We’re about two weeks away from when you’re likely going to be traveling for the holidays.
Now is a great time to get this year’s Covid booster and order an n95 mask to wear on the plane.
If you get sick, test for Covid and if it’s positive, stay home!

I know I reposted this earlier, but everyone really should read this. It's in plain English, unlike a lot of COVID-related stuff. And it spells out what this virus is doing to the human immune system.

SARS-CoV-2 Leaves a Lasting Mark on the Immune System
A landmark new study shows COVID-19 isn’t ‘just a cold’: One infection left people with long-lasting immune damage, and those with heart disease lost up to 70% of key immune cells. Reinfections may wo...

In the "All Patients" cohort, those Lymphocyte subsets have been recovering at a rate of around 3% per year, which predicts a return to the baseline after a further 3 years.

Was impressed that a local massage business had a Levoit air purifier in every room. Wore an N95 regardless. Forgot to bring my Aranet4.
Also a library's CO2 was at 700 ppm max for 5 hours. That's really good.

It’s rising to the north of Germany as well.
Our media says Covid is “holding steady in line with previous weeks”, but the wastewater graph shows an increase of 46% over the previous week — which is considered a “steep increase”.
Naturally no one is looking at said graph. 🤷

In Germany, #Covid is rising steeply. Based on wastewater analysis & hospitalisations, this statistician calculates an 'r' of 1.15 (= cases double every 20 days). One in 103 people now infected. No, there's of course nothing in the news, & all flu infections come on top of these numbers.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.
