Adnkronos - ultimoratop: Manovra, Fadoi: "Mobilitazione sanità richiamo a riflettere, ascoltare tutti e fare di più"

(Adnkronos) - "La sanità è di tutti: è prevalentemente del paziente e in secondo luogo è degli operatori sanitari, che sono impegnati in una mobilitazione importante per il 5 dicembre. Anche le società scientifiche appoggiano quello che è un richiamo alla riflessione: bisogna fare di più, capendo che i momenti non sono sempre gli stessi. Nel periodo Covid è stato fatto tantissimo, certo. Molte cose hanno funzionato. Sembra però che tanti non abbiano imparato dal sistema che era stato messo in piedi in meno di un anno. Siamo tornati molto indietro su alcuni aspetti organizzativi". A sottolinearlo all'Adnkronos Salute è Andrea Montagnani, presidente nazionale della Fadoi (Federazione delle associazioni dei dirigenti ospedalieri internisti), commentando le misure previste in Manovra e guardando all'iniziativa in programma per chiedere più attenzione per il settore sanitario.

Manovra, Fadoi: “Healthcare mobilization calls for reflection, listening to everyone, and doing more.”

(Adnkronos) - “Healthcare is for everyone: it’s primarily of the patient and secondly of healthcare professionals, who are engaged in an important mobilization for December 5th. Scientific societies also support what is a call to reflection: we need to do more, understanding that the moments aren't always the same. A lot was done during the Covid period, certainly. Many things worked. However, it seems like many didn’t learn from the system that was put in place in less than a year. We have gone back very far on some organizational aspects.” This was stated to Adnkronos Salute by Andrea Montagnani, national president of Fadoi (Federation of Hospital Internal Medicine Director Associations), commenting on the measures planned in the Stability Law and looking ahead to the initiative scheduled to ask for more attention for the healthcare sector.

Greetings, here are the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater 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 somewhat better than they have been lately, but are still elevated. The last seven day running average calculation was done on 11/3.

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 @WADeptHealth

Traveled by air from the East Coast to the Pacific NW and could barely count on one hand how many people were masked at the airports and on the planes. It's respiratory season for crying out loud! And the US has more than 5400 cases of measles this year (per Johns Hopkins tracker) with 8 deaths. Sat next to unmasked sniffling passengers on both flights but donned my N95 mask, had a window seat, broke out my personal air purifier, and turned up the overhead air.

Review of medical records found that metformin prescribed within a week of documented SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with a 53% lower risk of LC over 6 months.

A study published last week in the Journal of Medical Virology finds that US COVID-19 patients prescribed metformin, a medication that treats prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, within six days of COVID-19 infection were less likely to develop long COVID or die.

Okay so I would like to start masking again, but the KN-95s I have are several years old (and from Amazon so IDEK if they were effective to begin with).

What's the best way to get some KN-95s? How do I ensure they're "legit?"

Also how do y'all with POTS and similar symptoms cope with masking? I start overheating and getting out of breath extremely easily, so that coupled with sensory sensitivities is a nightmare when wearing a mask.

the back/kidney pain is new to me with #COVID, but the little bite in my throat sounds like a bit of the razor blade strain, and that my breathing is louder than my singing takes me right back to the very start, before we ever heard of it , my nose is closed again.

anybody else get a bad back or a bad kidney with #COVID lately?

A bit of #Vancouver epidemiology:

1. Daughter went to Phoebe Bridgers concert, didn't wear mask, infected whole family with #Covid.
2. I'm recovering a bit but canceled my music lesson today; teacher gets back to me and says “I’m having about two cancellations a day from sick students as there is Covid and a severe #flu going around.”

Be careful out there! Get vaxxed, wear masks.
