My past 1.5 hour with client for her 2 hospital appointments have basically been spent in hallways/waiting rooms & reminding staff they can't come near me or my client without wearing a mask. I've had to remind my client that she doesn't need to thank me, multiple times for being vigilant about keeping her safe. Just because some folks are terminally ill - it doesn't mean anyone has the right to rob them of living out the rest of their lives, as safely as possible. She's still has 1/4 of bucket list to check off & I'm helping her make that happen.
Every one has the right to demand masking from health care staff. Don't let eugenics enablers convince you otherwise.

The medical establishment is resistant to change.
Semmelweis, who discovered the benefits of hand washing for infection control, was fired & put in an insane asylum.
Folks, doctors included, will deny reality as long as possible.
Maskers need to stand strong, the tides will shift eventually.

Huge cuts at NIOSH mean that those who reply on respirators to keep themselves safe will have less protection. This impacts firefighters, miners, healthcare workers and all manner of industries.
It’s also devastating to the disability community.
“You do you” Covid policies left many of us with N95s as our main line of defence against repeat infection.
Respirators make public spaces accessible. They allow us to attend healthcare appointments without forced infection.
Cutting the people who ensure their quality will endanger disabled lives.

This is mind boggling. Infection control literally becomes “infections welcome” if you refuse to follow the science.
They should be emphatically supporting N95s in healthcare settings.
Patients are being killed by hospital acquired COVID.
It has a 10% fatality rate - and most healthcare facilities are refusing to even TRY to minimize it.
No one should have to choose between care and Covid. While I will never agree it should be the patient’s responsibility to mitigate their own covid risk - until our institutions step up and do the right thing - here’s my guide to avoiding covid in hospital:

It’s POTS Awareness Day. I forgot because (ironically) I’m dealing with monster coat hanger pain… something common in POTS.
It’s a terrible headache that encompasses your neck and upper back - it basically forms the shape of a coat hanger!
It took me years to realize the coat hanger pain was from my POTS. Years of suffering through debilitating headaches and back pain that painkillers couldn’t touch.
I tried massage, heat, ice, stretches, laying in a dark room…
Nothing worked.You know what DID work? IV saline. When I get IV fluids I can feel the pain start to melt away. Relief tends to start at the top of my head and slowly moves down to my shoulders and back - the pain is generally gone after 1-2L.
It’s incredible just how much your body can be impacted by POTS. I’ve been dealing with this condition for years and I’m still learning new things every day.
It’s also a common comorbid with Long Covid. If you’re new to POTS, think you might have POTS or just want to learn more - I wrote an intro guide linked below:

U[pdate for 2/23/2024!
Good Morning SARS2PAians! ❄️❄️❄️
There's no new CDC stuff for today.
VOCs
JN.1 and its cousins/offspring continues to smash the leaderboard globally and in the US: https://ibb.co/xSW90JK
And here in PA: https://ibb.co/FX4VJgb
Lineage News
JN.1.11 has totally fizzled out (that's the difference between how it looks in a lab compared to actual infectivity) but there is a new variant that is being VERY closely scoured for by geneticists: JN.1.23 (that's JN One Dot Twenty-Three.)
This variant has an absolutely astounding ACE2Binding ability (which means it's easier to "stick" to lungs) + very good escape rate (which means it looks different than anything else before it and the body isn't sure how to react to it).: https://ibb.co/B45zX5B
It is definitely way beyond "uh-oh" at this point.: https://ibb.co/9T5pv5z
It has already been found on 3 continents (South America/Brazil, North America/California, and Asia/India) and also in Canada/Alberta. it's now being tracked on Rajnarayanan's Tableau chart for the US.: https://ibb.co/xMwRyyC
This also has so much binding ability, it has the most potential to even "spend" some of its infectivity on other mutations that will benefit its children, sacrificing it for more severity or more innate infectivity....which would be very bad.
The good news is that this variant has only 2 differences between it and what we're already dealing with. Despite the very good ACE2 binding, XBB.1.5 vaccines and prior infections with JN.1 should hold against it at least a little while.: https://ibb.co/42D30fZ
(Note: don't get infected to prevent infection. That's silly. There's NO sure way to know if you were infected with JN.1 unless you get your case sequenced. Get vaccinated and use source control. That's smart and NOT silly.)
__________
WastewaterWastewater SARS2 material is rising in the US again. Not a good sign.: https://ibb.co/DGx889k
Regionally, all regions except the West are starting to tick upwards again.: https://ibb.co/dtKpRsK
In PA, the 5 stations that report to Biobot are showing very volatile elves, but Chester, Lackawanna, Luzerne, and MontCo are handling it. :canparrot: GOOD GOING. Source control keeps those numbers down!!!: https://ibb.co/JxZX7YC
BucksCo is on an uptick, now above national averages. Please be cautious and keep working at it for Spring!!! 💐
The PA DoH Wastewater dashboard reflects these rising levels, with levels especially rising in Monroe County. PLEASE USE SOURCE CONTROL. Wear a quality respirator, clean the air with MERV-13 or HEPA filters, and STAY HOME if you are sick!: https://ibb.co/DwtcNgd
__________
Year-Over-YearWant to remind everyone that this year has the highest national wastewater numbers of all COVID years at this time.: https://ibb.co/WP98zxT
(I changed the color of the 2024 year because the original color used to represent it was...pretty unseeable.)
MORE people are getting infected/reinfected more quickly, and you can see the general trend is for the absolute baseline rising throughout the year.
This is in addition to, on WastewaterSCAN, high levels of other respiratory pathogens like RSV, FluA and FluB and the gastro-disturbing (and just gross) Norovirus.: https://ibb.co/ggyxfBt
Wash hands to prevent especially non SARS pathogens.
🌊👍🌊Wash fruits and veg too before you eat them!
🌊🍎🥒🌊Guys, this is us on our way to a high tide that will never drop IF we don't use source control.
But if we do, we can prevent life, learning, and financial loss going into spring and have a LOVELY and healthy new season soon! 💐

