My #covidcautious hearties

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.

✊😷

Why are you sick all the time? Covid:

"a positive test for COVID-19 is associated with increased rates of diagnosis of various non–SARS-CoV-2 infections in the 12 months following an acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, even if the initial infection is mild to moderate."

And the winner of #MarchMaskness 2025 is… the 3M Aura/Trifold N95/FFP2 with headstraps! Your votes determined that the 3M Aura is the greatest respirator of all! 🎉

The 3M Aura ticks the boxes in function, filtration, fit, and fashion. It’s generally easy to find in smaller and larger sizes, with rubber straps (1870+, 9205+) or braided elastic straps (9210+), with or without valves/vents. It’s comfortable, versatile, and a fine introductory respirator for anyone starting their search for the best respirator for themselves.

In general, the trifold respirator offers good coverage while keeping a low profile. Measurements and features can vary among brands and models, so if the 3M Aura winds up letting you down, you have some solid runners-up to choose from within this category.

Go forth and wear your champion respie with pride!

Covid-Safe Scouts know — the actual best respirator is the one that fits securely and comfortably on your face and has a high filtration rating.

🔗 Spike Protein–Fibrinogen Interaction: A Novel Immune Evasion Strategy of SARS-CoV-2? pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acspt

The host protein fibrinogen has been found to interact with the N-terminal domain (NTD) of the spike protein in SARS-CoV-2. However, the evolutionary benefit of this binding to the virus still remains unclear. Herein, we put forward with rationale and supporting evidence that the binding of fibrinogen to its more conserved NTD is an immune evasion strategy adopted by the virus to outsmart the NTD targeted neutralizing antibodies.

Yup, looks like we really are having a Spring #COVID wave in #NYC!

At least #COVID19 hospitalizations are still well below 6 per lakh per day. If they don't rise much further, and flu and RSV cases continue to drop, the total hospitalizations should stay under 6 per day, which is my threshold for going into Outbreak Mode.

#CovidIsNotOver and #COVIDisAirborne so I still #WearAMask in crowded places like elevators, trains and buses. #MaskUp in doctors' offices, pharmacies and grocery stores!

People who left masks behind years ago or who never did mask have no clue how painful the Social isolation is for those who wear masks. the entire burden has been put on folx who often are also dealing with health issues and/or disability.

progressive folx who talk a big game about justice- it’s wrong to plan events without including covid competent people in planning.

Why unmask today?
Well, for lots of personal reasons, i have to loosen my precautions from the very strict protocols I’ve been following.
I’m still negotiating what the new way forward will be- I’m certainly not going to the other extreme of denial that most people have embraced.
#CovidIsNotOver

Cases of Covid are as low as they are going to be here right now ( if past years are a prediction of future spikes and troughs) so I met a friend inside at a (well ventilated) coffee shop and unmasked for the first time in 5 years

It was super scary
It felt both vulnerable and empowered to have my face out.
I’m delighted and heartbroken about how different it was. How much more engaging the conversation was.

Das #Corona-Abwassermonitoring liegt auf dem niedrigsten Wert seit Messbeginn: infektionsradar.gesund.bund.de

Laut @RV_enigma (drüben bei Bluesky) ist das eine übersetzte Inzidenz von 92 (Infizierten pro 100.000 pro Woche): bsky.app/profile/rv-enigma.bsk

Nur mal so als Info reingeschmissen für all jene, die ihr Verhalten danach ausrichten. 🤓

Bei der Kardiologin. Habe gehört, das gehört sich so mit dem #wazifubo -Bild.

Erst jetzt, wo die hier so lieb sind und alles erklären, wird mir klar, wie unfreundlich die in der Praxis meiner sonstigen Ärztin sind 🤔 Ist wohl gar nicht normal, dauernd angeblafft zu werden und keine Informationen zu bekommen.

Die Ärztin trägt selbst #Maske und ist auch über die verbreitete Verdrängung unzufrieden. Bisher scheint aber mein Herz in Ordnung. Mal sehen, wo diese #Fatigue herkommt.

The evidence for altered brain function after (repeated) Covid keeps stacking up in the medical literature.

But is it influencing people's behavior towards more risk taking?

I am not sure. People panic about safety issues other than Covid?

It seems that Covid is systematically suppressed for a reason I do not yet understand.
