U.S. COVID-19 Infection Risk 10.7 Times Higher Than in 2020
📢 Recent PMC Model analyses reveal that Americans are now 10.7 times more likely to contract COVID-19 compared to August 22, 2020, highlighting a significant increase in infection rates.
“The COVID-19 pandemic took that from me. Actually, that’s not quite right. It was the perceived “end” of the pandemic that really ruined my teaching career. I am immunocompromised and rely on medication to manage an autoimmune disease. This means vaccine protection from the virus is probably less effective for me than for most people. Also, my particular illness – Crohn’s, an inflammatory bowel disease – has been shown to put me at significantly greater risk than most for long COVID: a potentially chronic condition that can be very debilitating. And despite how it may seem, COVID circulates widely much of the year: We are still in a pandemic.”
“Covid disabled me, took away my entire life. Reinfection made me a lot sicker, twice. Experts warn about reinfection and covid isn't gone.
Yet nobody who comes to visit me masks or tests or even asks me what precaution they should take.”
Understatement: “…getting multiple Covid infections increases the chance of short- and long-term effects on the body, including the heart and lungs. So, even if we can’t totally eliminate our risk of catching it, it’s still worth trying to dodge Covid as best we can.”

“BREAKING: California's COVID-19 rates have surged to 14.7 percent, and wastewater viral loads have reached unprecedented and alarming record levels.”
The DNC just gaslit the entire country. There won’t be another segment on tv more detached from reality than this exchange on the Pandemic.
“4 years ago, this would’ve been a superspreader event. It feels really good to breathe air and see everyone’s smiling faces.”
Scotland ARHAI... "the clear inadequacy of the droplet/airborne dichotomy"
I think they just admitted all they wrote about pandemic transmission was wrong
New poll: 13% mask “all the time”
A new poll found 32% of Americans believe COVID is a “large or moderate” risk to their health but only 13% said they mask all the time, while 21% had taken an at-home test in the past week.
A study in Argentina found that 68% of the 2,030 health workers reported having #longcovid.
The highest risks were linked to severe initial symptoms, being a nurse, working multiple jobs, and working in emergency areas
BREAKING: Disability Rights New York has filed a class action lawsuit against Nassau County.
They are seeking a preliminary injunction and a temporary restraining order to stop enforcement of the mask ban in Nassau County.

So naturally we will never get it.
unlike limited and quickly waning efficacy of MRNA, “innovative vector vaccine developed at the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research (HZI) presents a compelling alternative. It elicits prolonged immune response in animal models, and maintains its efficacy over extended time.”
“The severity and frequency of Long COVID is purposely obscured from public discussion as part of a continued political effort to normalize constant COVID exposure.
People who take precautions to avoid COVID are making the wise decision to protect themselves and their families; they are also safeguarding their ability to work and earn money in a society that disposes of people who cannot produce. It is a rational decision; in the case of Long COVID patients, it is a necessary one.
It is also, admittedly, a very difficult lifestyle to adopt and maintain.”
