At 6:04 #NZPol #ACT deputy leader Brooke Van Velden gets a shout out on Pod Save America for stating Jacinda Ardern put far too much emphasis on saving lives during #Covid.

It seems somewhat like putting the fox in charge of the hen house to see Brooke Van Velden now taking the same dismissive approach to the value of life as #NewZEaland Minister of Workplace Health and Safety, especially now that she's relaxed responsibilities of employers. #AtlasNetwork

3 days after 10th #Covid shot, arm is fully comfortably mobile, though injection site still feels tender to touch. Immune response side effects very mild.

Ok, so remember the whole "COVID-19 seems to have superantigenic properties but it's not clear which of its proteins drive that" thing?

Persistent N protein in peripheral blood might be one driver of autoimmunity: https://disabled.social/@tomkindlon/114673383700458817

"our findings suggest that the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 N-protein in peripheral blood promotes a chronic inflammatory milieu, even several months after active infection via MAVS-mediated type I IFN production that could contribute, in susceptible individuals, to the development of autoimmunity."

Long COVID and Biomarker Dysregulation—A Shift Toward Immune Exhaustion? — Kallaste et al.
"Our findings suggest that inflammation-related biomarker dysregulation following acute SARS-CoV-2 infection evolves dynamically over a six-month period. By the sixth month, compared to the third month, the presence of LC is more accurately predicted by a combination of persistent biomarker alteration and the severity of the initial infection, as defined by WHO criteria."

IgA autoimmunity and coagulation among post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) patients with persistent respiratory symptoms: a case-control study — Gomes et al.
"we found that IgA antibodies correlate inversely with clinical symptoms and directly with clotting parameters, suggesting a possible link between autoimmunity and coagulation, but in a unexpected direction as lower levels of IgA predicted more respiratory symptoms among PASC cases."

"Whereas upregulated levels of SLAMF1, TNF, TSLP, IL15RA, IL18, ADA, CXCL9, CXCL10, IL17C, and NT3 at the acute phase of the illness were associated with increased Long COVID risk, upregulated TRANCE was associated with a reduced risk of developing Long COVID."

COVID-19...

Professor T Ryan Gregory explains:

Nimbus (NB.1.8.1) and
Stratus (XFG) variants

His final paragraph...

'Reminder: ventilation, air filtration, well-fitting N95 masks, and avoiding high risk exposure (e.g., indoor crowds in poorly ventilated spaces) are variant-proof measures.'

Die „kleine“ schwarze Stereoanlage mit Internetradio war während der Pandemie oft Quelle für Hörspiele, nachdem ich keine Lust mehr auf Radiogedudel hatte. Irgendwann fand’ ich heraus, dass mensch dieses komische YouTube, auf dem meine Klassenkameraden immer Videos guckten (was mich anfangs wesentlich weniger interessierte als hässliche Browser-Games) auch nutzen konnte, um Musik zu hören und diese (damals noch über hässliche Websites) herunterzuladen. Nur wusste ich nicht, was. Ich fing natürlich mit dem an, was ich aus dem Radio kannte, aber eigentlich wollte ich *neues*. Ich lud die Intro- und Timelapse-Musik von Minecraft-Let’s Plays – die mich irgendwann viel zu viel interessierten – runter und hörte diese ersten paar Tracks endlos auf Repeat. #Fotovorschlag #music #musik #kinderzimmer #pandemie #covid19 #covid
