It's great when people who are sick test for #SARSCoV2. But when they tell you not to worry because they tested negative: I don't want that other virus either!!! If you are sick with a respiratory illness: Stay at home & get some rest (for you and for others)
@EckerleIsabella That and the amount of people thinking that using a single rapid test means they don't have covid.
@EckerleIsabella I forgot to CW this, I uh, will remember that next time jklsfdaljkfdsajlkfd
@EckerleIsabella kann das gar nicht so sehr boosten wie ich gern würd

@EckerleIsabella

Absolutely!
Rhinoviruses are not fun either. No need to check it, did it myself past week and it sucks (after beeing healthy for more than 2 years).
Good thing: all my patients understood perfectly well why i did not work.

@EckerleIsabella + a rapid home test is at best an indication. Not a certitude.
@EckerleIsabella Exactly! I'm not keen on #influenza, #RSV or any of their buddies either.
And I think we particularly should protect #vulnerable people from all of these as well as we can.
@EckerleIsabella couldn’t agree more! Especially important in a work environment - colleagues working through a really bad cold always made me so sick. Fortunately I avoid a lot of it working from home!
@EckerleIsabella
Genau so. Stelle zudem vermehrt fest, dass nicht einmal mehr getestet wird und, auf die Schule bezogen, die Kinder/Jugendlichen krank geschickt werden, da man ja das Immunsystem trainieren müsse und Krankheiten im Kindes-/Jugendalter "gesund" seien.
Da frage ich mich schon, was bei manchen schief gelaufen ist, dass krank das neue gesund sein soll🤔
@EckerleIsabella and nobody tests with PCR voluntarily if there is no positive AG. I did when i had a cold lately, first anything in 3 years by the way, but who else does pay 80 € of his own money to act responsible? Negative AG, everything is fine for them, and after 3 days of symptoms no more testing because it cannot be Covid ….
@EckerleIsabella exactly. Going to work ill is a source of pride for many even now. Much corporate stigma around illness still.
@EckerleIsabella waiting for the day when we have a device at home that can tell us what illness we have
@EckerleIsabella 👍 In addition we should recognize. Japanese have been reacting responsibly for years, masks have not only been a standard in public since COVID-19, out of respect for fellow citizens. That's a cultural difference. It is a kind of courtesy, respect and responsibility for fellow citizens. It is inspiring to learn each other's cultures through an international marriage. Here we have something to learn. Masks definitely reduce that we spreading respiratory viruses.
@Tom_Huth @EckerleIsabella I have to agree we can learn a lot from the Japanese!
@Tom_Huth @EckerleIsabella When the pandemic hit I honestly thought our (german) society would learn a different take on infectious deseases. That masks and higher hygiene standards would get normal. In contrast it feels like a general "being sick is no issue if you are strong. If you are not "strong"... sorry, that is your personal problem". I really do not get it.
@suph @EckerleIsabella Yes, my impression too. We started well, but then we gave up. Not pretty. When we now hear how badly COVID-19 affects our bodies with every infection, it will only be a matter of time before society has to pay the toll. Namely, when we have to bear the burden of many long-term ill people.
Consideration and caution would be appropriate.
@EckerleIsabella
I cannot agree more with you on this one 💯 💯
@EckerleIsabella Ja, genau so. Ein Abschiedstweet mit Link hierher und gut ist. Wie hier z.B.: https://twitter.com/rasibo/status/1589199467538178049

@EckerleIsabella i often get asked why i still wear a mask. my father is elderly and in what may well be the last year of his life. him and others like him is why i wear a mask.

@EckerleIsabella THIS!

You might be tempted to think this was common sense. And then you meet people who tell you they think it's necessary to spread any disease to train your immune system.

This immunity debt theory has been promoted quite successfully 😒

@EckerleIsabella literally one of my professors the other day. She's coughing and hacking stuff up, and clearly trying to manage a very runny nose, and goes "don't worry, it's not covid" knowing damn well she still should've canceled class for the day lol :/
@EckerleIsabella Schlimm, dass man das exrta aufschreiben muss...
@EckerleIsabella I've been guilty of this behaviour, especially before covid, I'm trying to do better now, e.g. not go to work if I'm not feeling well

@EckerleIsabella so very much this. I really liked not getting the common crud every time my son came home from school the first two years of wide-spread masking.

We still have him mask in school but he's in the minority. We still mask indoors in public.

I don't want any of your respiratory crud, and I don't want to spread mine if I get something.

@EckerleIsabella hopefully all companies would understand that.
@EckerleIsabella yeah, nah don’t bring you influenza to the group!
‘A silent killer’ - COVID-19 shown to trigger inflammation in the brain

Research led by UQ has found COVID-19 activates the same inflammatory response in the brain as Parkinson’s disease.

@EckerleIsabella Ich weiß, dass das sinnvoll ist 🙈 Leider hat immer mindestens einer von uns Vieren seit August einen Infekt. Ich bin inzwischen im Krankengeld und die zwei Kinder sind alle paar Wochen mal ein paar Tage (natürlich nicht die gleichen) im Kindergarten. Ich arbeite jetzt in der Wiedereingliederung krank aus dem Homeoffice, da es mir seelisch gut tut zu arbeiten. Wir treffen Freunde nur mit deren Einverständnis und gehen einkaufen etc. nur mit FFP2 Maske 🤷‍♀️
@fliederalla @EckerleIsabella Fühle das so sehr! Wenn wir immer zuhause bleiben würden bei einem Infekt, hätten wir keine Jobs mehr. Aber wir tragen zumindest FFP2-Masken wie du. Das ist ein guter Kompromiss, finde ich.
