Stuck in the Middle with Masking: Playing the Long Game in a Short-Sighted Age - WHN
“My identity as a healthy person had always been there—rooted in avoiding illness and protecting long-term well-being. But as the pandemic dragged on, that identity expanded, engulfing a broader view of what true health meant: seeing the bigger picture, understanding cumulative risk, and recognizing that preserving function over time is the real win.”

“It’s hard to grieve what hasn’t died. Friendships. Trust. Normalcy. They’re still there—just not the same. That’s called ambiguous loss. And it’s everywhere now.”

Federal cuts to COVID-19 funding hit California public health efforts hard - capradio.org

“Federal funding cuts related to COVID-19 on Monday are now sending California public health departments and organizations into a scramble.

The cuts target local programs for COVID-19 prevention. But it doesn’t all go to one cause — the funding also goes to epidemiology work related to other illnesses, like the avian flu.”

The Institutions Are Collapsing
The Institutions Are Collapsing

“This is what passes for medical care these days. Medical institutions are collapsing. Public health has collapsed. The people are sick because everyone has had covid on multiple occasions by now. And covid has trashed immune systems. Specifically, it supresses for months, sometimes even years, the T-cells that help us fight infections. This is no longer particularly controversial. Immunologists who argued about this at first are beginning to agree that yeah, something has changed.”

“Do you remember BA.3—the weakling cousin of BA.1 & BA.2 that seemed to take the worst from each & had weaker ACE2 binding than even the ancestral Wuhan Virus?

After 3 years, BA.3 is back.”

COVID Pandemic Fatigue Has Left the U.S. Vulnerable to New Threats
COVID Pandemic Fatigue Has Left the U.S. Vulnerable to New Threats
“I’m concerned today with pandemic defeatism—where rather than maintain systems prepared for another pandemic or continue combating COVID-19, we might be too quickly choosing to ignore the very real risks that are out there and instead throw up our hands, suggesting that there’s perhaps nothing we can do.”

Covid still a risk to vulnerable people - Essex matron says

“An NHS matron said that too often people were mistaking Covid for a common cold and a lack of testing could be putting vulnerable people at risk. Lana Goodwin, who works in Covid services at Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust in Billericay, Essex, said she believed people who were not high risk ‘feel that Covid has gone.’…Ms Goodwin said that her clinic had people testing positive for the virus every day and vulnerable people were ‘unfortunately still dying from Covid.’”

We may think we’re done with COVID-19, but COVID-19 is not done with us

“I am concerned that the sense of urgency about COVID-19 appears to have faded. The disease has not been discussed during the election season, even though it is an ongoing and developing public health threat. I believe this is a dangerous mindset. The reality is that COVID-19 remains a unique and deadly threat for many people — it is not just another respiratory virus, and should not be treated as such by our leaders.”
