#COVID cases are now up to 23 per lakh population per day in #NYC, well below last fall's peak. ER visits for #COVID19 are now at half of one percent of all ER visits, a small percentage. And we still haven't seen a single COVID death since the beginning of May!
We are up to 53 #Flu and 25 #RSV cases citywide.
#COVIDIsNotOver and I'm hoping the cool weather will nip this wave in the bud. I still #WearAMask in pharmacies, doctors' offices, and in crowded trains, planes and buses!

Another week, another slight rise in #COVID cases and emergency room visits in #NYC, another week without a #COVID19 death! ER visits for COVID are still less than half of one percent of all ER visits.
#Flu and #RSV cases are up by a tiny amount, now 45 flu and 22 RSV cases per day citywide.
#COVIDIsNotOver but let's hope the new school year doesn't turn this into a real wave. And I still #WearAMask in pharmacies, doctors' offices, and crowded trains, planes and buses!

Dear Fediverse, can you please help me find the overlap between these three groups?
A: people willing and eager to wear a respirator indoors
B: people interested in board games
C: people living in or close to berlinI can't be the only one, right? Boosts would be highly appreciated, maybe you know someone who knows someone...? Thank you!

From yesterday, at Saanich Peninsula ER.
Poor public health management on a poster. Surgical masks are better than no masks but they're not strong enough protection against airborne contagious illnesses. If people wait for symptoms to start wearing masks in hospitals - it's already too late. Many airborne contagious illnesses are asymptomatic so people who don't feel sick/look physically sick are still more than able to infect others. Stop the fast public spread of more contagious airborne illnesses by wearing at least an KN95 or N95 mask in every medical setting & anywhere you're indoors with a bunch of strangers.#WearAMask #AirborneInfectionProtection #AirborneInfections #StopTheSpread #CovidIsNotOver #PreventativeHealth #PutYourMaskOn #MaskUp #Hospitals #medical #PublicHealth #IslandHealth #StopEugenics #VIHA #BCHealth #BCPoli #BonnieHenrySocialMurderer #StopSocialMurders #AbleistsSuck #AntiAbleism

Buried in this article by John Snow Project about the changes in Covid mitigation by various countries, is this hypothesis that there was a long US Covid lull this spring/summer because there was a bad winter Flu wave.
I would never advocate for getting Flu (or Covid) to prevent getting a Covid infection. Covid causes internal damage to the brain, heart, liver, vascular & immune systems, lungs, etc. Flu is also much worse to get than a lot of people seem to think, and is not a good way to protect against Covid.
It is interesting to understand how these two viruses play off each other, and also interesting to note that this doesn't happen in reverse; bad Covid waves would not reduce Flu waves.
Everyone wearing a good KN95+ respirator, and advocating for clean air would create much better control of all these viruses. Remember that countries are gambling with widespread Covid infections in their populations because they only care about keeping "enough" people of working age healthy "enough" for the economy.
"Research suggests that prior influenza infection raises interferon levels and reduces the risk of subsequent Covid-19 infection... prior influenza A infection was found to induce a robust type I and III interferon response and broad interferon-stimulated gene upregulation that restricts subsequent SARS-CoV-2 replication within a critical 24 to 72 hour window, while SARS-CoV-2’s own immune evasion means the protection does not run in the opposite direction."
"It is plausible that the influenza wave of 2025/26 provided a protective effect at a population level, stifling Covid-19’s ability to transmit widely."

Doctor's appointment today. The joy of getting older: one of my meds had its dosage increased, and a new drug was added.
One plus of a Friday afternoon appointment (unless it was just random chance): no one was there. Only saw a single other patient. The usual downside, of course: three receptionists, two nurses, two blood techs, two doctors, and zero masks.

I think it's pretty laughable that we're still getting bioterrorism preparedness funds even though people who think #COVID is a bioweapon won't #WearAMask.
Why bother?
-
#NYC #COVID cases and emergency room vists are continuing to rise steadily, and case counts are now equal to last summer's low of 185 cases a day. No new COVID deaths reported!
#Flu and #RSV cases are fluctuating but the trend is still gently upward, currently about 41 flu and 20 RSV cases citywide.
#COVIDIsNotOver but could this summer wave taper off as people spend less time in air conditioning? I still #WearAMask in pharmacies, doctors' offices, and crowded trains, planes and buses!

I believe the doctors and researchers at the Long Covid/post infectious disease conference in Amsterdam should be wearing N95s.
They need to lead by example.
Demonstrate that COVID is not over and that repeat infections only increase your risk of disability.
Stop chains of transmission.