Good Morning SARS2PAians!!
Thankfully, there is not a whole lot new going on with COVID. There are still no upcoming variants that will overtake JN.1.x.y yet.
No new CDC maps.
The most important thing is some non-SARS2 wastewater stuff.
For SARS2/COVID, national wastewater is starting to level out after a (worrying for me) uptick at the beginning of the month.: https://ibb.co/8dt7jGg
Regionally, the Northeast still has by far the highest concentration but is clearly levelling off from a small uptick. Other regions are ever so slightly rising but are mostly steady.: https://ibb.co/DKqYBzm
In PA, some increases in Bucks which is making the levels go above national average. PLEASE use source control to keep this from getting worse.: https://ibb.co/M7mnNJ5
Also in ChesterCo, all systems I'm watching clearly shows a strong increase there. PLEASE practice SOURCE CONTROL.
You can see on the most recent PA Wastewater Dashboard that levels are increasing in major areas in PA (Pittsburgh, Chester, Monroe Cos.).: https://ibb.co/9tkbxnJ
__________
Non-COVID PathogensWastewaterSCAN currently shows the levels for ALL respiratory pathogens (SARS2, RSV, FluA, FluB) as HIGH in our region and also for Norovorus (the "24-hour stomach bug") as HIGH.: https://ibb.co/1nPBsBp
Looks like University Park's levels of RSV are almost going vertical.: https://ibb.co/jZCxwvR
ChesterCo is having strong increases of Influenza B.: https://ibb.co/TBMVhMD
Norovirus in ChesterCo is already crazy high AND on a VERY strong increase. (What's going on over there and in UPark?? College kiddos? Please tell your college kiddos to practice source control!): https://ibb.co/fFkbFMS
You can see there that the left vertical axis the numbers for Noro are bonkers (RSV range is from 0 to 280, Noro goes from 10,000 to 110,000 😳)
Read about Norovirus from the Cleveland Clinic: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17703-norovirus
Norovirus is primarily a SANITARY but also CLOSE CONTACT issue.
WASH YOUR HANDS.
Do not eat off unclean dinnerware. Avoid oysters and other seafood during high outbreaks.
Wash off fruits and veggies before you eat them.
Do NOT prepare food if you are sick.
STAY HOME. The CDC is wrong.: https://mstdn.social/@erictopol/111924800740495932
STAY HOME.
Wear a quality respirator in large crowds!
If we can keep this stuff under control through the rest of the winter, first of all it will be a MUCH more pleasant Spring. Secondly, if a new COVID variant appears and is fast enough to go worldwide, we won't be worrying about five other pathogens.
I hope we can work together to make a FANTASTIC and healthy Spring!! 💐

"HEPA filtration is beneficial in reducing bioaerosols, including SARS-CoV-2, as well as other respiratory pathogens in the hospital environment. It should be used in combination with other prevention strategies, including improved ventilation; appropriate isolation; and, during periods of high community transmission, widespread testing and N95 masking...
In BC, public health policies such as universal masking and universal admission testing are no longer in effect. We know from other jurisdictions that discontinuation of universal admission testing was associated with a significant increase in hospital SARS-CoV-2 transmission and that nosocomial transmission remains common in the Omicron era, with infections that carry a 3% to 13% mortality risk. Updated, evidence-based, and precautionary provincial guidance is urgently needed to improve indoor air quality..."

I requested respirator test data from NIOSH through the Freedom of Information Act. NIOSH censored it.
NIOSH wants you to think all approved respirators are the same. They are not. Breathability and filtration levels vary significantly, especially N95s.

The past week, #NYC #MTA buses have been consistently packed with maskless people, including many small children with wet coughs. Truly an unfortunate time to have no other options besides public transit 😖
