Thanks @CIDRAP for highlighting our study. We found viral RNA in the air even at low C02 levels (which did not go >800ppm). This means in hospitals, there is risk of infection even with good ventilation. #masks #HEPA #vaccines all work to mitigate risk.

Interesting chart below showing number of people receiving long-term incapacity/sickness benefits in UK.

It’s really fascinating to study.

Something seems to have happened in 2020.

Anyone…?

Spain: Sick leave is skyrocketing and CCOO warns that it is an 'effect of Covid'

"The increase in sick leave is undeniable; it has almost tripled between 2018 and 2024."

The evidence keeps growing.

After billions of administered doses worldwide, a major new Lancet review concludes mRNA vaccines are safe and highly effective.

The same platform used for COVID-19 is now being harnessed to tackle influenza, RSV, and cancer.

Science wins.

“I work the front desk at a small doctor’s office, and I wish people could see what happens on the other side of the phone.
Every day, older patients call us confused.

They are told to use the patient portal, upload documents, check lab results online, fill out forms before the visit, and confirm everything through a link.
Some of them do not know what a portal is.

Some do not have a smartphone.
Some have one, but they are afraid to click the wrong thing.
Last week, a man in his late 80s called about his test results.

He said, “Ma’am, I don’t mean to bother you, but the computer says I have a message and I don’t know how to open it.”
He sounded ashamed.
That broke my heart.

He should not have to feel ashamed for needing a human being.
Technology can be helpful. I understand that.

But when people who built this country are made to feel helpless because everything became a login and a password, we have gone too far.
Not everything needs to be an app.
Not every answer should be hidden behind a screen.

Sometimes people need a voice.
A patient person.
A real human who says, “Don’t worry, I can help you.”
Progress should not leave seniors behind.

Because one day, the world will move faster than us too.
And I hope someone is kind enough to slow down.

Far-UVC is already proving it can reduce infectious pathogens in indoor air— NFL teams are investing to protect their players and performance.
Imagine if that same energy existed everywhere else.

Turns out cleaner air isn’t complicated… people just have to actually give a sh*t.

[Jon Douglas @atranscendedman]

RECOVER studied 74 autopsies and found replicating SARS-CoV-2 in the heart in 11 cases.

82% had cardiac Long COVID symptoms.

The virus was found inside heart muscle cells alongside immune and structural changes, supporting viral persistence.

This is all completely ridiculous, especially when you know that *sunglasses* conceal your identity more than a mask does.

You'll see the same pattern in the news across EU countries, but so far only in Spain has anyone said it like it is 💀

Supporting Healthcare Heroes UK are calling for universal respirator use in healthcare

[Dr. Sean Mullen @drseanmullen]

As physicians struggle to explain rising cancer rates and excess mortality, it’s remarkable how often magical thinking fills the vacuum.

We’re living through a mass disabling and carcinogenic event driven, at least in part, by a pathogen many healthcare workers no longer bother to mitigate against…for themselves or their patients.

Expect a lot more explanations involving fate, luck, karma, ‘good people,’ and bad luck.

Anything but the risk factors staring us in the face.

[Alan Barnard @alanbarnard1]

These are the conclusions from @HarrySpoelstra post below.

When you read them, you will know that these days, you can breathe in a heart attack. Amazing, innit?

[Cat in the Hat 🐈‍⬛ 🎩 🇬🇧 @_CatintheHat]

The truth is, it’s becoming harder and harder to ignore this worrying rise in infectious diseases since the start of the Covid pandemic.

Even UKHSA is sounding the alarm  

Lockdowns ended nearly 5 years ago now - we can’t keep blaming them forever.

It’s NOT cold/flu season here. BUT people who are coughing, spluttering, running a fever and/or needing little 💤 in the afternoon seem utterly baffled when I ask if they might have the virus which, apparently, no longer has a name. 🤧 🤧 🤢

By the time authorities admitted Covid was airborne, millions of people had already died.

The Andes strain of Hantavirus spreads person to person.

Everyone on the boat should have been quarantined.

You don’t “wait & see” with a virus that has a 40% fatality rate.

[Dame Sa 🐝 3.5% @LongCovidHell]

Hantavirus ship passengers leaving hospital quarantine and heading back to their homes all across the UK.

Sure it’ll be fine… 😄👍

Hang on, doesn’t Hantavirus have an incubation period of up to 8 weeks?

How long has it been?

(Reads article.)

72 HOURS.

🤦‍♀️

[Clinically Vulnerable Families 💙💜💗 @cv_cev]

📢 MEDIA RELEASE
Cruise passengers exposed to hantavirus are about to leave hospital and isolate at home.

Where is the plan, @wesstreeting?
Families, NHS staff and delivery drivers deserve to see it.

[SARS‑CoV‑2 (COVID-19) @COVID19_disease]

🚨 JUST IN: Scientists who warned about airborne COVID are now urging WHO to treat Andes hantavirus as airborne by default warning the world not to repeat past mistakes

[collagen machine broke @chronicallybeee]

“who allowed her to travel on a plane when she was so sick with hantavirus that she died in the hospital afterwards??”
hey so have you seen what happened and has been happening with COVID? people just walk around hacking all over everyone now

[tern @1goodtern]

Sitting here wondering which bad decisions are going to be made next regarding the hantavirus spread.
