“Exposure to respiratory viruses before a baby’s first birthday — when immune systems are immature and before most childhood vaccinations — consistently predicted reduced earnings, education and health decades later.”

I would like to join the chorus of CC voices saying: If you are not masking and avoiding infections... It shows. You may not realize, but your sharpness, your compassion, your humanity... Is declining. It is not too late to turn the brain damage trian around. #MaskUp.

Every time someone asks me “how much longer are you planning on masking”, I reply with “how many more times are you planning on getting covid?”. Stay strong 💪 #CovidIsNotOver #MaskUp #todavialuchando

I realized recently that Germany has a database with -all hospital admissions (any cause) -by diagnostic code -by outcome incl death The death rate among admissions for SARI (severe acute resp infx: J9-22) shows something much more severe hit Germany in 2020 What could it be?🤔

One reason you believe people are “crazy” for taking COVID precautions is because you don’t know how sick people are treated by society and the medical system. You think nothing bad will happen to you and you’ll be taken care of by medical professionals but you’re mistaken.

The excess deaths look horrific in this graph & it's worse than at 1st glance. Rather than a linear extrapolation (dashed line), expected deaths in later years should get lower b/c of so many early-pandemic deaths ("harvesting"). 👇This is an underestimate. 😬 #StillDying

Maar dat betekent niet dat de oversterfte is opgehouden ten opzichte van wat je in 2019 zou verwachten! CBS berekent geen oversterfte meer, en RIVM gaat vrolijk verder t.o.v. 2024! Vreemd.. @rubenivangaalen @mzelst @mkeulemans mis ik hier iets?

As A Doctor, I Don’t Fear Covid As I Once Did. Or Cholera. Or Ebola. Or Anything At All, Actually, Come To Think Of It. I Wonder If Something Has Damaged The Part Of My Brain That Handles Risk Assessment.

WHO rep: ‘Significant uncertainty’ about how far Ebola has spread. There are at least 500 suspected cases, including 130 deaths, so far in the outbreak. Read more: ow.ly/4A5z50Z1S22 📷: World Bank/Vincent Tremeau/Flickr cc

It's widely accepted that hantavirus transmits from rodent excreta to humans via inhalation of aerosolized virus, so I don't understand why we're so reluctant to acknowledge the inhalation route for human-to-human transmission. nytimes.com/2026/05/14/healt…

Maskenlose Menschen, die uns seit 2022 eine Angststörung andichten, haben Angst vor einer neuen Pandemie, während wir ganz entspannt sind. Ich lache mehr, als ich sollte.

Ach, schau an. Die hohen krankheitsbedingten Fehlzeiten seit 2022 sind gar nicht auf die Einführung der E-Krankschreibung zurückzuführen, sagt das @DIW_Berlin. Sondern auf einen sprunghaften Anstieg der Atemwegserkrankungen. Wer hätte das ahnen können? 1/4 diw.de/de/diw_01.c.1008121.d…

🚨BMJ Opinion: “Hantavirus outbreak should reset WHO’s default approach to airborne risk” “For pathogens with documented person-to-person spread […], the initial assumption should be AIRBORNE risk unless and until evidence supports easing back.” bmj.com/content/393/bmj.s919

Excellent and thoughtful thread that lays out the issues. There’s a gap that’s opened up between what PH is saying and what it’s doing that an emergent pathogen could drive a truck through. If it could drive a truck.
Last week, I thought the pandemic potential for ANDV was small Infinitesimally small Less than 1%

The irony of hearing experts now say hantavirus isn't like Covid because it's not as airborne ("not like Covid where you could [past tense - sic] be infected just from being in a room that had virus."

„Atemwegserkrankungen verursachten damit fast 70 Prozent mehr Arbeitsausfall als noch fünf Jahre zuvor“ Warum wird SARS-CoV-2 ignoriert? Warum gibt es in Schulen, Kitas & am Arbeitsplatz keine Infektionsprävention?

The concept of having Hantavirus onboard the Hantavirus cruise and getting told you have anxiety
"A French woman who tested positive for hantavirus after she was evacuated from a cruise ship reported symptoms to doctors onboard but was told it was probably just anxiety, the Spanish health minister has said." Or course. theguardian.com/world/2026/m…

Risk comes with not following the precautionary principle. Go hard & go early will work for everything & is the least painful in the long run. Act as if everyone is infectious, & all forms of transmission applicable. When we see that's not happening, it's cause for concern.
