The PNW has had high COVlD levels for approximately 2 months. If someone does not regularly mask outdoors, a large gathering during a surge would be a wise time to do so. In surges, the odds of *multiple* infectious people in close proximity increases.

Outdoor *crowds* are often super spreader events and the PNW has been in a big surge for a while now. It’s weird that people are so averse to recognize this. Somehow everyone understood the concept of mitigating airborne disease in 2020 and 2021

An unseen tsunami. In German insurance claims data, people with a coded post-COVID diagnosis had on average 26.5 more sick-leave days in the first year (46 vs 20) and 6.9 more outpatient doctor visits than comparable people after COVID without that diagnosis🧵

The number of stories I am hearing about Long Covid is mind-blowing. A few weeks back, we had work done on our chimney and the person who did the work told me his full story of Covid and Long Covid. Yes he admitted to having Long Covid. It is so sad to see what's happening.

Low-dose naltrexone (4mg) shows promise for Long COVID. A Stanford study of 230 patients found fewer symptoms and improvements in fatigue, brain fog, sleep and post-exertional crashes after 3+ months. Promising results, but without a comparison group, benefits remain unproven.

Human neural stem cells are vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2, like Omicron. Research found blocking one entry pathway cut viral entry by 75–85%. Maternal infection may disrupt fetal brain development, risking long-term cognitive or behavioural issues. Monitoring exposed kids is critical.

I’m joining the team at @X to lead Product. I am a huge believer in @SpaceX's mission to extend human consciousness to the stars, so it’s time to make shitposting multiplanetary. X is the best way to find out what’s happening in the world right now and talk about it. The team has been working tirelessly to make X a better place and product for the people who love it, and many have noticed the recent momentum. My goal is to help accelerate that momentum for our community, new users, and businesses globally by continuing to make this product beautiful and useful. We are twenty years in, but it truly feels like X’s next chapter will be our greatest. I look forward to your ideas and feedback; I’m sure the replies will be measured and magnanimous.

68% of my students absent today. Covid rates in my area “very high.” There is also a surge of early flu cases, according to county public health! Multiple students emailed me to let me know they are sick, or their dependents are sick so they are staying home to care for them. 😬

The preliminary observations at the San Pedro tide gauge reported 8.02 feet this morning, which is an all-time record (records going back to November 1923). The previous record was 7.93 feet set on 01/10/2005. Slightly higher tides are possible tomorrow.

None of us are ready for what's coming. Not one of us! The people who think climate change is something we can deal with later need to wake up. Later is already here. 📍 Mapasingue Oeste, north-west Guayaquil, Ecuador.

This is exactly the scenario that @DrFiliatrault, @TRyanGregory and I warned about in a Scientific American article last summer: scientificamerican.com/artic… We weren’t the only ones. This is such a predictable disaster unfolding in slow motion.

The Next Flu Pandemic Could Be Worse Than Covid If We Don't Heed History

COVID and the 1918 flu pandemic gave us playbooks on how to prepare for the next pandemic. But we aren’t using it.
