here's a good example of the "disjointing experience" in a tiktok video i just came across. this woman is doing rotations in a hospital & describes feeling a "post covid lobotomy" after every covid infection she has
Thanks to the indefatigable David Fisman and colleagues, we know that spikes in invasive group A streptococcal disease were “consistent with SARS-CoV-2-associated immune dysregulation”, NOT immunity debt. Covid weakens the immune system. medrxiv.org/content/10.648…

This is where we are folks - The New York Post gives better public health advice than the U.S. Govt public health institutions 👇 AIRBORNE AIRBORNE AIRBORNE How long diseases like measles and the flu linger in the air — after an infected person has left the room Measles is a highly contagious virus that attacks the respiratory system, infecting about 9 out of 10 unvaccinated people who are exposed. The virus can survive on surfaces or suspended in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves a room, according to the CDC.

A partial list of cancers that can be caused by infections: cervical cancer stomach cancer liver cancer bladder cancer oropharyngeal cancer anal cancer penile cancer vaginal cancer Burkitt’s lymphoma Kaposi’s sarcoma bile duct cancer Merkel cell carcinoma adult T-cell leukemia
Covid-19 is not just a respiratory infection. Cardiovascular symptoms are seen in acute and long covid. Katharine Lang reports on what we’ve learnt since the onset of the pandemic bmj.com/content/392/bm…
One in five children infected in the recent London measles outbreak were reportedly hospitalised. Don’t believe the anti-vaxxers when they say “it’s a mild disease” or “it’s better to get immunity naturally”. It isn’t.
Breaking: The CDC reports SARS-CoV-2 levels *quadrupled* in Minnesota in the past week. Using harmonized wastewater estimates, we project 1 in 12 people in Minnesota are actively infectious. This is equivalent to a 59% chance of exposure in a room of 10 people. You will note that many wastewater sites are not reporting. We may see the estimated levels retroactively corrected downward slightly. However, enough data are coming in that it does not fall in the CDC classification for "limited data." Four states (ND, NH, AR, and MS) have limited/no data, and many more states have <4 sites reporting. Overall, the data quality is not bad, perhaps a "B." These are the best real-time estimates we have, and they suggest people should #maskup, test, isolate when ill, quarantine for exposures, and get boosted today to reduce the risk of getting sick 2 weeks from now. These are among the highest statewide levels anywhere in the U.S. in a long time.
If everyone could stop catching COVID please, that'd really help us actually deliver healthcare.
