U.S. politics is reaching peak paranoia

The paranoid style begins with a simple proposition: The world is divided between good and evil.

Pandemic Diary: Just a Box of Rain

Across the Global South, the food- and energy-price shock triggered by the conflict in the Middle East has morphed into a debt shock that demands an urgent international response. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/06/17/world/iran-war-global-debt-shock/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #middleeast #globalsouth #covid19 #us #africa #un #unctad #imf #iran #worldbank #debt #globaleconomy #oil
The Iran war and the global debt shock it fueled

Once again, a global crisis is disproportionately burdening countries that did not cause it.

Another post on just how low #COVID19 levels are in US wastewater, per WastewaterSCAN. Here are the COVID levels for June 11 (PMMoV):

2022: 315.3
2023: 116.4
2024: 289.3
2025: 112.3
2026: 13.27

We have to go back five years, to June 11, 2021, to find a lower reading (10.19). That was months after a massive vaccination campaign (almost half were fully vaccinated) and when over 1/3 of people were still masking at work or school (doi:10.1080/14760584.2022.2104251).

STUDY: The odds of getting Long #COVID19 increased "with older age, female sex, Black racial identity, earlier variant, non-vaccination, lower pre-infection self-reported mental and cognitive health, and number of pre-infection symptoms... It was less likely for participants with no common long COVID symptoms occurring before infection."

Long COVID risk by pre-infection symptoms and functional status: A retrospective cohort study of data from the All of Us Research Program

Importance Over seven million U.S. adults experience persistent health issues after COVID-19, known as “long COVID”. Although multiple guidelines recommend the inclusion of functional status in long COVID diagnostic criteria, more evidence is needed to guide this recommendation. This study explored the adjusted odds of developing long COVID by pre-infection symptoms and functional status, and the feasibility of estimating functional status using health records data. Design & Methods Retrospective cohort study of U.S. adults with history of COVID-19 enrolled in a multicenter national cohort study through July 2022 (All of Us Controlled Tier CDR 7.0), using diagnostic, procedure, and billing codes from the health record, and baseline survey responses. The risk of long COVID was estimated using logistic regression by pre-infection (−5 years) incidences of (a) at least one symptom common in long COVID, and (b) functional impairment, and adjusted for disease and demographic characteristics. Results n = 65,464 met inclusion criteria; n = 40,655 had post-infection occurrences of at least one symptom (long COVID group), n = 24,809 had none (recovered). Adjusted odds ratios of developing long COVID increased with older age, female sex, Black racial identity, earlier variant, non-vaccination, lower pre-infection self-reported mental and cognitive health, and number of pre-infection symptoms. Adjusted odds were not significantly affected by any single pre-infection symptom, self-rated physical ability, or EHR-derived indicators of prior functional impairment. Conclusions In this model, there were no significant differences in risk of long COVID based on either pre-infection total incidences of long COVID symptoms (compared to the average of 4) or pre-infection functional impairment. This suggests that long COVID was associated with a change from baseline functioning and health, including in people with pre-infection incident symptoms and functional impairments. The impacts of co-occurring pre-infection symptoms requires further investigation. Both harmonized electronic health records data and patient-reported outcomes contribute important data for developing the diagnostic utility of functional status changes in long COVID.
