Pour celles et ceux qui n'ont pas encore vu cet excellent petit film d'animation en 3D sur un futur pas si lointain mais dystopique. Il spécule sur les conséquences potentielles de la fameuse Grande Réinitialisation, de la tyrannie médicale, de la culture « woke » et de l'agenda vert.

BEYOND THE RESET

The horrific truth about why the powerful are ignoring #COVID is that capitalism incentivizes abandoning the vulnerable.
@paulkrugman<br&gt;Yep: Covid killed off a bunch of the more expensive Medicare recipients, improving the program's finances for the next few years. You might call this an act of God — except that America suffered far more deaths than other advanced countries

Taka sytuacja:
💉 #szczepienia #covid 💉 nową szczepionką Nuvaxovid , której podobno nigdzie nie ma.
Wejście na pacjent.gov.pl, typ szczepionki, kod pocztowy miejsca zamieszkana, max promień wyszukiwania: 50km. No faktycznie nic.
Ale... ⚠️ ...
Kod pocztowy miasta 30km ode mnie, promień wyszukiwania: 50 km.

I read a dad's post today about how hard it was for his kids to remain masked at school when everyone else is unmasked. It takes such courage. I made this for all the kids still masking. I applaud you and thank you. **Please feel free to print it out and give it to your little heroes.**

A question for some folks for a crowdsource thing.

What excuses do you get from #conferences, when you ask about a #masking or public health policy due to #Covid?

I need some answers for..... Reasons.

With the new #COVID vaccine approved, a reminder that we’re all indebted to the ancient & wondrous horseshoe crab.

Their blue blood contains Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) which clumps at contact with bacterial toxins. They are caught for their blood to test sterility of medical equipment & injections.

Unfortunately the harvest is unsustainable & populations are in decline. An effective synthetic substitute has been around for 2 decades & we just need the biomedical industry to switch.

Dear governments,

The “clinical risk group” for the Covid booster is anyone at risk of long Covid.

So, yes, that’s everyone.

Meanwhile, in #Japan, the current #Covid wave is as bad as the Delta variant wave (the only official data left is the number of hospital admissions) and more and more people act as if it was over.

#CovidIsNotOver

A graph of hospital admissions in Japan due to Covid shows that the current numbers are slightly higher than the delta wave in 2021, making it the third-highest wave since the beginning of the pandemic.


Do you know what to do to protect yourself if someone in your household gets #covid ?

Plan now. There's a surge going on & if you're ready, you won't have to think too much. What I would do/have done:

1. #N95 on all in shared spaces
2. 15+ min w/window open between shared space usage
3. Air cleaners/ #CorsiRosenthal boxes
4. Stay/eat in bedroom
5. Towel rolled at bottom of door
6. Window cracked
7. Attached bathroom exhaust fan on
8. Mouthwash w/CPC
9. Return air closed

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?

“We don’t stop hand washing because norovirus cases are down. We don’t stop wearing gloves because HIV cases are down. As a doctor, if you’re arguing that you should be able to expose patients to COVID because infection control annoys you, you should not be a doctor. Find a new career. I bet you’d love denying insurance claims. I bet you’d be a natural.”

This article is a banger.

I can't think of another civilization that had exact knowledge about the causes of and solution to its existential problems and refused to fix them.

Global warming? We have solar, wind, and battery technology that could replace everything. We just refuse to because of vested societal interests. Covid and its long-term threats? We could end it with masking and a determined effort to change interior ventilation in public spaces. We don't because of, again, vested interests of the wealthy. It's tempting to refer to this as capitalism but the same is true of every major society on Earth, no matter what its ideology is.

No past society has this excuse. When they were destroyed by plague or natural disaster, they really didn't know how to solve the problem. We do.

Just found the English version of a prize winner #Hungarian #educational video from 2020 about the economical background of the #COVID. Well done.

