Well, in the Nordics we have ca 4-5 weeks "break" every 12 months, and also have days off during holidays and also maybe 1-2 weeks during Christmas and New Year. Called vacation. Mostly payed for by the employer. Maybe that is what many in US also would need.

Spoke to a friend today that tried to convince me that I can't continue living like I do now (masking, isolating etc) forever since I miss so much. Well the truth is I can. Not that hard to mask. Sure, family and children will not happen because wrong country, and I will miss a lot of events like lunch with friends and colleagues indoors. But people don't understand we are in this for the long game. Damages are already fairly evident around. People are slower, more irritated and ill.

Isn't Kaliningrad Prussian, i.e not Polish territory historically? So if anyone would have claims, that would be Germany?

Good news everyone. Saw two masked people in Stockholm yesterday that were at least my age or younger. So now we are three. That is a 200% increase.

Well if there are no uniforms or proof of being officials, is shooting in self-defense legal? Isn't US in part about self-defense?

It is a valid point, but then maybe there is a need to create a SARS and airbourne patogen non-profit that informs about these things as well? And include neurological and immune disorders in it?

One thing I find a bit strange - but it might be a very Scandinavian or even Swedish point of view, is that there seems to be a somewhat lacking interest in newer tech for mitigating pathogens. Two cases: 1. Air filtering. Apparently it is new to the Western world that alot of diseases are airbourne. Now that it's established finally - why is the interest so low? 2. FAR-UVC. Brilliant idea. Hard to do. Research is made at @Columbia. Decades old dream. Taxpayers money for their own benefit. Finally done. Made precisely with pandemics and emerging threats in mind. Sure expensive in the beginning but it is a economy of scale. With both climate change, emerging threats, pandemics and other things in mind public spaces (malls, hospitals, public transport, terminals, libraries, public administration offices etc) that act as focal points for pathogen spread should be equipped if not sometimes plastered in better ventilation and FAR-UVC to tech. If it's is a emergency then even duck-taped versions of it. Sure it will look a bit off but the point is KEEPING EVERYONE SAFE, healthy and at their nominal or pesk cognitive performance. It's not a fashion show. But the reaction is: crickets 🦗. Instead we get the psychological reaction of - we used to mask in the NICU, now lets not do that anymore - mask don't work - we like dirty air - it's droplets - etc. - we want to live like pre-2019. - immunity through reinfection. Are people that easily traumatized? Somehow it does seem like a similar effect to certain fungi or toxoplasmosis.

It is pretty clear that they want to humiliate and fracture Europe and the EU. So the correct response is don't give it much meaning, and integrate even more within Europe and with Ukraine. Especially on cooperation.

Digitizing the whole archive at once would be quite a benefit for everyone even if it would of course mean a lot of things would be made public.

Also increasing trade with the rest of the world could be an idea.

Approaching the 4-6x Covid-19 reinfection span? And thus we are seeing the consequences from the Covid-19 reinfection fallout cascade?

We need to monitor the deep sea. In terms of oxygenation, chemical composition and nutrients. As well as temperature. There a a lot of boundaries probably at the limit or being broken and we risk a lot by not monitoring it, besides doing something about it.

Interesting. Probably because white is most associative today to what a mask actually does. And the setting it is used in.

It is really disgusting. 😱 And a testimony to the failure of Public Health.

Why are they advising against it?

It is pretty disgusting to basically threaten federal employees this way, and also on a weekend.

I'd also say treat. Ticks are no joke and definitely worth seeing a doctor over that. And not wait. Also as I understand a preventative antibiotics might be good.

Are you ironic, ironising on the whole Greenland thing?

They got owned. Looks what @McFaul writes. Swedish former PM @carlbildt basically called them amateurs.

While Sweden has had paternal leave besides maternal leave since 1974.

???? Why is race even included in that metric?

Easy, the rich, the corrupt and also various authoritharian entities. That is selling out US.

You do have a sea and a massive desert to the south acting as borders better then any fort when combined.

If there is no client list... then what are they sentencing Ghislaine Maxwell for?

Well, don't sign it if it has no security guarantees? That's otherwise basically colonialism.

No mention of Covid effects whatsoever. @BBCNews You do realize that everything is exacerbated by Covid infections and there is a mountain of scientific evidence to support that? As for healthcare waiting times, besides everything else having no way to protect your healthcare workers from getting ill repeatedly by Covid and other diseases more easily after covid translates probably into NHS staff being sick, which leads to increased waiting times. The solution is pretty simple: Protection against airbourne transmissions such as masking with respirators (ditch the blue surgicals), air purifiers and FAR-UVC. And your staff might need antivirals? If you can't afford it it will not help healthcare as such because staff and patients will keep getting sick. If you want to diminish number of sick people generated then the same mitigations against airbourne transmission apply as well.

