@schwarmerei1 @AlanBixter @1goodtern I had to create my own mask clips to use with my favorite kn95. Thankful for 3D printed objects!

[Zygi Morel @ICUgaslite]

@1goodtern Yeah , like what if the family dog was napping near the hot tub…

@TogetherWeMask @michael_hoerger @WastewaterSCAN @MOMsOrganicMrkt @Ginny_Bixby @BaltimoreBanner @LCawarenessInt @MsJulieSLam @LongCFoundation @WeMaskColorado @DrJudyStone @AwanRad @MaskBlocLA @CleanAirLA @pubhealthaction @MOMsOrganicMrkt says one of its core values is:
"Compassion is the antidote to judgment."
Banning employees from wearing masks—whether for disability, health vulnerability, protecting family, or simply personal choice-seems remarkably inconsistent with that value

[Zygi Morel @ICUgaslite]

@michael_hoerger if you contradict a major public health authority, that is “misinformation”

[Zygi Morel @ICUgaslite]

@michael_hoerger Linked in blocks health misinformation that directly contradicts major public-health authorities. So there you go.

[Zygi Morel @ICUgaslite]

@Biff234523 @MASKattheOpera @singingsox Fair point—but it cuts both ways. These studies can’t tell us if Xocova prevents vascular injury or persistence, but they also can’t justify that it does “not much” for LC prevention. They show fewer persistent symptoms. So: promising, incomplete evidence- not proof either way.

[Zygi Morel @ICUgaslite]

@Biff234523 @MASKattheOpera @singingsox That still isn’t definitive proof, but “not much in terms of Long COVID prevention” goes too far. “Promising evidence, not yet proven” is a more accurate description.

[Zygi Morel @ICUgaslite]

@yvopitt @dysclinic Thats right, what percent of your patients have had LC symptoms for:
6+ years
5 years
4 years
3 years
2 years
1 year

[Zygi Morel @ICUgaslite]

@michael_hoerger Thanks! Here’s a quick mock-up. The color still shows prevalence, but a subtle dot pattern would distinguish model-estimated counties from those with actual wastewater sampling. I think it adds clarity without clutter.

[Zygi Morel @ICUgaslite]

@michael_hoerger I’m trying to understand the northern Michigan hotspot. For estimated counties like Crawford, how do you account for the fact that much of the area is on septic and not contributing to the wastewater? Could a small sewershed end up representing a much larger rural population?

[Zygi Morel @ICUgaslite]

@Gregg3gs_tech @drseanmullen Perhaps this lite?

[Zygi Morel @ICUgaslite]

@michael_hoerger This is Traverse City on Wastewater Scan. Can you explain why this is so different from CDC info?

[Zygi Morel @ICUgaslite]

@michael_hoerger @drgurner Think I’ll stick with my Tex-Air filters.

[Zygi Morel @ICUgaslite]

@Biff234523 Impressive it all fits in there. The yellow lozenges - iota carrageenan for the throat? Ive seen for the nose but did not know about these. Any studies other than the nurses Iota carrageenan nasal study?

@markwarling3 @jlerollblues Well … they are sitting about 2 dozen Perrier bottles away from each other. Certainly an airborne virus causing fever and vomiting can’t travel that far.

@EricTopol @prenuvo Prenuvo’s model of giving customers discounts and credits for recruiting friends to buy expensive elective scans feels more like influencer-driven wellness marketing than traditional medicine.
