New Covid Variants Are Sending Us Into Uncertain Times! #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 #Pandemic #CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne #H5N1 #Measles #WhoopingCough #RSV #Norovirus #Tuberculosis #Polio #Mpox #MaskUp #N95 #KeepMasksInHealthcare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWe10aheufY

I recently had my first doctor refuse to wear a mask for me. They confidently told me “new science shows you only have to wear one when you’re sick”. I reminded them that asymptomatic transmission is real and that I’m immunocompromised & have been hospitalized for a cold… They still refused. I’ve only had one other healthcare worker refuse and it was a tech so I was able to request a different person perform my test (I have masks required as an accommodation in my medical chart). Sadly I can’t just request a different doctor. Interestingly this was one of the only appointments I’ve had where I haven’t brought a man with me. Male friends usually accompany me and just sit in the room wearing a mask and it tends to increase compliance. Once again misogyny in medicine rears its ugly head. I was fortunate to be wearing a fitted N99 and have a laminar flow air purifier, so I was as protected as possible. This is a privilege not afforded to everyone. But I also have no natural defences. I shouldn’t be expected to risk my health to get healthcare. There was no logical reason the doctor couldn’t put on a mask. They had them in the clinic. I had extra N95s in my bag. They just didn’t want to. They found the idea that they might infect me to be offensive. I am begging healthcare workers to stop doing this. You should be masking by default. With everything we know about how COVID is transmitted it’s ridiculous we don’t have mandatory masking in healthcare. At the bare minimum, you should mask mirror. You shouldn’t put the onus on the patient to beg for you to do the right thing. You shouldn’t be spreading misinformation about how masks are only needed if you’re sick. You shouldn’t be risking your patients health. The imbalance of power is real and needs to be respected. I had no options in the moment. It was care I urgently needed and I couldn’t simply walk out. I was confident enough to push the issue a little, but not past the point where it might compromise my care. I had to do a quick risk analysis and decide to take my chances. No patient should have to do that. We need masks and clean air in healthcare. We need doctors to show us they understand the science of airborne transmission. No one should ever have to choose between care and covid. #covid #COVIDisAirborne #sarscov2 #disability #ableism #healthcare

Hmm, just thought, "How convenient that COVID-19 [sic: formatting] is why 'we are experiencing high demand', while also justifying no health restrictions anywhere because 'the pandemic is over' [sic]." #UnitedKingdom #UK #UK_politics #UK111 #NHS #SaveOurNHS #covid #covid19 #SARS2 #SarsCoV2 #SARS_CoV2 #Infection #InfectionPrevention #InfectionControl #Public #PublicHealth #PublicHealthPolicy #efficiency #ResourceEfficiency #Savings #budget #spending #Austerity #BudgetCuts

@tomjennings@tldr.nettime.org In summary for you: A positive is a true positive, from any test.A negative result from an expired test is uninformative both because reagents degrade, and old RATs are insensitive to Omicron variantsunexpired rapid tests will give false negatives in 40-80% of positive cases, so a negative on a fresh test should be taken as a very weak signal that an infection isn't SARS-CoV-2test using a cheek and nose swab, and not the way-up-there nasopharyngeal swabbing which is less comfortable and has a higher false negative rate #SARSCoV2 #COVID #COVID19

Researchers tested undergrads while measuring brain blood flows. Their brain scans looked like people in their 60s: previously infected students exhibited distinct prefrontal haemodynamic patterns during cognitive engagement, reminiscent of those observed in adults four decades older, and this appeared to be especially true if they reported experiencing brain fog due to COVID-19. Over a third of them showed objective cognitive impairment: 37.33 % of participants who reported previously having COVID-19 displayed objective cognitive impairment [...] (assessed via computerised testing), And neuron death is irreversible: This may indicate microglial hyperactivation, theoretically driven by elevated oxidative stress from dysfunctional mitochondria—a possible contributor to cell death and cognitive impairment https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0889159124007311 h/t @PatrickWirth@mstdn.ca #COVID #SARSCoV2 #LongCOVID #COVID19 #BrainFog #PASC

Find's ja witzig, dass gerade der #ADAC noch laufend über die neuesten Corona Varianten berichtet. 😅 https://www.adac.de/news/corona-herbst-test-impfung/ Find's schade, dass die neuesten Varianten in der Presse keine Eilmeldungen mehr wert sind. 😁 Klang immer so lustig. "Neue Variante XYZ breitet sich aus." 🥹 #Corona#SarsCoV2

Here's the latest variant picture for Canada, to early February. XFG.* "Stratus" rebounded a little to 54% frequency. #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 #Canada #XFG #Stratus #NB_1_8_1 #Nimbus 🧵

Here's the latest variant picture with a global scope, to late January. XFG.* "Stratus" continued to dominate, but fell sharply to 52% frequency. NB.1.8.1 "Nimbus" grew slightly to 28%,. BA.3.2.* "Cicada" rebounded to 7%. #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 #Global Significant growth in NB.1.8.1 "Nimbus" is being reported from Germany, Canada and Australia. I’ll dig into these in more detail, in later posts. Report link: https://mike-honey.github.io/covid-19-genomes/output/Coronavirus%20-%20Genomic%20Sequencing%20-%20report%20Global.pdf