That is horrible. And also "the conspiracy site" being other researchers, that or whose research results will probably eventually teach said doctors new stuff.

Damn. Had a hunch about that since the Aura smells a bit interesting, and because it seems that the headbands are different in US vs EU. I thought first the EU headbands here were old and dry, but it might be more to it. Need to check with Dräger, Moldex and SR Safety, Blueair and iMask about that too. @armbrust_usa what about your masks? Ping @FitTestMyPlanet maybe mark in your Google sheets what masks contain PFAS and other chemicals if that becomes clear? The problem is that we C-conscious use masks a lot more often and for longer periods, so we are comparable to basically mining, industry and healthcare workers. In a seldom use trade-off the exposure might be reasonable compared to regulations and legislation. (Not the morally right comparison, but maybe a judicial one.) But now while preparing due to sheer necessity for H5N1 it is time for producers to come clean about the materials, and for us consumers to be able to find better protection.

Yup. Europe isn't that big geographically compared to many countries.

Quotas? How Sovietic.

Also what the American government needs to understand. Bullying Denmark will only mean the other Nordic and Scandinavian countries will support Denmark and each other more. We share a lot of history here, and tend to stand up for each other after many centuries of warfare. (I'm of course no public official, but as it seems there is overwhelming support for Greenland and Denmark.)

Oh lord. How long can it take for people to connect the dots.

Dear @bbchealth. Covid-19 (the disease) has acted as a negative accelerator of health.

Check in out, spectroscopy, under a microscope, chemical analysis instead of speculating.

Don't worry. We appreciate that you are showing us (literally) what viruses do to brains. There is a world of difference having it in a report and actually showing someone a picture.

Nice that you and your mum both mask! Send her my best regards and stay masked!

Maybe time to threaten to cancel F-35 extra contracts if this goes through?

Indeed. We built it with content as users. How about we start building in parallell on the blue platform just in case and after a while switch if we are not content? Millions of users. Competition.

Are those trophic ulcers? Have you checked immune, kidney and liver counts? @dbdugger are these also seen as a consequence of HIV infection?

Does that mean that say US adversaries or whoever on the internet can download their database?

Basically don't care.

Did you ask him or her how much applied physics or aerosol/fluid physics they know?

As @ruthbenghiat said "Collapse of morality", so prepare to see more of this spineless ass-kissing. Be prepared for more of that. What you can do however is boycott the companies and their various CEOs and basically call it to them by coming up with appropriate nicknames. But protest of course. You are voters and taxpayers after all. It is with your money and your money flows they are playing, making it more expensive and volatile for you. It is always easier when it is someone elses money.

Maybe time to shut down DOGE, arrest or stop Mr Muskovitch, and impeach Trump? And for constituents and voters really ask republican leadership (like VP and Speaker) where they stand? And why they are dismantling US in record speed?

That is quite a.....betrayal of friends. Hard to not call it that. Mercantile sellout. Doubtful if most Americans agree to that. If true then it is similar to Yanukovich in 2013, but a American version where citizens don't get the tax cuts, social programs etc are cut, but inflation goes up due to incompetent trade policy, privatizes public functions to friends, says one thing and really does another, listens to the Russian leader and disregards domestic expertise.

Long Covid?

Trying to explain to a friend in Sweden that just feeling allright after day 5 after covid infection is not enough to go training (indoors with friends). Doesn't understand. Christ.

Not acting fast enough, and not admitting it is airbourne. That would have lead to a faster response.

Maybe equipping smartphones with that would be pretty neat.

I would suspect that since a majority of the global population has had Covid-19 at least once, maybe more times, it affects the cognition, patience and impulse control, making people more prone to anger, short temper and less tolerance. Which is bad.

Maybe the Russian president showed a uncensored Epstein related pic and threatened to release it? **Speculation**

Fallout from repeat Covid-19 infections? It affects among other things the brain and nerve system.

