Ja. Radon steigt auch in vielen Teilen Deutschlands auf und sammelt sich in Häusern mit ungenügendem Luftaustausch zu teils gesundheitsschädlichen Werten an!

Das sollte man wissen und testen.
Man kann geeichte Geräte auch für einen bestimmten Zeitraum ausleihen.

“I cannot afford to get sick.”

Doing a Tom Hanks is about planning. Identify high-risk moments. Reduce exposure. Protect the events you don’t want to miss.

Vaccinations work. Masks work. Preventing inhalation of viruses works.

“Do a Tom Hanks” opener Visual: Dark textured background. On the right, a man in a baseball cap, glasses, and a light jacket wears a mask. Large white headline on the left; smaller lime subhead below. Text on image: “Want to reduce your risk of getting another respiratory virus? Do a Tom Hanks. Here’s how.” Footer: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” Tom Hanks quotes Visual: Black textured background with lime text; a photo strip along the bottom shows Tom Hanks masked on a subway train. Text on image: “Tom Hanks explained his train travelling exploits in a mask as: ‘I am doing a play right now, so I cannot afford to get sick.’ ‘I have had COVID enough in my life; I don’t want to do that again.’ ‘I am wearing this for health reasons.’ Doing a Tom Hanks will reduce (but not eliminate) your risk. Here’s how to do it.” Footer: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” Plan, identify and know Visual: Black textured background with lime headline and white bullet points. Text on image: “Plan, identify and know Plan ahead. Identify events you cannot afford to miss, and minimize exposure for 3 weeks beforehand. Identify highest-risk situations: • Public transport (buses, trains, planes) • Hospitals and healthcare settings • Crowded indoor spaces with poor ventilation • Restaurants and bars Identify highest-risk contacts: • People with respiratory symptoms • People recently exposed to illness • Children recently in school outbreaks Know community incidence — risk rises when cases are high.” Footer: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” Act Visual: Black textured background with lime “Act” header and white bullet list; lime closing lines and a URL. Text on image: “Act • Wear a well-fitting FFP2 or N95 on public transport and in healthcare settings • Carry a respirator in case conditions change unexpectedly • Delay visits with people who are sick or recently exposed • Outdoors: stand upwind and excuse yourself if someone is symptomatic • Choose outdoor options whenever possible • Indoors: ask about ventilation and wear a mask • At home: ventilate, use HEPA filtration, and avoid visits from sick or exposed guests • If someone in your household is ill: separate spaces, masks, ventilation, HEPA — Vaccinations work. Masks work. Preventing inhalation of viruses works.

"Dass die Ständige Impfkommission (STIKO) die Influenza-Impfung nur für bestimmte Personengruppen empfiehlt, bedeutet jedoch nicht, dass die STIKO von einer Influenzaimpfung anderer Personen abrät."

Sagt das RKI.

Das hauen wir jetzt mal analog allen um die Ohren, die nicht gegen COVID19 impfen.

Federal guidance may shift, but the evidence remains strong: the hepatitis B vaccine is safe, long-studied, and protects infants from a virus that can cause lifelong illness and cancer.
Visual: Close-up photo of a blue-gloved hand holding a vial labeled “HBV (Hepatitis B Virus)” against a dark background; the bottom edge shows the syringe tip and glove. Text on image: Headline: “The hepatitis B vaccine is a vital, long-established protection against a virus that can cause lifelong liver disease and cancer.” Body: “Decades of scientific research show that giving the birth dose promptly and completing the full vaccine schedule provides strong, durable protection for infants. Given recent shifts in U.S. federal public-health recommendations, some families may feel uncertain about how best to protect their newborns.” Footer tagline: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” Visual: Small vial labeled “Hepatitis B vaccine” (single-dose 0.5 ml) stands on a dark surface with a syringe lying in front; minimalist black background. Text on image: Body: “WHN encourages parents to look to the broader medical and pediatric community — including professional societies whose guidance is grounded in long-standing scientific evidence — for clear, trustworthy advice that prioritizes children’s health and safety.” Footer tagline: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.”

