  1. #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!

  6. This weekend is #TransPrideMcr! Unfortunately most of the information is on Instagram or Discord, so I'm repeating it here (and adding alt text). :boosts_ok_gay:

    First up, the plan for Saturday 1st August - the march, talks and workshops, and club night.

    You can get your tickets for all of the talks & workshops at the following link: eventbrite.com/cc/tpm-2026-485

    Tickets are free with the option to donate to help support TPM. Ticket holders will be prioritised but everyone will be welcome if they have spaces left on Saturday!

    There's also an accessibility document, which discusses masking because #CovidIsNotOver and protection from both freelance fascists and the police.

  7. Always interesting cleaning up the bathroom storage and running into old cold meds and cold and cough remedies. Stuff that has sat unused in the cabinets for 6+ years because we're COVID cautious and as a result, we haven't gotten colds, coughs, or flu. I'm not saying it will escape us forever. Free will ensures that some asshole who is knowingly sick will be out and about, and whatever they are carrying will sneak past the defenses. Because that's how it goes.

    But in the meantime.... 6+ years...

  8. 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.”

  9. Long COVID Linked to Brain Changes, Cognitive Decline

    New imaging research suggests that changes in the brain after COVID may contribute to cognitive decline similar to early stages of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and may be predictive of dementia risk, based on data from more than 200 individuals.

  10. 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.

  11. Fairly well vetted article in the Boston Globe about Covid-19 SuperDodgers.

    The Boston Globe asked readers who believe they’ve never caught the coronavirus to share their experiences. They published a small variety of responses but covered the spectrum. As someone who is more careful than most, it was an interesting read.

    Almost as surprising, though there are the usual minimizers and deniers in the comments, there's actually a lot of pushback (I know, never look at the comments):

  12. I don't often share photos of myself, but here's one from my Mask Decoration Booth at a recent masked concert.
    Shout out to Purity Ring (the singer MJ who's front-and-center, specifically) for always encouraging masking and clean air precautions.

    Also pictured is a close-up of the mannequin head display I set up to show folks some inspiration for how respirators could be decorated.

  13. RE: flipboard.com/@npr/health-930k

    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.

  14. 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 them

    Defined 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.

  15. As professionals who have had to reason and analyze antivax behavior, the comment that always stayed with me is that "People will remain willfully ignorant until it affects them directly".

    As Measles Takes Toll on Kids, Anti-Vaxxers Have Change of Heart

    For 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.

    I wish I could say I believe it is a turning point, but our recent history suggests that ignorance will keep outpacing facts unless laws are made and enforced to protect everyone.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.”

  18. @DenisCOVIDinfoguy I see it in every hospital in Victoria, BC & yet majority of staff aren't masked. I'm one of very few people in health care services, who have to see clients in all 3 of the hospitals here, who never stopped masking up. Cleaner air systems haven't been installed to increase public health safety in hospitals either. Our health care system will collapse - physically & financially - if provincial & federal governments keep ignoring covid & the many dire, costly, medical consequences it brings.

  19. 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.

  20. 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:

  21. Good informative Covid video based on research. Worth the 15 minute watch (and following the link externally to Youtube)
    Covid never "ended", repeat infections increases likelyhood of Long Covid and cellular damage.

  22. I've been passing this article that came out in January:
    bostonglobe.com/2026/01/12/nat

    I 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.

  23. 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.

  24. Risk of new-onset obstructive sleep apnea up to 4.5 years after COVID-19 in the urban population

    After OSA onset, hospitalized COVID+ patients had higher risks of heart failure and pulmonary hypertension, while non-hospitalized COVID+ patients had higher risk of obesity vs COVID− patients.

  25. I highly recommend subscribing to Force of Infection, where epidemiologists tell us what's actually happening with infectious diseases in the U.S. This is the National edition:

    ILIis decreasing
    RSV has peaked
    Covid-19 activity is low

  26. 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.

  27. The Boston Sunday Globe did a good article covering Long Covid but for some reason, it's the only article in the entire paper I can't share. So for the first time, I took screenshots and am sharing them here.

  28. Compliments from unmasked folks, praising me for being cautious & taking excellent care for my Mom aren't considered compliments to me. I consider them as passive aggressive guilt-ridden confessions from unmasked folks, who aren't taking good care of themselves nor anyone in their own family.

  29. #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.

  30. 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.
