This is the absolute worst time to have the most awful people in charge of public health. To be fair, Biden let us down to start with: gave in to pressure for profit. When banks made catastrophic terrible decisions in 2008, we had hundreds of billions to bail them out. When poor people needed healthcare and protection from COVID, it was important to take our lumps and get back to work.

Sorry for the substack link, but now they're literally deleting data on #COVID so we can't even know what happened.

People will still die. Turning off the measurement doesn't mean they don't die.

“2.9% death rate for #COVID, 0.4% for #RSV
In the study, 39% of babies admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) because of COVID-19 needed to be put on a ventilator to breathe, compared with 16% of babies with RSV. Children hospitalized for COVID-19 also stayed in the hospital longer than those with RSV in the study, which included 33 hospitals in 28 states and was conducted from November 2023 to March 2024.”

Despite good air quality (mean CO2 614 ppm), 39% of air samples had SARS-CoV-2 RNA. https://www.resmedjournal.com/article/S0954-6111(26)00080-6/fulltext #COVID #covid_19 #COVID19

This Lena Sun / Rachel Roubein article says that the CDC’s ACIP has given up on a push to stop recommendationing #covid #COVID19 vaccines entirely at next week’s meeting. Apparently the Trump administration is feeling some pre-midterm heat on vaxes — great! Let’s keep the pressure on these weirdos.

#OTD 15 years ago, northern Japan shook under a heavy earthquake and a disaster ensued.

6 years ago, the WHO officially declared #COVID 19 a pandemic.

What a date, 11 of march

In another event at the 24/7 circus, the current head of the NIH is launching "Scientific Freedom" talks with a climate change denier who shares his idea (for which he cried "Suppression!") about how we should have dealt with #COVID: do nothing, let nature decide. is.gd/nkhAp0 #science

Did you know? Six years ago, on Wednesday, March 11, 2020, the world health organization (WHO) declared #COVID a pandemic. That was the day the virus became a pandemic. Then, after that Thursday, our governor of Ohio shut down all the schools and businesses. It was starting to become obvious that it was getting bad by the moment. Friday, March 13 is when it all changed. School packets were being sent, and we were going home thinking we would be back in the next two weeks, but it was the opposite. I would use #SeeingAI to help read the packets of work because they were in print not braille. Later on we started doing meetings through Zoom or other means of communication. Funny how this year, today is Wednesday and tomorrow is Thursday, and Friday is the 13th. It was definitely a crazy time then. That's why I'm working on my own book on 2020, because everyone has a story, you know? Things have changed a lot since then. Little did we know that we would never return to in person learning, because our bitch ass governor Mike DeWine kept them virtual for the entirety of the fucking year, and I was a senior, so that's a big deal. Some businesses stayed open, except for schools. That's another reason why my love for Florida amplified even more during that time. They were always open. When I went down in the spring and back, airports were less occupied the normal, and the planes weren't as full as usual. Because the last of my high school days were shit. One thing I will tell you, though, throughout all the mess during the pandemic there were lots of fun Covid parodies and memes forming on YouTube, #TikTok, and other platforms. People like Chris man, Steve Stuart, I could go on. Lots of people did this back then. Many of the song parodies were about the pandemic themselves. If you wanna listen to song parodies, listen to parodys about the pandemic. I couldn't list them all, but one of them I still sing is take this mask and shove it. That's a parody of take this job and shove it by Steve Stewart. I also got @danestange obsessed with that song late 2021, because I featured it in one of my YouTube videos of me sending a mask away in a helium balloon. That was because things were starting to open up around memorial Day iSH. Both of us liked singing it. What are your Covid memories? Write them in the comments! I wanna hear them!

'Gezondheidsraad: leeftijdsgrens coronaprik kan van 60 naar 70'

"Zestigers zouden nog wel op grond van hun gezondheidstoestand in aanmerking kunnen komen voor vaccinatie, maar niet meer op grond van hun leeftijd."

"Zo adviseert de Gezondheidsraad om de prik beschikbaar te stellen voor vijftigers en zestigers uit “medische risicogroepen”. Dit zijn bijvoorbeeld mensen met COPD, diabetes, ALS, parkinson, dementie of een verstandelijke beperking."

"Ook zouden alle kinderen en volwassenen uit “medische hoogrisicogroepen” de vaccinatie moeten krijgen. Dat zijn bijvoorbeeld mensen met leukemie, sikkelcelziekte of nierfalen, mensen met een afweerstoornis, mensen met het syndroom van Down of mensen met zeer ernstig overgewicht."

"Het advies geldt niet alleen voor de vaccinatieronde van komend najaar, maar ook voor de inenting in het najaar van 2027."

"Minister Sophie Hermans van Volksgezondheid schrijft in een brief aan de Tweede Kamer dat het advies voor 2026 wordt overgenomen. Dit najaar kunnen alle genoemde groepen een inenting halen. De VVD-minister heeft voor 2027 nog geen geld om de vaccinatie aan te bieden."

We've all upped our "mask game" in the last half decade or so, but I'm curious, what was the best mask or respirator you wore with any regularity in the very early days of the pandemic, say, before fall 2020?

Just in case you forgot - SARS-CoV-2 dramatically alters cells. Not embellishment, but the words of the researchers:

SARS-CoV-2 infection induces global alterations of the host endomembrane system, including dramatic Golgi fragmentation

The virus shatters and scatters critical cellular pieces - this time my words. Them:

In contrast to the well-organized ribbon-like structure in uninfected cells, as labeled by the Golgi protein GRASP65, the Golgi was seen as small fragments dispersed in the entire cytoplasm in infected cells

Unsurprisingly, you'll find my own website and blog (with entries going back close to 25 years) at https://www.mediaactivist.com where you can find out more about me. But for now here's a fresh #introduction! I'm a Britain-based #solarpunk passionate about helping to make the world a better place through the liberatory power of multimedia technology, particularly DIY media such as non-centralised social networks and good old fashioned #zines. My "day job" is freelancing mostly in non-profits while caring for my partner, who has myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) caused by #Covid she contracted six years ago today. By "night," I continue to work on something called The SilenceBreaker: https://silencebreaker.mediaactivist.com
