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

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.

It has been approved by the FDA to treat adolescents and adults:

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.”

@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.

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.

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.

#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.

I, alone, can't stop social murders by our government. I can try to stop government from killing & disabling more people. I can get what is necessary to speak out about, documented on public records & try to push for more just policies. I can speak as a citizen & as a health care worker.

#Pediatric unit closing, #physicians say they are overwhelmed by demand.
A memo from the #pediatricians to their non-ER physician colleagues said that the Urgent Pediatric Assessment Clinic will close on Sept. 1.
The memo advises that patients requiring urgent pediatric consultation — within 24 hours — should be sent to Victoria General’s emergency department, where they can be assessed by an ER doctor with a subsequent on-call pediatric referral as needed.
For patients needing semi-urgent pediatric consultation — within four weeks — the pediatrician on call at Victoria General can assist with the referral and triaging.

@MegaMichelle They won't do that. They won't even buy N95s so PAPR won't ever be considered. I'm tolerated but feel ostracized at work because I'm still protecting with masks, still keep asking for proactive masking - despite being shut down on that multiple times. I'm in a very tiny minority of covid cautious folks at work & in larger local community.

The first in office appointment with my new family doctor has just been booked for this Friday morning. I have the first appointment of the day & the doctor has assured me that he & staff will be masked up, as I've requested 😷⚕️
I tend to ask for first slot of the morning when booking medical appointments - to avoid running into a bunch of unmasked patients in waiting rooms.I'll be asking if he will consider taking on my youngest brother as a new patient too because that bro still doesn't have a family doctor. He's been on the government waitlist for 2+ years.
I'm off to get mammogram now & then working on updating client files all afternoon. Remote(safer) work today 👍

A study came out recently that showed a single COVID infection increases your risk of serious cardiovascular events for 3 years post infection.
That’s terrifying - but there’s a bigger discussion being missed.
That finding means a Covid infection makes you a “vulnerable”.
First off - the study didn't show that after three years your risk returns to pre-COVID levels. It's three years because that's all the data we have.
For all we know your risk never goes back to where it was before.
The increased risk factor was after ONE infection. Now I don't know about everyone else - but I don't know many people who are stopping at one infection.
Most have had it at LEAST three times - and because we aren't mitigating it at all - are getting it annually (or more frequently than that).
In time I'm sure we will see studies that make it clear how much risk reinfections pose - but if we know ONE infection raises your risk for three years - it's safe to assume multiple infections aren't doing your heart any favours.
There's also the fact that the increased risk applies even for those who had "mild" acute infections - once again proving that there really is no such thing as "mild COVID."
You may be asymptomatic. You may recover quickly. It’s still damaging your body in a myriad of ways.
"Only the vulnerable" need to worry.
Wrong again. The study showed that increased cardiovascular risk impacted everyone who had Covid - not JUST the vulnerable.
There's also decent odds you're now IN the vulnerable category because you had Covid.
Don't understand what I mean? Think it's fear mongering?
What makes someone vulnerable? Preexisting conditions, old age, compromised immune systems.
When a study finds an increased risk of severe cardiac issues - that means you have a comorbid condition!That "increased risk" is because you now have cardiovascular issues. High blood pressure, narrowed arteries, increased clotting etc.
Congratulations - you're now one of the “vulnerable" for at least the next three years!
We've also seen a number of studies showing that COVID impairs the immune system. We even know it prematurely AGES you.
So you "feel" fine. You think you had a “mild" case. But the reality is you're immune compromised AND have cardiovascular disease.
You may actually be more "vulnerable" than disabled people like me who you look down.
Why? Because I know l'm vulnerable so I do everything I can to avoid COVID infections.
I'm not repeatedly stressing my body with constant reinfections. 1/2 🧵#CovidIsAirborne #CovidCautious #CovidIsNotOver #CleanAir #WearaMask #Disability #LongCovid #Ableism #Denial #CleanAir #Pandemic #PublicHealth #InfectionControl #Eugenics #SafeHealthcare #N95 #Respirators #MasksWork #MaskUp #Spoonie #Discrimination #Dysautonomia #mecfs #pots #mcas #communitycare #wearamask #chronicillness #keepmasksinhealthcare #MaskBans #NoMaskBans #silentkiller

The first #COVID19 #data released by the #BritishColumbia for #Disease Control since the official end of the province's #PublicHealthEmergency shows #hospitalizations decreasing, but still near their highs for the year.
There were 175 test-positive #COVID patients in #BChospitals as of Thursday, according to the #BCCDC. That's down from 204 at the start of last month, but still the fourth-highest total of 2024, and more than double the 76 people #hospitalized at this time last year.
The BCCDC's most recent update showed 368 new, lab-confirmed #COVIDinfections in the province, though that number significantly #underestimates the spread of the #virus because most people in the province do not qualify for lab-based testing.

