The state is exploring heart testing for teen athletes because there have been a weird number of them collapsing and sometimes dying while doing sports.

Getting closer...

In #NYC as of March 21, counts of #RSV cases and emergency department visits continue to drop, and we've only seen 5 deaths from #COVID in all of February, and 5 in the first three weeks of March!

There are slight increases in cases and emergency department visits for #COVID19 and the #flu so that's something to watch out for.

#COVIDIsNotOver as long as people are going to hospitals and dying, so I still #WearAMask in elevators, trains, planes, buses, hospitals, pharmacies and supermarkets!

There are many viruses which cause the "common cold"; some of those are coronaviruses and mutate fast, which is why there's never been a vaccine for the cold and might never be

Cliffton really nailed it here.

(Meanwhile there are microbiological reasons for the shared high mutation rate, but I know I don't understand implications of https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-61555-x )

But this base fact is MULTIPLIED by two more things:

1) as jdm2 said the sheer number of hosts

corollary 1.A) Rare per person is not rare at pandemic billions-of-infections scale. People with rare one-in-a-million immune dysfunction can suffer long term SARS-CoV-2 infection and serial passage https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.09.14.21263564v2 . The mainstream hypothesis says that these conditions are the origin of variants containing large jumps of 20+ mutations at a time

2) the viral volume per host while contagious. (Note re-gaining contagiousness does rarely occur.). And to my understanding, it turns out that since SARS-CoV-2 is a vascular disease, and our bodies have blood vessels everywhere, there's a lot of viable host tissue; simultaneous to that it has a higher viral copy count than several other common viruses https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7476607/figure/fig2/

The mutational landscape of SARS-CoV-2 provides new insight into viral evolution and fitness - Nature Communications

Here, we report the mutation rate of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. We find that the secondary structure of the RNA-encoded viral genome is crucial to modulating the mutation rate and evolves under strong selective constraints.

This 'You do you' stuff went way too far during #Covid, and now apparently extends to gas leaks. 'You may choose to protect yourself, or not, we in government don't really care one way or the other.'

If you smell gas odors or you are in a sensitive group such as young children or elderly, you may choose to voluntarily shelter in place with doors and windows closed."

Attention #Illinois #USA people...
This is awesome, it's not updated on the ILGA site yet but this bill passed committee and is going to the state house of reps to vote.
You should call your IL statehouse rep and ask them to vote for SB3110 / HB4739 (Clean Air for Healthy Equitable Schools bill) and convince their colleagues to as well! This will help move towards making IL kids teachers and communities healthier. Once monitors are available it will increase awareness of the issue and open up the field to more parents, teachers, and students to have hard data to advocate for real change based upon.

Senate bill:
https://ilga.gov/Legislation/BillStatus?DocNum=3110&GAID=18&DocTypeID=SB&LegId=165729&SessionID=114
House bill: https://ilga.gov/Legislation/BillStatus?GAID=18&DocNum=4739&DocTypeID=HB&LegId=165856&SessionID=114&Print=1

If you don't know who that is, find them here https://www.elections.il.gov/electionoperations/districtlocator/districtofficialsearchbyaddress.aspx
