Covid cautious and wants all the mitigations for all. N95 respirators and clean air. Covid is damaging. Don't breathe it in. Layer your protections. Novavax

[Ateam Email @SaveusATeam]

Hey can everyone tell this NYC union @UFT that Covid is still here, still airborne, still damaging. They should be fighting for an increase in protections. Ask them about the rise in staff applying for disability/leaves/accommodations, retiring early, absences? #CovidIsntOver

[UFT @UFT]

In a sign that the pandemic has drawn to a close, the city Department of Education’s special COVID-19 leave policy has ended. Starting this September, absences related to COVID-19 will be charged to employees’ sick banks. Read more: https://t.co/bD8qX6rsCT

Macrophage Activation Syndrome

Usually seen in the immunocompromised

A CIDRAP study found that your Covid infections

are sending your immune cells (T cells/B cells)

into the crapper for "10 months after infection"

And you're sick constantly

Duh?🤣

@PenGwenWithLC Such good advice. This is the only interview I’ve ever done for this reason. In 2021, I began hearing about journalists betraying LongCovid patients & misrepresenting their plights. I’ve seen so many people get burned. https://t.co/Go2DF7HIZt

📢A new study is out from Emory University that compares the performance of all available SARS-CoV-2 / Influenza combo rapid test brands against JN.1-lineage SARS2 strains

The two main takeaways:

🧪Don’t waste your money on a more expensive brand or overthink your purchase. No single brand consistently performed better than all other tests - The lowest detected concentrations were achieved by different tests for each of the 4 viruses.

🧪It’s essential to wait until the END of the time window listed on the instructions to read the results. “We found that at low viral concentrations, many OTC tests were interpreted as negative at the start of the stated interpretation window but converted to a positive result by the end of the interpretation window.”

They looked at the 8 SARS-CoV-2 / Influenza combo rapid tests that were available in the U.S market as of fall 2025. Unfortunately, they didn’t include the Aptitude Metrix molecular combo test, or the newer 4-in-1 rapid tests that include RSV from Flowflex and iHealth, because they were not yet available at the time.

They tested the following 8 brands:
• ACON Flowflex
• iHealth
• OSANG BinaxNOW*, QuickFinder
• CorDx Tyfast
• Healgen Rapid Check*, InBios, statID, Equate, INDICAID, GenaCheck, Consult, RiteAid, ACCUBIO, healthconfirm, RapidResponse, RapidGo, Walgreens, CVS
• SEKISUI Osom
• Watmind SpeedySwab
• Wondfo WELLlife*, INDICAID, Hough, 2San

*Specific test used in this study

For the main portion of the study, to determine sensitivity, they examined the lowest concentration of virus at which each of the test brands would reliably (3 out of 3 tests) show a positive result. For H1N1, WELLlife and Osom performed the best. For H3N2, Healgen and SpeedySwab performed the best. For influenza B, Osom performed the best. And for SARS-CoV-2, Flowflex performed the best. As the authors point out, there isn’t really any sort of a clear pattern here, and the results are indicative of all tests having about equivalent capabilities.

Next, they examined whether the readability of the results changed from the start to the end of the timed viewing window listed in the test instructions. The answer was consistently “yes”. In the 2nd image, all of the solid bars were positives that were able to be read at the end of the window, but were missed at the beginning of the window. It was a major issue across all tests - but especially with SARS-CoV-2, and especially with some brands (eg. WELLife, Osom, BinaxNOW).

My new research is out

"Overview and Pathophysiology of Long Covid"

I provide an updated overview of key concepts, terminology and epidemiology of LC. I also offer an analysis of key mechanisms of pathology and multi-organ involvement in #LongCovid

@WIRED Long Covid is not "baffling" at all. There are thousands of publications which show multi-system pathology across all body systems, including extensive evidence of organ damage. The scientific and clinical evidence is undeniable and should be reported about accurately

[Lisa Oshima @lisawhelan]

Noting @WHO's mission is to "promote health, keep the world safe, & serve the vulnerable," & they advise us to, "Make wearing a mask a normal part of being around other people," at a minimum, you'd think @DrTedros would pop on a respirator while on a UN Aid plane to DRC.

Nope.

FYI my kid has Covid. A bunch of his friends are sick too. I’ve heard Covid numbers are low right now, but I wonder if that’s just because people aren’t testing/reporting. Given the possible long term impacts of the illness, I consider every positive test a loss & a concern.🙁

[Cat Herding Science Nerd 🔬 @catladyactivist]

Data published in npj Dementia shows older Covid survivors experience a 41% increased risk of all-cause dementia and a staggering 77% increased risk of vascular dementia compared to uninfected controls.

Leadership and health "care" have abandoned us to this.

We wouldn’t let our kids drink dirty water, so why do we let them breathe dirty air?

Cleaning outdoor air is a huge challenge that must be tackled - but sadly there are no quick fixes.

On the other hand, indoor air can be improved instantly simply by installing air filters.

This is why I don’t trust anybody!😭

A mom says her sister came over and got her kids sick and now she is supposed to get on a plane to go on vacation tomorrow and doesn’t know what to do.

And the entire world on FB just hits her up with comments like “it’s just a cough” while rocking onion socks, slamming honey like it’s tequila shots,
and screaming “GIRL YOU BETTER BE ON THAT PLANE!!!”

She got the RONA and just casually out there spreading… “Oh well.” 🤷‍♀️

[Laura Miers @LauraMiers]

@catladyactivist Remember when we were like “96 studies found almost half of the children who have had Covid have abnormal brain scans,” & then people heard their kids just need a little talk therapy & SSRIs, & they’ll be right as rain.

The broad range of SARS-CoV-2 infection was already well understood by early 2020, when Covid was called a "rampage through the body" in the top journal Science. This range of pathology is obviously reflected in the sequelae

Rest in peace, Owain Rhys Davies.

According to a statement shared by his brother, Owain passed away suddenly, naturally, and peacefully.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all those who knew and loved him. Thank you for being a part of the world of Twin Peaks, Agent Wilson.
