@anubis2814 Covid spreads year round. It is estimated that 400 Million people are dealing with Long Covid in some form. People are getting (re)infected with Covid in the present tense. People are developing Long Covid in the present tense. Asymptomatic infection is a thing. You have no idea who is infected and who is vulnerable at any given moment. Consider updating your risk analysis.

March 1, 2026 field report. 1. A covid cautious conversation with family. 2. Steady breathing and patience each other 3. Free moisture has been evenly distributed in the neighborhood with the eight inches of new snow yesterday. #CovidIsNotOver, #CovidCautious, #stillMasking
Not sure where you're getting the fear aspect from? All of the people who are still masking - myself included - aren't doing so out of fear: but from one or a mix of things, including community care; ensuring their chronic illness doesn't worsen; taking practical steps to avoid chronic illness; avoiding many of the still getting researched knock-on effects of covid; protecting their children; projecting an unwell loved one and also just enjoying not being sick with *anything*
We've done our risk analysis and decided that wearing a mask is akin to wearing shoes and it doesn't bother us at all.
Also - I'm in Australia and we have a few waves a year still, and we had a massive flu season over Christmas. It's summer here then.
Je vais passer cette semaine je pense une commande de cartes de tests Pluslife SARS CoV-2, est-ce qu'il y a des gens intéressés sur Lyon par une commande groupée pour partager les frais de port ?
J'ai encore quelques cartes Grippe A/Grippe B/VRS si jamais il y a des gens qui en voudraient - je n'utiliserai probablement pas tout (je les laisse à prix coûtant soit environ 10 balles la carte, ou prix libre si vous êtes en galère, date bd'expiration août 2026)

Some highlights from @ducky 's weekly roundup https://covidbc.webfoot.com/2026/02/28/2026-02-28-general/
Natal health:
babies who had been exposed to COVID-19 in the womb had double the risk of birth defects compared to babies with no COVID-19 exposure, and triple the risk of cardiovascular system malformations
Sleep disturbances:
COVID-19 infections increase the risk of new-onset obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnoses. Compared to COVID-negative controls, [...] non-hospitalized patients had a 33% higher risk.
Kidney disease: influenza didn't detectably increase kidney disease, but
people who got COVID-19 infections had:
- +174% higher risk of acute kidney injury (AKI);
- +39% higher risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD);
- +222% higher risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD);
- +28% higher risk of glomerular diseases.
More evidence that fewer infections is better:
among people over 55, those who had a COVID-19 reinfection were three times as likely to get a new diagnosis of osteoporosis as those with one infection
Treatment of acute cases:
[people] who got Paxlovid after a COVID-19 infection had 5% fewer sick days, 17% fewer short-term disability days, and 27% fewer long-term disability days than people who did not get Paxlovid

And bearing in mind the difficulty in reporting cases in the last 18 months or so, that isn’t good
I was hopeful because it looked like someone at the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had managed to keep the RESP-NET data updated with #COVID #flu and #RSV hospitalizations, but they haven't updated since January.
I wish I could say #NYC was better at providing #COVID19 #Wastewater data for timely warning of new outbreaks, but the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene only updates the city's Open Data portal once a month.
Hey, je cherche à me loger à Bruxelles quelques jours autour du 25 mars. A savoir que juste avant j'aurais passé une soirée avec une vingtaine de personnes avec réduction des risques covid (demande de pas prendre de risques la semaine avant, purifs et tests pcr au minimum) et que de manière générale j'essaie de pratiquer la RdR covid. Je porte le masque en intérieur sans souci.
merciii

L'autodéfense, ça s'apprend et ça se construit, et ça tombe bien, on a testé le premier atelier pour apprendre à construire un purificateur d'air en CARTON !
On voulait montrer que c'est facile et qu'on peut le faire à la maison, et l'atelier a été un franc succès. Regardez comme ils sont beaux !
On a aussi appris que les cartons de livraison de nourriture, bien solides, étaient meilleurs que les cartons tout flappy, surprenant (oups...).
Merci tout le monde pour votre présence, c'était très chouette comme moment.
Si ça vous intéresse d'organiser un atelier de construction de purificateurs d'air, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter pour qu'on se déplace ou qu'on vous explique à distance. Il y a des guides de montage en cours de rédaction de notre côté, mais comme d'habitude, on y va à notre rythme 🐌
Par contre, depuis qu'on construit en carton ou en bois, on a gagné quelques décibels très désagréables par résonnance/réverbération, vous avez des suggestions pour limiter le phénomène ?

Pleased to see folks in their teens and 30s masked today. Not many, but any are welcome.
There is a very slight uptick in #flu and #RSV cases in #NYC, which may indicate that we're going to have a relatively rare double wave this #FluSeason, but it's still less than 1% of hospitalizations.
#COVIDIsNotOver but #COVID cases are at some of the lowest levels since the virus emerged, and there were 30 deaths in the four weeks ending February 7.
You can help prevent a second wave of #influenza and #RSVirus if you #WearAMask on elevators, trains, buses, doctors' offices and supermarkets!
Any #StillMasking #Covid #CovidIsNotOver .au folks have experience with Ausair Airflex masks? On the positive side, they're claiming kn95 certification, on the down side, they're on half price sale, which is worrying insofar as it suggests they might have wound down production, and maybe the filters will cease availability.
Need something a bit more convenient / quick doffable for outdoors / crowds than my 3M Auras.
Tested my new Zimi for the first time. Such a comfy mask. And after a long fit-testing session yesterday I felt very safe. #SaltingTheVibes #CovidIsNotOver
