"I often hear people writing about how they are waiting for a big, dramatic event that changes everything - and of course, those events do happen. But the people saying that often have lived through a dozen of those events in the last few years... and often barely noticed them and the radical shifts in society that accompanied them."

Well, I do believe this is a first since #Covid #Wastewater data has been collected...

Los Angeles Hyperion plant has detected ZERO covid!!

Looks like the only thing really going around locally is Rotavirus. Norovirus is on the rise nationwide but low in SoCal.

'Buurtzorg overweegt rechtszaak vanwege machtsmisbruik VWS'

"Hugo de Jonge zette als minister van VWS in het begin van de coronacrisis Buurtzorg onder druk na een lobby van toenmalig ActiZ-bestuurder Conny Helder."

"Desgevraagd laat De Blok weten dat hij in de coronacrisis aan alle kanten is tegengewerkt door de overheid. “Niet alleen heeft minister De Jonge gehoor gegeven aan het verzoek van ActiZ. Daarnaast bracht hij ook de IGJ, de NZa en zorgkantoren in stelling tegen Buurtzorg. We hebben daar veel last van gehad, tot op de dag van vandaag. We hadden destijds bijna een oplossing met de zorgkantoren en de NZa over onze zorg aan huis in de Wlz, maar die stond toen op losse schroeven. Daardoor lijden we nu elk jaar verlies op de zorg aan huis vanuit de Wlz."

"Dit is machtsmisbruik en grenst aan corruptie.”

"Al vanaf het begin van de coronacrisis, in december 2019, heeft De Blok in de gaten wat er vanuit China op de rest van de wereld afkomt. Via het eigen internationale netwerk beschikte Buurtzorg over goede contacten in Azië. Uit die informatie leidde Buurtzorg af dat het werken met beschermingsmiddelen ook in de ouderenzorg juist essentieel was."

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 is low. The last 7DRA calculation was on 5/19.

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 @WADeptHealth

Last Reminder - Tell the FDA: We Need Updated #COVID Vaccines for Fall 2026
Take action for COVID vaccine variant updates and access for all ages by this Wednesday, May 27, 11:59 pm EDT, for the May 28 FDA VRBPAC meeting
https://precaution.substack.com/p/last-reminder-tell-the-fda-we-need/

Bumping -> Urgent covid vaccine comments needed

Public comments to the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) are due by Midnight ET, tonight (May 27).

Your voice is needed to advocate for continued updates to COVID vaccines in the US. Copy, modify, and share any of the text for your own advocacy. Your comment does not have to be long or contain scientific details. Brief personal comments are highly impactful. Personalize your comment by including brief comments about why updated COVID vaccination matters to you or how COVID vaccine access impacts your community.

Key Talking Points:
-COVID vaccines must continue to be updated at least once a year to match circulating strains.
-We need updated COVID vaccines for fall, ideally by July-August prior to the start of the K-12 school year.
-COVID vaccines must be made available for people of all ages, 6 months and up, regardless of medical history.
-The FDA and other federal agencies must allow publication of recently blocked studies on COVID and other vaccine safety and effectiveness.

Submit your written comment by May 27 here: https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FDA-2026-N-3962-0001

RE: https://mastodon.social/@patientled/116647429195124001

You may be aware of the hypothesis that reactivation of herpes-family virus (like EBV and HHV-6) may play a role in Long COVID.

This paper https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.05.19.26353495v1.full-text found that one HHV-6 protein does correlate with LC burden:

Higher salivary HHV-6 DNA was associated with worse overall Long COVID symptom severity, anxiety, and depression

But no association between amount of viral DNA and LC burden:

Shedding of neither EBV nor HHV-6 DNA was singularly predictive of Long COVID status

Note that does NOT imply there isn't a causal relationship between active herpesvirus and LC, because other factors might mediate. It ONLY means that quantifying viral DNA in saliva is not predictive.

Great work by Dr. Iwasaki and the Putrino lab!

#ICE detainees are dying by #suicide at an 'alarming' rate, AP investigation finds

Brayan Rayo Garzon was distraught. Detained by ICE, he was on his fourth day of #isolation in a Missouri jail as he battled the fevers & chills of #COVID-19.

His request for #MentalHealth treatment had been put off, records show, & staff had forbidden Rayo from making his nightly call to his mother as a precaution intended to prevent the spread of illness.

i said it in 2020, have to say it again: #MAGA #oligarchy #EpsteinClass #GOP #Republicans are using #vaccines hesitancy, #COVID #flu and now #HantaVirus to wage biological warfare.

stop giving RFK Jr the benefit of the doubt. Trump chose him not to be Secretary of Health buf Secretary of #Eugenics.

RFK’s goal is to kill as many Americans as he can. this isn't speculation. the evidence is there. it is a statement of fact.

'Ouderen wederom vergeten in parlementaire enquête Corona'

"Verenso, de vereniging van specialisten ouderengeneeskunde, constateert met verbazing dat kwetsbare ouderen ook in de parlementaire enquête Corona worden vergeten. “Ongelooflijk pijnlijk”, constateren de huidige en oud-voorzitter van Verenso."

"In de verpleeghuizen vond in 2020 een stille ramp plaats, en nu lijken de kwetsbare ouderen en de professionals in de langdurige zorg weer te worden vergeten"

"het gebrek aan beschermende middelen en tests in de verpleeghuizen was enorm […] Pas toen de specialisten ouderengeneeskunde vanuit hun eigen registratie konden aantonen om hoeveel zieken en ook dodelijke slachtoffers het ging, leek de urgentie te veranderen"

same shit as abortion bans, different day.

"I don't like this thing!"
"Why?"
"It's bad!"
"Ok, but it also saves people's lives and livelihoods if you allow it tho."
"No! Don't like it!"
"Uhhhhh people are literally going to die and worse, my dude."
"Fine! Only enough to keep them alive!"

"Right, maybe we can save a few people from long covid, especially due to repeat infections,
even this late into the SARS Pandemic."
"No! Pandemic ended!"
"Then why are people still getting complications, deaths, and industry delays due to rising long-term sickness?"

"Lazy!"
"Please go get your head checked, mate.
Covid causes systemic infections.
I probably have literal brain damage too. TBI is nothing to be ashamed about, unless you're shaming other people for it."
"No!"
"Do you want someone to go with you?
I can help you with paperwork as long as we take breaks.
Might need to do it over different days, especially with my sleep schedule."

Modern healthcare systems ... work best when:

• a disease has a clear cause
• testing identifies the problem
• treatment follows a predictable path
• recovery is expected

Long COVID fit none of those patterns.

Former US Surgeon General Jerome Adams put it bluntly this week:

“Long COVID’s disability & suffering will be the pandemic’s most devastating long-term global legacy. Neither GBD supporters nor critics anticipated its scale or included it in their policy calculus — and ‘let er rip’ strategies prioritizing widespread exposure clearly worsen the toll.”
