“This is survivorship bias in action.
Those visibly unwell aren’t in your social feeds, they’re out of work, at home, in hospital, or dead.
You don’t see the dropouts, breakdowns, or subtle cognitive slips.
You see what’s left: the people still functioning. For now.”
“They told us COVID would become “mild.” They didn’t say it’d be mildly destroying organs one infection at a time like a chill little horror movie. “Back to normal” means: No paid sick days No clean air Not a mask in sight”
Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong Issues Urgent Warning: COVID-19 is Not Just a Respiratory Virus—It’s Like cancer
"This virus has beaten us."
“WHY SARS-CoV-2 REMAINS the MOST DANGEROUS VIRUS of ALL TIME ? (🧵 mega-thread)”
“Viruses like HIV and CMV don’t just evade immunity - they reshape the host from within. One way they do it? By targeting the cell’s ability to make proteins. SARS-CoV-2 belongs in this group. It interferes with how ribosomes are made and used. What that means - and why it matters 🧵”
Stratus causes a hoarse voice
The XFG and XFG.3 variants currently account for around 30 percent of Covid-19 cases in England
“Given the number of times this has happened already, it should come as little surprise that we’re now faced with yet another new subvariant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID.
This new subvariant is known as XFG (nicknamed “Stratus”) and the World Health Organization (WHO) designated it a “variant under monitoring” in late June. XFG is a subvariant of Omicron, of which there are now more than 1,000.”
“Did you know SARS-CoV-2 uses the tetraspanin CD9 - the same membrane protein exploited by HIV - to infect human cells? No, SARS-CoV-2 isn’t HIV. But this surprising similarity reveals just how sophisticated this virus really is. Let’s explore🧵”
