Domani: Cosa succede nel settore vinicolo: alla radice di una policrisi

Nel 2025 il consumo di vino ha toccato il livello più basso dal 1957: pesano la pandemia di Covid, le tensioni internazionali e una cultura che guarda agli alcolici con comprensibile sospetto. Ma la contrazione non è uniforme e rappresenta la somma di fenomeni anche molto diversi tra loro

What’s happening in the wine sector: at the root of a multi-crisis

In 2025, wine consumption reached the lowest level since 1957: the pandemic of Covid, international tensions, and a culture that views alcoholic beverages with understandable suspicion weigh heavily. However, the contraction is not uniform and represents the sum of phenomena that are very different from each other.

"Michael Hoerger estimates that approximately 1 in 95 Americans was actively infectious with COVID using CDC data from 8/22/26 and Biobot data. Many places in the U.S. have much higher levels of COVID in wastewater. Hoerger introduced a new Interactive US map on the PMC COVID-19 Dashboard which shows COVID risks for each county in the United States. For example, 1 in every 33 people is currently infected with COVID in Santa Clara county, California"

Auch wenn die #COVID -Prävalenz in Deutschland _deutlich_ unter den Vorjahren liegt, wollte ich mich auch diesen Herbst wieder impfen lassen.

Weiß jemand, ob eine neue #Impfung in Vorbereitung ist, und wann die erhältlich ist?

Und sind derzeit irgendwelche neuen Varianten unterwegs von denen man was wissen sollte?

Pretty sure I have / had COVID-26 Edition™ since Tuesday, when symptoms first started.

I feel as rough as a badger's arse. 😵‍💫

Update: family member went to a pharmacy in DC yesterday evening to pick up some #covid tests and they were sold out.

The BC post should return next week, assuming the province publishes the data they say they are going to.

Today: Perché il vaccino a mRna è una nuova svolta per l’oncologia (e quali sfide restano da superare)

I vaccini a mRna si sono fatti conoscere dal grande pubblico appena cinque anni fa, dando un contributo cruciale per traghettarci fuori dalla pandemia di covid. E ora sembrano già pronti a fare il loro ingresso trionfale anche nel mondo dell’oncologia. Il nome della terapia in questo caso è...

Why is the mRNA vaccine a new breakthrough for oncology (and what challenges remain to be overcome)?

mRNA vaccines gained public attention just five years ago, playing a crucial role in guiding us out of the Covid pandemic. And now they seem ready to make their triumphant entrance into the oncology world as well…

Hmm. That's disappointing. I went to the #CVS site to schedule our fall #vaccines, and I can only schedule #flu shots. They don't have last year's #COVID shots anymore. Given what we know about #ACIP, I'm highly suspicious of this message. "We are expecting an updated COVID vaccine for the 2026–2027 season to be approved in the coming days. Appointments will be available for the updated vaccine as soon as it is approved. Please check back soon." Right. 1/2

Not so fast...

Turns out the COVID booster is not yet available and our (very kind) pharmacist doesn't know when it will be.

"It's coming, we're just not sure when" he said. "Probably mid-September."

Since irony is dead, does wishing for RFK Jr to catch COVID make me a bad person?

I believe the doctors and researchers at the Long Covid/post infectious disease conference in Amsterdam should be wearing N95s.

They need to lead by example.

Demonstrate that COVID is not over and that repeat infections only increase your risk of disability.

Stop chains of transmission.

Greetings, these are the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots.

A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.

The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's 7 day running average climbed up some more from last week's numbers. The last 7DRA calculation was on 8/18. PS, it looks like the data for the ~ six week outage early this summer got backfilled for all three sites.

WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistica. If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at

My #dc #va #md people, what are you hearing on the grapevine about #covid in the community right now?

I have a sneaking suspicion, based on exactly 3.5 pieces of evidence, that there’s an observable wave happening right now, but it hasn’t quite broken through the collectively agreed social denial that Covid is still a thing.

Katelyn Jetelina (“your local epidemiologist”) and Edward Nirenberg have a summary of what vaccines will be available this fall in the US:

'Nieuw onderzoekscentrum long covid zoekt steun bij publieke en private investeerders'

"Er komt een nationaal Research & Innovation Center voor long covid en andere post-acute infectieuze syndromen (PAIS). De Stichting Long Covid heeft het initiatief genomen voor een
onafhankelijke stichting"

"De Stichting Long Covid heeft aan zeven wetenschappers financiering toegekend. Het gaat om Jeroen den Dunnen, Brent Appelman en Michele van Vugt van Amsterdam UMC, Rob Wüst van de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Niels Eijkelkamp van UMC Utrecht en Melvin Lafeber en Sandra Hoeboer van Erasmus MC. Immunoloog Jeroen den Dunnen is aangesteld als wetenschappelijk onderzoeksleider. De onderzoekers kunnen direct van start."

"Zodra onderzoek aanknopingspunten voor een mogelijke behandeling oplevert, wil het centrum deze zo snel mogelijk in klinische studies verder onderzoeken.

De stichting werkt nu aan de opbouw van het centrum en aan een fysieke basis. Het streven is om dit voor het einde van 2026 duidelijk te hebben."

Back on our household covid alert protocol:

Fan in front window pushing air through.

Masking and testing.

Spouse was in close masked proximity to a friend who later diagnosed on Saturday.

Friend is now sick and achy, they managed to get Paxlovid covered by their US private health insurance, we're not sure if friend's spouse is taking precautions.

This is friend's 4th time with covid.

How many times do people need to get covid?

Is repeatedly getting covid without consequence?

So I’ve been sick with covid since last week (first time, thank you), and one of the weirder things is that the only indication from Garmin that I'm sick is my stress level.

Resting Heart Rate, HRV, Respiration, and Pulse Ox are all “in range,” but every day is “stressful.”
