COVID numbers are going up, but #flu and #RSV cases continue to drop in #NYC. We still don't have accurate hospitalization numbers for #influenza and #RSVirus here, but it looks like the overall risk of hospitalization and death from acute airborne infectious diseases is dropping.

I'm going to plan for indoor dining and singing, and maybe travel, but as long as this many people are dying and being hospitalized I'll #WearAMask in elevators, trains, doctor's offices, pharmacies and supermarkets!

Il vaccino era già stato approvato negli 🇺🇸 e in 🇪🇺 per gli over 60 e per la profilassi passiva dell’infezione da Rsv nei neonati fino a 6 mesi, attraverso la somministrazione alla donna in gravidanza tra la 32esima e la 36esima settimana di gestazione (vaccino oggi disponibile in Italia solo a carico dei cittadini).

#Russia, respiratory infections #update: MoH, rospotrebnadzor.ru/about/info/

Among respiratory viruses, more than half of the cases are #influenza viruses, the most active of which remain B and A (#H1N1). Among non-influenza viruses, #rhinoviruses and #RSV viruses predominate.

The incidence of #COVID19 continues to decline. According to the results of the 13th week, 2.5 thousand cases were registered, which is 18.3% lower than in the previous week.

Cases of #flu and #RSV in #NYC continue to fall, a week or two later than they did last year. Unfortunately, cases and hospitalizatios of #COVID are going up.

I'm going to be pissed if we have a full-blown Spring #COVID19 wave and I have to start moving karaoke online, after months of not singing in person to avoid spreading #influenza and #RSVirus!

While there are meaningful numbers of people being hospitalized for airborne diseases, I #WearAMask in elevators, trains and doctors' offices!

Wat denk jij als je in de supermarkt of bij de huisarts iemand met een mondkapje ziet?
- "Uitslover, corona is toch allang voorbij"
- "Iiiek, die heeft zeker een enge ziekte"
- "Wat een angsthaas"

Onzin! Die mensen beschermen zichzelf en hun medemensen eenvoudig tegen besmetting met airborne ziekteverwekkers, die tegenwoordig alomtegenwoordig zijn (#Covid19, #influenza, #RSV )

i'm always extra-incensed by the extreme disconnect my entire queer theories or sexuality studies classes operate from around covid! we can talk about hiv/aids, informed consent, eugenics, etc all the while everyone in the room is maskless & there is always at least one coughing someone was talking about feeling safe in queer spaces w/their multiple marginalized identities, which is very real! but even still it's ironically not inclusive to further marginalized folks. so vexed by the incessant disconnect so i had to share this:

folks really gotta start questioning how radical they really are because not being covid cautious during this mass disabling event is at odds with being inclusive, accessible, intentional, community oriented, creating safe space, practicing consent, siding with the marginalized.

Nyt myös alkaneissa vuodeosastojaksoissa näkyy notkahdus. Pidän kuitenkin vielä toistaiseksi kiinni päätelmästä, että meneillään on vain jonkinlainen dataummetus, koska notkahdus ei koske pelkästään koronan takia alkaneita vuodeosastojaksoja. Lisäksi influenssan kaltaisten tautien vuoksi Avohilmoon kirjattujen käyntien määrän huippu on jatkunut jo kolme viikkoa, eikä vain kaksi: sampo.thl.fi/pivot/prod/fi/avo

@Alice

I'm 55+, and I rarely encounter commercials.

I do know that I need a doctor to prescribe the #HPV vax for people my age. Which is annoying af, because anyone can contract HPV, and I only recently heard that men are advised to get if if they are sexually active (I'm not, currently, though I anticipate sexing with someone in the future).

Meanwhile, my #pharmacy is pestering me to get the #RSV vax. Which, I'm not certain I'm particularly at risk of either catching it or transmitting it. The #university I applied to doesn't have a checkbox on the application for "not in the demographic that is required to get a #meningitis vax."

I'm on #marketplace insurance. I don't object to #vaccinations , but any that require me to pay for them may be delayed.