Hope you get well soon. However you should be informed and aware of several important things: 1. There is no long term immunity to be had. 2. There might be short-term immunity but that can last like weeks or a month, and mostly to that variant you have, and there are like 1400+ of them 3. Every Covid infection is a risk getting Long Covid, but that is something that takes time to appear, between adjacent to the acute infection or maybe after up to six months or so 4. You should not train this away, even after had the acute phase. You might damage you. Instead you might need to reat very intensively, like basically pretending being a stone for maybe up to a year. It seems some people went running after had covid and well died when the heart or blood vessels didn't cope with the new permanent situation. There has been an uptick of heart related incidents after Covid 5. You and other need antivirals, not just some Paxlovid for a week. China has been repurposing antivirals that are essentially HIV PREP and ART. 6. There are similarities between HIV and Covid in how they work. Covid also affects or can affect the immune system when and if it infects your immune system, which then can't cope with the onslaught. That is valid for both new diseases, and those that comes from pathogens that you have had and which might already live inside you. 7. You can get your endothelium inflamed, or brain inflammation during and from Covid 8. "Brain fog" after Covid is brain damage. I.e Covid does brain and nerve damage. 9. Some medicine like metformin etc helps, and there are today better protocols. But since Covid consists of two phases, the acute phase and the chronic which many unfortunately get, the danger is not over after having the acute phase. The real danger is the chronic since it can stack with reinfections. 10. Every infection has consequences, even mild ones, so there are basically no mild infections. Also every infection shaves of between 3 and 10 IQ points according to research. So what is your Covid plan? 11. Masking and cleaning the air, as well as using prevention through treatment is what is needed. Covid is airborne. Washing hands doesn't work. There is no cure today. There is only a start for funding, a small 1$ billion yearly or so. But there is already 400 000+ research studies done, which every of the points above connects to. But still no cure even if there is a vast difference of what science knows now compared to five years ago. But still no cure. And there is a vast difference between what science knows and how the public has reacted. Viruses don't care about ideology. They just replicate and dupe your body into making more of themselves.

@kellyclarkson Start using HEPA/MERV filters like CRboxes, and also add FAR-UVC like @FarUVSterilray or similar. And when not then use a N95 mask or better. It works. Secure your income and the health of your audience.

@TRyanGregory @ChristosArgyrop @DavidJoffe64 @Sunny_Rae1 @fitterhappierAJ @dbdugger @DaniBeckman Anyone surprised? Swedish kids land in hospital with pneumonia after the flu (or the "flu"). Doctors: "Never seen anything like it." Doctors suspect that the immune system is lowered "after the pandemic". H/T @Smittskydd please. Credit goes to him.

Well, this is what @dbdugger has been trying to tell people.

Sad that people get covid. No matter who they are. This can however maybe give alot of data since he does have alot of that already, and ot might be one more push for awareness and call to action, research and prevention etc.

This would mean that after there is a substantial risk that many that have had Covid-19 a couple of times are sort of "dry tinder" (as a Swedish state epidemiologist expressed it once) that would need ECMO and basically risk dying quickly since ECMO is as you say both expensive and rare?

Trump is not Republican unfortunately. It is something else in the mix. Habe you read Project 2025, and also considered the possibility that his vision might be aligned with Putin when it comes to Ukraine and in the prolongment also Europe?

It sounds plausible? There is aneed to build basically a sector of services for parts of society that do not want to be reinfected? And where doctors that are free from low-level countereffective measures can work.

How do you notice cognitive decline around you in society? - grammar errors - less tolerance for long thoughts - repeated questions about same things - contextual errors - peoples kids being sick very often (alot more then 5 years ago) - projects stalling - more burnout

I'm sincerely sorry to hear this. Hope your remaining time is peaceful and you can do some of the things you like. 🫂

Why can't or can members of Congress and others command police forces and make their way in? Or can they but they are asking politely first?

???????? That answer only adds to the confusion. And it doesn't even say how they want their toolbox to be to track spread more close to realtime. That sounds more as a bureaucratic way of saying "we are not sure what we are doing, and are not sure how where it is coming from.".

You can ask them how much physics they know? Then show them some thread that explains how aerosols spread for example. But I guess there will be a lot of prestige now.

OK. Well, it's not about HIV. It's about the Covid and Long Covid (should be maybe called Chronic Covid) and HIV share similarities, and in short attack the immune system. Thus dysregulating it. Check these out: researchgate.net/publication… merckmanuals.com/professiona… pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3584….

Prepare for unforseen consequences. It does resemble the situation in Russia during the 1990s. Also, if you run the agencies into the ground privatization will look as a better option. This is however more serious since US agencies in some cases set the tone for either the whole world or a large part of the world, even if they sometimes are wrong (like the droplet vs aerosol feud at CDC).

Btw, doesn't any of the press at the briefings have courage to correct Trump and ask him why he is lying?

Sounds like Covid-19 accumulated damages.

Does Elons tweet have ANY legal weight?

Hey @USDA @CDCgov do you guys read social media etc?

Just be VERY careful and vet all check all people that attend so you don't have provocateurs among you. And also don't let them provoke you either in any way.

They probably have a profitability goal that won't be met if you overpay. The question is if that is legal.

So we all should prepare too.

Indeed. It is of societal interest that well..maybe it should be declared how often they have had Covid?

