Sat on a salt bin outside the old Steak N' Burger at St Laurent mall eating my pasta salad lunch because this is the kind of thing you do if you're intent on trying to avoid covid. No eating indoors in public. #CovidIsNotOver
@speybridge In Kombination der 6. Ü60 Impfung gegen Covid mit der Ü60 Impfung gegen Grippe am 16.10.23 war ich dann eine Woche irgendwie müde, um mich dann am 15.-18.11. mit Covid zu infizieren. Eine Geburtstagsfeier musste ausfallen. Gestern war ich immer noch positiv. Schatzi hatte es letztes Jahr ganz schlimm. Bei mir war es wie eine lästige Erkältung gegen die drei Tage lang 3x 400mg Ibuprofen halfen. Ansonsten wünsche ich Allen gute Besserung. #Coronavirus #COVID19 #CovidIsNotOver

@bicmay I wish to hell when they report on this, they would say that the pandemic is over, but immediately include the fact that it has morphed into an endemic. I can’t tell you the number of idiots who tell me Covid is over you don’t need to wear a mask. I also wear a shield with my mask in crowded enclosed places if I can’t avoid them. COVID is a numbers game. Your eyes have a permeable membrane. #CovidIsNotOver #Endemic #Covid #WearAMask
@dan613 @Chron this is something to think about when we #CovidIsNotOver #cleanair say things like "We need to believe in clean air for everyone, just like we have clean water for everyone": Our rulers have never believed in the right to clean air, or water. They've always viewed both as an earned privilege of the wealthy.

This is what #antimasking folks think like with kids in schools. Zero mentions on impacts of getting #covid, #longCovid nor how kids who become disabled from it - suffer a lot more than some lower grades & not being able to hang out with a bunch of friends as much as pre-covid.
Kids deserve better than being sacrificed to covid by ignorant adults.

I was chatting with another nurse a while later, and she mentioned that they currently have more patients with respiratory infects than "during the pandemic".
Guess why that is. 🤦♂️ 2/2
As I was visiting someone in the ICU of an hospital, I got asked by the nurse if I had a respiratory infection because I was wearing an FFP2 mask. Standard answer of course: no, I'm wearing a mask because I do not want to bring something in and not want to take anything out.
Turns out nobody, personnel nor visitors, is wearing a mask.
So far, so bad. 1/2
Three years covid-free has ended for me. I traveled, fully masked, on planes to visit a sick family member. I’m hoping to hell I didn’t expose my sick family member, who has no immune system due to palliative chemo (my doc says unlikely, but I’m still nervous, as you might imagine). Now I’m wondering if I’ll ever get to see them alive again. #CovidIsNotOver

War gestern (notgedrungen) wieder im Drogeriemarkt einkaufen. Obwohl Vormittag, schon proppenvoll wie sonst vor Weihn. Außer mir trug wieder niemensch Maske, es schnieft aus allen Ecken. Zur Erinnerung: Beim letzten Mal hab ich mir auf die Weise ne fiese Rüsselseuche eingefangen, die 4 Wo anhielt, und ich bin fast sicher, dass es trotz negativ-Test wieder Covid war. Seither sind jedenfalls die LC-Sympt, die nach der Kortikosteroid-Kur etwas besser waren, wieder voll aufgeflammt.

Just knowing that #CovidIsNotOver and millions of people have been visiting family and traveling is enough for me to be more cautious this week.
I don't trust leading indicators as much as hospitalizations, but they can indicate that a new wave may be starting.
NYC #covid19 case counts and wastewater samples indicate a recent rise in observations of the virus, so I scheduled a booster for my mom and will get mine soon.

The NYC #Covid19 data is out after a two-week gap. The good news is that hospitalizations are low - lower than they've been since July!
But #CovidIsNotOver and millions people have been traveling all over the world the past few weeks, going to conferences and visiting relatives, and spending time in airplanes, trains, restaurants and terminals on the way.
I'm expecting a winter wave to start soon, but hospitalizations are a trailing indicator. I'll look at leading indicators in the next post!
A new book is coming out:
The Big One: How to Prepare for World-Altering Pandemics to Come
by Michael Osterholm and Mark Olshaker.
It comes out in February, I believe.
Osterholm has been right about nearly everything with regard to this pandemic. And the more people who understand, the better our chances of being more prepared than we were the last time.
Let's be the leaders on this.

🇺🇸 US: COVID cases in the US have risen 50% in 4 weeks.
Dr. Michael Hoerger of Tulane University, who has been modeling the spread of COVID-19 using the Biobot data, noted on Monday that levels of wastewater now correlate with approximately 886,000 daily infections, or an average of more than 6 million infections in just one week.
In Dr. Hoerger’s forecast, the figure for daily infections could reach 1.5 million during the Christmas break, when the next massive wave of travelers will take to the air or roads. He warns that in classrooms, lecture halls, restaurants, and other crowded indoor spaces, the chance of encountering someone actively infected with COVID-19 is essentially a flip of the coin.
With masking practically nonexistent and COVID vaccination rates abysmal, combined with the impacts of influenza, RSV, and other viral and bacterial pathogens, the impact on health systems could soon become catastrophic.

