I have two YouTube playlists inspired by COVID. One is of how people were initially very creative in making shows and stories and music during various lockdowns. The other is a list I keep adding to: "Pandemic Oral History".

Here, an inventor I'm familiar with just casually mentions he's testing out his shelter because he caught COVID from a friend and wants to keep quarantined from his wife in the house.

With the start of schools and universities anticipated in the next few weeks, the rise of SARS-CoV2 in wastewater in many parts of the US, wildfire smoke in some areas, measles outbreaks in others, can we come together and support masking in schools, especially in the first 2 weeks? Remember the days of flattening the curve?

Israel sees rise in COVID-19 cases amid low vaccination rates

...became part of this statistic after contracting the virus for the sixth time. “The moment I felt extreme weakness, I knew I was sick. No fever, but the fatigue crushed me,”
I saw people with masks and thought, ‘Are they still scared of COVID?’ Now the joke’s on me,” she said, urging others not to dismiss the illness. “It crushes you; you can’t move.”

COVID-19 update

Listmates,

I apologize for any cross-postings.

It has been sometime since I posted a COVID-19 update, due in part to reductions in infection rates after vaccinations became available, and in part due to the paucity of COVID-19 data since the CDC stopped tracking and reporting infection and mortality rates at the end of the public health emergency (PHE) on May 11, 2023.

COVID-19 is still active in the US population. Although data are no longer for injection or mortality, wastewater measurements continue to provide a fair approximation of contagion rates.

Currently, the states with "very high" COVID-19 contagion rates are Alaska, Hawaii and Texas. States with "high" COVID-19 contagion rates include California, Delaware, Kentucky and Louisiana.

cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVID19-nation

The effects of long COVID continue to be reported and studied. Over 16 million workers in the US have been diagnosed with long COVID. A significant percentage of at risk populations have also been diagnosed with long COVID, including older adults and immunocompromised people. Hardships for those with long COVID include difficulty being diagnosed, treated, or compensated for time lost from work.

Current strains present with sore throat, headache, subsequent deep chest congestion, cognitive interference and weakness. Generally symptoms persist for three weeks.

The forecast for COVID is not favorable. Funding for vaccine research, testing (kits), and treatment has been cut.

The advice from the research and medical community remains unchanged. If traveling by air, wear a mask. If in a crowded venue, wear a mask. People exposed to school-aged children are at risk.
