If you paid for funeral expenses for someone who died in the US, and their death certificate mentions COVID as a cause, you may be eligible for up to US$9,000 in funeral expense assistance from the US federal government.

So, I'm just going to be sure I have this straight.
Back in 2019-2020, when #covid19 first burst onto the scene, nobody had any idea what we were dealing with. Out of an abundance of caution people were urged to stay at home, and keep away from other people.
In the almost-four years since then, we have learned exactly what we are dealing with - a disease never dealt with before on this level, that attacks and destroys multiple systems of the body, leaves many people disabled/bedridden, or with any of a huge number of chronic conditions.
It attacks the heart and brains of everyone infected (to varying degrees), and confers no long lasting immunity against future infections (which tend to get worse each time).
But with all that knowledge, we've now dropped any semblance of protection, and actively discourage masking, isolation and cleaning the air.
... Do I have this right?
UPDATE: WE GOT PAXLOVID! Your inputs worked. Thank you!!

#LongCovid #Covid19 friends, I need urgent help:
wife tested positive for covid. It's bad. Online Doc refused to prescribe #Paxlovid citing she's <50yrs. Said LongCovid isn't real and pretty much gaslit the thing.
PCP offices are closed.
CVS w/o prescription requires labwork that we don't have handy.
The blockers in the US #healthcare are systemic.
In GA, how might we get Paxlovid? Any ideas?
It's passed animal testing and will now be tested on humans. As yet unknown how long it keeps protecting humans against #COVID19 #vaccine

Game-Changer Nasal Spray: A Universal Shield Against All COVID-19 Variants
Researchers have developed a molecule that is, when administered nasally, extremely effective in preventing the disease caused by all known variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.Mike O'Neill (SciTechDaily)

Organ damage for 59% of patients with long COVID continues a year after initial symptoms
A new comprehensive study of organ impairment in long COVID patients over 12 months shows organ damage persisted in 59% of patients a year after initial symptoms, even in those not severely affected when first diagnosed with the virus.www.rsm.ac.uk

Do masks work?
On my way back from Turkey, and there’s nothing quite like international travel to help put things into perspective. There are much bigger problems in this world right now than the mask debate.Katelyn Jetelina (Your Local Epidemiologist)
I'm afraid of #COVID19 remaining a top five cause of death indefinitely.
I'm scared COVID will leave billions with lasting damage to their heart, brains, and immune systems.
I'm frightened that children infected three, four or nine times will have lifelong health issues.
I'm worried that a rapidly mutating virus could yet spin off a deadly new variant.
Why is it so hard to do something so simple to possibly save a life? #WearAMask

This means we should try to avoid spreading COVID & helping it evolve. And we should be more concerned for ourselves and others. #WearAMask
‘Kraken,’ the ‘most transmissible’ COVID variant yet, could spawn even more immune-evasive variants, new study says
The good news: XBB.1.5 is slightly less immune-evasive than its parent, researchers found. The bad news: Its descendants may not be.Erin Prater (Fortune)

This week, 4,600 US flights have been cancelled, and there are endless headlines.
Our priorities are showing, and they're not very caring or logical.

In vielen Ländern der Welt sterben seit Monaten mehr Menschen, als zu erwarten wäre. Die Ursachen sind bisher nicht geklärt. Eines aber ist sicher: Mit der Impfung hat die Übersterblichkeit nichts zu tun.Theres Lüthi (tlu) (NZZ Magazin)