Mixed feelings today watching Covid continue to destroy the health of my MAGA family members. Another one is in the hospital today.
They tell me that their poor health is due to vaccine mandates and some other BS false stuff they claim about masks increasing CO2 and microparticle inhalation. So they would rather believe that the things preventing Covid have caused their health issues.
Instead of the virus. The virus that we know causes brain, heart, vascular, lung, liver, thyroid, immune system, mitochondrial, and other damage. That we now have thousands of studies about.
What can I do? When someone punches a wall, do I feel bad about their broken hand?

@IanMoore3000 I am paralyzed for life from polio vaccine (Saigon 1975) & was a keynote speaker for Lions International for 25 years on polio eradication global campaigns. We faced many similar ignorant mindsets, like yours, over that time. I am forever disabled but still know how vaccines & masking up helped to stop more deaths & disabilities to billions around the world. I am a big picture thinker/practicer. Despite being paralyzed for life - I know vaccines & masking up helped stop more millions from dying & becoming disabled for life. I care more about people who have never faced any disabilities than anyone who has never suffered any lifelong disabilities has ever extended to me.
My Dad was socially murdered by unmasked health care staff in intensive care unit by unmasked hospital staff. He died 3 years ago.
Unmasked reckless people are feeding eugenics. Straight up.

CW: Substack link, Covid and Societal Effects
From @samiahurstmajno an interesting summary about a Swiss task force concerned with Covid's impacts on society and interpersonal relationships.
I am always thinking about the choices that people make, and what drives them. Why did my husband and I become Covid Cautious while so many other people around us did not? Why did only a few in our existing friend group do the same as we have? And how can we possibly relate to our other friends (and family, and coworkers) who did not?

#COVID cases and emergency room visits in #NYC continue to rise, but cases are still lower than the March peak, and that was lower than last summer's low! And we're three and a half months without a #COVID19 death!
#Flu and #RSV cases are starting to rise as well, currently about 38 flu and 22 RSV cases citywide.
Hopefully the cool weather will bring people out of the air conditioning and stop the summer wave. #COVIDIsNotOver so I #WearAMask in pharmacies, doctors' offices and crowded trains!

Probably a bad sign if the American CDC, of all organizations, is announcing #COVID is on the rise. And school largely hasn’t even started yet.

Seeing all the reactions to the new stupid "study" that says HEPA filters don't work because people piss in them.
Just like the stupid mask "study" that said masks don't work because people wear them under their noses.
There will always be idiots who do the wrong thing. That doesn't mean we should design society based on their behavior.
We have a Cyclospora outbreak, should we stop growing and selling food because some people allow feces into some of it? Does it mean that providing food to people doesn't work? Should we write a study to show that? All of these questions are sarcasm on my part.
The goal is for industry to avoid spending money to set up air filtration in public spaces. They will spread whatever misinformation they can. And if people would prefer not to wear masks and maintain air filtration systems then it just helps these corporations.
Yes, not wearing a mask is supporting the will of corporations trying to make more money. They will happily kill you to make a buck. And they can see your smile as they do it...

The Long-COVID Crisis: No Cure, Little Attention
“Long COVID was recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) nearly 6 years ago; you can’t say there is no definition!” said Pauline Oustric, president of the association #AprèsJ20 Association COVID Long France. “Yet we still see denial and a tendency to psychologize this disease.”

Promising new antiviral Ensitrelvir (Xocova) used for post exposure prophylaxis for Covid-19. When taken within 72 hours of exposure, reduces symptomatic Covid-19 by 67%. The antiviral could cut the risk of not just COVID-19, but also acquiring new diseases triggered by COVID-19, including Long COVID.
https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/121530
It has been approved by the FDA to treat adolescents and adults:

The antivax sentiment in one of the most notorious red states is trying to move forward with disabling and killing its populace, starting with kids.

We're slowly reaching a point where so many people will have been deeply effected by #Covid19 that the general populace will have a harder time ignoring it.

Long COVID potentially affects nearly 6 million children in the US. This South Shore teen is one of themDefined as a chronic condition that lasts for at least three months after a COVID infection, long COVID is diagnosed not by a single test but by a pattern of symptoms that cannot otherwise be explained. Those symptoms can include fatigue, headaches, brain fog, sleep disruption, and pain, but they often look different depending on age.

As Measles Takes Toll on Kids, Anti-Vaxxers Have Change of HeartFor some vaccine-hesitant parents...who’ve been goaded by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., watching an outbreak rip through their state has made the deadly realities of the disease more concrete.
They’re starting to question their own deeply held beliefs and the conspiracy theories that fueled them. And in several measles hotspots, enough of them are quietly changing their minds on the MMR shot that it’s slowing down the outbreaks.

