CW: COVID-19

via @[email protected]

Yes, I wish the general public takes COVID more seriously.

Coronavirus is not like the flu nor RSV and we've known about that since MERS and the first SARS. Also, massively disappointed with queer assimilationists since COVID is quite similar to HIV/AIDS and given how the government's eugenicist policies and their anti-LGBT campaigns wiped out many of the people who would have been elders in our communities today. Let's alone the deaf communities with the older generations of sign language folks becoming deaf and multi-disabled because of rubella, which is much more infectious than COVID.

I encourage you to read what Augie has to say since the screenshot is a snapshot of a five-parts thread.

Here is the spreadsheet where Augie took the time to read over 1 500 studies and summarized the findings of about 500 of them: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12VbMkvqUF9eSggJsdsFEjKs5x0ABxQJi5tvfzJIDd3U/

Me: “Keep inviting your chronically ill friends to things even if they usually can’t come. It’s lovely to know you’re still invited.”

Person: invites me to a party in the middle of a pandemic

Me: “Not like that.”

#good to know they’re not taking Covid precautions though #now I know who to avoid #covid 19 #coronavirus

I'm home from work, infected with covid-19, yet again. As an immune compromised person, I'm starting to think covid is in love with me. This is my third infection this year alone.

I'm at the point in my infection where I'm getting worse. The old phrase "it gets worse before it gets better" comes to mind whenever I have covid.

I feel like it starts off mediocre, then you start to feel it and you're like "man this sucks"! That's when covid laughs and hits your harder.

I'm at the stage where my ears are half way plugged. It's becoming increasingly difficult to hear anything. I can't smell anymore, but I can still taste. Though taste is numbed. Nothing is like so delicious anymore it stands out. Everything kind of tastes just average.

My lungs have been burning for days now. But I haven't had a cough until today. Considering I still barely have a cough, that tells me it's still going to get worse.

My fever is so bad I'm drenched in sweat! I continuously randomly fall asleep at the drop of a hat. Due to my fever I'm having fever dreams. Shaking in my sleep even.

This isn't fun, I'm struggling with this infection. My immune system is having a rough time kicking it out.

Once again, they've put me on Paxlovid. The medication used in treating high risk patients, such as myself, for covid-19.

I'm writing all of this, even if no one reads it. Because I personally like to look back at where I was during certain times. Also, for those who do read, and are a part of my spooky community here on tumblr, just know you can probably expect me to posting more this upcoming week, as I will be stuck in bed.

And finally, because I am immune compromised. I have multiple autoimmune diseases as well as a ton of other chronic health conditions. It personally upsets me when people talk about how the pandemic is so called "over" or how covid is "irrelevant" now.

That is so far from the truth. In fact, covid is worse now than it ever was when we were on lockdown. The virus is also stronger now. It's learning to beat our vaccines. Which is why new ones keep immerging.

It's a deadly virus that's constantly mutating, it spreads at a rapid rate, especially during this time of year.

I tell you how my body is handling the virus, even before it hits its peak, so hopefully some more people can understand why this virus is dangerous. Why we must protect the vulnerable like myself. And even everyone for that matter.

One single covid-19 infection leaves life long health implications. We're already seeing it play out.

This virus was supposed to be far more complex than we understand. Please don't take it lightly and don't make jokes. Please take precautions when out in public and remember. The pandemic isn't over.

PSA that animals can be infected with SARS-CoV-2 as well so if you even suspect you could possibly have covid-19, please take precautions around your pets to avoid infecting them as well. While most reported cases appear to be mild and evidence is sorely lacking in how this virus affects non-human animals, there's still a risk of harm, particularly for more senior animals. Cats are also more likely to be infected and develop complications than dogs. And this is just what we know about acute infection as there's little to no research on possible long term effects of covid on animals.

Ways to avoid infecting your pet include: distancing and/or isolating yourself from them (which i know is hard, especially if you're sick and miserable), washing your hands and wearing a mask when preparing and giving them food and water and not re-initiating usual contact until you've tested negative on a RAT/LFT etc at least twice consecutively to make sure you're no longer contagious.

