Summer Covid cases are rising across the U.S. — Is it time for a vaccine?
The uptick in cases, caused by a variant of the virus nicknamed "razor blade throat," comes as many Americans have likely gone a year or longer without Covid shots. ["razor blade throat" is circled in red]

good morning i'm working my way through this
so far the tl;dr seems to be:
it's safest to wear an n95 *at all times* in a hospital.
surgical masks and 'sometimes' n95 use were not anywhere near as protective.

some things to consider...
- traffic deaths have risen dramatically since the start of covid
- active covid infection = 25% increased risk of crashing your car
- asymptomatic rate: 40% or higher
- traffic deaths have risen dramatically since the start of covid
- active covid infection = 25% increased risk of crashing your car
- asymptomatic rate: 40% or higher
![highlighted line: "car crashes are associated with increased COVID-19 rates acutely"
full paragraph:
Previous studies utilizing similar Poisson regression has demonstrated a connection between the number of accumulated COVID-19 cases and an increase in road fatalities, but not simultaneously and in a temporally associated manner [73]. Our analysis extends these findings by establishing a temporal link, showing that car crashes are associated with increased COVID-19 rates acutely. Furthermore, we found that this increase in crashes is independent of Long COVID rates, focusing on acute infections as the primary driver. Interestingly, vaccination does not appear to confer a protective effect against crash risk, contradicting prior studies associating vaccine hesitancy with elevated crash risk [39]. States with extended mask mandates, like Connecticut, experienced prolonged periods of reduced traffic crash rates, whereas our inability to establish statistical significance in Iowa and Washington likely stems from data reporting issues and differences in pandemic-related behavioral changes, such as work-from-home arrangements in Washington and a lack of mitigation efforts in Iowa.

Working days lost to respiratory illness soar since pandemic
The figure rose from 6m in 2020 to 16m in 2022, according to the Office for National Statistics. Charities blame poor care and air quality
Poppy Koronka, Health Correspondent
Thursday April 03 2025, 10.00pm BST, The Times
The number of working days lost due to respiratory illness has soared by nearly ten million since the pandemic as charities blamed poor care and air quality.
Data published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed an increase of nearly ten million days per year lost between 2020 and 2022.
Separate government data shows that respiratory system illnesses were the largest cause of short-term absence in the civil service in 2024, accounting for 24.1 per cent of average working days lost.
Charity bosses say respiratory care in the UK has been “neglected” for decades, and that the rise comes as “no surprise”.
Jonathan Blades, head of policy at Asthma + Lung UK, said: “At the heart of the issue is poor care, which is leading to worsening health and a spiral of repeat emergency visits to hospital.”
The ONS data, published in March in response to a House of Lords question, showed that 8.7 per cent of working days lost to illness were due to respiratory conditions in 2022 — up by two percentage points since 2021.
The number of work days lost to respiratory illness jumped by more than six million between 2021 and 2022.
A recent survey by Asthma + Lung UK showed that only one in four respondents with asthma had access to basic care, which includes an annual review, a written asthma action plan and an inhaler check.
Sarah Jones has suffered from asthma since she was 16, but after contracting pneumonia two years ago, it has been “completely out of control”.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hfeuflhvquwf3zxpobuoobxr/bafkreid4dtcvjznsnt6hvvjjffulp7zmwkwuafd7vkdxr3pani3fkkujra@jpeg)

i actually WAS awake between 4 and 5 but i stayed in bed, so that's why it rose back up a little.
what i don't have an explanation for is this weird half hour cycle.
just a result of the way it measures co2?
do i release carbon dioxide differently over the course of an hour while i'm asleep?
