Someone I care deeply about told me they won’t be able to get together in a few days (we’d been planning on them doing a molecular test first) because they think they might have #Covid. Feeling terrible for over a week, sore throat, etc.

What puts this from “sad, but thanks for letting me know” territory into a full WTF is the fact that they were calling from work. Unmasked of course.

I. Can’t. Even.

Why does Trump want us sick or dead?

Europe Home/Newsroom/Events/Myth-busters: debunking long COVID myths and misconceptions © Myth-busters: debunking long COVID myths and misconceptions 30 January – 31 March 2026 Русский Deutsch Misconceptions about post COVID-19 condition, more commonly known as long COVID, continue to hinder diagnosis, prevention, care and rehabilitation. To debunk these myths and misconceptions, WHO/Europe, with support from the European Union, has developed 8 long COVID myth-busters that use evidence-based information and real patient stories to clear up these myths and promote scientifically accurate understanding.

For those interested... this is a deeper link to the actual issue list... (scroll down)

https://www.who.int/europe/event/myth-busters--debunking-long-covid-myths-and-misconceptions

Here's the list...

Long COVID can affect anyone exposed to COVID. Being young and fit doesn’t protect you from long COVID.

You don’t need to have been seriously ill – or have a pre-existing condition – to develop long COVID.

Long COVID is a debilitating condition that can affect physical and cognitive functioning. It isn’t just being a bit tired.

Long COVID can affect anyone and impact work and well-being. It isn’t “laziness” or “an excuse to stop working”.

Long COVID continues for 2–3 months or more, so symptoms don’t “only persist for a few weeks”.

Long COVID is a real health condition. It isn’t caused by stress, anxiety or poor mental health.

COVID-19 vaccines reduce the risk of long COVID; they don’t “cause” it.

Long COVID hasn’t gone away; new infections still lead to cases. It isn’t “a thing of the past”.

„Ab der Impfsaison 2026/2027 wird der Covid-19-Impfstoff Comirnaty® von Pfizer und Biontech über die Regelversorgung in den Verkehr gebracht und nicht mehr zentral über den Bund beschafft. Zudem wird der Impfstoff für Personen ab zwölf Jahren in einer Fertigspritze mit einer Haltbarkeit von zwölf Monaten bei Lagerung zwischen 2 bis 8 °C verfügbar sein.“

Juchu!

Hi, 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 of its detected Sars-CoV-2 levels went up a great deal. The last calculation was made on 2/3.

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 https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater. 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

Nipah is looking very concerning possibly as bad if not worse than Covid https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2026/1/29/why-is-indias-nipah-virus-outbreak-spooking-the-world #nipah #india #COVID #health #science

I have a bad cough after a long cold. Not as bad as my covid 19 cough where I ripped muscles in my chest and my lowest point in December 2020 was when I felt something peel painfully off my lung and I retched as I coughed it up. That was probably the moment I thought I was going to die on my bathroom floor from covid. #covid

Warum nehmt ihr Covid nicht mehr ernst?

I drove through downtown #Cheney #WA this afternoon. It was like a ghost town. Haven't seen anything like this since #Covid. Lots of parking, and no lines. Thanks, #SuperBowl
