@StargatePioneer
I am certain that by now you have seen the final of #Picard.

I hope you watched to the actual ending not just when they started with the rolls, rather to the very end.

I hope you understand my last message in response to your question and you better understand why there was nothing I could reveal this time except you have to wath it to believe it.

Oh and Congratulations are in order to @JeriLRyan on her promotion and upcoming series.

So, these past three weeks haven't been quite reassuring.

- Two close friends (not related) were sick (with whatever) for more than two weeks and struggle to recover.
- Two close relatives had been to ER. One serious allergic reaction. Other sudden chest/heart pain.
- Own child sick *again* (vomiting, diarrhea).
- Close relative has concerning blood pressure issues (too low, close to fainting).
- Emergency in neighborhood.

The irony: this time last week I ordered a CO2 monitor, personal air purifier, and new cute, public-speaking-friendly masks to create as safe a “bubble” as I could for myself during this week’s important work travel and during the event itself. I was nervous but resolved about presenting while masked, knowing that it may be an issue for clients but also knowing my health is more important.

The #Biden administration on Wednesday extended the #COVID-19 #publichealthemergency until April as “#Kraken” #XBB.1.5, the most transmissible #Omicron variant seen yet, drives cases #upward.
The public health emergency has been extended every 90 days since 2020.

WSJ—Iterations of the #Omicron variant are spreading rapidly in #China after officials relaxed #zero-Covid controls in place for most of the #pandemic and hospitals are strained, employees have said. #Chineseofficials have reported a modest rise in #Covid-19 cases and deaths, but some public-health experts and relatives of the deceased suspect a #higher toll.

#ItIsNotOver #Covid #China #1MillionCasesPerDay

#China is likely experiencing 1 million #Covidinfections and 5,000 virus #deaths every day as it grapples with the virus anew.
The situation could get even worse for the country of 1.4 billion people. This current #wave may see the daily case rate rise to 3.7 million in #January. There’ll likely then be another surge of infections that will push the daily peak to 4.2 million in #March, the group estimated.

TIME—COVID-19 Is Linked to Detectable Brain Changes, Study Shows

While the world is learning to live with COVID-19, scientists still have many unanswered questions about how the infection affects the body and brain—not just when people are sick, but over the long term as well.

In a study presented at the Radiological Society of North America, researchers report on changes to the brain among people who have recovered from it.

STAT— An experimental influenza vaccine developed using messenger RNA technology appears capable of inducing what should be a protective immune response against all known subtypes of flu, at least in animals. If the work is translated into humans it could turn out to be a version of a long-sought universal vaccine.
