'One of the biggest misperceptions is that vaccination or prior infection protects you, or that you’ll react the same to every COVID infection.' @ahandvanish #LongCovid research and advocacy, @patientled. @cenmag
🔡Without infection, there's no #LongCovid.

Can we at least get a universal name for the "everything" menu button? The "hamburger" button or the "three dots" button ain't working...

@HelenBranswell @sciencecohen Someone needs to explain to the CDC what the rest of medicine is learning: that #LongCovid is “severe disease” too. The goal should be limiting infection and spread, not just hospitalizations and death.

Canadian Climate Wildfire Catastrophic Alarm 🇨🇦 🔥 🚨

How big is 16 million hectares? Get out a map of your area, no a bigger one.

Find the scale on one edge, little ruler with 100 200 etc

Draw a box on the map 400 kilometers long, and 400 kilometers tall, here are two.

How many million more hectares before it's all gone? 100,000,000? 10 more summers like this?

It's still a pandemic virus. All it takes is a variant with enough immune escape to overcome existing immunity and we're off to the races with exponential growth. That's what's happening with XBB now and BA.2.86 has the potential to be next. The timing is all about when variants emerge, not seasonaliity.

@hannu_ikonen @PacificNic Coincidentally, my mom just texted from Iowa that power is failing in her college town due to heat. So even WITH central AC, it's not enough.

This is a game changer:

In the early morning hours, Ukrainian forces carried out an amphibious landing on the Tarkhankut peninsula of Crimea where they destroyed a Russian S-400 air defence system.

Knowing the difference Patriot air defence systems have made for Ukraine, taking out the corresponding S-400 systems in Crimea can spell serious trouble.

Especially now, where some of these systems have been pulled back to protect Moscow and airfields inside Russia against Ukrainian drone attacks.

This is exactly what needs to happen. Instead of trying to force workers back to the office, convert unused office space into affordable housing.https://news.yahoo.com/nyc-rolls-plan-convert-empty-120724287.html

Death Star brought to you by the Texas #GOPDeathCult: Goal: TX legislature wants to effectively deny cities -state’s lg. Dem-leaning cities, esp. Houston/San Antonio/Austin -the ability to pass local laws & regulations in 8 major policy areas: AG, bus & commerce, FIN, INSUR, labor, natural resource law, occupational law, & prop. law -does all this in a bill -doesn't aim to affirmatively lay out regs. at the state level -simply attempts to thwart local regs🚨. #GOPFascism https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/08/greg-abbott-texas-attacks-austin-with-death-star.html

@KimPerales
Isn't Texas a "home rule" state?

Something I love about Oslo: This city is incredibly quiet.

Lots of people are walking/biking/scooting. And most vehicles are electric, while speed limits are typically 30 km/hr (19 mph), so engine/tire noise is negligible.

A reminder that cities aren't loud; *cars* are loud.

Anything in the "male enhancement" department?

Dear Zoom:

"US CDC says new COVID lineage could cause infections in vaccinated individuals"

WTF are they smoking down there? Has there EVER been a SARS2 lineage where vaccines have prevented infection??

It’s shameful that hospitals are not even protecting immunocompromised lung cancer patients from #COVID.
