#CovidIsNotOver

New hospital study: air purifiers cut airborne COVID by 98%. Rooms with HEPA ventilation had 0 virus detected. Clean air is essential public health infrastructure — not a luxury.

“The revolution isn’t happening if it’s not accessible. The revolution isn’t happening if you don’t listen to some of your most vulnerable members.”

Out today in Deceleration: "Mask blocs" in #Texas support the sick, #disabled and otherwise COVID-Conscious communities, providing vital mutual aid amid attacks on public health. https://deceleration.news/texas-mask-blocs-covid-19-federal-and-state-attacks/

Danke @wirsindverdi!

Endlich nimmt sich eine Gewerkschaft des Themas #COVID19 und seiner Folgen #LongCOVID, #PostCOVID, #MECFS an.

Übrigens: #CovidIsNotOver. Für niemanden.

New study shows that COVID may damage your immune system for a year post infection.

This is the problem with ignoring a pandemic in favour of a “you do you” approach.

There’s so much Covid that most people get it at least once per year. Their immune systems don’t have time to recover before they become infected again.

Disability advocates have been screaming about this for years. We beg people to mask up for their own protection and to make public spaces safer and more accessible for us.

We don’t yet know what the long term prognosis will be after 5, 10 or 15+ infections.

Wear a mask. Clean and ventilate the air. Do your part to minimize the spread.

Wie gut ist das denn: Jahrelang modellieren ein paar Menschen #Corona-Infektionswellen, allerdings nur auf Social Media und eher hobbymäßig. Trotzdem sind ihre Zahlen von unschätzbarem Wert, vor allem für Team Vorsicht.

Drei von ihnen haben sich jetzt zusammengetan und ein Paper über ihre Ergebnisse veröffentlicht.

Das #Corona-Abwassermonitoring liegt auf dem niedrigsten Wert seit Messbeginn: https://infektionsradar.gesund.bund.de/de/covid/abwasser

Laut @RV_enigma (drüben bei Bluesky) ist das eine übersetzte Inzidenz von 92 (Infizierten pro 100.000 pro Woche): https://bsky.app/profile/rv-enigma.bsky.social/post/3llvhymzkvc27

Nur mal so als Info reingeschmissen für all jene, die ihr Verhalten danach ausrichten.

I just had a guy get angry at me for saying we’re still in a pandemic. He said it was fear mongering and “silly” to continue to take precautions.

He then went on to say his wife has Long Covid and he’s had Covid “at least 4-5 times”.

This attitude is why we’re in this mess. His own wife was disabled by Covid, and rather than adapt his behaviour he’s exposed her 4-5 additional times.

Repeat infections are devastating to those with Long Covid. Not to mention each infection does cumulative damage, and eventually you will be left disabled.

Even if you’re someone who believes it’s “just a flu”… surely you recognize people didn’t get the flu 4-5 times in a four year period? Being sick that often is an aberration, and a darn good reason to take precautions.

You know who hasn’t had COVID 4-5 times? People who are taking precautions.

Bonus tip: If you’re masking and you become infected anyways, you’ve reduced your viral load AND you’ve made sure not to infect anyone else. That’s community care & compassion and it’s worth doing.

Mir wurde auf YouTube ein Video mit dem Titel "Warum bist du immer krank? Diese drei Dinge schwächen dein Immunsystem!" vorgeschlagen.

Einzig der mir als allerletzte angezeigte Userkommentar ergänzt den Faktor "Viren, die das Immunsystem schwächen können". Viele andere Leute bestätigen, ständig krank zu sein und schieben es teilweise auf den Infektionsschutz, der inzwischen schon vor 3 Jahren aufgehoben wurde. Wann wird das mal öffentlich richtiggestellt?

It’s International Long Covid Awareness Day, and my latest article looks at the reasons why people believe they don’t know anyone with Long Covid.

We desperately need increased visibility into this debilitating chronic illness so that we can raise awareness and fund treatments, mitigations and cures.

Anyone can get Long Covid. It’s not limited to ‘only the vulnerable’ or those who had a severe initial infection.

This disease does not discriminate. Even people with asymptomatic initial infections have found themselves disabled by Long Covid.

It’s time we start processing the trauma of the pandemic and stop living in denial.

We are in the middle of a mass disabling event, and the longer it takes us to admit that, the more people will be harmed.

Let’s spread the word that the only way to avoid Long Covid is to avoid getting Covid in the first place.

Wear a mask. Stay home when sick. Clean and ventilate the air.

When we all agree to care about the air we share, we can begin to bring about real change.

Today, 15 March, 2025, is #LongCOVIDAwarenessDay. We stand with those affected, advocate for research, and raise awareness for better care and recovery.

Here's the 20" #CorsiRosenthalBox I'm working on. Fans in rectangular housings basically don't exist in the UK, so I made a cardboard shim out of the box for this circular one.

This build was a proof of concept (hence the green masking tape rather than duct tape, and the plastic sheeting still on the #MERV13 filter boards). I was testing whether the shim and the boards would support the weight of the fan. Despite being a mock up it's surprisingly rigid!

Next stage involves building it properly (including sealing those gaps at the corners; the 20" fan is actually more like 21.5" across and the boards are 19.5"), then using my anemometer to measure the flow rate of the finished box, so I can work out what size room it can filter. I'm intending this one for a local community centre where a Queer Club meets, to make their meetings safer.

Hey #covidsafe bubble, wo kauft ihr denn Masken für Kinder (4-6)? Bald eine lange Flugreise #maskup #covidisnotover #cleanair
