Zhang et al. utilized a large real-world dataset from more than three million adults in the United States to compare the incident of kidney disease risks following COVID-19 and influenza infections. The study found that COVID-19 is associated with a higher risk of acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, and end stage renal disease than influenza.

This woman on the #subway was doing her best to be helpful. I'd taken off my K(N)-95-style #respirator & #FaceShield, to mop down the sweat. After reconstructing, she tapped my elbow and said I shouldn't have put that mask back on, it fell to the floor (5 second rule). She offered me another #mask (more later). I said I'm not worried about stuff I get from the floor, I'm worried about #airborne stuff like #BirdFlu and #measles. She shook her head, wearing a useless "surgical style" mask. #NYC

Besides the flu, bird flu, COVID, and RSV, we are seeing a surge in the winter stomach bug. Unlike the former airborne stuff, the norovirus is spread more by touch so hand washing is back in style!

NY joins five other states in reinstating mask use in hospitals. In the NYC area, pertussis or whooping cough is making a comeback. Hospitalizations nationwide for flu, RSV, COVID are way up.

#masking will officially be optional in most patient care areas starting Monday, April 10, but here is a look at today's #COVID19 community transmission map where I'm located.

I'm going to keep wearing my #mask & #faceshield, because kids breathe and sneeze on me, and having only one (really horrible) URI in three years is some thing that is much better than having one every three months when I have an underlying condition

@Lorrrraaaaine @biomimic okay I absolutely love that this was invented. Seems like the ultimate protection. Only thing I would suggest you do is swap the cloth mask for an #N95 or possibly even a #P100 but other than that, smart thinking. And I think it looks great on you too! #mask #airfiltration #WearAMask #bringbackmasks #faceshield #helmet #fullfacemask #covidisntover #COVIDisAirborne #covidmask #ppe

I was at the supermarket. After about 5 minutes walking around I was... *gasp!* I don't have my #faceshield! I left it in the car!! 😳 (Normally the security guard at the door would point it out and ask people to wear face shields.)

I looked around and noticed a good number of people also did not have #faceshields on.

Then I remembered. The authorities did* talk about relaxing restrictions. Our #covid19 numbers have been going down. Plus, some cities have reached #vaccination goals. 😃👍

I wasn't planning on going out for another 2~3 weeks, but big bro tells me I got an errand to do on Monday morning.

Well, that's a good excuse to go out and sport my #covid #quarantine #fashion. 🧢😷🛡️

I kinda like my #antivirus style, but seriously it's never fun walking about with a plastic sheet in front of your face. It affects visibility. Just a tad bit. Still. It ain't fun.

And my reward for my effort shall be... #Starbucks! 😜
