Weil in der Tagesschau gerade ein Bericht über die derzeitige Grippewelle kam…

Wurde die Abwassersurveillance AMELAG (https://robert-koch-institut.github.io/Abwassersurveillance_AMELAG_-_Wochenbericht/#/) noch einmal über das Jahresende 2025 fortgesetzt? Oder ist das jetzt ausgelaufen?

Es gibt noch andere Dinge wie die ARE-Berichterstattung (https://edoc.rki.de/handle/176904/39) und die GrippeWeb Wochenberichte (https://edoc.rki.de/handle/176904/7797), aber ich fand den Blick auf AMELAG immer ganz interessant.

I found an old journal of mine from 20 years ago and was interested to note in January 2006 that:

1. we'd just had the hottest December on record in Sydney #Heatwave

2. the USA had revealed its underbelly with its response to the #NewOrleansHurricane

3. increasing #terrorism was hanging darkly over us (John Howard's new terrorism laws had just come in)

4. people were clutching at their mobile phones to feel loved and needed

5. and we'd just lost #TheAshes 2005-06.

When people say things started to go downhill with #Covid, perhaps they forget that the world is changing all the time, and sometimes for the better.

I felt low and depressed at the state of the world 20 years ago, and yet I was cocooned compared to now. Yet we cope and manage and go on and find new ways to bring change for good.

among Quebec healthcare workers demonstrated that the cumulative risk of developing long COVID from an acute infection is 17% and increases with each infection.

and

many [family doctors] are themselves incapacitated with long COVID, and those who are not lack education and training on how to manage it. “The family doctors I know who were disabled by long COVID often did not know they had long COVID,” said Hulme. They would confuse it with other conditions, such as perimenopause.

and

There is a lot of stigma around [long COVID. Physicians with it] have had a really hard time going off work. They have been made to feel very guilty and [risk] losing their practice.”

Da sieh' mal einer an. Diese hauchdünnen OP-Masken, die selbst von einer altersschwachen Tagesfliege auch ohne viel Anlauf problemlos durchschlagen werden könnten, eigenen sich weder gegen #Covid noch für den Operationssaal!
Da brat' mir doch einen 'nen Storch.

Ob das irgendwann mal auffällt, das wir seit vier Jahren in Folge Rekorde bei Atemwegserkrankungen sehen? Und das man da etwas machen könnte 🤷‍♂️

The noon news show on Swiss TV station RTS has a report on high Flu numbers in the canton JU.

#COVID is not mentioned, or only once as an aside.

Several doctors are interviewed without wearing masks.

In other scenes, when they do wear masks, it's only baggy blues, that in one instance is barely covering the nose.

They recommend hand washing, getting vaccinated (too late).

It is so frustrating to see that i, a stupid ignorant random guy, is informed better than people who run hospitals.

complete COVID-safety #joy this winterval: went to a gathering where all 9 other people kindly agreed to take a NAAT on arrival… then a ~50-person NYE party where everyone got an on-site PCR test for COVID, flu, and RSV 🤩

Friends don't let friends give each other life-long disabilities ✊

· 43% of Latino people reported symptoms of #LongCOVID in a new survey study published in Journal of General Internal Medicine
· A case series for Long COVID using a combination of Paxlovid, valacyclovir (Valtrex) and celecoxib (Celebrex), was recently published in Frontiers of Immunology
· A new phase II clinical trial for Long COVID was recently announced in the Netherlands
