#КОВИДинфо за сите да останеме што подолго здрави

(Планирав побрзо да го преведам, знам, ама подобро некогаш отколку никогаш)

Чувајте си го здравјето и со среќа 🍀

На англиски: covidtoolbox.com/wp-content/u...
Извадок од работната верзија на мојот превод на македонски на https://covidtoolbox.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/InFAQ-COVID-19-1_compressed.pdf За тоа како „живееме со КОВИД“ Смачено ли ви е да „живеете со КОВИД“? Мене, да. Си имаме работа со вирусов од почетокот на 2020 г., а нема ни да исчезне во догледно време. КОВИД можеше да го снема – но не го снема. Можевме одамна да го запреме – но се преправавме дека го снемало, со што придонесовме со сигурност да не го снема. Се преправавме дека вакцините се волшебното стапче што ќе ѝ стави крај на пандемијата. Се преправавме дека не треба да преземаме никакви мерки на претпазливост и дека можеме да одиме по ресторани, барови, полни концертни сали, да патуваме збиени како сардини на авиони и да ги испраќаме децата во преполни и непроветрени училници. Впрочем, кој сака да носи заштитна маска на лицето, да се тестира, да се... (продолжува) ...Што помагалата што ни се потребни за да се заштитиме беа исполитизирани или изигнорирани. Што сите наши жртви во периодот кога сè беше затворено поради КОВИД беа залудни, затоа што не воведовме неколку релативно евтини решенија што ќе нè заштитеа сите. Што околу 1000 луѓе во САД ќе умрат од КОВИД неделава – а сите тие смртни случаи ќе можеа да се спречат. Веројатно ме познавате како мајката што секогаш носи заштитна маска. Таа што постојано го проверува квалитетот на воздухот со рачен мерач на јаглероден диоксид. Таа со побелената коса што ѝ... (продолжува)

"The only tool we have to prevent the spread of COVID—to avoid infecting and sickening other people—is consistent masking. Which is frustrating. You could even call it unreasonable. You could call the situation unreasonable. You could call the situation our government has put us in unreasonable" 👇
"And the reality right now is that if you refuse to engage with the science- the science that shows that COVID is a virus that disables human beings, and that this virus is asymptomatic 44% of the time- then you are spreading a disabling virus, and you are harming people."

#македонскапоезија за 🇭🇷

Ја напишав при крај на август за еден другар, инспирирана од една негова разгледница на хрватски од Хрватска.

Кога гледам утрово, ја објавиле пред некој ден на Окно:

Што не заврши средно медицинско и медицина во Загреб, што не стана и ти лекар како татко ти? Криво ти е што не зборувате дома на хрватски? Што не порасна со Нугатино, со Ледо сладоледи, со детски емисии на радио на јазикот на мајка ти? Криво ли ти е што не растеше блиску до библиотека од која ќе читаше стотици детски книги на хрватски, наместо, веројатно, две-трите што уште ги чуваш? Купуваш ли и ти детски книги кога си во Хрватска? Јас мислев за децата ги купувам; секојпат, за нив, но кога им читам, им преведувам на македонски. Мислиш и ним ќе им биде како нам? Што мислиш?

"There is no such thing as a COVID infection without consequence"

So lemme do a thread of quotes:
"Although your immune system can take on [a COVID] infection, you want to avoid testing it as much as possible because your body is sustaining damage with each infection that it survives." - David Putrino, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai COVID infections can lead to long-term health effects in nearly every organ system in the body: Cardiovascular: acute coronary disease, heart failure, palpitations, arrhythmias Respiratory system: cough, shortness of breath, low blood oxygen Kidney: acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease Musculoskeletal: joint pain, muscle weakness General: malaise, fatigue, anemia Mental health: anxiety, depression, sleep problems, substance abuse Nervous system: stroke, headaches, memory problems, smell problems Metabolic/endocrine: obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol Gastrointestinal: constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux Skin disorders: hair loss, rash Coagulation disorders: blood clots (Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis)

So if you or someone in your family tests C-19 positive, here's how to prevent it from spreading to others in your household:

1. Isolate, turn on air purifiers, open windows, ventilate
2. Wear respirators in shared spaces
3. Gargle CPC mouthwash 3-4 times a day

h/t x.com/WicMar/statu...

