Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom I see you're hitting the historic pandemic #XBB15 variant now. Oh dear. Please do everything you can to change what happens next. Wear a well-fitted, filtering mask at all times in public. Stay home if you're sick. Save lives, including your own. It matters. black heart emoji blue heart emoji masked emoji 5:36 PM · Jan 2, 2023

Covid Has Not Gone Away

According to current news, 'Covid has not gone away and we will rue our actions.' The headlines on BelfastTelegraph.co.uk.

Covid doesn't care

Covid-19 doesn’t care whose lives it touches, how poorly you get, it doesn’t care what you choose or you choose not do, what you believe, of if you think it’s finished, or it’s gone on for too long, it’s a virus, it’s an anchor.

Covid has divided opinions

Not everyone agrees and the virus has divided opinions, but for those who have a life, or for those who are putting their lives first before the virus, please have a heart for those who are having to put their lives on hold because they are high risk, because they can’t afford to catch and deal with countless reinfections, because in doing so they become critically ill, and because they might die.

For those kind people reading my individual blogs, you will know I caught Covid in December days before my twin died. You will also know there was an overlap of about two weeks, when I caught a cough and flu virus, which has been slow to go.

Protect the vulnerable

Taking precautionary measures is watching out for the vulnerable. For those who are house-bound, they want to be able to safely go shopping, to go on holiday and to go out into safe public environments. Masking up saves lives and chronic illness. We should want to protect each other. Hands, face, space or at least mask up. Covid has not gone away.

My writing isn't always an enjoyable experience, but it's one I find necessary. Some of the subject topics I write about continue to affect me mentally, so I feel I have no choice. The alternative would be to carry the issue and get sick.

This Week in Prophecy: Temple Half Shekel, Natural Gas, Depopulation, COVID XBB 1.5

Exodus 30:13-16 This is what everyone who is numbered shall give: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs), half a shekel as a contribution to the Lord. Everyone who is numbered, from twenty years old and over, shall give the contribution to the Lord. The rich shall not pay more and the poor shall not pay less than the half shekel, when you give…

Some info on the newer, more dangerous US-originated covid strain: XBB15 “the Kraken.” Stay safe everyone! Mask up and act like this is 2020 again. This one’s no joke!

[jadedbirch]

Okay okay, at least if I'm gonna be taken down by COVID 3 years into the pandemic, at least you can all know it was the KRAKEN strain that got me!

[Picture of brown-haired, blue-eyed, pale skinned woman with rainbow glasses, wearing an N95 mask, against light blue wall.

Text: “The headbands aren’t rubber so they don’t pull at your hair. It’s also very roomy; you don’t feel as confined when you take a breath. The downside is you look like a duck 🦆 with this N95.” Behind the Kimberly-Clark N95 pouch respirator is Stephanie, Founder of SpoonieStrong. 💙🥄

A childhood cancer survivor and chronic illness warrior, Stephanie was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2013, after her 30-year journey to seek a diagnosis. She created #SpoonieStrong, a health blog, to build a community and motivate everyone to band together and stand up for each other!

“I wish people would understand how a small gesture like wearing a mask would save so many lives. Be a superhero to someone else: wear a mask!😷💙🥄”

Even though Stephanie has received the bivalent booster, she can still catch the virus and get very sick because of her immunocompromised state. She wears N95s to protect herself and keep her family safe.

“Mandate or not, masks are necessary, especially for the elderly and members of the spoonie community. No one likes wearing masks, but our collective action is critical.”

Based on the rising reported C19 deaths, experts have confirmed that XBB.1.5 can equally hospitalize and kill #elderly and #immunocompromised people as other Omicron variants did.

World Health Organization (@who)says #XBB15 is the most antibody resistant variant to date. #ɢᴇᴛᴠᴀᴄᴄɪɴᴀᴛᴇᴅ and boosted, mask, test, ventilate, distance, isolate when sick. The Layered Approach in mitigation measures is recommended by #WHO.

Thank you, Stephanie, for being #MaskTogetherAmerica’s #MaskedHero of the day.

BTW. Stephanie posted more details of what she is wearing on Amazon. Something about a sale."]

Dixième vague de COVID19 mue par le sous-variant XBB15 d’Omicron

See on Scoop.it - EntomoNews

La 10ème vague de #COVID19 mue par le sous-variant #XBB15 d’Omicron semble proche de son pic en Europe, d’un niveau voisin des trois vagues précédentes, avec son lot inexorable - mais évitable - d’hospitalisations et de décès. Partout la qualité de la veille sanitaire se dégrade. https://t.co/Xgm1ZQ4ckY pic.twitter.com/N7oQum4oVi

  1/4 - Une 10è vague semble en train de se former en Europe. Les séquences (Fig. Europe, Autriche) montrent une rapide progression de #XBB15. Ce sous-variant d’Omicron est connu, il représente 60% des séquences aux USA, 80% à NYC. Ce n’est certes pas un monstre tentaculaire,…

  2/4 - Mais #XBB15 échappe aux anticorps monoclonaux et aux vaccins. Les personnes âgées et immunodéprimées peuvent réduire leur risque de formes graves en se testant par PCR désormais au moindre symptôme et en prenant du Paxlovid.

  3/4 - Chacun peut chercher à réduire son risque de contaminations en portant un masque #FFP2 en lieu clos mal ventilé (<800 ppm), en ventilant au mieux. Les réinfections doivent être évitées au maximum, car pourvoyeuses de complications et de #LongCovid.

  4/4 - Mais les épidémiologistes prêchent un peu dans le désert désormais à propos du #COVID19. Comme si l’on s’était habitués en 3 ans à une maladie évitable qui engendre en Europe un excès de mortalité de 10%/an, une tension hospitalière permanente, des #LongCovid invalidants.
