    In Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 researchers looked at flu A, flu B, RSV, and SARS2:

    During the combined pandemic period (March 2020–February 2025), only SARS-CoV-2 activity predicted mortality

    But maybe it predicted it weakly! How many actual deaths were due to SARS2 or sequelae to SARS2? MORE THAN 1 IN 16:

    During the combined pandemic period (March 2020–February 2025), SARS-CoV-2 accounted for 6.48% (4.5–8.4%) of all-cause mortality

    And no amount of "it'll become seasonal" is going to help:

    SARS-CoV-2 attributable-fraction estimates were stable across modelling specifications (6.48% with versus 8.03% without seasonal adjustment),

    and the authors point out that

    Mortality captures only part of the societal burden of these pathogens; morbidity, quality-of-life loss, and economic costs

    are large and important.

      Greetings, here are the weekly (that is, and environs) toots.

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

      The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's SARS-CoV2 seven-day running average numbers went down a fair amount, but are still elevated. The last seven day running average calculation was done on 10/27.

      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 @WADeptHealth

            I spent all day yesterday anxious. We had our lefty book club and in between this meeting and last meeting I've been doing some advocacy, trying to get people to mask and informing about the dangers of covid. I felt like nobody was hearing me and I felt invisible. Last night, SIX PEOPLE showed up in respirators. They said they felt inspired by what my wife and I had been sharing and it encouraged them to mask. We ended up having a 15 minute discussion about covid, disability justice, community care and covids impacts on us all. People received it well for the most part and want to have more discussions at the next book clubs. I got to share a bunch of resources and scientific articles in our group chat. I feel hope!

                      Il Fatto Quotidiano: “Io e mio marito ci siamo sposati durante il Covid anche perché se no quando mi sposavo? Al geriatrico? La differenza di età (26 anni) ce la fanno notare gli altri, noi ci scherziamo”: così Fiorella Mannoia

                      Coach a “The Voice Senior”, impegnata attualmente nei teatri italiani con la tranche invernale di Anime Salve, il progetto dedicato a De Andrè e Fossati, mentre il 27 novembre uscirà proprio il disco tratto da quest’ultimo progetto discografico.
                      È un periodo di lavoro intenso per Fiorella Mannoia, che ha sempre messo la musica la primo posto nella sua vita, anche prima del matrimonio con Carlo Di Francesco, musicista e produttore discografico, sposato dopo 20 anni di relazione.
                      “Sono molto pigra, è il mio grande difetto. Il palco è la mia vita, faccio 120 date l’anno, – ha detto l’artista a Il Corriere della Sera – però per il resto del tempo me ne sto a casa sul divano: non vedo quasi mai nessuno. Per cui l’idea di organizzare il matrimonio, chi devi invitare, chi si offende, i regali… È una cosa che non rientra proprio nella mia mentalità”.
                      E così la decisione di organizzare tutto durante il Covid: “In quel periodo ci siamo detti che eravamo giustificati a invitare poche persone: facciamolo ora, sposiamoci perché sono 20 anni che stiamo insieme. Anche perché se no quando mi sposo? Al geriatrico?”.
                      Poi la confessione: “In realtà non avevo mai pensato al matrimonio: se stai con una persona, ci stai e basta”.
                      L'articolo “Io e mio marito ci siamo sposati durante il Covid anche perché se no quando mi sposavo? Al geriatrico? La differenza di età (26 anni) ce la fanno notare gli altri, noi ci scherziamo”: così Fiorella Mannoia proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano.

                      “My husband and I got married during the COVID pandemic as well because otherwise when would I get married? At the geriatric center? Others notice our age difference (26 years), but we joke about it”: so Fiorella Mannoia.

                      As a coach on “The Voice Senior,” Fiorella Mannoia is currently performing with the winter season of *Anime Salve* (Souls Alive), the project dedicated to De Andrè and Fossati, while the album from that project will be released on November 27th.

                      It’s an intense period for Fiorella Mannoia, who has always placed music first in her life, even before her marriage to Carlo Di Francesco, a musician and record producer, after 20 years of a relationship.

                      “I am very lazy; it's my biggest flaw,” the artist told *Il Corriere della Sera – “The stage is my life; I do 120 dates a year – but for the rest of the time I’m at home on the sofa: I rarely see anyone. So the idea of organizing the wedding, who you have to invite, who gets offended, the gifts… It's something that doesn't fit into my mindset.”

                      And so the decision was made to organize everything during Covid: “During that period we said we were justified in inviting a few people; let’s do it now, let’s get married because we’ve been together for 20 years. Also because if not when am I getting married? At the geriatric ward?”

                      Then came the confession: “Actually, I had never really thought about getting married: if you're with a person, you are and that’s it.”

                      The article “Me and my husband got married during Covid also because if not when was I supposed to get married? At the geriatric ward? The age difference (26 years) is noticed by others, we joke about it” is from *Il Fatto Quotidiano*.

                            My rheum shrugged away the question, but my kidney doc's answer blew my mind: "It's because you had long covid when you first came in. Your lupus is a manifestation of long covid, and you have symptoms for both."

                              There is now a working definition of long Covid, and my 2 year gap no longer matters. And this is what blew my mind: lupus is listed as a way that long Covid can manifest!

                              It’s not proof of cause, but my doctor thinks lupus is how my immune system responded to long Covid. This doesn’t change any treatment protocols, but it deeply informs why I can’t take more than 3000 steps a day without ending up with a fever and throwing up!

                              Mind is blown.