Stay safe and may your pets live long and happy lives <3

#covid 19 #im so worried about my cats since im not with them most of the time #and my brother is so blasé about catching covid (which he has. Twice)#and while he usually doesnt even interact with the cats he recently had to while mum was away #and also if she gets covid she's checking herself straight into hospital bc of her conditions so he'll have to look after them then #and he'll likely be infected to #and he sure as fuck wont listen to me about taking precautions #and when i asked mum to maybe even float the idea past him #she laughed at me #and said 'they'll be fine' and 'if they get it then it's their time' (bc she wont pay the money to treat them at the vets #and i just feel so angry and sick and worried about them bc im the only one who gives a shit about their health #all i ask is that they both take basic precautions to avoid infecting the cats #and they laugh at me #ik theyre senior cats and they dont live forever #but even just the idea of them dying makes me cry #and the thought of them dying bc of how callous and stupid my family are is just enraging #anYWAY #enough of a tag rant

We are three years into this pandemic. How has this not spurred the medical community into fixing their definition of “aerosol”. I know that it’ll take a long time, but I still haven’t heard any whispers of the process of the process STARTING.

This isn’t just “it really confuses people the way you use the term”. I’m certain that there were people who missed very relevant research papers because they saw the term “aerosol” and went “no, this is an airborne disease”.

#under normal circumstances I'm sure #that someone will say #hey did you remember to look for papers about aerosols too #because airborne disease often spreads that way #but things had to happen so quickly #and so many people who didn't have the experience #were looking into safety precautions #that if public health said #oh turns out that best practices now are for airborne #not aerosol #any information about actual aerosols would have gotten rejected #along with the information about medical aerosols #I'm fully convinced that we'll never find out #if COVID-19 is actually airborne #or just transmits via finer aerosols #because the question just wouldn't make sense #to a lot of medical researchers #is it airborne or airborne?#why would I look into that?

Reminder that this shit is still evolving.... 😩

Wear your mask inside public places or anywhere it’s crowded, preferably an N95 or KN95.

#coronavirus #covid-19 #omicron subvariant #ba.5 #public health #pandemic #🎶the pandemic isn't over just because you're over iiiiiiit🎶#ran errands yesterday #and counted literally TWO people wearing masks indoors #YOU might be willing to risk permanent disability #or getting stupider (''cognitive decline'' is literally a symptom of Long COVID)#but ***I*** sure as shit ain't #so get away from me if you refuse to take the easiest possible precautions #friggin plague rats #SOME OF US HAVE IMMUNE-COMPROMISED FOLKS AT HOME #or are vulnerable ourselves #and are basically in a constant state of #''I goddamned TOLD you idiots... jfc...''#cog rants

Can't believe I need to say this but: yes, I'm Christian. No, I'm not anti vaxx or anti wearing a mask. These kinds of things are fueled by fear and pride, two things He doesn't want us to have. God can keep you safe, but if you run out into traffic, don't expect to be unharmed. That's how I feel about people who refuse to get the vaccine based on their religion.

#if you spread the virus bc you didn't want to get vaxxed and someone dies in the process #do you really reckon God is proud of you?#kindness is keeping the people around you safe by taking the necessary precautions #fyi I'm conservative but this isn't a political or religious blog #I'm just saying my piece because I'm disappointed in some people #christianity #religion #covid 19 #LE talks to you against your will

A type of flu virus that used to sicken people every year hasn't been spotted anywhere on Earth since March 2020. As such, experts have advised that the apparently extinct viruses be removed from next year's flu vaccines. The now-extinct viruses were a branch of the influenza B family tree known as the Yamagata lineage. Scientists first reported the apparent disappearance of Yamagata viruses in 2021. At that time, experts speculated that precautions taken to stop the spread of COVID-19 — such as masking and social distancing — had not only driven the overall number of flu cases to historic lows but may have completely snuffed out this type of flu virus.