3.5 years of constant caution and sacrifice, withholding dinners at restaurants & concerts, and I let one professional event encourage me to take needless risks. I spoke in a room with 80 people without a mask. I asked the event planner to have air filters in the room, but she said "their effectiveness for Covid prevention is limited," which is, of course, BS, and that should've been when I withdrew from the event. I let my guard down, and now I have my first #COVID infection. Be safe out there!
My positive COVID test


“Reported deaths from #covid (have) fallen by 95 percent since the beginning of this year... but an estimated one in ten infections now lead to what is commonly known as #LongCovid, “which suggests that hundreds of millions of people will need long-term care.”

- WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus

People have convinced themselves that all COVID risks are passed, but only some have. More need to realize the long-term risks of repeated infections.

Elites at the World Economic Forum are doing everything they can to protect themselves from #COVID, because the ruling class know the pandemic is not over.

Meanwhile, they are pushing the rest of us back into unsafe workplaces to protect their profits. This is class warfare.

New research looks at the effects of repeated Covid infections and finds pretty much what you would expect: you not only do not get any kind of superimmunity, you increase your risk of long-term consequences, hospitalization and death. The worse news is that this holds true regardless of vaccination status.

This is not over. Please take care. Mask up.

🚨 Our local #Portland hospitals have switched to "crisis standards of care", the disaster-level triage mode where they decide who to treat based upon their overall likely outcome.

😷 The pandemic is anything but over. Please act accordingly.

Just a shocking number of people don’t even know the 2022 bivalent boosters •exist•.

Folks, there are newly formulated vaccines as of this fall.

If you got your last before Sep / very late Aug, you should get a new booster.

It’s available for kids 5 and up.

It’s free.

It will protect you ••much•• better against the newest variants, which are hospitalizing people en masse.

Tell your less-online-than-you family, friends, neighbors. Publicity has been terrible.

One thing #covid and #climate have in common is that many people focus weight the cost of acting highly and neglect the cost of not acting.

But not counting the cost is not the same as there not being a cost.

#SystemsThinking


Je me pose une question à laquelle personne ne répond : les cinémas les théâtres, les bars , les restaurants etc ... sont fermés depuis des mois , mécaniquement ce n'est donc pas par eux que ce transmets le #Covid qui augmente... Alors pourquoi sont-ils fermés?


Ugh.. the plague has returned.

I started feeling a bit ill Wednesday night, but tested clear on the night and on Thursday morning.

I went to work Thursday, and did 3 more tests last night.

1 was +ve and 2 -ve last night.
Today I did another 2 tests and it's double lines all round.

How annoying. And I feel be troubled that I will have exposed other people.

Whenever I'll be asked where I come from, it will be easy to tell. "#Austria, not #Australia - The country where #covid incidence is one of the highest, not one of the lowest." - No more need to make use of #Mozart, cattle or #kangaroos.

In #Budapest there are more than 30000 hand-picked small pebbles laying at the Margit-island. All those pebbles contain a number and an age, some a first name or nickname, some just "mom". Every pebble is for one person who died in #COVID in #Hungary. People started to put pebbles there last year, and soon thousands and thousands of new pebbles appeared, one by one, bordering the running strip around the little island.

In august 2021 the pebbles were so many that they were in danger from the large masses of people of the popular island, so the government of Budapest city and the people originally organised the memorial and their countless helpers have moved all the stones, a handful a time, into an inner park of the island, into a multiple spiralling line.

If you happen to be around, nice to know what these pebbles are. Lots and lots of stones.

If you're wondering how #France is doing, the French government presented falsified #COVID numbers on national television by... resizing a graph curve in PowerPoint.

Ah, c'est bon, je pense être parvenu à reproduire la courbe falsifiée présentée hier par Castex. Ces imbéciles ont enlevé ~30% partout ET l'ont décalée de 6 jours vers la gauche.

Couldn't a country's solution to the #COVID pandemic be to cease most activity, work, school, travel, everything for about 14 days, salaries paid up to a certain ceiling, and them from then on, closely monitor travelers? We've known about the contagious period length for a while.
