Plague Poems @plaguepoems.bsky.social · 8h

With every new variant
with every new wave
there are warnings
of which new symptoms
you need to watch for,
and yet
with every new variant
with every new wave
the main symptom
you need to watch for
is everyone around you
insisting that they
just have a weird cold.

Another study showing links between COVID and cancer.

“The findings underscore the importance of understanding the interplay between viral infections and cancer development, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Study: Individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection had significantly higher risks of developing HPV-related cancers: a 67% increase in cervical cancer, 131% in vaginal cancer, 98% in vulvar cancer, 92% in anal cancer, and 78% in oropharyngeal (throat) cancer.

Like the Tories, the Labour government is trying to drive down the number of people who qualify for disability benefits by insisting there has been an epidemic of “overdiagnosis”: a favourite theme of the BBC and the junktanks of Tufton Street. Never mind the science: what outcome do we want?

This is precisely what happens when a concerted effort is made by governments, public health, and the media to downplay or erase Covid-19.

I don't think people fully understand how remarkable this is. In 2024 China was installing the equivalent of five large nuclear power plants worth of wind and solar every single week. Now look at 2025.

There are dozens of charts just like this one across the vast swaths of transportation & energy. If you're living in an 1800s technology pipeline world, you're living in a delusion.

China installed more than twice as much solar capacity in the first half of 2025 as the rest of the world combined

It’s certainly made me realize that I wasn’t as healthy as I thought I was. I caught everything that came into my classes. I won’t go back to that. I’ve had strep throat countless times, pneumonia 3 times and was reliant on a puffer. All gone.

People under 25 collapsing at concerts isn’t a mystery — it’s COVID and Long COVID. Both can trigger POTS and other post-viral issues, but too many still ignore that reality.

Screenshot of a tweet by Fin replying to Sam Parker.

Sam’s tweet reads: “not to be so millennial but why is everyone under 25 about to collapse and die of thirst at concerts now.”

Fin responds: “it’s Covid it’s fucking Long Covid which causes POTS and a plethora of other issues. y’all need to stop asking these questions if you’re gonna ignore the answer.”

French pharmacies run out of Covid tests as cases soar.

Up to 150,000 COVID ‘auto-tests’ were sold last week amid a surge linked to the new XFG variant.

Self-tests give results in 15 mins but are only ~70% accurate, meaning 3 in 10 positive cases could be missed.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