Me when the nurses tell me to talk to a patient in a room. I check the door and there are no listed precautions I enter the room and am talking to the patient for 20 minutes wearing just a regular surgical mask. AND THEN a nurse enters the room and tells me it’s a Covid room and I actually needed full precautions:

#mylife #Dawg I’m immunocompromised why would you do this to me 🙏#When I’m told that I would’ve needed an n95 and full get up by the patients nurse I was like #Wait the door didn’t have any listed precautions??? And she was just like yeah we haven’t put them up yet 🤗#In a Covid + pneumonia room just a surgical mask when km not allowed in those rooms at all is so flaw #covid 19

"If a pig catches both a human influenza A virus and an avian influenza A virus at the same time, it can spark a process known as viral reassortment — a genetic exchange in which flu viruses swap gene segments." "Those swaps can introduce dramatic changes, producing a new virus with certain properties of a non-human strain coupled with the capacity to infect and spread between people." "The death rate in humans may be upwards of 50 per cent, World Health Organization data suggests, though it's possible that milder infections are getting missed, skewing the case fatality ratio. Still, in a population that's never been exposed, the global impacts could be dire." "More human cases could also be happening under the radar among farm workers who've moved to the U.S. from abroad, don't speak English as their first language, and may be hesitant to seek medical help, he added." "So I think there's probably underreporting on both sides," Armstrong said." "If [H5N1] gets into a population where there's constantly animals going in and out … it might not ever leave."

I've been watching this develop for the past several days, and apart from being terrified most people will not take this seriously (I've seen a handful of people already shout conspiracy on social media and it's alarming to see, as always). What I wanted to point out is that pandemics are going to continue to be our 'normal.' I watched a great video on YouTube a while ago (I believe it was by Vice?) that touched base on how this is going to become our new reality because of multiple factors (such as our proximity to animals, and environments/etc). It was when Covid hit and they did a piece debunking some of the misinformation floating on the internet. If I can find it I will post it here because it was informative and relevant to pretty much any world crisis we will see around any virus that spreads among a human population.

This post isn't trying to fear monger anyone, I just hope more people are aware of what is happening because this is important to talk about. There are already cases (of cows getting this bird flu) in the US, and I won't be surprised if there will be instances in more countries around the world. As usual, keep washing your hands/keeping good hygiene practices, masking up (and if you aren't I hope you consider it), and taking precautions if you do happen to visit/work or go near a pig or poultry farm too:

I'll keep track of this here of course, but please stay informed folks. And also FU to any governments who will try to minimize this or try to diminish the severity until it's too late and community spread happens like Covid because their actions are influenced by capitalistic interests.

Update (April 7th, 2024, 9:32pm EST): to anyone wondering where some of the source information originates from -here is a link to the CDC. They are tracking documented avian virus outbreaks in the US and the public can access it here:

Losing Corey

Yes, I see how dirty the bottoms of my shoes are. I might have been walking a bit by this time, but it’s more likely that the shoes, like the clothes, were hand-me-downs. I have no idea what was so fascinating over to the side. Two years ago Sunday, I lost my first best friend. My brother Corey, four years older, was the closest to my age, and I spent probably the first two years of my life…

The sardonic, reductionist headline here could be "Scientists finally figured out why you get more colds in winter: bEcAuSe iT's CoLd!"—but the actual science involved here is both interesting, and potentially very relevant to everyday life and especially the immunocompromised:

It turns out the cold air itself damages the immune response occurring in the nose. [...] In fact, reducing the temperature inside the nose by as little as 9 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) kills nearly 50% of the billions of virus and bacteria-fighting cells in the nostrils, according to the study published Tuesday in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. “Cold air is associated with increased viral infection because you’ve essentially lost half of your immunity just by that small drop in temperature,” said rhinologist Dr. Benjamin Bleier, director of otolaryngology at Massachusetts Eye and Ear and an associate professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston.

Want to avoid catching or spreading respiratory viruses like CoVid-19, RSV, influenza, or a common cold? Mask up, please, but also bundle up! Wrap up in a scarf, wear a balaclava, and just generally keep your face warm. There's no single magic solution, but that's not a reason to do nothing. Rather, it's a reason to take several simple precautions that help avoid the spread of disease and protect those around you. (I can't tell you how much "this isn't 100% effective so I shouldn't do it at all" frustrates me.)

Oh, and #knitblr? This is your time to shine.
