"Deutsche 4 Tage mehr krank als 2020"
No shit, Sherlock.
Da war doch was 2020?
Dann haben Lobbys drauf gedrängt, die Menschen schnell wieder in Arbeit, Kita & Schule zusammenzudrängen - ohne echte Infektionsschutzmaßnahmen.
Das kostet ja Geld.
Jetzt sind die halt öfter krank.
Das kostet auch Geld.

The world must recognize that the U.S. is now as unpredictable as Russia. No longer a dependable ally, the United States has evolved into a primary threat to global civilization and planetary survival.
They are a true Danger for us all.
Trump has started lifting sanctions on companies that sell weapons to the Russian military. The Russians have finally offered enough money to the Trump family, and Trump is now fully on Russia’s side. This is blatant corruption.

Très ironiquement, c'est au chaud qu'on "attrape froid", dans les lieux clos où l'air est insuffisamment renouvelé.

La qualité de l'air intérieur #QAI -- qu'on respire -- peut être contrôlée en mesurant la concentration de CO2. C'est très facile à faire.

Finalememt, j'avais demandé pourquoi aucun vaccin n'est disponible en Suisse pour les moins de 5 ans.

Réponse : aucune politique de protection des jeunes enfants. C'est au Marché et à sa Main Magique de s'en occuper. Le néolibéralisme dans toute sa splendeur.

J'avais également demandé comment la protection des vaccins contre le risque de COVID-long avait été intégrée dans les recommandations.

Réponse : en gros, seules les personnes à risque de formes graves sont également à risque de COVID-long.

Les conséquences à long terme du COVID, chez l'adulte comme chez l'enfant, est un angle mort total de la politique de prévention en Suisse. L'OFSP et la CFV préconise de ne vacciner que les personnes "à risque" de développer des formes "graves" du COVID.
Dazu gehörten die Verharmlosung der Infektionsfolgen bei Kindern, die fehlende Aufklärung der Bevölkerung über Langzeit- und Spätfolgen sowie die mantramässig wiederholten Beteuerungen, die “unvermeidlichen” Ansteckungen mit den “milden” Omikron-Varianten würden zu einer “breiten” Immunität führen.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

Since they've no intention of halting the spread of the current pandemic it's hardly surprising they would care about a future one.
Thankfully, our friends at CATA are on the case and have issued an open letter to the Chair of the Covid Inquiry (Baroness Hallett) raising the alarm that the NHS appear to think “it would be a waste of public health resources & capacity” to even attempt to halt the spread of a new pandemic virus…

UK response these days to problems: "we give up in advance".
NHS England: “It will not be possible to halt the spread of a new pandemic virus, and it would be a waste of public health resources and capacity to attempt to do so.”

This has got to be one of the most 🤯 things I’ve ever seen written down in an official document.
