And here we go, apparently we've got "a couple of isolated cases" of #COVID19 on campus. So the token "here are some guidelines but masking is optional" admin. email just came out.

And so it begins.

@MatWright The subvariants of #Delta & #Omicron continue to spread across the world via 🚢✈ That constitutes a #Pandemic. While people mingle (unmasked) in large crowds, in poorly ventilated structures, the mutations will continue to multiply.
There is no point looking for the initial cause. The spread - & the inability to contain it - can be put down to the abysmal lack of education as to the risks; continued minimisation of the risks; media misinformation...and Governments' irresponsible -if not criminal - abandonment of due care of their citizens.

found this quick #sociology primer on the "untact" society, a concept emerging in #korea really interesting -- but also ironically illustrated.

DON'T GASLIGHT SCIENCE

Kraken (Covid-19) has been detected in New Zealand. Can't help but be angry at all those who made this variant possible by refusing simple mitigations. (i.e. #maskup #socialdistance #StayTheFHome https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/482139

"There aren’t any monoclonal antibody drugs that can treat the latest #Covid-19 variants."

"There are still Covid-19 therapies that remain effective, and it’s still possible to prevent #infections in the first place. But without monoclonals as a backstop, some of the most vulnerable people will be at greater risk of suffering and dying."

#Maskup. #Socialdistance. Covid is NOT OVER.

We’re out of monoclonal #antibodies for Covid-19. Now what? - #Vox

I am so very concerned when I see hashtags like
#CovidIsNotOver

Covid has never been over. It's still going, it will forever be going. This is our new normal. We need to maintain #masking we need to maintain #SocialDistance but it doesn't need to be insane.

Be responsible, don't get others sick. You don't feel well? Maybe stay home and stop licking people.

This is basic hygiene and it I'm very disappointed in the rest of you, Humanity. Do better.

The pandemic isn't over. #WearAMask, #GetVaccinated, and #SocialDistance if you care about other people's wellbeing.

I #WearAMask, keep #SocialDistance, am #Vaccinated and #Boosted, and I run 🏃 three days a week. I am not going to make it easy for the virus. Neither should you.

Regular exercise may protect against severe COVID-19 https://www.upi.com/Health_News/2022/08/23/regular-exercise-severe-COVID-19/7861661259785/

UC Irvine Restores Indoor Mask Mandate https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2022/07/18/uc-irvine-restores-indoor-mask-mandate

Meanwhile, in most other campuses, incl. certain small college I will not mention, it's pretty fuck it (and fuck you vulnerable people), no masks needed.

I still #WearAMask. And #SocialDistance

But sure, everything is fine. Ditch the masks, say fuck it, go party and get nice and close.

(Not me. I am still going to #WearAMask, keep #SocialDistance, and isolate as much as I can. Some of us are a little vulnerable)

>BA.5, now dominant U.S. variant, may pose the biggest threat to immune protection yet

@aerwaves@mastodon.online
Those PDF slides do contain some concerning facts about the medical procedure.

Perhaps is it best to simply #socialDistance, cut a 2L plastic bottle into a #visor, #washYourHands and #wearAMask to inhibit the spread, as some people have been doing from the start.

What do you think?

Thanks for sharing this also. 💖 Merry Christmas from Australia.

கோவிட் - 19: பெண்களுக்கு எதிரான வன்முறைகள்

கீழ்கண்ட காரணங்களால் வன்முறைகள் அதிகரிக்கின்றன...வன்முறைக்கு முற்றுப்புள்ளி வைப்போம்! #COVID19 #SocialDistance #StopViolenceAgainstWomen

It appears that the virus has hit #SouthAustralia and #Adelaide.

Dear residents, you now have the COVID we will not say anything more but this is your chance to show whether you have integrity.

Will you follow #Melbourne with an initial piecemeal approach, targetting only migrants, or go hard?

Can you #wearACovering and #socialDistance for two-weeks and prevent carnage. Or will you tow the #corporateLine for #personalGain and scream out for a fastTracked vaccine.

Choose now. Act accordingly.
