Immer schön fleißig die Viren schlucken wirkt Wunder für den Unterricht:

„Damit ist das Ausmaß des Stundenausfalls fast doppelt so hoch wie unmittelbar vor der Pandemie.“

Das wird seit Jahren trotz all des leeren Geschwätzes von breiter Immunität von deutschen „Experten“ einfach nicht besser. 🤷🏼‍♂️🫠🍿

Neue Zahlen
+ Unterrichtsausfall: Diese
Hamburger Schulen sind besonders
betroffen
Hamburg. Fast jede zehnte Unterrichtsstunde nicht planmäßig erteilt. 166.370 Stunden im Schuljahr komplett ausgefallen. Hoher
Anteil in Stadtteilschulen.

Die EU-Kommission wollte echte Fangverbote für diese Fische. U.a. Deutschland hat sich dagegen gestemmt. Die Zukunft der Fischer sei wichtig, außerdem sei Fischerei ein Stück Heimat, so Bundeslandwirtschaftsminister Alois Rainer.

Wenn Heimat [hier: der zu fangende Fisch] (aus)stirbt ist dies unvermeidbar.

Das muss wohl eine sehr schräge, rechtsoffene Heimatliebe-Theorie des verbrannten Landes sein, nehme ich an.

#feminism

Kachel via Insta von @womenrules: Women are 51%of the population, but 60% of the poor and 83% of single parents doing 66% of the work producing 50% of the food but earn just 11% of the pay and earn only 20% of the land. In case you wondered why we still need feminism.

There are only 6 countries without codified constitution in the world, and only 11 whose codified constitution predates end of WWII.

Surely, we deserve a modern statute of citizen rights and obligations, like the vast majority of countries in the world.

The Spectator and others have chosen (deliberately I suspect) to interpret this article as a desire to stop a future Reform UK government from legislating. My purpose is to stop *any* government crushing our fundamental rights. It’s just more urgent now. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

GISAID is now blocking genomic sequencing access to critical resources like Nextstrain, Covspectrum, Outbreak-info, & others.

This makes us less safe, as live tracking of viral evolution remains critical for assessment of emerging threats. This needs to be escalated.

Ryan Hisner @ryanhisner.bsky.social · 16d

Bad. No justification, no communication, no standard procedures for making changes—just arbitrary pronouncements cutting off access to some of the most valuable resources we have.

Kristian G. Andersen @kgandersen.bsky.social · 17d

And now NextStrain as well.

Next up, will GISAID start charging open-source community tools to have access?

That would completely shaft users who contributed to GISAID, where we never agreed to that and assumed GISAID would be good custodians of the data we contributed. They're not.

Bottom line of systematic assessment of studies on Covid vaccinations/boosters:
~50% reduction of hospitalization, across all adults (not just older) who are not immunocompromised
Real data on vaccine-induced myocarditis: occurred in 1-3 per 100,000 male adolescents
