#Pandemic is over

It's … actually #endemic is local … so it's #PanEndemic

I wish my country could have stayed in our bubble

Bondi massacre killed 16

But the #SafelyReopen massacre killed over 20,000

"What has ended is not the #pandemic, but any acknowledgement by the political and media establishment that #COVID19 remains a major threat. There is zero political commitment to even the meager combination of mitigation, surveillance and data-gathering. This was not and is not an oversight. It is a decision to conceal the ongoing harm that is affecting the entire global population."

Sadly on the radical left only the fucking socialists of the wsws continue to care.

It finally hit me too. I haven't been sick in two years, but now it is my turn. This thing triggered a killer migraine and fever through the night, and now I just feel like shit, too tired to do anything, throat's wrecked, brain fog, and chills like it's freezing indoors. Everything hurts.

Take care of yourself out there.

"Cases will continue to rise until the influenza season peaks, likely in late December or early January. Most people will recover from influenza on their own. People with severe symptoms or other medical conditions should seek medical care."

What the U.S. Government Is Dismissing That Could Seed a Bird Flu Pandemic

To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines. The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback. Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: “The minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.”

NCHS estimates of #LongCovid—based on Household Pulse Survey.

Census never published data for October and December of 2024, after posting that they were "transitioning" to longitudinal data collection. To be clear, that was under the prior administration.

On the other hand, Census has updated historical population estimates. (As of May this year, population for January 2024 was estimated at 332 million. In June that estimate jumped to 338½ million.) Chart below represents these updated Census population estimates.

Hospital capacity data collection and reporting was ended under prior administration. Only Federal Reserve disability data continues to update.

they didn't drop mask mandates and end extended unemployment benefits because the pandemic was over.

they wanted us “back to normal” so that we would stop using collective power to demand justice, and lose the safety nets that had enabled more organized activism than we'd seen in our lifetimes.

if/when you stopped wearing a mask and taking other daily COVID precautions, you were used as a tool in the capitalist hierarchy of oppression.

A reminder that the #Covid #pandemic isn't over. Thousands are still infected & hospitalized every year. Deaths aren't the only possibility - millions are facing long-term disability from " #LongCovid", including #children. #Vaccines, #cleanair filtration, #respirator masks, & more help keep us safe.

"Writing in the Lancet medical journal in July, Heidi Larson, a professor of anthropology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, identified the US as the origin of so much of the 'pandemic of misinformation' and 'fringe narratives' that caused controversy during the Covid pandemic and appear to have gained even more traction since."

"For example, from 2019to 2021 the US acted as 'a major exporter of Covid-19 vaccine misinformation, with American accounts disproportionately represented as central hubs in global misinformation networks', she said. That influenced behaviour in countries as far away as Nigeria, Ghana and Bulgaria, contributing to reduced uptake of Covid and childhood vaccines."

"As a result, organisations such as the WHO and Gavi, the vaccines alliance, in their day-to-day work promoting vaccines 'are increasingly confronted by vaccine hesitancy grounded in exported disinformation, much of it directly traceable to American political discourse and media,' Larson said."
