Mum of 2, physician. Mostly here to read and learn - special interest in COVID.

Still advocating for masks, clean air and the precautionary principle.

And on a more personal note - love knitting, baking and coffee, lots of coffee.

It's a lonely feeling when you feel like you've lost years to being in survival mode. Especially when it used to be a communal thing, before everyone decided to ignore facts and embrace constant sickness. Now you watch the normalcy farce on social media and feel empty.

*Children with long COVID* recovered *within 2 years* and *repeated infection made it worse*. Read that as many times as you need to. This is NOT a happy news story.

And 16 days later, Feb. 11/20, Dr. Ryan convinces Dr. Tedros G. to retract the truth that SARS2 is airborne, they share a laugh and the unrestrained worldwide massacre has never looked back. This, to me, is <the> turning point of this pandemic and has led directly to untold, ongoing devastation.

A few uncomfortable truths:

COVID is MORE “common” than the “common cold”

It circulates MORE than the flu, even during “flu season”

There’s no “COVID season” as COVID is present all year round

These are facts that ppl find hard to accept as it would mean they need to wear a mask in public spaces

This paper is interesting for a few reasons. It shows that mask mandates in healthcare protect patients from infections, and removing mask mandates in healthcare harms patients.

A facility without a mask mandate is making a *deliberate choice* known to harm patients.

Let’s say this loud and clear:

The thing with clinicians working with patients on “pacing” programs is they may turn into “pacing up” if you’re not disciplined about it. It shouldn’t turn into graded activity by another name. A clear understanding and expectation of the program is required for both the patient and the clinician.

The Central Error of the Pandemic…

Is that of running pandemic management by laissez-faire socioeconomic principles.

If you grasp this, all the other errors fall into place as the inevitable consequence of following that line of thought. 🧵 1/x

Great piece in the Irish Examiner about clean air in schools

Clean air in schools should NOT be controversial

It is affordable, easily achievable and benefits kids in many ways

And again, this should NOT be controversial

No paywall so please read and share

Na, mal wieder für eure #Schutzmaßnahmen eine "Angststörung" unterstellt bekommen? Zu meinem Job gehört es übrigens, diese zu diagnostizieren & zu behandeln. Ein wichtiges Merkmal: Die Reaktion kann als nicht dem Auslöser angemessen eingeordnet werden.

It’s time to spell it out loud and clear. “Endemic” is a racist, classist, ableist and ageist word that means some people are worth less than others. It is part of “the price one pays for progress” that the expendable must be thrown under the wheel. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