Damn. I was worried the large databases would be affected. Are they mirrored anywhere?

How much does Vance or his team understand foreign relations? And security etc? Considering they have Posobiec on the team with Hegseth? Or is that just a facade?

Someone should tell her to go get her health checked, including immune levels and also kidneys and liver. This is crazy.

Indeed. I think he is pretty stressed, Covid accumulation effects are catching up, and also lack of sleep. Besides him trying to find waste everywhere, and lashing around when it doesn't work. He has promised a lot, and he needs a presidential pardon to escape all the potential breaches that have been done.

It would. It might also help asking for Covid-conscious doctors. And refuse meeting non C-conscious doctors.

I'd also say that those in charge failed miserably in the economy first train of thought as well. Having the total workforce tanking and getting people disabled will not benefit the economy. Having protective measures will. Both for workers and consumers etc. Also what worries me is when doctors and medical staff talk economy and let that be part of a paradigm that wrongly concludes less healthcare and protection is beneficial for the economy. That is not HCW:s concern, that is for economists etc. Now we have a situation where economists have been more worried about peoples health then medical staff. I. Total the costs for protection are a fraction of the costs for letting it rip and doing nothing or having the "vaccine only strategy". And second, many governments have failed miserably at having clear and precautionary long term planning (including care for their citizen), which is actually their job and not something household can be expected to have on such a massive scale.

Well, here we go. The big disorder starts.

A small suggestion. It's not the farmers themselves necessarily, but their workers (including those that are illegal and undocumented). That is maybe also why the whole testing and tracing is going so slowly. Which actually exacerbates the problem, but should not be shyed away from.

The easy solution is that Ukraine doesn't agree to anything without consulting Europe, or just doesn't agree to anything until Europe is part of the talks. In any case it risks just being another paper that doesn't guarantee amything.

It seems we masked are spread out pretty thin. And many can be the only ones taking precautions in their respective group. It is crazy.

Sure, but custom is that children and family are not involved in what their parents or spouse does. Unless they are actively involved that is. If we (EU + UA etc) claim having higher morals and ethics, we have to actually show it. Outing her doesn't achieve much maybe, except complicate the situation for French security. She is not at fault for having the parents she has. Same for other children of oligarchs, corruptioners and other shady figures - until they join the ranks for whatever their parents schemes.

OK. So there are laws for that. Which makes this even more against the law?

This is consistent with what C-conscious, activists, scientists and others warned about early on, that recurring infections basically mow down and fracture peoples health. I wonder if it also shows implicitly that immune systems and the body in general puts up a fight, but is overwhelmed by getting battered. Which would point to the paramount importance of protection to lower both viral load and number of infections.

Sigh. Correlation is not causation. Literally among the first chapters of many university textbooks. Of course it can correlate, but does that mean that it is caused by vaccines? It could also be just the population growing and therefore the same proportion of autistic children being diagnosed. Or that there is another factor that comes to expression through a larger population etc.

Indeed. It is harder. I guess we covid conscious to many seem like some sort of sect. But the only thing we could be accused of is reading scientific reports and trying to staying as covid-free as possible. Well and trying to inform our peers. It is appaling that so much science is ignored when it could be applied and save lives etc.

Doesn't sound like he connected the dots there.

Also maybe make a better deal with EU? And Canada.

It is great that you at WHO finally cooperate with physicists (since transmission is physics and most healthcare personnel don't know or get educated in that unfortunately) but you know you could also include already done research by Makoto Tsubokura at Riken R-CCS on Fugaku (Japans and one of the worlds fastest supercomputers) that was done on the topic already in 2020. r-ccs.riken.jp/en/fugaku/res… And also of course @kprather88 and @linseymarr. This after all not quantum particle physics. (We did analyze CERN ATLAS data in college back in the day, e- vs e+ collisions to detect cascades, it was great fun.)

Unfortunately it looks like part of a plan. Also a way to let NATO dissolve slowly. The question is, if it is a inside job, incompetence, betrayal, utopian ideologies or just stupidity? Also it fits into the Dugin-Yarvin ideologies, where basically strength is everything, and democratic principles are not worth their attention, and where Europe is carved up by or between the US or Russian imperial multipolarity centers.

I wouldn't say you have been paying for that, it is maybe more like corporations have been doing bigger and bigger profits while workers salaries have not increased. The rest of the world doesn't get a piece of corporate profits, or for that matter balooning salaries, stock buybacks etc that C-suites, boards and stock holders have been giving themselves for decades.

I suspect that is not normal?

Yup. Keep pressing from alla angles. Shining a light on everything.

Höghastighetstågen skulle kosta mer, så det är en bra jämförelse.
