Überall beginnen die 5. Wellen, ein sich immer rascher wandelndes Virus ——— die Pandemie ist nicht vorbei, wir tun bloss so.

Wie schnell das Virus mutiert, wieviele im UK wegen #LongCovid ausfallen, ansteigende Fallzahlen in 44 Ländern.

Ich würd auch sagen, stay 6 feet back please.

"Please stay safe. Be ridiculous with being safe. I don't know what comes next, but I'm glad you're here with me for it. "

Das Covid19-Virus (wie es sich verbreitet hat und scheinbar nicht eindämmen liess) wäre an sich eine Systemkritik gewesen. Wir müssen unseren Lebenstil überdenken, Konsumverhalten, Mobilität, Industriefarming, Fleischkonsum, Tourismus etc pp.

Für die nächste Pandemie, die 100% sicher kommen wird, sind wir nicht gewappnet.

Es kann so nicht weitergehen.

Covid roundup is brutal this week. Cases are rising in 60 nations, brain fog from #LongCovid might have parallels to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and //cw suicide "Covid survivors were also almost 50% more likely to experience suicidal ideation than people who hadn’t had the virus".

"The very idea that there is some benefit from getting infected, i.e. gaining immunity from future infections, has now been shown to be incorrect. The opposite: an infection makes the next infection worse, not better."

Worldwide rise of BA.5 (the worst version of the virus, Topol), especially in Europe (and people will now travel all over the place for summer vacay), many kids will get #LongCovid plus possible cause of LongCovid discovered in Canada.

The pandemic is not over just because most governments decided it was and people have pandemic fatigue. Don't allow them to gaslight you into thinking differently.

Many people are still shielding from COVID – and our research suggests their mental health is getting worse

While the general public has become less anxious over the course of the pandemic, the opposite is true for vulnerable people who have been shielding, a new study suggests.

"While elites take every covid precaution possible when they meet with each other at the World Economic Forum, they go home and tell us that covid is no longer a threat, and the pandemic is over."

What kills me about the #WEF, drivers and staff are required to wear masks at all times, so the rich assholes can enjoy their mask-less photo-ops. While the rich elite lives in fancy hotels, staff and drivers live in close quarters, prone to get infected. What an image.

"Important cells of the immune system like Macrophages and T cells are committing suicide in the lungs after SARS Cov 2. Even cells that were never infected were doing so. None of the uninfected controls had suicidal cells."

Suicidal cells. What an image.
