They say that having PCR testing is crucial to minimizing the spread of illness, but it doesnāt really do much if they let athletes compete while positive and contagious with illnessā¦

So, as the virus became MORE contagious/infectious, it became LESS airborne? I would have assumed it would have been the opposite.

I take COVID seriously, but I think itās insensitive to speculate about these things when we have very limited information, nor do we know this personās medical history or anything else that could have caused this collapse.

Not true. The fact is that COVID continues to kill those who are the most vulnerable, and most of them have been vaccinated. Vaccine efficacy wanes over time, and very few are still getting boosters which is a problem. kff.org/policy-watch/why-do-ā¦

It was definitely lower in summer 2020. I think T Ryan Gregory said summer 2023 could look more like summer 2021 than summer 2022. But the OP is incorrect in stating ALL-TIME LOWS. Itās lower than it has been in a while, but not the LOWEST.

Long COVID is no joke. They really need to invest more in researching it and developing effective treatments for it (and perhaps even to prevent it if infection occurs).

You people link citations you don't even understand lol...as if a study of people infected several years ago when the virus was still novel is still relevant today.
Reality is not minimizing, you maximizer

This isnāt true actually. Measles is definitely more infectious than COVID, but both are serious diseases. COVID has killed more than measles in the past couple years.

Itās nice that they acknowledged COVID, but this article is from a year ago, in 2022. In 2023, it would have been a āmystery virusā. Lol

No, her tour did not kill people around the world, nor did local hospitals become overwhelmed. The Eras Tour was the highest-grossing world tour EVER.

I still think itās pretty unlikely for it to spread to people a lot further back. Yes, itās airborne, but airborne particles disperse. Airflow is not the same as infectious virus. Also, all respiratory viruses are airborne as far as I know.

The article says vaccination status did not affect the likelihood of testing positive, but having a previous infection was very protective. Thatās good news, I guess. But also, the survey doesnāt take into account the other 60%+ of attendees so actual +rate could have been higher

There have been studies that show a risk with asymptomatic infections, but that risk is much lower than symptomatic infections.

Flu is uncommon in the summer, but not zero. Summer colds are not "rare". In fact, % test positivity is highest for the viruses that cause most common colds currently (rhinovirus/enterovirus). Common colds are more common than covid.

And? Do you not know that mild COVID infections still come with lots of risk? Whatās your point? Yes, thereās a vaccine thatās over 2 years old, and efficacy wanes, and very few people are getting boosters to restore that protection.

Vaccines reduce the risk of severe illness and death, but there are many other risks with COVID infections (even mild ones). Vaccine efficacy wanes over time and most arenāt getting boosters, so whatās your point?

Got it, thanks. šš Do we know anything about the intrinsic severity of the different Omicron sub-variants? Is it changing at all? Whenever a new variant emerges, they say no evidence itās causing more severe disease, but itās hard to tell how much of that is due to immunity.

It is *incredibly* misleading to use a a study of 94 students, with lots of selection bias, to claim that ā40% of college students developed brain damage from COVIDā by 2023.
You should know better, but you donāt care about spreading misinfo as long as it suits your narrative

The pandemic ended in 2022. Covid is not killing performers, and it is not a "simulation". It is reality. You're in a cult. Seek help. The covid era is NOT "ongoing"

COVID/SARS-CoV-2 is the most closely studied virus in history. We know so much about it now in less than four years. Imagine what we could know if we studied every virus/pathogen this throughlyā¦

That article mentions that more research should be put into HCoV-NL63 as it uses the same receptor as COVID and provokes an eerily similar immune response. Iām sure thereās a lot we still donāt know about common viruses we think are NBD.

So why are you being so judgemental if you donāt care about the facts?? You should be judging those that take no precautions at all.

If you understood science and data, you'd know that covid is not special anymore, and you would not still be afraid of risks that existed 3-5 years ago, but no longer do since the virus is not novel anymore. The pandemic is over, doomsday cultist. Called the passage of time.

