More good news about COVID vaccines!
https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/covid-vaccination-may-protect-household-members
"COVID-19 patients who were vaccinated against the virus were much less likely to infect household members than unvaccinated patients"
"…household contacts of patients vaccinated in the past six months were 43% less likely to test positive than household contacts of unvaccinated sick people, the study shows"
This effect was not found if the vaccine was more than 7 months ago.
If anyone is planning to get a spring Covid vax, I recommend to inquire with your pharmacy to find out what your options are, sooner than later. Mine has a dwindling supply of doses but many are expiring at the end of this month and they didn't know when more would be available (bc of course they don't). So I got #Novavax #Nuvaxovid
Does anyone have links for FFP2/N95 mask covers that do not come from the US and are sold from places that aren't amazon? Etsy is being miserly
I might be really late to the game with this realisation but I think I figured something out today. I think wearing a mask makes most people feel unsafe, even though it's making them safer in reality, and they'd rather be unsafe than feel unsafe.
I think that's why they say things like they don't want to live in fear, or they don't want to life life behind a mask. They feel afraid when they mask. Maybe it reminds them there's something to be scared of?

I would never say "lockdowns caused problems for mental health," because our capitalist democratic governments caused all the problems with their "get them infected" necropolicies.

Sadly, they're reporting 5 #COVID deaths the week ending May 2, so we can't say there were zero deaths in #NYC in April. But there were zero #COVID19 deaths for four straight weeks, from March 29 through April 25!
COVID cases are also down below 8 per lakh per day, the lowest in three years. #RSV and #flu cases are all down as well, though they're not yet at the summer baselines yet!
#COVIDIsNotOver so I still #WearAMask in pharmacies, doctors' offices, hospitals and nursing homes!
