COVID advocacy groups are doing an incredible job on extremely limited resources pushing back on potential changes to the CDC's COVID isolation guidelines.

But where are the labor unions? Forcing people back to work when they are sick is a critical labor issue.

This 2021 assessment in the New York Times of Oster's naive approach to comparing Covid in children to the flu didn't hold up great. Turns out: it is NOT like the flu (and a bunch of people with expertise medicine and infectious disease knew this the whole time). www.nytimes.com/2021/06/22/u...

JN.1 (Pirola) immune escape:

We now have antibody neutralization titers from Yunlong Cao, and JN.1 is very immune evasive, as we thought.

JN.1 cut the antibody effectiveness in half compared to the strong FLips and base Pirola.

A significant evolution here.

New York City has stopped reporting the latest data on how many New Yorkers have received COVID-19 vaccines, according to a notice posted on the health department’s website.
How many New Yorkers have gotten the latest COVID vaccine? No one knows.
New York City pharmacies are no longer sharing vaccine data with the citywide immunization registry, making it impossible to tell how many people are getting the new boosters.

According to the latest wastewater data, COVID is surging in the Northeast of the US again.
