If you ain't first you're last. Shake and bake.

Just your yearly reminder that COVID-19 is clinically recognized as a systemic vasculopathy characterized by endothelial dysfunction, thromboinflammation, and microthrombosis across multiple organ beds.

I never ended up getting sick. There are several people with bone rattling coughs now. I don't understand why people are okay with having a cough so violent that it can bruise one's ribs but that is just me, the weirdo in a mask. Happy upper respiratory virus season.

Exposure day 6
The girl who works behind me has fallen ill from the circulating virus at work. I resumed masking plus daily nasal rinses this has seemed to spare me. The girl behind me laughed when I masked and told me masks do not work. I will mask for the remainder of the week.

Do you ever think about how many lives could have been saved if we had focused on cleaning the air and not surfaces when it comes to airborne viruses like the flu, RSV, and COVID?

Clean indoor air can save so many lives

Being covid safe should be free and it is so expensive. This is capitalism at its worst. We've put the individual on a pedestal and forced disability and death on the many. Masks should be free and required in compulsory settings. Working from home should be encouraged.

The problem with long term isolation is you become insane and weird and unpalatable and unrelatable and it’s seemingly impossible to ever forge meaningful connections with people ever again

[Barry Hunt @BarryHunt008]

Here's what "living with Covid" looks like

"The world’s biggest killer is ischaemic heart disease, responsible for 16 percent of deaths.

It has seen the largest increase in deaths between 2000 and 2023, up from 3.0 million to 9.5 million."

Wow. 😮

Neoliberal healthcare, instead of addressing the harmful conditions that make people depressed, uses antidepressants to modify individuals' internal states, enabling them to (wrongly) tolerate circumstances they might otherwise (rightly) resist.

Latest update on USA excess deaths in preschool-aged children (0-4 years old) shows devastating effect of repeated infections with SARS-CoV-2 virus ("COVID") on their immune function

Excess deaths from disease in this cohort of nearly 20 million children are running more than 15% higher year over year than prior to the global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

[James Throt MBBS, MD, PhD, FRCPath @JamesThrot]

The brains of children & teens are in their most critical stages of executive function development.

Introducing persistent microvascular clotting, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier disruption, and grey matter shrinkage during these foundational years is NOT benign.

I don’t think people are ready for what is about to happen in Europe.

Childcare is infrastructure.

There’s one way to stop it, by not infecting them with Covid.

After 6 years of masking with N95s everywhere all the time I will no longer be masking. I have not been sick at all for 6 years.

[Outbreak Updates @outbreakupdates]

Every longevity protocol should include one question:

How am I reducing the cumulative burden of viral infections over my lifetime?

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

She accidentally described one of the most replicated findings in behavioral psychology.

Harvard and Duke researchers found in 2011 that people value things they build themselves 63% higher than identical pre-assembled versions. They called it the IKEA effect. Labor alone, even assembling a standardized box from instructions, is enough to make people overvalue their own creations.

Gardening runs this effect at full intensity. You chose the seeds. You dug the holes. You watered daily. By harvest, your brain has priced that tomato at roughly 10x grocery store rates, and the math feels completely justified.

Now stack Kahneman and Tversky's loss aversion on top. Losses register at approximately 2x the emotional intensity of equivalent gains. One of the most replicated findings in behavioral economics.

So the aphid eating her garden is triggering both simultaneously. She built something her brain values at 163% of objective worth. She's watching it get destroyed in real time. Her nervous system is processing that destruction at double intensity.

The grocery store tomato being out of stock? Mild annoyance. Zero labor investment means zero IKEA effect, means proportional emotional response.

The garden tomato carries months of accumulated effort justification. The aphid isn't eating a $4 tomato. Her brain priced it at $40 and is processing the loss at $80.

Gardening is the only common hobby that combines the IKEA effect, loss aversion, and a live adversary that reproduces faster than you can respond.

The violence tracks.

Equal effort does not always mean equal impact.
