Too many catching Covid-19 in hospital, experts say - but precautions being rolled back https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/what-you-need-to-know/545120/too-many-catching-covid-19-in-hospital-experts-say-but-precautions-being-rolled-back
RNZ · Too many catching Covid-19 in hospital, experts say - but precautions being rolled back
C'est quand même marrant toute cette célébration mémorielle des "cinq ans du covid" qui consiste essentiellement à faire le concours du plus grand déni de ce qui s'est passé et continue à se passer
This is why respirators need to be mandatory in hospitals.
Babies, people with certain disabilities & some health conditions need others to mask to protect them.
This hospital shouldn’t be “scrambling”. Make masks mandatory & protect patients and staff.
Clean & ventilate the air too!

Last night I went to an event at the venue where my local Queer Club takes place. I took CO2 readings with my #Aranet, did some estimates of the room volume, and measured the flow rate of the filter box they have there.
In terms of raw CO2 numbers (which ignore air filtration) and Air Changes Per Hour (which ignore room occupancy) the numbers were pretty dismal.
But I got enough data to try modelling the room using co2room, a Python script I wrote.
I worked out the natural ventilation rate of the building by tweaking until the resultant curve fit the readings from the Aranet.
At 40 people last night, the "effective CO2 rate" (i.e. the CO2 readings you'd get if you were ventilating rather than filtering) topped out around 1000ppm, which is above my risk threshold.
However, at my Queer Club event which has only about 20 people, even though it runs for longer it tops out at about 500ppm.
If you are 65+ and/or moderately to severely immunocompromised, CDC still recommends you get a second dose of the 2024-5 Covid booster 6 months after your first. That means we're coming up on the time for your "spring booster" if you got a booster in the fall.
Thought I'd throw that out there because Sideshow Bob will obviously make no effort to promote these life saving recommendations.

This #LongCovidAwarenessDay I’m reflecting on how many people have been let down by governments, public health & medical establishments
How Covid has been downplayed, airborne spread ignored & vaxx and relax strategies pushed for the sake of capitalism
How many have Long Covid because of this?
Those of us who were disabled before the pandemic could see this wave of chronic illness coming - and many of us have been screaming from the top of our lungs the last 5 years.
Begging people not to take their health for granted & to wear a mask and protect themselves.
Warning them that there are no do-overs once you become chronically ill. Unfortunately very few people are listening - and many won’t understand the true devastation of #LongCovid until it directly impacts them. At which point it’ll be too late.
Despite seeing these waves of disability as an inevitable consequence of “let er rip” Covid strategy - one thing I did not see coming was how many people would willingly embrace not only ableism - but full on eugenics.
People in my own life who were previously kind & supportive have become cruel and angry. The masks have been ripped off. They don’t hesitate to tell me that they blame me for the restrictions placed on them in the early days of Covid.
That they will never again allow their freedoms to be infringed on in the name of protecting the vulnerable. One even went as far as to say “you’ve been sick for years - just die already.”
People who say these things don’t understand what disabled ppl understand all too well - your health is not a permanent state.
Everyone will become disabled eventually - some earlier than others. Many who think they’re invulnerable are already vulnerable and don’t even know it
Yet rather than adapting behaviour and pushing for a new normal that makes the world safe for everyone - most temporarily abled people have instead doubled down on hateful eugenics talking points and want us to stay home forever (or worse - die). It needs to stop.
Covid is airborne and we all share the air. “You do you” individualism is quite literally killing people. We need to start caring about the air we share as this will lead to a healthier society for everyone.
Until then we need to mask up. It’s easy, incredibly effective & it might save someone’s life. At the very least you will know you didn’t contribute to another person’s suffering - and you will be drastically reducing your own odds of getting Long Covid. It’s worth it.

Today is international #LongCovid Awareness Day
Check this canadian interview with a Mount Sinai (NY) chronic disease specialist. Up to one in five people with COVID-19 develop LONG COVID, meaning three months after having the disease they still do not recover their full abilities.
The specialist affirms that each reinfection, even moderate, of COVID-19 subtracts between 2-6% of IQ.
LONG COVID is a disease that causes systemic damage, especially to the immune system, causing T-cell exhaustion and triggering latent diseases or exposing the body to new pathogens from which it would have been able to defend itself before. Worth a listen:

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.

The Sick Times - Chronicling the Long Covid crisis · Live blog: International demonstrations ignite for Long COVID Awareness Day - The Sick TimesDemonstrations for International Long COVID Awareness Day have sparked around the globe. Whether raising awareness about the disease in public or from their homes, people with Long COVID and their allies have raised their voices to demand recognition, research, treatments, support, and prevention of COVID-19 during the ongoing pandemic, as many in the community observe
It’s another #COVID anniversary, which means various people are sincerely asking whether “we” are “prepared” for the “next” pandemic.
(You’re not really dealing with the existing pandemic, so I’m going to say no.) #COVIDIsNotOver
Bonne nouvelle covid :
- Un collectif locale organise son prochain atelier en autodéfense sanitaire, avec un paragraphe explicatif plutot chouette sur pourquoi et comment. Distribution de masques incluse
- Mon kiné, après que je lui ai demandé de porter un masque pendant nos 2 premières sessions, avait un masque a la 3e dès mon entrée
