Sure, Jan. No one cares until postviral conditions affect them. That's literally our point in suggesting a few protections might be somewhat helpful actually.

Do you think there is a connection between this enormous cover-up of the ongoing damage from Covid and eugenicists taking over our healthcare system? Are they in a hurry to kill off a lot of us before enough of us catch on to what has been done in the name of saving capitalism?

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

Brevetoxins are potent neurotoxins produced by certain algae and cause significant health problems (“red tide” is one form). Even if you don’t care about marine life, you can get sick and even die just from breathing air near a shoreline w/ brevetoxin-producing algae. Climate change will kill us all
Harmful algal bloom (HAB) spread across 20,000 km2 & resulted in the deaths of millions of marine animals, from at least 550 species

I’ve used WA Health’s COVID-19 wastewater surveillance page to estimate the number of infections of BA.3.2.
I estimate ~300 BA.3.2.* infections in Perth for the latest week, and ~6,000 across the 12 weeks since BA.3.2.* was first detected.
