Yes, same, correlation is not the same as cause… in the narrow sense: it’s not only or necessarily a Covid vax that reduces all-cause mortality risk at a population level (18-59yo; ~23m vs. 6m!). On the other hand, stepping back, this study does quantify a general ‘prevention benefit’, which is of course based on many things, including socioeconomic status.

Rudd summarised (in part), quoting study authors: "Although vaccinated individuals in our study were generally older and tended to have more comorbidities -- factors that would typically bias the association toward higher mortality in the vaccinated group -- this was not observed in the crude hazard ratio," Zureik and colleagues wrote. People who were vaccinated were more socioeconomically advantaged and probably had better healthcare management, they added, factors that "may partly explain the observed negative association between vaccination and mortality, counterbalancing the effects of age and comorbidities." End quote.

WonderIng if other similar studies exist; needs a more careful read including refs.

Unacceptable Covid risks & actual: “"When children were assessed separately the risk for mortality among those with multiple long-term conditions increased to almost three times (2.8) the risk of those without. The mortality rates are 22% and 8% respectively"” 😤
both rates are unacceptable when there is so much we can still do to prevent transmission is children: mask up! Clean the shared air in child care & school settings; convince politicians that our children deserve better!

Hey, FNAME, very sorry to hear that your wife and oldest kid have covid!

When my spouse and youngest got covid last year, we hustled to do several things, that might be applicable to your situation:

#N95 masks on everyone.
Isolation in their bedrooms.
Food delivered like room service.
Box fans in windows to exhaust air.
Paxlovid Rx to stop virus inside them.
Lots of covid RAT tests to track illness.
Updated covid boosters when possible.

Keep us updated?

At the hospital recently for spouse's simple procedure.

In pre-op room, nurse double-takes our #N95 masks and makes some weird awkward comment,

"Oh! In 2020, everyone was so afraid. All mask. But then time went by, couple years, and #covid is over. But, but you are still afraid! Why? Huh?"

We stare silently, just get through it and get out.

In Surgery waiting room later I sit alone waiting, my mask pulled tight, people round me coughing and hacking.

A headline that needs something else or perhaps a more sensitive expression: “Long Covid is continuing to linger in the workplace, and businesses struggle to cope.”
Because I’m pretty sure the people who suffer from Long Covid also struggle to cope with it.

Linked question: have workplaces done anything to either support workers or prevent transmission? Are they cleaning the shared air, for instance? (Especially with current estimates of ~40% of those with Covid-19 being asymptomatic.)

Sounds like an *excellent* public health program: “We want the Government to set new rules on air quality and infection control in health and social care settings, to prevent and control airborne infections, with new ventilation and filtration requirements, new PPE standards and staffing rules, and monitoring and inspection to ensure compliance..."

Here’s hoping more than enough people sign the petition to get immediate action. 🙂

8 days since testing covo +ve and around 24 hours since the last antiviral and my RAT result is at a level that almost needs image enhancement software to show the +ve line. It's the barest hint of a shadow.

Vs the first time I got covo and was clearly positive for 13 days.
I assume that means the antivirals have done a good job.

5/ ...and if you didn't know me from before April 2020 and aren't a member of my immediate family or a handful of friends I've been outside with since
then, you've never seen my face without it.

I do this because I really have no choice. And, unfortunately (this is the hard part, finally), neither do you.

Grieve with us today, fellow #Democrats and liberals who left us behind when it no longer was cool to care about #Covid.

Welcome to the world of loss that we have been experiencing for over a year now, as friends and family drifted away, unsettled by the sight of an #N95 or any mention of the most destructive pathogen in a hundred years.

And now what do you have, after cheering at those unmasked rallies, with no results to show for throwing away your integrity?
