Five straight weeks with no #COVID deaths reported in #NYC. And we're down to 105 cases of the #flu, 60 #COVID19 cases and 15 cases of #RSV citywide reported the week ending May 23!
I'm enjoying the break, singing with my neighborhood Singers' Club and sitting in crowded air-conditioned cafes. But #COVIDIsNotOver so I still #WearAMask in pharmacies, doctors' offices, hospitals and nursing homes, and mirror when I see someone else #MaskUp!
As usual I wore a N95 mask on the flight home from the NYC work thing. Only saw three other people wearing masks at La Guardia.
Might need to keep doing it in the house as I seem to have become less tolerant of the cats while I was away. Hope I get used to them again soon.
Grupo para personas compasivas y radicales que siguen luchando contra la eugenesia
https://linktr.ee/AutoDefensaSanitaria_
Los fundamentos de la AutoDefensa Sanitaria se basan en una postura antifascista y anticapitalista en la lucha contra la eugenesia. No se trata solo de “llevar una mascarillas”, sino de combatir todas las formas de violencia. Para nosotros, el análisis político es necesario porque, si no comprendemos la política de la discapacidad, estamos condenados a culpar a los oprimidos de las opresiones que sufren.
Este es un grupo con un enfoque compasivo y radical. Ya existen suficientes grupos que avergüenzan a quienes no usan mascarilla y culpan a los oprimidos por su opresión. Este no es uno de esos grupos.
"Creemos en la humanidad. No es cierto que la mayoría de las personas sean egoístas, malas, estúpidas, ignorantes o renuentes a aprender. La mayoría de las personas no saben lo que está sucediendo, o se sienten impotentes para detenerlo, o ambas cosas.
Una gran mayoría de las personas que han dejado de tomar precauciones contra el Covid lo han hecho porque han sido engañadas, porque están agotadas y porque estamos en un vacío de información.
Estamos pidiendo esencialmente a las personas que desconfíen de las decisiones y evaluaciones de todos los que les rodean, así como de lo que sus ojos y oídos les están diciendo. Les estamos pidiendo que se den cuenta de que su antigua vida ha desaparecido para siempre. Esto es pedir mucho. Es la mayor petición posible. Además, la gente no puede entender cómo podría ser cierto.
Tenemos que encontrar una manera de construir una rampa de acceso, de "integrar" a las personas en esta realidad a la que todos nos hemos acostumbrado tanto. Tenemos que recordar que estamos pidiendo mucho. Todo esto nos parece normal ahora, y nos hemos acostumbrado (de alguna manera). Nuestras mitigaciones reflejan la verdad, y son las cosas correctas que hacer. Pero estamos pidiendo a las personas que cambien sus vidas enteras de una manera muy seria. Ya no se trata solo de mascarillas, en este punto. Es todo."

Group For Compassionate and Radical Covid Conscious People
https://linktr.ee/HealthSelfDefense_
The foundations of Health Self-Defense are based on an anti-fascist and anti-capitalist stance in the fight against eugenics. It's not just about "wearing a mask" but about fighting against all forms of violence. For us, a political analysis is necessary because if we don't understand the politics of disability, we are condemned to blame the oppressed for the oppressions they suffer.
-This is a group with a compassionate and radical approach to COVID. There are already enough groups that shame people for not wearing masks and blame the oppressed for being oppressed. This is not one of those groups.
"We believe in humanity. It is not true that most people are selfish, bad, stupid, ignorant, or unwilling to learn. Most people do not know what is going on, or feel powerless to stop it, or both.
A great majority of people who have stopped taking Covid precautions have done so because they have been misled, because they are exhausted, and because we are in an information vacuum. Governments are downplaying Covid’s continued existence and evolution.
We are asking people, essentially, to distrust the choices and assessments of everyone around them, as well as what their eyes and ears are telling them. We are asking them to realize their old life is gone forever. This is a huge ask. It is the hugest possible ask. On top of that, people cannot fathom how it could be true.
We have to find a way to build an on-ramp, to essentially “onboard” people into this reality we’ve all gotten so used to. We have to remember that we are asking a lot. All of this is normal to us now, and we’ve gotten acclimated (somehow). Our mitigations reflect the truth, and they are the right things to do. But we are asking people to change their entire lives in a very serious way. It’s not just masks, at this point. It’s everything."

The Long-COVID Crisis: No Cure, Little Attention
“Long COVID was recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) nearly 6 years ago; you can’t say there is no definition!” said Pauline Oustric, president of the association #AprèsJ20 Association COVID Long France. “Yet we still see denial and a tendency to psychologize this disease.”

Long COVID Linked to Brain Changes, Cognitive Decline
New imaging research suggests that changes in the brain after COVID may contribute to cognitive decline similar to early stages of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and may be predictive of dementia risk, based on data from more than 200 individuals.

Clinical Implications
Despite the increasing development of diagnostic questionnaires and therapeutic approaches, Gogoll and Scheibenbogen emphasized that one key issue remains underrecognized: the need to destigmatize long COVID. Because clinical findings are often unremarkable, symptoms are often attributed to psychological causes. Physicians were urged to take individuals seriously, ensure interdisciplinary care, and pursue further training in PAIS.

Biologic Evidence May Reshape Long-COVID Diagnosis and Care
Long COVID does not have a primarily psychosomatic cause, according to the AWMF S1 guideline for Long/Post-COVID.
Psychological comorbidities, including anxiety and depression, should be described as reactive consequences rather than causal factors.
Treatment is symptom oriented and follows a biopsychosocial framework.
Distinguishing PEM from fatigue is critical, with pacing maintained within individual energy limits to prevent symptom worsening.