La sua posizione è simile a quella del presidente della Repubblica Sergio Mattarella che proprio mercoledì ha detto che si deve “contrastare chi avvelena l’opinione sui vaccini”. Schillaci dovrà dare un parere al Senato quando arriverà l’emendamento di Forza Italia.
                                        Gli azzurri infatti in queste ore hanno annunciato modifiche nel secondo passaggio a Palazzo Madama: “La norma non ci convince e non può restare così com’è”, ha detto la capogruppo al Senato Stefania Craxi. La vicepresidente del Senato Licia Ronzulli ha rincarato la dose: “Si manda un messaggio sbagliato, a chi si è vaccinato e a chi no. Dal Covid siamo usciti grazie alla scienza e ai vaccini”.
                                        L'articolo “Vaccini? Io sono uno che crede nella scienza”: Schillaci sconfessa la maggioranza sul reintegro dei medici no vax proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano.

                                        "Vaccines? I'm someone who believes in science": Schillaci reverses the majority on the reinstatement of anti-vaccine doctors.

                                        I am someone who believes in science. Pause. I believe in science and therefore also in vaccines. Health Minister Orazio Schillaci, arriving at the Senate for question time, speaking with *Il Fatto*, defeats the government majority that on Wednesday in the Chamber of Deputies voted to reinstate no-vax doctors into the delegation law on healthcare professions. Text passed with a margin of 13 votes at Montecitorio, which provoked a clash within the majority: Forza Italia has announced that it will modify the text at the Senate.

                                        Now Schillaci, former rector of the University of Rome Tre appointed as Health Minister in the ranks of Brothers of Italy, is speaking as a physician and university professor. His position is similar to that of President Sergio Mattarella who on Wednesday said that one must “counter those who poison opinion about vaccines.” Schillaci will have to give an opinion to the Senate when Forza Italia’s amendment arrives.

                                        The Blue (Forza Italia) are, in these hours, announcing modifications in the second reading at Palazzo Madama: “The rule doesn't convince us and cannot remain as it is,” said group leader Stefania Craxi at the Senate. Deputy President Licia Ronzulli has upped the ante: “A wrong message is sent, to those who have been vaccinated and to those who haven’t. We emerged from Covid thanks to science and vaccines.”

                                        Article “Vaccines? I am someone who believes in science”: Schillaci defeats the majority on the reinstatement of no-vax doctors comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano.

                                          Il Fatto Quotidiano: “La cosa più importante della mia infanzia è stata la perdita di mia madre a 17 anni, è stato un cataclisma. Ma c’era anche spensieratezza. Credo che la vita delle persone sia spesso questo: spensieratezza e dolore, e tanto lavoro”: parla Jean Reno

                                          Jean Reno, attore. Ma anche scrittore, perché prima con Emma e ora con Evasione, entrambi pubblicati da Longanesi, il successo è arrivato anche come narratore di thriller, dopo i 75 anni. Perché non si è messo a scrivere prima? “Non so dirlo. Penso che il Covid sia stato un segnale. Quando ci si definisce con il proprio lavoro, alla domanda ‘che cosa fai?’ si risponde ‘l’attore’. E tutt’a un tratto: ‘Che cosa fai?’. ‘Niente, resto a casa’. E non sei più niente. È un errore. Si può fare la giornalista in una rivista fantastica e coltivare le patate. L’ho scoperto in quel momento, ed è per questo che ho osato. Altrimenti mi proibisco molte cose, perché penso che gli altri abbiano talmente tanto più talento“.
                                          Reno non si sente ancora uno scrittore, semmai un “narratore di storie”. E a Vanity Fair racconta: “Conosco molto bene Marc Levy, abita a dieci minuti a piedi da casa mia. A lui le idee escono come da un vulcano, a me girano in testa per molto tempo. Per lui scrivere è vitale, se non scrive muore. Per me è una gioia, non un bisogno. Lui è un vero scrittore“. Il successo nel cinema non lo ha vissuto come accade a tanti, da giovani, tra soldi, donne, foto e viaggi. “Non sono caduto nella droga, nell’alcol, nel sesso. Venivo dal teatro, ho considerato che fosse un lavoro”.

                                          The most important thing about my childhood was the loss of my mother at the age of 17; it was a cataclysm. But there was also carefree joy. I believe that people’s lives are often this: carefree joy and pain, and so much work – speaks Jean Reno.

                                          Jean Reno, actor. But also a writer, because before with Emma and now with Evasione, both published by Longanesi, success came as a thriller narrator, after he turned 75. Why didn’t he start writing earlier? “I don’t know. I think the Covid was a sign. When you define yourself with your work, when someone asks you ‘what do you do?’ you answer ‘actor’. And suddenly: ‘What do you do?’ ‘Nothing, I stay at home’. And you are no longer anything. It's a mistake. You can be a journalist in a fantastic magazine and grow potatoes. I discovered that at the time, and that’s why I dared. Otherwise, I forbid myself many things, because I think others have so much more talent.”

                                          Reno doesn’t yet feel like a writer, rather a “storyteller”. And he tells Vanity Fair: “I know Marc Levy very well, he lives ten minutes on foot from my house. Ideas come out of him like from a volcano, they spin around in my head for a long time. For him writing is vital, if he doesn’t write he dies. For me it's a joy, not a need. He is a true writer.” The success he had in the cinema he didn’t experience as many do, when young, with money, women, photos and trips. “I didn’t fall into drugs, alcohol, or sex. I came from theater, I considered it to be a job.”

                                          The article “The most important thing about my childhood was the loss of my mother at 17, it was a cataclysm. But there was also carefree joy. I believe that people's lives are often this: carefree joy and pain, and a lot of work” comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano, by Jean Reno.

                                              Hello there, here are the weekly (that is, and environs) toots.

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

                                              The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's SARS-CoV2 seven-day running average numbers are headed in the right direction, but still fairly high. The last seven day running average calculation was done on 10/20.

                                              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 @WADeptHealth
