Analysis reveals global post-covid surge in infectious diseases
“large post-covid global surge in common communicable diseases including influenza, measles, tuberculosis, and whooping cough has been identified in a new analysis of data from 60 organisations and public health agencies.
Since the beginning of 2022, 44 countries have experienced a 10-fold increase in the incidence of at least one of 13 infectious diseases compared with a pre-pandemic baseline, according to the analysis”
I truly think it would be useful for the public to understand “what, exactly, were this project’s stated goals?”
“So one can only conclude that the CDC purposefully redesigned their COVID graphic to downplay the severity and reduce attention paid to the —by far— number one cause of death by infectious disease.
Why? What purpose does this suppression serve?”
COVID activity is high, but Canada not 'remotely close' to worst days of the pandemic: experts
“I don’t think the majority of scientists who were looking at this early in 2020 or at the end of 2019 expected that, four years later, we’d be dealing with unrelenting waves of variants, which are immune evasive…
…We haven’t seen a widely distributed virus in recent human history that has had this property.”
“I don’t think the majority of scientists who were looking at this early in 2020 or at the end of 2019 expected that, four years later, we’d be dealing with unrelenting waves of variants, which are immune evasive,” Razak said.

Covid-19 was presented as a one and done infection, that ‘only’ killed the vulnerable, that didn’t harm kids, that was spread by droplets not air.
“Covid-19 was presented as a one and done infection, that ‘only’ killed the vulnerable, that didn’t harm kids, that was spread by droplets not air. That vaccines would prevent. Now NONE of the above are true, we are floundering in denial with no plan. Covid is not over.”
U.S. to resume mandatory reporting of COVID hospitalizations
“Hospitals in the United States will soon be required to report hospital admissions related to COVID-19, restoring a mandate which was lifted earlier this year, according to federal officials. The new rules are due to take effect on November 1.”
Declaring COVID-19 “endemic,” Biden administration oversees policy of forced mass infection
“The United States is currently mired in its ninth wave of mass infection since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the population now completely abandoned by the powers that be. A policy of forced infection has emerged, in which all public health measures have been scrapped and the most basic protection of mask-wearing is being criminalized in a growing number of counties and states.
Wastewater data show that over 1.2 million Americans are being infected with COVID-19 every day. Hospitalizations are climbing, in particular among children and the elderly, while official deaths are approaching 1,000 per week. Excess deaths, a more accurate measure of the real death toll attributable to COVID-19, stand at over 500 per day, with the cumulative death toll in the US nearing 1.5 million. Long COVID, an array of symptoms which are often debilitating, now affects over 20 million Americans and over 400 million people globally.”
File this under covid yikes, the North Toronto wastewater data is not wrong.
“We are in a surge that rivals the original omicron surge.”
It's staggering how many people have been killed by COVID worldwide
“The Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, has a mass of around 500,000 metric tons. To match 1.69 million metric tons (the estimated weight of all the bodies of those excess deaths due to the pandemic), you would need around 3.4 Burj Khalifas.”
Dangerous garbage being presented “science writing”. Two *actual* facts surrounding infection:
“Your risk of #LongCOVID, a currently incurable chronic illness, after surviving an acute COVID infection currently sits conservatively at ~6-7%”
I genuinely thought there might be a momentary lull between the summer and autumn waves this year here.
“I genuinely thought there might be a momentary lull between the summer and autumn waves this year here. But no. There's tons of infections around, and XEC (which seems to be able to reinfect due to the T22N mutation on the spike, growth below) is not hanging around.”
Cryptosporidiosis was one of the original AIDS-defining conditions.

Covid levels right now:
September 2, 2024 Covid levels
2,102 people in S’pore have died from Covid-19 since start of pandemic to June 2024: MOH | The Straits Times
Singapore: just 2,102 people have died from C-19 from 2020-2024 - the ENTIRE pandemic so far.
That many people have died in the U.S. in the past two WEEKS.
The two main takeaways from this graph are the following:
Overall, fewer than 20% of COVID-19 deaths are being reported in these public places in all provinces (a bit higher in Quebec in fall/winter season, but not much).
Provinces are only reporting 20% of COVID deaths, that would mean that Alberta's 735 deaths in the last 12 months is actually around 3675. Which would be by far the #1 cause of death.
US record-keeping is similarly limited/skewed
If you want to make an ordinary COVID transmission map less informative, just adjust the hue by -150 in PhotoShop to turn scary red to calming blue.
Ontario dropped wastewater testing early, with no plan for feds to step in: documents
Ontario ended its wastewater testing program earlier than planned this summer, despite having funding in place until the end of September.
Omission is Negligence
New Brunswick Public Health knew early on that Covid-19 infection causes long term illness, but decided not to tell anyone.

Long COVID Clinical Evaluation, Research and Impact on Society: A Global Expert Consensus
Long COVID Clinical Evaluation, Research and Impact on Society: A Global Expert Consensus
Background: Long COVID is a complex, heterogeneous syndrome affecting at least one hundred million people globally.
Only 33% of hospitals in the U.S. submitted COVID data this week, which is similar to last week but down from 91% in May. This means actual case numbers and hospitalizations are substantially higher than reported.

Nearly half of COVID-19 survivors in Africa experiencing Long COVID symptoms, study suggests
Nearly half of COVID-19 survivors in African countries report ongoing symptoms, with fatigue being the most common.
Up to 25% of patients experience mental health issues like PTSD and anxiety, which African health systems are unprepared to address.

Great thread:
Column: Stanford throws a party for purveyors of misinformation and disinformation about COVID
“Most of its participants have been associated with discredited approaches to the COVID pandemic, including minimizing its severity and calling for widespread infection to achieve herd immunity. Some have been sources of rank misinformation or disinformation. Advocates of scientifically validated policies are all but absent.”

Quebec COVID-19 summer wave more lethal than last year's
“Quebec’s summer COVID-19 wave has proved to be far deadlier than last year’s, defying expectations that the virus that causes it is somehow growing milder, suggest the latest Health Ministry figures.”

BREAKING: Up to 50% of Americans Expected to Be Infected in Current COVID-19 Wave.
“BREAKING: Up to 50% of Americans Expected to Be Infected in Current COVID-19 Wave.
The current COVID-19 wave in the U.S. has resulted in approximately 24.3% of Americans being infected since May 2, and around 19.3% since the surge began on June 23.”
New data shows long Covid is keeping as many as 4 million people out of work
Approximately 16 million working-age Americans (aged 18 to 65) have long Covid today.
Of those, 2 to 4 million are out of work due to long Covid.
The annual cost of those lost wages alone is around $170 billion a year (potentially as high as $230 billion).
Not. The. Flu. Not. Mild. NOT. OVER.
Actually, Democrats, Covid DOES continue to rule our lives.
