Since the media no longer covers COVID, 99.9% of people assume it is no longer a concern. As a result, the nasal spray SA55 is unlikely to be launched, as there is no longer a significant market for it.
A nasal spray prevented 80% of Covid infections; ~300,000 people in China have received it.

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...
5 years after it appeared, things we know and still don't know about COVID
Five years after the virus that causes COVID emerged in China it still holds some mysteries.

Copernicus-ilmastopalvelu on vahvistanut vuoden 2024 olleen mittaushistorian lämpimin vuosi maailmanlaajuisesti.
Se oli myös ensimmäinen kalenterivuosi, jolloin maapallon keskilämpötila ylitti esiteollisen tason 1,5 asteella.

Judith Butler is 100% correct. The word "woke" is pure reactionary bullshit. Its contemporary meaning also distorts history by making it seem as if every positive cultural change of the past 200 years has happened naturally, without agitation by people considered, at the time, dangerously "woke."

Aikamme isoimpia kaasuvalotuksia on se, että jengi saatiin luulemaan tällaista tautia "vain flunssaksi".
Sairastin lokakuun puolivälissä koronan.
Pari päivää leikin jo melkein tervettä. Vähän tuli kuitenkin liikaa rasitusta, pitkä juoksu maanantaina ja eilen vähemmän kevennetty sali. Viime yönä HRV taas alle 40, leposyke huitelee, valvomista pari tuntia.
On tässä yli 13 kk mennyt. Jatketaan sitten.
