Well well well. I am getting asked about Hantavirus now by people who stopped paying attention to Covid a long time ago.

They are very worried. I tell them, "I hate to break this to you, but there are other things still going around that you should be more worried about."

They know that I'm still wearing masks, so they ask where they can get those. And they want to know about "good" masks. And how they work, and how often to change them.

I tell them that I haven't been sick since 2019. They ask if I've had Covid, and I say "Not that I'm aware of, but you can get it and not have symptoms." Then they tell me about the "one time" they had Covid, because their Covid brains have made them forget about all the other times that I've observed them getting Covid, and the multiple times they told me themselves that they had Covid.

Then they pause and fall silent. I worry that telling them they should be more worried about Covid will mean that instead of protecting themselves more, they will decide Hantavirus must not be so bad.

Work colleague reports that their kid can barely get out of bed but is going to power through school so they can play sportsball. This was said in the tone of someone doing something mildly naughty, like sneaking in snacks to the movie theater.

Two other colleagues have had unidentified respiratory things for going on over a week.

Surely I am just anxious though.

#WearAMask #COVIDIsNotOver

Je vois tout le monde dans mon entourage paniquer vis-à-vis de l'hantavirus, donc je profite de ce moment d'attention médiatique pour partager les trois seules mesures de prévention efficaces contre les virus respiratoires :
- porter un masque FFP2 dans les foules et les lieux fermés (un masque chirurgical ne suffira pas) et le changer régulièrement (toutes les quatre heures environ).
- aérer dix minutes toutes les heures, voir utiliser des purificateurs d'air si c'est possible pour vous.
- la vaccination ! (Quand elle est disponible)

Je vous conseille également de jeter un œil aux ressources de l'@arra qui sont bien plus calé-es que moi.

@simkern is one of the only people I've seen so clearly spell out exactly what kind of opportunity the closure of the #StraitofHormuz could be if we grasped it.

I never truly appreciated how deeply important blunt unapologetic reality straight-talk is to me till the world decided to pretend Covid is over and also "just the flu".
