CW: Snotty nose stuff
Mind blown by the pharmacist today. Leaving this here for anyone who suffers from hay fever, allergies, sinus problems etc like I do.
The pharmacist, not my regular one, explained how to use this nasal spray I've been prescribed. I rolled my eyes - who doesn't know how to use nasal spray right??
"Right hand, left nostril; left hand, right nostril," he said. "You have to cross over to get the angle right. If you go same side, it just goes down your throat. You want it in the sinus." How was I never told this?!

‘Of concern’: New COVID variant hits Australia.
University of South Australia professor of biostatistics Adrian Esterman said it was “very difficult” to get hold of data on Arcturus (XBB.1.16), but early indications suggested it could be as much as 20% more transmissible than the recent Kraken (XBB.1.5) variant.

Aussie hearts paying the price for poor COVID routines.
New heart research appears to confirm fears COVID-19 has taken a toll on the health of Australians by confining them indoors, deprived of opportunities to exercise and exposed to poor diets and sleep routines.

CW: CW: COVID19 and thoughts on where we're headed with the virus
It's deeply concerning to see signs that many countries around the world are moving from viewing the virus as a Pandemic to accepting it's Endemic. In other words, it's here for decades or longer. "Let it rip" has been a disastrous failure of government public health policy because "hybrid immunity" is a myth. It always was.
Our best hope of eradicating the virus in our lifetime is development of an omnivalent COVID vaccine. That said, it's more likely that permanent protection from COVID will instead be an option that's taken-up only by people who are well-off, educated, and not immune-compromised.
For those who still look at stats, roughly speaking, it seems like the Reff (effective reproduction rate) on Australia is hovering around 1.0 with fluctuations from approximately 0.8 to 1.2 depending on seasonal cycles and the yearly social/work/school calendar. I know a number of people who've caught COVID two or three times, and I'm certain that some of them are catching it again right now now due at xmas/NYE events and holiday travel.
For the foreseeable future, the majority of people will catch COVID once or twice a year. It's like how people think it's "normal" to catch a serious cold or the flu every year. It's because people aren't taking enough precautions with masks and isolation, and governments and business aren't working to set good standards for ventilation.
Getting sick with COVID carries about a 20% chance of it leading to chronic illness or some form of Long COVID. Catching COVID multiple times means you gamble and roll the dice every time to see if you get Long COVID.
In 2023, it's important that you keep-up:
- Wearing a mask when indoors in public.
- Working from home if possible.
- Doing a RAT if you have any symptoms.
- Caring about people with chronic illness.#COVID #COVID19 #COVID19Aus #CovidIsNotOver #Pandemic #Endemic #COVIDEndemic #LetItRip #LongCOVID #HybridImmunity