From @thetyee
Gregory said the database is a good idea for some diseases, in particular for some vaccines that do protect people from infection. But when it comes to COVID-19, he said, the vaccine doesn’t prevent transmission.
“Relying on vaccinations as the measure of whether people are likely or not to transmit [COVID] to vulnerable patients is a very dangerous strategy,” Gregory said.
Instead, he added, it would be best if everyone wore masks in public health settings whenever possible.
Mitigation measures such as properly worn N95s, HEPA air filtration, ventilation and avoiding high-risk areas like indoor crowded spaces are “all variant proof,” Gregory said. “No variant has evolved to circumvent an N95.”

Update for 5/6/2024!
Good Morning SARS2PAians!
Yes I have an update today aaaaand unfortunately that's kinda never a good thing. You DON'T want to hear from me here!
(I am asking you once again....to please make this hobby of mine obsolete 🙏😔 Filter the air, be aware of social contacts, wear a quality respirator, and wash hands for the gastro stuff.)
__________
VOCsWe are dealing with FLiRT now, but there are two groups of incoming variants that are becoming concerningly successful in other countires including right next door in Canada.: https://ibb.co/fkG3gpg
One is an earlier-new group consisting of JN.1.32 and KP.3.
Another, far off-new yet, is KW.1 and its child, KW.1.1.
All of these variants have been proven faster than FliRT in Australia, UK, etc. KP.3 is exceptionally fast.
🔴Due to antigenic drift, vaccines and previous infection are NOT as effective to protect you with these upcoming variants.
🔴This does NOT mean vaccines don't work, so do not go spreading that. (You should also be mightily shunned for spreading that.)
Again: Vaccines are safe and effective...but these incoming variants are starting to yet again DRIFT TOO FAR AWAY from the current XBB vaccines.
I've highlighted the upcoming concerning variants in teal, as opposed to the FLiRT group which is in pink. KW.1.1 isn't above the fold yet nationally at 0.16% so I made a note on the image so I remember to keep track of this number.
Nationally, JN.1.7 and JN.1 are a tthe top of the board. JN.1.32 at 2.23% and KP.3 also at 2.23%. KW.1 at a little under half a percent. These numbers might be higher in actual meatspace because there is not nearly enough labwork/sequencing available to make laser-focused predictions.: https://ibb.co/bRpvDP7
In PA, we do not have group 2 of the far-off variants yet here but we do have KP.2. Gotta watch this one.: https://ibb.co/3kPMBwM
In NY/NJ, whoa, KP.3 already clocking in at over 3%, in the top 10 of random sequencing already. I haven't been watching this one so when I have more time I'll go back and check this one out.: https://ibb.co/qM7C4CY
KP.2 already at over 10%. That's fast, and antigenic drift is absolutely not helping here as any protection we might have had against this new stuff is starting to slip away.
We might be in for a bump up in numbers this spring, as something similar last year happened too.
Just giving everyone a heads-up on what we might be in for this spring/summer.
We can keep it in control by practicing some very comon-sense, easy things!
Have a safe spring!! 💐💐💐

Is it too much to ask a friend to put on a blindfold if/when they come into the house so they don't see the state it's in? I mean as well as the mask, of course. They could take the blindfold off once they get to the part I've just cleaned, though not the mask. I'm not totally unreasonable.
It's probably the last day we'll be able to meet in the garden, with snow in the forecast. So we're grabbing the opportunity.

Terrific article from @georgemonbiot calling out the #ableism and sheer blindness inherent in the catastrophic decision to end #masking in hospitals. While the anti-mask brigade seem to have won, surely healthcare settings are one area where even most of them can see the validity of taking this most basic of precautions? With this govt, it appears not.
