Excellent article by @nicktsergas about Covid and immunity debt. He interviews many doctors and leading experts to explore whether repeat Covid infections are destroying our immune system.

We must keep reminding people that sarscov2 is a novel virus. It’s only been 5.5 years which is nothing in the lifespan of a brand new disease. We can’t possibly know its true long term implications, and we must have the humility to accept what we don’t know.

The rush “back to normal” and insistence that Covid is “mild” serves the ruling elite. It was shoved down our throat to keep end stage capitalism afloat, not because it was actually mild or over.

What can you do? Wear a mask. Ideally an N95 or better. Clean and ventilate the air. Donate and support local mask blocs. Stay home when you’re sick. Refuse to accept the narrative that anyone is expendable:

The medical establishment is resistant to change.

Semmelweis, who discovered the benefits of hand washing for infection control, was fired & put in an insane asylum.

Folks, doctors included, will deny reality as long as possible.

Maskers need to stand strong, the tides will shift eventually.

There are certain basic rights I believe all human beings deserve. Rights that should never be up for debate.

Healthcare

Safe and affordable housing

Universal Basic income

Clean air

Education

Freedom to love/marry who they want

We need to fight for these rights for all people, because we succeed or fail together. A society thrives on community and should be willing to protect ALL its members, not just the ones that are the same as you.

The Trump regime seeks to divide, alienate, confuse and sew hate.

We must not let them.

Love over hate. Community over fear. Let’s celebrate our differences instead of judging one another.

No one is safe until we’re all safe.

Perfect weather to check out the spacious patio at the newly opened Habesha #Ethiopian restaurant on 102 Ave. They’ve only been open 10 days, but looking like a great option for outdoor dining. Also literally right on the bike lane! #YEGbike (More tables presumably still to come over time) Highly recommend trying the bozena shiro - and the injera is fresh as clouds! #PatioSeason #CleanAir #CovidIsNotOver #YEGfood

Have you ever wondered what a CO2 sensor looks like inside? I've got you covered...
This is a SCD41 from the latest batch. The fab x-rays the boards to check for any solder defects under the sensor.

We went to see the Minecraft Movie at the movie theatre. About half the seats of the 170 seats total were occupied.

This was theatre No. 10 at the Cinecitta in Nuremberg.

We can have cleaner air. We just need to demand it in healthcare, education, and the workplace.

“SARS-CoV-2 airborne detection within different departments of a COVID-19 hospital building and evaluation of air cleaners in air viral load reduction”

"air cleaners using TiO2-UV light technology can reduce up to 98,1% of viral load in the air of a COVID patient room with confirmed positive airborne viral RNA"

Im Newsletter der Krankenkasse bzgl. Pollen: »Schließen Sie während des Autofahrens die Fenster und schalten Sie die Lüftung aus.«

Bitte nicht! Man erreicht in Autos innerhalb kurzer Zeit CO2-Werte, die zu einer deutlichen Beeinträchtigung der Konzentration führen. Und das ist ungesund, wenn man ein Stahlprojektil durch die Landschaft steuert!

Hier ein Beispiel: Zwei Stunden Autofahrt zu zweit mit eingeschalteter Lüftung und dann eine halbe Stunde auf die Fähre warten: Zack 1800 ppm

This preprint seems so good! [edit: pre-proof not pre-print, it has been peer reviewed and the data passed muster, but might have formatting, grammar, and spelling tweaks]

goals were: a) to detect viral load in indoor air in different areas and floors of a separate COVID building in a hospital [...], b) to evaluate the effect of an air-cleaner in the reduction of viral load in the presence of patients, and c) to examine the correlation between viral presence in the air and particle matter burden.

their methodology is making me happy!

Their system separated aerosols into > 2.5 μm, 1.0 to 2.5 μm, 0.5 to 1.0 μm, 0.25 to 0.50 μm, and < 0.25 μm, and found

SARS-CoV-2 was detected in all different fractions and the highest viral loads were detected at stages A (> 2.5 μm) and B (1 - 2.5 μm).

however this was in open-window conditions, ie. low CO2 and higher airflow; sampling with the same equipment in households, they found

the highest amount was detected in Stage 4 (0.25 - 0.5 μm)

The data is mostly PCR but they did do some sequencing, and positively confirmed the dominant variants were stable through the study, and not confounding.

Note the air cleaner was a "Airocide (APS GCS-25 model) air purifier" which uses "photocatalytic oxidation technology" as well as 254nm UV, with no HEPA or other mechanical filter.

Also, this is vindicating for those of us pleading with folks to not immediately de-mask in the hallway:

the highest concentration was detected in COVID clinic rooms displaying a high peak of 1123 copies/m3, whereas at the corridor area showed 481 copies/m3

Also highly of note, they could not detect any virus in the areas that were upstream of negative-pressure COVID-19 care. So yes, home isolation protocols that emphasize negative pressure zones absolutely are well founded!

Elon Musk's AI startup, xAI, faces scrutiny for operating 35 gas turbines at its Memphis facility, exceeding permitted levels. This raises serious concerns about air quality, as the estimated emissions could impact local health. Residents are frustrated with the lack of xAI engagement as the SELC pushes for action to uphold the Clean Air Act. Explore the full story for more insights.

Advocacy opportunity Pre-register to present directly to BC gov about YOUR priorities for the next provincial budget! Registration deadline April 11 at 2pm: https://www.leg.bc.ca/parliamentary-business/committees/annual-fgs-budget-consultation (Presenting can be done virtually; they’ll follow up in May about whether you’ve been selected. Additional written input options will open in June.)

Our last budget campaign resulted in several key commitments, including over $3 billion for COVID supports: https://donoharmbc.ca/bc-budget-2024-analysis/ But there’s still far more to be done - so if you want things like #CleanAir, #LongCovid care, or ongoing vaccine access including #Novavax, this is a great chance to speak directly to policy-makers!

Here in #DC to tell the fascist vandals of America, #HandsOff our #democracy, #RuleOfLaw, #CleanAir, #CleanWater, #CleanEnergy, #SocialSecurity, #HealthCare, #science, and #VulnerableCommunities.

Wisst Ihr was zu den Risiken der Sauna?

Ich finde nur Informationen Stand 2021.

Ich vermisse das, war aber nie ein Fan von 90 Grad (was wohl sicherer wäre), sondern von Dampfsauna und 60 Grad Saunen.

Anwesend wäre nur ich, aber wer vorher da war, kann ich nicht sagen. Außerhalb trüge ich weiter Maske.

Gott, ich vermisse diese kurzen Zeiten der Entspannung.
