“It Is No Measure of Health To Be Well-Adjusted to a Profoundly Sick Society.” | COVID: Airborne. Ongoing. Awareness saves lives.

@JeromeAdamsMD Use present tense please.
Half of them LOOK fine.
The problem IS a lack of testing (and masking, isolating...)
English
Teachable moment: Most people - even fierce critics of COVID policies - agree that truly sick people (or high-risk exposures) should isolate to protect the public (by law if needed).
The rub with COVID? A ~50% asymptomatic rate meant half of infected people felt (and looked) totally fine. No one knew they were “sick.” In most of 2020, the core problem wasn’t about policy. It was the lack of rapid, widespread testing, so we could truly identify the healthy vs the infected. 🤔
Jerome Adams@JeromeAdamsMD
🚨 We’re in a teachable moment - and we’re blowing it. The same voices who said “no mandates” and “we will not comply” are suddenly fine with hantavirus quarantines and Ebola travel bans. This proves: people support public health measures… when they feel threatened by someone else’s “freedom.” So let’s have some real, nuanced conversation about the value of public health measures (including “mandates”) vs individual freedom trade offs, instead of mindlessly repeating “we will not comply,” or conversely denying that many covid measures in fact went too far…

Medvedev perde pela 7.ª vez na 1R de #RolandGarros. Mais um dia daqueles difíceis de explicar. A reclamar por tudo e por nada, perdido taticamente (tanto amortie) e com vantagem de 4-2 no último set.
Ele joga melhor em terra do que diz, mas nestes dias quentes avaria.
Português
Esqueci-me do Sinner, mas quer dizer. Outra tareia a caminho, provavelmente.

Dia 3 de #RolandGarros. Conclusão da 1R depois de dia emocionante.

@ES_MCS_lifer @VeronicaAthie @Engineer_Wong @ukhadds Thank you for the suggestion, Helen. I’ve been trying to get a hold of these for a while but they were always unavailable at the time. It’s quite pricey to ship them to Europe but I think it will be a good investment. I’ll check if they’re available now. Stay safe! 💛✨
English
@VeronicaAthie @Engineer_Wong @adreamofpassion @ukhadds I am immunocompromised so my system is likely as functional as a newborn's. When I was in hospital last year, ward room of 4 beds, I kept these on my rolling bed table -- NUKIT UVC torches. Set of 4, 2 charging in bathroom, 2 on the table bathing me in UC light.
English
Question for infection control/aerosol specialists: in a shared hospital room (2 cribs, no curtains, unmasked staff in/out), where is the best placement for a HEPA air purifier for a baby: near the crib? between the two cribs? elevated vs floor? @ukhadds @Engineer_Wong
English
@VentiloAngel @ukhadds @Engineer_Wong Thank you so much for taking the time to share all these inputs, Nathalie. 🙏✨ I’m gonna watch the YouTube video tomorrow!
English
on may 2026 the youtube chanel "air quality matters" published a video on the subject : where to install air purifier for infection risk control? It seems that the respons is : in the middle of the room. and not close to the infected person. youtube.com/watch?v=nG-scL… . But because it is probably not practical or possible to do so, the compromise, as is saying simone jones in the video, is to install the air purifier close to the vulnerable person (in that case the baby you love)

@Frances__Daily @ukhadds @Engineer_Wong Thanks, Frances. Staff have started masking at our request, mostly with surgical masks, but I’ll take it. It’s exhausting having to ask new staff every day, but those who come back for another shift seem to have gotten the message and just do it now. It’s a newborn!!!!
English
@ukhadds @Engineer_Wong @adreamofpassion I’d say as close to the baby as possible but I will leave it to those more expert than me. Sorry staff aren’t masking.

@PacoOnPause @Ninawildflower I’m so sorry, Paco. Wishing you better days ahead. ✨

I had my worst 6 week stretch since 2022. I don't talk about my health a lot but this illness is traumatic and I don't know how to convey it, in a way that someone who hasn't experienced this can understand. I wish people understood but I understand why they don't.
PACO@PacoOnPause
Every improvement I've had has been preceded by a backslide and every setback has also been preceded by a backslide. My body has been doing weird things for over a month and I feel like I'm either going to get better or worse. 50/50 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
English
@Engineer_Wong @ukhadds Thank you for answering! Have a great week.
English
@adreamofpassion @ukhadds It doesn't make much difference in this case.

@stevefgracio E bons comentários, como sempre! Para além de ter conhecimento técnico e ser uma voz simpática, o Steve deixa a partida respirar. Respeita os tempos. É raro e, por isso, muito apreciado. 🙏✨

Exibição de uma vida de Nishesh Basavareddy. Há uns dias perdeu na 2R do Jamor, agora bate um top 10 pela 1.ª vez e alcança em #RolandGarros 1.º êxito em terra vs top 100. Sensacional.
Taticamente top. Respostas, amorties (!), esquerda ao longo, movimentação. Uau!

@brailemom @hoolie_r And even surgical masks work better than no surgical masks.
English
@hoolie_r It turns out even not great fitting respirators still work better than surgical masks, so they can fuck off

@covidbagofdicks @kananaskinyeti Thank you very much! All the best to you and your family. 🙏💛✨

@adreamofpassion @kananaskinyeti Congratulations on being new parents and sending lots of love to your new baby! Becoming a parent was the best thing I’ve ever done with my life ❤️🙏

You can’t make this shit up. This was the sign that greeted me and my wife yesterday at the Stanford (yes that Stanford) Ambulatory Surgical dept yesterday. It’s like they’re rubbing it in our faces. Not a fuckin mask to be seen on the floor. Because of course.

Body positivity isn’t about never changing your body. It’s believing your worth isn’t determined by your body, whether you choose to change it or not.
Gina@FlorioGina
Most of Mindy Kaling's early career was full of punchlines and witty comebacks about how she would never lose weight because she was content with her curves and disinterested in conforming to the unfair beauty standards. Now she says she achieved her drastic weight loss by "food moderation," hiking, and strength training. The fat celebs and influencers only hid behind the battle cry of body positivity in the past because they couldn't conform to the beauty standards. But now that Ozempic is here, they can and so they do. Good for her, she looks great. But let's not pretend this is due to hiking.

@elisaperego78 It’s been happening in cycling tours for years now, as you’ve reported, yet nothing seems to change. The level of denial is quite remarkable.
