#CovidIsNotOver

1 post1 participant0 posts today

I facilitated an online workshop for @freetechproject tonight and it's the first time we tackled technology to fight #Covid (Co2 monitors, air purifiers, #HEPA, #CorsiRosenthal boxes, #NukitTempest, etc) as well as why this is important (what Covid is, how it spreads, etc) and the small (predominantly older) group was very open to the ideas, sincerely inquisitive about the topic, interested in reducing risk, aware of inclusion issues, and sensitive to my own experiences as carer for a partner disabled by Covid. I'm also realising that people genuinely refer to "Covid" in the past tense sometimes because they wrongly associate it with government policy, while at the same time they very clearly understand that #CovidIsNotOver. My point is, keep tackling the topic, and keep giving folks the benefit of the doubt -- humans are of course good at heart and state policies, and of course the establishment media, may very well indeed not, in fact, reflect people's actual concerns about Covid.

Hi!

I’m jdm2. I’ve been around for a while. Recently created the boriken.social Mastodon instance to facilitate the migration to the fediverse of the Puerto Rican online community.

I’m a software developer by trade, I collect books, listen to a bunch of music, love basketball and I’m very vocal about local and international politics.

And I’m covid conscious!

A FLuQE wavelet opened September, becoming MC wave into November. December saw both FLiRT clans and JN.1.11 vie for dominance, only for JN.1 FLiRT to win out.

Although #CDC did update metadata today, data remains unchanged from two weeks ago.

At that time, FLiRT KS.1.1 / FLuQE KP.3.3 hybrid XEC family—never having reached majority—was being pressed by FLiRT LP.8.1.

New GISAID data from Raj.

Oh, me?

Just sitting here, wondering how much GISAID data for the U.S. there will be from late January forward. (Raj's dashboard last shows data through the 17th.)

Aware that #CDC long ago would have preferred to stop publishing #covid variants estimates, am expecting to not see same updated this Friday.

They stopped publishing all other related data long before now, and still weren't publishing anything useful wrt #BirdFlu, as of close of last administration.

So now we wait to see how much compliance in advance impacts academic researchers submitting data to a global non-profit. (Let alone how much of U.S. GISAID data may be typically provided by gov't researchers.)

Yes, GISAID was founded in opposition to WHO's proprietary data practices. But also, GISAID's public domain ethos is close enough in spirit to F/OSS that it might just as readily be a target of isolationist fervor.

So, it's wait in see.

"This study's findings underscore the urgent need for treatments," Pollack said.

"ME/CFS can be caused by multiple triggers in addition to SARS-CoV-2, and it has been among the least funded illnesses for research, despite its severity."

More quotes:

"… some participants may have had undiagnosed ME/CFS before having COVID-19, which could be a limitation of the work. The questionnaire-based nature of the study presented another limitation, because participants may have struggled to remember whether their symptoms started before or after they had COVID-19.

Despite these limitations, the findings do suggest that COVID-19 raises the risk of ME/CFS."

"1 in 22 COVID survivors develop debilitating chronic syndrome"

"A study suggests that catching COVID-19 significantly raises the risk of developing ME/CFS…a typically lifelong condition that can be debilitating"

"By my rough calculations it is possible that over 7 million Americans may have developed ME/CFS following COVID"

Updated GISAID data entering January has FluQE31 KP.3.1.1 / MC and children down to just over a third of all sequences.

FLiRT KS.1.1 / FLuQE KP.3.3 hybrid XEC now approaching two fifths.

JN.1 FLiRT descendant LF.7 is diversifying, while KP.1.1.3 / LP scion LP.8.1, and recombinant XEL—child of JN.1 and FLiRT KS.1.1.2—both stand out.

After skipping update two weeks prior, #CDC broke out XEC.4, as FLiRT KS.1.1 / FLuQE KP.3.3 hybrid XEC family—never having reached majority—being pressed by FLiRT LP.8.1.

New dashboard from Raj givs us more recent GISAID data.

NCHS estimates of #LongCovid—based on Household Pulse Survey.

Have been holding off refreshing this thread, as Census was due to relaunch HPS as HTOPS in January:

Word of a moratorium on government communications, makes this seem unlikely:

Nonetheless HPS reporting was suspended, despite ongoing data collection, in October of the prior administration.

La bonne idée que de refaire son #introduction entre les nouvelleaux et les gens se mettent à me suivre parce que je shitpost sur la CAF

Je suis Zeph, je suis l'humain de Joy qui est mon compagnon depuis toujours (2021). Il aime les brocolis et prendre toute la place sur le lit. (et moi, il m'aime beaucoup, il chante quand je reviens à la maison)
J'écris des nouvelles, des novellas ; j'ai arrêté d'écrire des romans parce que c'est difficile avec ma façon de fonctionner et ma santé

J'aime bidouiller les choses avec mes mains, mais je sais pas toujours les remonter, alors je fais des bijoux avec des vieux trucs à la place de me lancer dans l'informatique
Je brode, je couds, je fais des colliers en chaine de bricolage des fois

J'aime beaucoup les corvidés (ici un corbeau freux), même les geais, et les oiseaux de façon générale. Le violet est ma couleur préférée, comme la lathrée clandestine, ma plante préférée.

Je parle beaucoup de handicap et de folie (vous pouvez notamment aller lire les trois articles sur la série Takin over the Asylum : zephdangles.wordpress.com/2024 ), des fois de covid (parce que c'est pas terminé et vous n'avez encore rien vu) parce que je bénévole chez @arra et vous pouvez retrouver une partie des trucs que j'y fais là :
