#CovidIsNotOver

73 posts63 participants8 posts today

Ich war gestern aus Gründen bei Penny. Ich gehe weiterhin sehr selten einkaufen.

Gestern erschrak ich, als eine Mitarbeiterin neben mir sagte "Haben wir noch Corona?"

Sie sprach ins Headset. Sie meinte Bier im Lager. Offenbar ist Corona gerade im Angebot.

Aber eine lange Schrecksekunde dachte ich, einen weiteren Laden gefunden zu haben, in den ich nicht mehr gehe.

Grüße an Euch #CovidCautious Hearties!

Indoor CO2 map app!

“As of Today the indoorco2map.com App is out of beta and available as regular Version in the Android and Apple app store. This is a big milestone, yet only still the beginning of a long road ahead to put indoor air quality both figuratively and literally on the map. Thanks a lot to all testers!”

Sorry, a link to Bluesky, but too important not to share

Continued thread

#COVID #flu and #RSV cases, hospitalizations and deaths all continue to decline in #NYC! 52 dead from #COVID19 between March 30 and April 28.

I'm out of Outbreak mode, so I'm singing karaoke, eating indoors and keeping my eye out for a summer wave.

#CovidIsNotOver and as long as people are being hospitalized for it I'll continue to #WearAMask in crowded places like elevators, trains and buses, and #MaskUp where there are vulnerable people, like doctors' offices, pharmacies and supermarkets!

www.linkedin.comSpouses’ Individual and Shared Cumulative Risk: Implications for… | Sean MullenNew study first-authored by my colleague, Dr. Mejia, highlights why we must think beyond the individual when it comes to health—and why that’s especially urgent in the age of COVID. Hot off the press at American Journal of Preventive Medicine, the study followed nearly 4,000 older adult couples over 8 years, using biomarker data to track frailty, cardiometabolic, and total biological risk. What they found was striking: Shared risk—when both spouses had elevated health indicators—predicted disability and death more powerfully than individual risk alone. Even after adjusting for demographics and shared behaviors (like smoking, physical activity, and sleep), the cumulative biological strain on both partners emerged as a distinct and potent risk factor. In other words: the body keeps the score, but so does the relationship. This isn’t just about aging. It’s a model for understanding chronic illness in shared environments. Now think about airborne disease. Think about COVID. What happens when both partners are repeatedly exposed to a virus that invades the brain, heart, and immune system? What happens when one develops Long COVID? Or when both do—but with different symptoms and timelines? What about the additional stress of caregiving, sleep disruption, and lost routines? We don’t just share air—we share biological burden. This study signals the need to rethink prevention, intervention, and recovery—not just for aging adults, but for any systemic illness shaped by a shared context. If you need a refresher—or if your doctor still thinks COVID is "just a respiratory virus"—here’s a one-page fact sheet with peer-reviewed citations on how SARS-CoV-2 causes multi-organ damage and remains a threat: https://lnkd.in/gvhag6zp Let’s stop pretending the pandemic didn’t happen—or that it’s over. Let’s start designing care that reflects how health is built, and sometimes broken, together. That redesign must start in our public schools, institutions of “higher learning” and our so-called “healthcare facilities.” Faculty share air with colleagues and students. Students share dorm rooms and apartments. Doctors share air with sick patients, who share it with other vulnerable patients. The spread of airborne pathogens must be reconsidered at a massive scale. Brick by brick. We already have the tools to end volumes of chronic illness—by cleaning the air in shared spaces. It makes sense medically. Economically. Ethically. And yet, we continue to sit in poorly ventilated rooms while everyone coughs, sneezes, and exhales not just viruses but carbon dioxide levels that impair cognition and productivity when they rise above 800ppm. But we do nothing.

3 new listings today in a recently added category in the Air Salon resource directory: chronic illness support. It's geared to my fellow covid long haulers but many of the listings would be relevant for other spoonies too.

Services that make masked house calls and deliveries, low energy yoga, specialist clinics, patient support groups... As always, send in your tips if something is missing.
