Participants infected with rhinovirus in the previous 30 days were at a 48% lower risk for COVID-19 (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.52). Among COVID-infected participants, recent rhinovirus infection was tied to a 9.6-fold lower SARS-CoV-2 viral load, or amount of virus in the body, an indicator of infection severity.
Rhinovirus infections [...] trigger increased expression of antiviral airway genes,
Higher pre-infection expression of 57 genes, including 24 antiviral defense genes, was linked to a lower SARS-CoV-2 viral load, with rhinovirus infection triggering expression of 22 of the antiviral genes. Children expressed higher levels of the antiviral gene signature and were at a 2.2-fold higher risk for rhinovirus infection than adults.
Sensitivity analyses suggested that, compared with more distant and asymptomatic rhinovirus infection, recent and symptomatic infections were associated with greater reductions in COVID-19 risk.
"Rhinovirus infections, which trigger increased expression of antiviral airway genes, are linked to a lower risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection," the study authors wrote. "Frequent rhinovirus infections may enhance this protective gene profile, partially explaining why children experience milder SARS-CoV-2 infections compared to adults."

These #PublicSafety #mandates had people protesting & being angry & refusing to adhere to them - like people complained about wearing masks to protect the community at large.
All those public safety mandate examples listed above also contributed to lowering the costs on our #PublicHeath systems because all of them were mandated as #preventative measures. When you're proactive with solid public safety, public health benefits too.
So does our economy.

Because of course. Now we have this 👇🏾

They don't care. In fact, likely one of their goals. #ProLifeMyAss "‘Petri dish for disease’: attorney raises alarm of possible Covid outbreak at ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ A respiratory disease is running rampant through Florida immigration jail, according to attorney of a detained person" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/12/attorney-covid-outbreak-alligator-alcatraz
I've been able to wear my glasses a fair amount recently because I haven't been at work and needing to mask, but now I'm back at work and I really hate masking for so many reasons. I don't miss it at all when I'm not doing it.
Yet here I am, masking away to keep you fuckers as safe as I can keep you. I'm not legally blind without my glasses or anything, I just get headaches. No big deal. Totally worth your ability to avoid a minor discomfort. Fucking people. #CovidIsNotOver

We're now into 2025 and frankly European FOSS Conferences still aren't great at considering public health and accessibility issues at Foss Conferences or gatherings.
So here's an example of a conference that does.
If you are trying to do better, put that information up front and center before you put the CFP out, and before you ask me to publicise it for you.