It's not bad at all. The pandemic is over. It does not matter what the TODAY show recommends (it is actually one of their BOTTOM recommendations). No sane person masks all the time in 2025. Masking at all is a mental illness, unless you're sick.

Do you have a source for this? Most studies/data seem to report/how about 5-10%, unless it looks at hospitalized patients too, in which case it would be higher.

Given his age, itāll likely take longer to heal. It was his doctors who recommended he postpone his tour until 2024

Exactly. Iām not sure why some are so quick to blame COVID for everything. Yes, COVID is serious, but that doesnāt mean we should blame it for everything.

Wearing a mask in 2025 is no more necessary than it was in 2019. Wear one if you want but don't make it your entire personality.

*Cumulative* risk goes up, but a reinfection is less likely to result in Long COVID than an initial infection
3

Yes exactly. Even before the pandemic, parents would report getting sick constantly with all sorts of bugs when their kids start school and daycare, but we now know how we can reduce illness from airborne viruses. A big part of that is improving indoor air quality.

So sorry. Longhaulers BECAUSE of the COVID positive person she exposed you guys toā¦or was this a different infection?

Possibly. Itās also possible for it to become dominant slowly and not cause a wave. Too early to tell.

This is how I understood it:
I donāt think thatās what it means. Negative efficacy would mean vaccinated individuals are MORE likely to get infected than those who arenāt. This just means immune-escape. The virus can infect those with immunity from prior infections or vaccines more easily.

If someone injures any one of their organs for whatever reason, it doesnāt mean the damage is permanent. Organs can recover. I donāt think there has been a consensus on how much of it is permanent, if at all.

However, if indoor air quality is improved in all/most public buildings, then transmission will be reduced overall in the community, reducing the chances that someone will be infected and lowering the risk of near-field transmission.

Did you not see his next tweet? He wears a mask when going indoors and he LIVES with the people he is sitting close to. Also, wastewater indicates a lull (decreasing prevalence), so this was one of the safest times in a while to go to a gathering, and itās outdoors.

Currently, there is no evidence that COVID can cause a brain tumor, though it could accelerate growth.

I think it can be transmitted through sex, since it has been detected through semen. However, the main mode of transmission is the airborne route. I donāt think we can really call this an STD.

Question, @JPWeiland -
I read that JN.1 has a reduced ACE2 binding affinity. What exactly does this mean? Less infectious?
1
257
Yep, and he said they didnāt get sick even after the kid relaxed masking after the winter wave of illnesses. Sounds like ventilation works.

I wonder how many people who say theyāve never had COVID or theyāve had it once, but donāt test regularly have had prior asymptomatic infections theyāre unaware about.

R0 is only relevant in an immune-naive population. The pandemic is over and it is already endemic.
Also, it is not an "extinction event", you scientifically illiterate doomsday cultist. It is an endemic respiratory virus.

However, in Season 18, they had a disclaimer at the end of each episode saying how the show is taking place āin a fictional post-pandemic worldā while COVID is still ravaging the medical communities in the real world.
Season 19 onwards has had no disclaimer.

I think mask mandates in healthcare should be permanent. Now that we know the usefulness of masks, itās difficult to imagine going back to walking around a hospital or other healthcare facilities maskless. Canāt believe people did that before

I also think that implementing indoor air quality regulations in public buildings will reduce the transmission of all airborne pathogens.

The Spanish flu did not disappear after 3 years. The virus continued to circulate for decades and never went away.

The rate of increase seems to be slowing. Although smartphones have been around for a while, screentime has dramatically increased in young people since 2020.
Also, it seems to have been rising before the pandemic in Sweden. See below:
Study and key data. The rise started long before the pandemic.
Stop misleading people.

If you care about long-term health, it should be avoiding repeat COVID infections, which can occur with the unvaxxed and the vaxxed.

Do they have any data on how effective Novavax will be? I think somebody in one of your spaces said that the mRNA vaccines will be more effective than Novavax for these strains, but Iām wondering if thereās any data on its efficacy. Thanks!

See below: itās from last year, but it still applies.
