Oh wow.

So in California apparently 1 in 29 residents is estimated to be actively infectious with COVID / SARS-CoV-2: https://pmc19.com/map per Dr Mike Hoerger.

Schools have what, 20-30 students per classroom, and high schools usually mix from period to period?

That seems bad?

Hello, here 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 sewage treatment plant’s SARS-CoV2 concentration numbers are back up to terrible. The last seven day running average calculation was done on 9/29.

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

Sticker im Impfpass: Comirnaty LP.8.1 am 06.10.

🧵 (42/ ) #Weird #WeirdGOP
This is more #Disturbing than weird. CLEARLY he is aware that T****'s handling of #Covid "may have" played a part in his son's death or else he wouldn't have written that on his shirt. Yet, he remains loyal. #ItsACult

Drama today, J in hospital with high temp (38.9), high pulse, & no sleep for 24 hrs.

Fucking #covid—which can be worse for those with dementia. She's vaccinated, but it still slipped through. 😢

Antivirals, a drip, & 8hrs later she's back in her home, which is good, but makes life harder for other residents & carers.

Last hospital visit (pneumonia), they called twice to prepare me for the worst. So, I guess it's all relative. I'm still relieved.

I visited Wed, but tested clear today.

Sich gegen #Covid impfen zu lassen wird auch immer komplizierter. Gerade ruft die Hausarztpraxis an und sagt, ich muss einen Tag vorher kommen, mir ein Rezept abholen und ein Aufklärungsgespräch mit dem Arzt führen. Dann mit dem Rezept in die Apotheke und den Impfstoff abholen. Dann noch einmal in die Arztpraxis, wo sie mir den Impfstoff in den Arm spritzen. Bisher ging das einfacher. 🤦‍♀️

#Impfung

Is Boots the only place to get a Covid vaccine? It seems to be where I live. I don't want to pay a private equity owner for my vaccine. The local Boots had flawed hygiene standards the last jab I had there. I don't trust they'll properly store, select, handle & administer correctly. Meanwhile NHS throws away unwanted shots. There has to be a better way to keep people safe.

To those who measure CO₂ as proxy for clean air in public places:

Have you observed any change in CO₂ levels in retail/offices/libraries/healthcare/government buildings etc. compared with say five years ago?

Are there any #COVID conscious children's books? We're especially interested in board books because of our baby's age and destructiveness, but I'll take anything.

What I hear from other parents is that there are a few from the early pandemic with outdated info like standing 6 feet apart and cloth masks, but nothing really relevant today.

Alternately, if you want your child to care about public health, what books might help?

Genf publiziert im Episcope-Newsletter Covid-Hospitalisierungsdaten des HUG (einzige Schweizer Daten, die mir bekannt sind).

Die Spitaldaten wirken proportional zu den Abwasserdaten.

Auch interessant: Zum ersten Mal Impfempfehlung für *ab September*.

Dutchies,

Does anyone have recommendations where to buy 3M aura FFP2 masks for a reasonable price?
