@geniusmusing I was just telling someone recently that the vaccines needed to be combined specifically because it is already too much hassle to juggle #coronavirus boosters and annual #influenza shots.
My understanding is that the current flu vax sometimes doesn't protect much. It depends whether they pick the right strains. Unless they figure out how to cover a larger variety of strains.

Rapid antigen tests have increase false negative rates versus the Omicron variant of #COVID-19 ... apparently, that strain of the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus has a sufficiently different protein coat that tests show reduced sensitivity.

Found a city-owned facility that offers #COVID-19 testing, so I'm going to head over there this morning. I think this is just a cold, but there are four people coming to the building tomorrow for a training class (despite it being closed due to the recent #coronavirus outbreak in #NYC) and I'm supposed to be there.
As @bthall said when we were discussing it over Wire, it is super weird to have that exception to "the building is closed and no one is allowed on-site". But there it is.

From the US Census: About 42% of US unvaccinated adults don't trust the #COVID-19 vaccines. https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/12/who-are-the-adults-not-vaccinated-against-covid.html [www census gov]
Also, unvaxxed tended to be younger, less educated, less likely to be married.

Someone from another building says they have had at least two #coronavirus cases in the past two weeks. The building manager is considering going 100% remote (that is, never returning to the building) and trimming to a skeleton staff.

Rapid antigen tests may not catch early #COVID-19 infections, even though patient is already contagious, spreading #SARS-CoV-2 particles in their breath.

> SARS-CoV-2 Induces cell death by apoptosis in neurons. A slow loss of neurons by this mechanism may be causing neurological features now been reported in Long-COVID.
This can cause enormous disabilities in long haulers (full paper below)

By the way, I told one of my brothers (works in public health) that I had burnt out on reading summaries of medical studies about #coronavirus and vaccines and treatments. He said he has to read some of it, but anything he can avoid reading, he avoids.

A friend shared that his GF was possibly exposed to #COVID-19 at work, but her $EMPLOYER is requiring her to come to work until she finds out that she is infected.
Me: That employer is _stupid_. In the two weeks or so that she waits to find out whether she has the #coronavirus, she could infect multiple other employees.

Ron Unz ran from Pete Wilson's right, repeatedly blasting him for things like raising taxes and fees during a recession.
With that in mind, I was prepared to read conspiracy theories about how the #coronavirus wasn't real, how it is less deadly than the flu, how the vaccines are absolutely the most dangerous thing every created, and how it is all a plot to replace our freedoms with a communist dictatorship headed by Mark Zuckerberg. I was pleasantly surprised that he's less driven by imaginary conspiracies and more by comparing results.

When did it become standard to refer to strains of the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus by Greek letter names? Suddenly, I started seeing Delta strain and not seeing names like B.1.1.7. What do they do when they run out of Greek letters?

#sonOne is trying to figure out what they’re going to do about school.
#GD2’s school is still giving them the option of remote learning, but #GD1’s school is not … and not enforcing masking and not upgrading the ventilation system to help remove microbes and viruses. As the younger daughter is too young to be vaccinated, he is not desirous of having the older daughter bring #COVID-19 home and infect her sister.
The disease itself is supposed to be milder with most younger patients, but there are reports of pretty serious post-COVID symptoms among under-10s.