Long COVID in children is real, common, and still widely misunderstood. New pediatric studies show that kids and teens can experience lasting effects after infection, and reinfections significantly increase the risks.
Black-and-white street scene with several school-age children wearing masks; a girl in the center looks toward the camera. Large amber headline text overlays the scene. Full text: “Children can get Long COVID, and the risks are bigger than most people realize. For years, many parents, doctors, and policymakers were told that children are safe from COVID-19. Growing scientific evidence makes it clear that this notion is incorrect.” Footer: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” Top: “whn.global” and a page URL “whn.global/scientific/long-covid-in-children/”. Dark background with an image of a tired child lying on a couch, hand to forehead, partially visible at the bottom right; large amber headline at top. Full text: “What the science shows Long COVID is thoroughly documented in children. Studies show 10–15% of kids develop long-term symptoms after infection, and reinfections double the likelihood of Long COVID and related complications. Symptoms can affect brain function, sleep, autonomic regulation, respiratory health, the GI system, and include issues like fatigue, headaches, dizziness, chest pain, trouble concentrating, and new-onset diabetes. Imaging studies show measurable reductions in brain volume and disrupted connectivity in key regions — some changes persist over time.” Footer: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” Dark background with a photo of a child in a tan sweater sneezing into a tissue on the lower right; large amber headline. Full text: “Because no curative treatments exist, the best protection is reducing infections and reinfections. Layered precautions work: vaccination, high-quality respirators (N95/FFP2), ventilation + HEPA, remote-learning options, and avoiding pressure for kids to return to school while sick. Even if the percentage seems small, the scale of infections means the impact on children’s health, learning, and development could shape an entire generation. Protecting kids now is an investment in their long-term wellbeing.” Footer: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” Top: “whn.global” and “whn.global/scientific/long-covid-in-children/”.

Caregivers are carrying a part of the pandemic most people never see. For families living with COVID, Long COVID, or chronic illness, caregiving is not a “month” or a moment, it’s a daily reality shaped by responsibility, fear, love, and constant adaptation.
Visual: Outdoor park with trees. A caregiver sits beside a person in a wheelchair on a path/bench area. Text: “If you think the pandemic is over, ask the people still caregiving through it. National Family Caregivers Month may be over, but caregivers’ work never stops. Millions step into unexpected roles every day to support loved ones through COVID, Long COVID, and chronic illness.” Footer: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” Small header link: “whn.global/honoring-the-caregivers-among-us/”. Visual: Close view of interlaced hands—an adult gently holding an older person’s hand; warm indoor setting. Text: “Caregiving for someone with COVID is not only physically demanding, it also requires infection-prevention planning, home ventilation adjustments, masking, and ongoing vigilance. Caring for someone with Long COVID often means managing unpredictable and changing symptoms, navigating medical skepticism, and supporting someone through profound changes in energy, mobility, and even identity. These caregivers are holding safety, science, courage, and compassion all at once.” Footer: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” Small header link: “whn.global/honoring-the-caregivers-among-us/”. Visual: A person looks through a window toward someone inside; soft lighting suggests a supportive visit. Text: “Caregivers are doing important pandemic response work. We honor caregivers not only with words, but with action, for families and the community. Support looks like: • Offering to run errands or deliver groceries safely • Coordinating virtual or outdoor masked visits to reduce isolation • Sharing and amplifying accurate information about COVID prevention and Long COVID care • Advocating for policies that protect the right to mask and ensure clean indoor air • Practicing compassion, and leading with curiosity rather than judgment To every caregiver: we see you. We honor you. We stand with you.” Footer: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” Small header link: “whn.global/honoring-the-caregivers-among-us/”.

Recent discourse has really cemented for me that many objections to mask wearing are rooted in an insecure kind of masculinity. Wearers seen as 'weak' or 'scared'. This idea is as absurd as calling a soldier weak or scared because he or she chooses to wear a Kevlar vest.

Long COVID isn’t a fringe issue, it’s one of the most common chronic conditions in the U.S., yet treated like an afterthought. Symptoms vary, onset is delayed, and stigma keeps people quiet. The result? Millions suffering with little recognition or support.
Dark, grainy world-map background dotted with red circles, WHN logo at top left and a small page link at top right. Large white headline in a black box: “Long COVID is everywhere, so why are we ignoring it?” Sub-text below in white: “Five years in, there’s still no universal definition for Long COVID — but we do know it’s common, serious, and massively underestimated. The gap between its impact and the attention it gets is one of the pandemic’s biggest failures.” Footer line: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” (Tiny link at top: whn.global/long-covid-in-context-prevalence-search-interest-and-funding/) Blurred newspaper/magazine background with the word “COVID-19”; WHN logo top left and page link top right. Big white headline in a black box: “The numbers are huge, but the response is not.” Body text: “Long COVID affects 5.3% of U.S. adults — about 90× the threshold for a ‘rare’ disease. Some studies estimate up to 36% globally. Millions of children are also affected. But funding? Awareness? Government response? Nowhere near proportional.” Footer line: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” (Link: whn.global/long-covid-in-context-prevalence-search-interest-and-funding/) Photo of a masked young person outdoors with foliage behind them. WHN logo top left and page link top right. Large headline in a black box: “So… why this disconnect?” Bullet list in white text: • “Symptoms vary across every organ system” • “Onset can be delayed by weeks or months” • “Fatigue, hair loss, cognitive issues get dismissed or misattributed” • “Stigma + medical gaslighting shut people down” • “Psychological defenses (denial, rationalization) help society look away” Inset black box caption: “The result? A crisis hiding in plain sight.” Footer line: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” (Link: whn.global/long-covid-in-context-prevalence-search-interest-and-funding/) Close-up portrait of a person wearing an N95 respirator; WHN logo top left and page link top right.
