PMC COVID-19 Forecasting Model, Nov 25, 2024 About 1 in 118 people in the U.S. are estimated to be actively infectious with Covid. If gathering with 10 people for the holiday, know there's about an 8% chance at least one person would have Covid if no testing/isolation. 🦃

A new study shows that SARS-CoV-2 infection causes vascular dysfunction due to the modification of endothelial cell elasticity. The results for the first time show that SARS-CoV-2 infection directly changes endothelial elasticity and causes endothelial dysfunction. 1/

Just a reminder: you are NOT unusual, weird, or unlovable if you have: - no one to see on Christmas Day, - no presents, or - no contactable relatives. Very few people live the idealised version on TV. Those of us who live differently—whether by choice or trauma—matter as much.

1) The best hospitals require universal masking during Covid waves. 2) We are in a Covid wave. 3) Therefore, if your hospital does not require masking, it is ____________. (fill in the blank)

Imagine if climate change could be solved by simply wearing a sweater for 3 months for ONE single winter. Well that's actually how simple it could be to bring COVID down to manageable levels. If 70% wore proper masks in public spaces, COVID could be wiped out, likely in months.

How are the top science programs handling high COVID-19 transmission, inclusivity, equity, and diversity in January 2025? 🔥Sick policies 🔥Virtual options 🔥High-quality masks supplied/required 🔥ASHRAE-level air cleaning This is an excerpt of my welcome email to students:

With the Trump admin deleting critical data from health agency websites, there are many independent efforts to archive the data. Maggie Koerth is putting together a guide to help locate where all the data is being backed up. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

The CDC updated their Covid wastewater transmission data again this week. I was hoping we'd head into a downturn, but the PMC model was correct in forecasting a small uptick. Transmission remains high. cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVID1…

1st they said kids wouldn't catch covid. Then they said if kids got infected it's no big deal. Then they stopped talking about it cuz kids in classrooms helps drive capitalism. The ruling class doesn't give a single f*ck about you if you're not a productive cog in the machine.