And yet another reason of thousands to not get Covid in the first place...
Long COVID May Increase Your Heart Disease Risk
Long COVID was associated with a substantially higher risk for new-onset cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly cardiac arrhythmias and coronary artery disease, in both women and men, with additional risks for heart failure and peripheral arterial disease in women.

Study links long COVID in kids to worse grades, attention, and social life
Children and adolescents with long COVID are significantly more likely to experience worsening grades, difficulty concentrating, and having limited fun with friends, according to a new study published in Academic Pediatrics.
“Given that both educational performance and positive peer interactions are key developmental tasks among both school-age children and adolescents, our findings demonstrate important functional impairments that extend beyond the clinical symptomatology that has been described to date,” the researchers write. “Such impairments of desirable child developmental experiences may have long-term implications well into adulthood.”

Do You Have Unexplained Symptoms? They Might Be Post-Viral
The common wisdom about catching a virus is that in a few days—a few weeks, tops—everything will be back to normal. And in many cases, that’s true.
But as the flood of Long COVID cases during the pandemic demonstrated, sometimes it can take much, much longer. Additionally, doctors and scientists are realizing that post-viral symptoms can be more subtle than the crushing fatigue and brain fog commonly seen in Long COVID and other post-acute infection syndromes, as these conditions are known.

For people with the head for it, this study seems like a "...and water is wet" comment since this has been common knowledge for years, but it's still important for the everyday person to receive this important information:

I've been passing this article that came out in January:
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/12/nation/heart-failure-deaths-in-us-covid-pandemic/?s_campaign=8315:varfI decided to search for the original article - the Globe seems to have picked it up first, but that's not the concerning thing.
The search reminded me that the resulting heart damage caused by Covid has been studied CONSTANTLY since the original pandemic started. But to the everyday Joe Schmoe, Covid is over and "It's only a cold".
"Sorry your seemingly healthly 30 year old son dropped dead of a heart attack." But his chart will often show us that he had previously contracted Covid. It doesn't have to be a bad infection to cause this kind of damage.
We can never really know if it was really what caused the issue. Only research like this can confirm what we already suspected, #Covid19 can cause harmful long-term outcomes.

New-Onset Allergies Another Woe for Patients With Long COVID
Researchers examined immunologic and inflammatory profiles in people with long COVID, comparing blood samples from patients who fully recovered from acute SARS-CoV-2 infection with those who developed prolonged symptoms... suggested long COVID is associated with persistent immune dysregulation, characterized by chronic inflammation, immune exhaustion, and disrupted energy metabolism.

I'm going to be at #PAXEast this coming Thursday (26 March)! I'm not much for the enormous booths and hour-long lines, but I love all the smaller developer tables, the panels and presentations, and the general spectacle of it all.
Also all the #3DS #StreetPass hits.
If anyone else is attending and wants to say hi in person, let me know.

#ThrowbackThursday 2022.
I miss Dad very much 😢 ❤️ He's been gone for over 2 years now.
I remember this day well. It was an excellent family bonding day. We had a nice dinner after a short walk together. 3 months after this photo was taken, Dad had to go to ER for a leg muscles issue. He was infected with covid by unmasked hospital staff. It happened shortly after our eugenics government removed public masking mandates. Dad ended up dying from covid related cardiac arrest, the following Summer.I have never forgiven the #BCgovernment or #unmasked #hospital staff for killing my Dad. We had him fully protected with home #caregiving for years. It took less than 2 days in hospital for him to get #covid.
Please #WearAMask. Please don't let my Dad & others who died from getting covid from unmasked people, to be forgotten. It could be you or your family members, next. Covid doesn't care if you believe in it or not - it will end up wrecking your life, one way or another.

Not a single political party in BC cares about #CovidSafety. All of them have opted to go along with #eugenics #PublicHealth policies. Further marginalizing people like me, my Mom, every disabled person, every elderly person, every child & every cautious citizen who is still trying to prevent getting sick from #covid & other #AirborneIllnesses. We have been abandoned by every single politician in BC & federally too. This is government folks doing passive #dehumanization of us. Our lives matter even if they #dehumanize us by normalizing public health eugenics.

There's a popular citizen journalist, Brandon Buckingham, with fundraising video on YouTube. He's in hospital hooked up to a bunch of stuff & has pneumonia & other sicknesses. He has been unmasked & traveling all over the world for awhile. I posted on his hospital vid good luck & I hope he starts #MaskingUp after recovery. I mentioned that I work in health care & that covid, especially multiple infections, tends to trigger pneumonia, organ failures, neuro damage, latent TB activation & more.