Some 345 (+59) counties have pediatric care near or over capacity (≥ 90%).
Of 267 (-2) counties reporting any PICU capacity, near three in ten are near or over full.
So many places where there ain't enough staff for sick or injured kids to receive required care.

The post New CDC life expectancy data shows painfully slow rebound from covid appeared...the rebound in 2022, which the CDC had anticipated after studying death rates, regained less than half the years lost to the pandemic, the federal health agency reported.
And yet another day where people think it’s perfectly fine to get on a packed train coughing like there’s no tomorrow and NOT wearing an effing mask! How hard can it be to have a little respect for other people’s health? I am so tired of this. Moved seats…

CDC has finally put together a usable dashboard for COVID wastewater monitoring in the USA. This is the *best metric* we have for early community monitoring, after the Biden administration prematurely ended the emergency and Congress slashed COVID test funding.
Winter COVID surge is already among us, and the data reflects that. N95-class masks protect the wearer. Mask up and protect yourself, your family, and your community. #COVIDIsNotOver
Pediatric staffing never recovered to pre-omicron levels. Rather, over one in six pediatric beds reported May of 2022: now missing.
PICU Capacity Level (not shown): 74%.
Weekly average ~100 PICU beds were covid patients.
We're failing our kids. The emergency is over.

Capacity Level has been elevated since independence from the virus was declared three summers ago—as fewer & fewer professionals have been available to staff hospital beds.
Critical Staffing Level, already at 2021 levels, has been further elevated for near a year—with over one in nine reporting hospitals at critical shortage.

• Mask wearers are sick.
• Mask wearers are caregivers of high risk people.
• Mask wearers know that #CovidVax is not enough to stop transmission.
• Mask wearers are healthy and want to STAY that way.

Bubbles largest and most prominent for: HV.1 (red) for New York (84), New Jersey (37), Arizona (32), Illinois (23), Iowa (23), California (23), Minnesota (22), Virginia (17), Utah (14), Washington (14), Nebraska (13), Maryland, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Texas and Delaware; HK.3 (red) for New York (30), New Jersey (13), Washington, California, Minnesota, Utah and Iowa; EG.5.1.1 (red) for New York (13), New Jersey, Arizona; EG.5.1.3 (red) for New York.
Dozens of additional smaller bubbles for various variants and states.

Well the after-Thanksgiving covid bump is really here.
My 89 y/o father got covid...likely from my sister's boyfriend...who got it from my sister.
One of my son's profs has cancelled classes for the week. He has it.
The numbers in my zip code are not reported today. But last week they were up to more than half of omicron peak.
I don't know about hospitalizations because who even reports that any more by state.
NCHS estimates of #LongCovid—based on Household Pulse Survey—provide for volatile projections.
Census Bureau latest updated early Nov—still no word on next release date.
As more and more folk experience Long Covid, fewer & fewer have been staffing our hospitals.

Household Pulse Survey (HPS) is an Internet questionnaire…by…Census Bureau…includes questions regarding “any symptoms lasting 3 months or longer that you did not have prior to having coronavirus or COVID-19.” [Note] that the list of long-term symptoms, provided for this question, may not reflect all sequelae of covid infection, e.g., systemic organ damage or increased susceptibility to subsequent infections and other adverse health outcomes.
NCHS uses HPS responses to estimate incidence of [LC] in adult population. For purposes of this chart, we assume that U.S. under 18 population (22% of total) meet criteria for [LC] at half the rate of adults.](https://cdn.masto.host/frontendsocial/cache/media_attachments/files/111/492/005/661/299/394/small/9221f7390f828e9c.png)
Emailed a person last week and got an automated OOO message saying they were on holiday and wouldn't be back till today. No problem.
Today I got a reply to my email, so I sent a response back to them. And got this automated message: "Hello, I am out sick this week."
Well. No guessing required to know what happened there. Mask up, folks. 🙁#CovidIsNotOver #COVIDisAirborne
Is it easy to hold conferences that have a low risk of sharing Covid-19? I think so.

Listening to the old dudes on the Alaska Morning Net talk about their mysterious "flu" and suggesting they should get a refund on their flu shot and ... I just can't. It's COVID, guys.
And their friend who's in the hospital for a low O2 saturation and they have no idea what's wrong with him... it's COVID, guys.

1 other person masked in women's health clinic. One of the staff. No one else except her & me & my Mom have masks on. Ugh.

@yaneerbaryam @whn Thanks for sharing article:
"Reinfection has been shown to increase the cumulative risk of death, hospitalization, and sequelae in multiple organ systems in both the acute and postacute phase. This shows the immune system is not protective enough to limit damage by further COVID-19 infections or other infections, even after vaccination. This is a serious issue if we are continually reinfected before the immune system recovers each time."
COVID-19 was the third leading cause of death in Canada in 2022, according to data released by Statistics Canada today.
“The number of COVID-19 deaths increased from 14,466 in 2021 to 19,716 in 2022, the highest number of such deaths recorded since the beginning of the pandemic.”
For the third year in a row, life expectancy dropped.

Well over 100 scientific articles describe immune system damage caused by COVID. This provides a direct causal scientific explanation of unprecedented outbreaks of many other diseases.
The "normalization" narrative is casting around for speculative explanations. Ignore them.
