  1. second year in a row where campus sends an email completely minimizing (erasing) Covid-19

    it refers to fall "flu and other respiratory viruses" and only mentions Covid once, in the context of *recommending a flu vaccine*

    guidance here makes little sense on its own terms:

  2. COVID-Impfung in den Reisepraxen

    Die XFG-Impfstoffe werden zur Verfügung stehen und sind selbst zu zahlen.

    Kostenübernahme durch die Krankenversicherungen eher unwahrscheinlich (gibt noch vom Bund beschafften Impfstoff LP.8.1 mit mehr als 7 Mio. Dosen - müssen zuerst verimpft werden).

    Schulferien und Urlaub sind beendet und sorgen nicht nur in Frankreich für steigende COVID-Zahlen.

    😷 Masken schützen (einen selbst und andere)!

    I’ve been quiet--I think I have had this year’s version of COVID for the past week. I am going to describe it, especially for those who don’t think it exists.

  9. Kritische bespreking #PECorona: getuigenissen Carola Schouten & Ferd Grapperhaus. locovid.nl/weekbericht-covid19

    Nog steeds stelt de commissie de verkeerde vragen. Veel mensen op SM vinden dat maatregelen mensenrechten geschonden hebben, maar kritische vragen hierover kunnen makkelijk gepareerd worden: anders code zwart of nóg meer doden.

    De DOELSTELLINGEN waren echter FOUT: de VERSPREIDING vh virus moet geminimaliseerd worden.

  11. 🚨 A Dual Health Crisis in Iran 🚨

    As autumn approaches, Iran is confronting a concurrent wave of both COVID-19 and influenza. This sudden spike is largely being driven by increased travel and a return to crowded, enclosed environments. Ongoing economic hardships are severely deepening the crisis.

  23. Mediterranea Inferno: We’re Not Going on a Summer Holiday 🩷

    Mediterranea Inferno is by solo indie dev Eyeguys in Milan, a one-man team of Lorenzo Redaelli. It launched in mid-2023 and is available on all consoles and PC.

    This is a visual novel and has a narrative set around deconstructing the myth of a stereotypical Italian summer. Set shortly after the end of COVID-19 lockdowns, what plays out is an artistic wonder and all rather cool.

    COVID-19 and Lots of Teens in Mediterranea Inferno

    The plot is about three childhood friends at a summer retreat. Right after the COVID pandemic, they begin to unearth their inner demons as they reconnect as friends and wallow in the heavy Italian heat.

    Claudio, Andrea, and Mida found the pandemic traumatic and are attempting to deal with the aftermath.

    Yes, then, it’s a visual novel. But as the player you also get to pick the activities they do on their summer holiday and guide the narrative from there. Whether it’s a day by the pool, a night in a club, or a waltz into the local countryside, there’s something new to uncover about the trio.

    Here’s how it all plays out, led by its striking visual style.

    It’s a generational story and one with a surprisingly touching edge. There are three hours of gameplay to get/read through, but each ending has a different outcome.

    Thus, you should replay a few times to discover each possible outcome (we’re not adding any spoilers here).

    Mediterranea Inferno is an unusual game, it reminds us of the satirical psychological slasher Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma we just watched last week at the cinema. Peculiar, but it makes you think, and its many merits are often uniquely inspired.

    Mediterranea Inferno Also Has a Fantabulous Score

    Lorenzo Redaelli really did everything in Mediterranea Inferno, too. From the art style down to the often excellent music, he drew and composed the lot. OCCHI DA CLORO is our favourite, just wait for the acoustic section at the end.

    Synth is how we’d class quite a lot of the pieces. The main theme, Inferno, goes into that territory quite a bit.

    At other times it sounds like the Super Metroid (1994) soundtrack or something similar. a very ECLECTIC bag of sounds, one largely designed to sit in the background and guide the narrative.

    But its standout moments are impressive and add up to a memorable visual novel with a lot of pink.

    Und als Politik- und Religionswissenschaftler kann ich gleichzeitig nur betonen, dass die politisch-mediale Verdrängung sowohl die Klimakrise wie auch Pandemien betrifft wie auch die Auswirkungen von Demografie.

    Die Folgen davon zeigen sich massiv auch in Sachsen-Anhalt, wo heute der Landtag gewählt wird… 🗳️

  28. Something that never entered my mind as being an outcome of protecting myself against #COVID19 for six years (& remaining #COVIDfree) is that my brain is reasonably intact (for my age).

    Family, friends and colleagues - who have had #COVID19 at least once, but most of them, much more than that - not so much.

    It's only dawning on me now that I'm losing family & friends due to their #COVIDBrain, not due to them physically dying.

  29. The 2026-2027 #covid #covid19 vaccines are shipping. Maggie Astor has a writeup on the state-by-state availability here. #giftlink

    nytimes.com/2026/08/27/well/li

    Reminder #1: the FDA has approved the vaccines for everyone 65+ and people younger than that if they have conditions that might lead to worse outcomes for infection. You can self-attest to those conditions. The list of conditions is here: cdc.gov/covid/risk-factors/ind.

    Looking over this list, I have to say the bar is not high. Former or current smoker? Physically inactive? BMI over 25? Have a mood disorder? I have had pets that hit a 75% pass rate on this qualifying conditions list, so surely you will find something on this list that applies to you.

    Reminder #2: Washington (and many other states) have standing orders that broaden access even more. and are in effect again this year. In Washington State anyone 6 months or older who do not have vaccine contraindications can get a Covid vaccine without a prescription. Details here: doh.wa.gov/you-and-your-family (but not updated for 2026-2027 yet).

    Reminder #3: Are you a Washington State resident and cost is a barrier? See the "Is there a cost for COVID-19 vaccines?" section of the standing order page for information about the state's Childhood and Adult Vaccines Programs and how to access them.

    EDIT: updated with actual gift link, not the bare url, to the Astor article.

  30. CW: Diabetes Request to share experiences with semaglutide

    My #endocrinologist still can't make up their mind whether I have #diabetes type 1 or type 2 because #COVID19 gave me diabetes. They switched me from #insulin to #metformin and it's working pretty well. They plan to add some #glp1 agonist at some point down the road. Not sure about that though. I know that both insulin and #Semaglutid are hormons that are native to the body. But I just feel (maybe irrational) apprehension towards drugs like #ozempic. Any fellow #diabetic got some experiences to share?

  31. long pauses, excessive use of filler words and difficulty finding what to say could signify deteriorating brain health. [1]

    Um, two of those are among the most commonly noticeable changes in people post-acute-COVID-19:

    One group of [Long COVID] symptoms that can be particularly troubling are language and cognitive difficulties [2]

    and

    Trouble finding words is common in those with long Covid. Fine-grain investigations of cognitive problems in this post-acute infectious syndrome identify deficits in lexical retrieval.

    Damnit.
