It's homicidal that healthcare workers aren't required to wear N95 masks. They are helping to spread COVID and killing people with their negligence and lack of compassion. They should be called Deathcare workers.

My husband was hospitalized in August and was medically immunosuppressed
No ONE WORE a mask and he wasn’t placed on Resp Isolation
Now he has severe lung damage from Covid 19 which he got in the hospital
and is oxygen dependent

All could have been prevented with a N95 mask
Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

“On February 1, 2022, while facing the Omicron variant and with the older adult newly boosted, Denmark became the first country to drop all NPIs. A few months later, 70% of the population had been infected with the Omicron variant, showing the SARS-CoV-2 transmission potential when unmitigated.”

Quello che Putin e Trump vogliono imporre a Ucraina ed Europa non è un piano di pace. È un progetto che apre la strada a guerre più grandi, svende l’Ucraina, indebolisce l’Europa e arricchisce una piccola cerchia di oligarchi russi e americani a spese di tutti – compresi i contribuenti europei.
Il “piano di guerra” di Putin e Trump
Come svendere l’Ucraina, liquidare la Nato, indebolire l’Europa e rilanciare la macchina di conquista russa, facendo affari d’oro a spese di tutti

"If Russia stops fighting, there is no more war.

If Ukraine stops fighting, there is no more Ukraine."

They could hardly make it more clear.
Russia flat out rejects Trump's 28-point peace plan: "Even in a reduced military and territorial form, Ukraine would remain a significant danger, requiring us to keep our forces on the western borders."

And I only want you to do that until we've upgraded indoor public air handling systems in ways we know will dramatically reduce the spread of aerosol borne viruses! N95s are like a boil water advisory: useful and important, but not a long term solution. Improved building engineering standards are!

Here’s some encouraging news for our community: in Germany, the government has launched a ‘National Decade Against Post-Infectious Diseases’ (2026-2036), pledging about €500 million of funding to study post-viral illnesses including Long COVID and ME/CFS.

Omfg why can infection control not get their 🤬 clown car in order and do their 🤬 jobs and tell people that for an aerosol hazard you need aerosol PPE?

Seriously, wtf is wrong with medicine that it tolerates this constant amateur-hour incompetence? We know this is killing people!

"Do no harm"?

Wait I’ve seen this one!

2020: “Covid is not airborne”
2021: “Covid infections build immunity”
2022: “Covid is over”
2023: “Covid is mild”
2024: “Covid is just a cold”
2025: “It’s not Covid, it’s flu”

Actually, yes. Years of Covid infections damaged your immune system making you vulnerable to flu.

The degree to which we are starting to understand the immune system and the role of viral pathogens in triggering autoimmune diseases is literally breathtaking. Twenty-five years ago we were fumbling around with the most basic pathways knowledge, lost in the dark. Now this!

Human to human transmission is also possible. The patient could have caught it from an asymptomatic human case, which exist. Flu typically has a wide range of effects

"No H2H unless proven otherwise" is quite a bias.

If confirmed it will be WA's first confirmed case. How many others are out there?
🚨 HEADS UP

Washington State has reported a suspected human H5N1 case with no cattle exposure likely bird-linked (or from contaminated milk).

The patient is severely ill in hospital.

Clade pending (D1 vs B3). CDC confirmation awaited.

If confirmed, it will be Washington’s first H5N1 case of 2025.

Important: The anti-vaxx movement is closely connected to white supremacy. They blame the spread of measles on immigrants, and they frequently target immigrant communities with anti-vaxx disinformation.

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.

This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

That what the masking up is all about ..to protect the one who is under that mask, but also his/hers loved ones, friends and the whole rest of the society and world .. when we all would mask up in public spaces until a better solution is found.
