also to be absolutely🔮clear, b/c it appears i am💯in on #Novavax
& think it’s the #HolyGrail

IT’S NOT
will always & forever #wearADamnMask b/c there’s not only #PM25 , dead rat dust in subway tunnels & #microplastic #pollution #germs #virions #etc
i have trust issues after seeing human behavior.. & also knowing catching a #commonCold gives no immunity.. yeah, thank you but no thank you #riskmanagement

but whatever can give our #immuneSystem a >3 month fighting chance, am💯for that #adjuvant

Pandemic protocols had kept me free of any cold/flu for past few years. Now it is back to being sick every single month in winter. 🤧🤒

@themaltesemama these are interesting and important data. Prior Covid illness could lead to long-term lowered overall immunity to everything else floating around out there #covid #RSV #flu #commoncold #health #stayhealthy

Look closely at the image and you'll see why masks are better at protecting others than they are at protecting yourself. By the time those droplets get to you they will have evaporated enough to get through a mask. You can be infected by breathing them in or via your eyes. Glasses will help. Stay 2 metres back if possible, from the non-mask wearers. #covid #flu #CommonCold

We've been trying to arrange a 3rd grader play date for three weeks now. Every time, one side or the other texts the night before to say, "Fever..." #rsv #covid #flu #commoncold #exasperatedparent

@TRyanGregory
As far as #MSM this article great, but I keep hearing through the bunch of books I’m co-currently listening to, the way to convince is through emotion, not logic #theme

Personally go logic first always & yet still sometimes struggle to separate emotion; but at least aware #bias

Emotionally people really truly believe a #biohazard level 3 #virus is #commonCold & when Gounder dismisses #GrantWahl death as not related to #Covid #whatsoever
I mean.. what hope is there?

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said wearing a mask is an everyday precaution that people can take to reduce their chances of catching or spreading a respiratory virus.😷

I sure hope what I'm catching is only a cold.

“Illness is the night side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.” ― Susan Sontag, Illness as Metaphor

Great explanation of why we haven't cured the common cold yet - because it's a whole group of viruses, not a single virus

Story of #coronaviruses How the ‘’novel #Coronavirus (#SARSCoV2)’’ May Have Emerged? | Coronaviruses are not new; these are as old as anything in the world and are known to cause #commoncold among #humans for ages. However, its latest #variant the ‘SARS-CoV-2’ currently in news for causing COVID-19 #pandemic is new.

Is there a limit to what you can post?
Dealing with folks under the weather, keeping a low profile to allow them time to rest. I often wonder why others catch colds yet for the most part I'm immune. #flu2022 #commoncold #nyclife

“A new round of viral infections — flu, #RSV, #covid19 and the #commoncold — is colliding with #staffingshortages at schools and day cares to create unprecedented challenges for parents and teachers. More than 100,000 Americans missed work last month because of #childcare problems, an all-time high that’s even greater than during the height of the #pandemic, according to new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics #BLS" https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/11/15/work-absences-childcare/

I have yet another #commoncold, my second one in 2 months. The joys of being #immunocompromised. Apparently the friend I met for coffee yesterday had a cold, but didn't think it was worth mentioning to me. Gee, thanks.

The inhaled vaccine contains the same ingredients as the jabs used in China, but a nebulizer machine turns it from liquid into an aerosol spray.

If we assume that an adult has 2.5 common colds per year, and that one cold lasts for two weeks, and if we further assume that this adult does one antigen test for COVID-19 per week, then there is an almost 10 % chance that any given false positive test is accompanied by a cold.

(2.5 colds per year · 2 weeks) ÷ 52 weeks per year ≈ 9.62 %
