectivity of NB.1.8.1 was significantly higher (2·5-fold; p<0·0001) than that of LP.8.1. NB.1.8.1 binds more strongly to ACE2 than LP.8.1.5 … the increased fitness of NB.1.8.1 is due to its augmented infectivity rather than its increased immune evasion”.

Just a Wednesday thought.

If we're renaming the Gulf of Mexico (we aren't) - then let's at least get 'America' properly fixed.

Something like 'the United States of North America' - #USNA - or just #NA for short.

Or 'the Semi-United States of North America', or #SUSNA.

#Americans? #YaKiddingMe.

‘Individuals who had COVID-19 exhibited significant changes in brain biomarkers associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

COVID-19-positive individuals exhibited lower cognitive test performance compared to controls – equivalent to almost two years of age-related cognitive decline.’

Hm.

On keeping it together.

The other insidious thread of creeping/sliding individualism is the Wellness Company of the Me, Myself And I Brigade.

My chakras, not yours... aligning myself... not you.

They can't even spell 'well-being' right.

It has a hyphen. It's a triple-consonant thing.

#wellbeing
It requires our voices and participation to keep it. The “We “is greater than the “I.” It’s the creeping individualism that has people thinking in terms of “I” and not “We.” Community is key.

What happens in the Ununited States of North America gets test-driven in post-Putin GB, and shipped off like a virus to Canada & Australia. Or vice-versa.

(Except we 🇬🇧 caught the vile, racist-fascist "Stop The Boats" hatred from Australia.)

(Now: same "Stop The Free Healthcare" in the Four Eyes.)
For those interested in who the actors are behind the Alberta wexit movement, this article explains some of the key actors. Worth a read. (They look like who you expect would be behind the grievance based politics going on here in Alberta). We is greater than I.

This is an accurate picture of my sister now, unfortunately - except that her "Well, you've got "Long Covid" [C-19 complications in the heart, brain and skin] because you don't exercise (like me) and don't look after your "well-being" like me."

(She's caught the fascist wellness-bug-via-yoga-guru.)
RFK Jr. wants everyone to be infected with vaccine-preventable disease.

He thinks it’s no big deal if your infant or your mom undergoing through chemo dies from a VPD.

He thinks that if you die from a VPD, you are weak or you don’t “eat right” or you don’t exercise.

He thinks you deserve it.

This hits home very hard.

We're in an all-lose-stakes game.

I occasionally wish I hadn't done so much reading about C-19. I don't like, at all, what I've read over the past five years.

In fact, the reading only gets worse with time.

(That's the bad news.)

Aaand... that's also the bad news.)

😓
If it is not clear yet, there is a disconnect in what people are experiencing, scientists are seeing, and the government's priorities. Not only in the U.S, but worldwide.

If any media outlet wants to cover this scandal, I have a collection of DMs from #LongCovid patients offering me their brains.

Wonderful interview with David Putrino on reinfections, 'silent' organ damage, and a weakening-to-failing immune system.

One to send to your family and friends - if you're still speaking to them - as kind of a last ditch attempt at helping to spare them incoming pain, and an earlier death.

1. Just come back from shopping in Aldi.

Young woman in her mid-twenties - a cashier - is lying on the floor, looking very sick. She seems unconscious.

A small group of people watch over her.

I ask one if an ambulance has been called: it has.

I choose another aisle, and wait...