Also... 🧵
Antivirals Paxlovid - within 5 days of testing positive via GP or Pharmacy (note: we can’t get in NZ under 65) Metformin (via GP) Home care – to start immediate when exposed/positive Reducing viral load (your family members can also do this) Mouthwash with CPC (Cetylpyridinium Chloride) gargle 3X per day Saline nasal rinse - 3X per day Enovid, 3X per day (up to 6 times/day can be taken) If no Enovid: Carrageenan Iodine nasal spray(FLO travel) 3 times daily or Vicks First Defence max 4 days/daily Air Air purifiers/HEPAs on Wear 3M Aura or similar respirators in all shared spaces Open windows/doors for ventilation (closed door to your space) Bathroom fans and windows open Tools Thermometer Pulse Oximeter Air Physio device or balloons (Blow a balloon slowly or lung exercise inhaler to keep lungs open/exercised) Covid-19 tests Cold bag for headaches Hand sanitiser Pain killers -for fever and inflammation Paracetamol Ibuprofen Baby aspirin (to prevent blood clots) – check with DR from: https://x.com/WicMar/status/1756182829606883738 Melatonin(sleep can get crappy!) Difflam lozenges Harkers deep lung support – for cough and clearing of phlegm Betadine gargle – for sore throat Nasal decongestant Eye drops - Lumify Supplements Quercetin Zinc(take with food at not too late in the day) C-vitamin Omega 3 Magnesium K12 Bliss (throat health) Other good ones: Elderberry D-vitamin Armaforce(Andrographis & Olive leaf) Echinacea NAC (if bad cough) Probiotics Throat drops, Vicks or similar Propolis throat spray from https://x.com/WicMar/status/1756182829606883738 To do TAKE IT EASY Sit up with back support (don’t lie flat – even sleeping a little propped up helps) Move around a little daily Get some fresh air/sunshine outside Lots of rest and fluids Live slow, listen to nature. Try not to exert the brain by too much even by watching Netflix/looking at the computer. Audio books or similar is better. Or Kindle/eReader reading (increase size of text) Stay away from Twitter, reading all the stuff that can happen when you have Covid is not helpful. Have some lukewarm baths or showers. Will help clear sinuses. Test yourself from day 4-5 and onwards, 2 negative tests before exit from https://x.com/WicMar/status/1756182829606883738

Yep, but half of those infected don't even know they are

This is why my kids & I #weararespirator in all indoor public places

Test guests

But sometimes you run into old friends outdoors, when you're maskless & just bought a latte on your coffee break

Fingers crossed

#ProtectChildrenFromCovid
Infographic: 49% of COVID infections are asymptomatic, which means you may not know if you're actually sick. This is why it's important to take a multilayered approach (one or more of the following) to protect yourselves and others: - N95 and KN95 masks - HEPA air filtration - Good ventilation (CO2 <800 parts per million) - Up-to-date vaccinations - Rapid tests before gathering - Attention to wastewater levels of COVID-19 Yale School of Public Health Sources: The Lancet Regional Health, CDC

Here's a thought: Maybe because they keep being reinfected?
Bar chart by vaccine maker Moderna showing that the risk of developing Long COVID increases with the number of COVID-19 infections, rising from 10% with one infection. By one’s third COVID-19 infection, patients have a 40% chance of developing long-term symptoms, Moderna says citing research.

Triple masked is not better masked. What you want is a single respirator mask with a good seal. That's what protects you the best. Pls stop burying your heads in the sand and read more about what Covid can do to your health. We're all likely to get LC after a number of infections. #weararespirator 😷
A protective mask seals to your face like goggles. They work best with no gaps or leaks.

About the beets, I agree with the OP -- they are delicious in borscht, if you're into cooking or willing to try

(But I disagree with the OP about oysters, crab & shrimp. Eww to all of them -- and I'm damn sure I'm not trying snails either)
Borscht recipe ingredients from Soupchick.com: 1 tbsp olive oil 1 onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 large beets, peeled and grated 2 cups chopped green cabbage 2 carrots, peeled and chopped 2 potatoes, peeled and chopped 4 cups vegetable broth 1 tbsp tomato paste 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar 1 tsp dried dill Salt and pepper to taste Sour cream and chopped fresh dill for garnish

#AvoidCovid #AvoidLongCovid #weararespirator 😷
"Furthermore, while vaccines have been extremely effective in reducing death rates, those of us who have never stopped 'following the science' know that even mild COVID infections are dangerous. The phenomenon known as Long COVID poses a threat to even the healthiest individuals, with one of the largest studies finding that a quarter of young, fit Marines were impacted. At present, at least ten percent of infections are understood to result in Long COVID, which can manifest as neurological and bodily pain, cognitive and physical weakening, mast cell activation (i.e. significant new allergies), dysautonomia, and other symptoms consistent with complex chronic illness. COVID’s 'silent' impacts, which can occur independently of Long COVID symptoms, include organ damage, cognitive decline, and higher vulnerability to heart attacks and strokes. Reinfections 'stack' cumulatively, increasing all of the above risks. And COVID-19 causes immune dysregulation, potentially challenging the body’s ability to respond to other infectious diseases." -- Excerpt from Violet Affleck's essay "A Chronically Ill Earth: COVID Organizing as a Model Climate Response in Los Angeles" published in the Yale Global Health Review on May 18, 2025.
