I continue to see accounts that raise alarms over Walgreens' #COVID19 testing data. This is not an effective way to evaluate risks due to very low testing volume and bias.

In three months, Walgreens' positive rate increased 135% increase to the highest level in a year.

In that same period, COVID in US wastewater is up 83% to the highest level since March.

Evaluating wastewater from 1,376 sites representing 45% of the population will ALWAYS be more accurate than a few thousand PCR tests.

Now, it's not necessarily *bad* that Public Health focuses on keeping the health care system running. Somebody needs to keep it running!

What *is* bad is that there doesn't seem to be any other governmental department that *is* paying attention to keeping humans running smoothly I'm not even sure what department that would be.

Maybe the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction? That appears to be the ministry which pays disability/unemployment benefits. They should care about the long-term damage from COVID and its long-term effects... but perhaps the rate is still slow enough that it's not going to affect the current election cycle.

I don't have data for BC or Canada, but here's a graph showing a steep increase after the start of the pandemic in the rate at which people in the US have been getting approved for disability.

Graph from the Federal Reserve Bank of Saint Louis, MO, USA which shows a dramatic increase in the rate that people over 16 become disabled (which I assume is "who are get disability payments from the government"), starting shortly after the pandemic started.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that COVID is "like the flu". It was never "like the flu". Traditional upper respiratory diseases get into the respiratory system *and then stop*. They just aren't very good at getting into other cells. COVID, however, gets into cells via the ACE2 receptor, and there are ACE2 receptors in almost every cell.

In autopsy studies, they have found SARS-CoV-2 virus just about everywhere they have looked: lungs, heart, brain, kidney, gut, testicles, ovarian fluid. It is true that in many of the research papers, they only look for RNA (because it's easy), which can't tell if it's infectious or just fragments of no-longer-dangerous virus. HOWEVER, there have *also* been a fair number of studies which have found *infectious* viruses, including this one which found infectious virus in *skull sawdust* that came from sawing open skulls to do brain autopsies:

That show on Netflix, Travelers, literally did #COVID19 to the letter in 2017. The story was a metaplot across multiple episodes. The virus originally killed only 70 000 but time travelers messed with the virus to cause a pandemic. A supporting character who works in an #EmergencyRoom brings up the lack of masks and they make a plot point out of him giving a box of masks to a main character on the sly.

Someone asked me a few days ago, "If COVID is as bad as you say it is, why isn't Public Health doing more about it?"

It's because in Canada, Public Health's *main* job is keeping the *health care system* running smoothly, not keeping *you* running smoothly.

You can see this by looking at how they make decisions. On this page, PHAC explains how they decided to limit vaccines to certain groups: canada.ca/en/public-health/ser

If you look at the research on cost per Quality of Adjusted Life-Years, the papers overwhelmingly *only* look at the cost to the health care system of dealing with the initial (acute) illness. No consideration to chronic effects or of the costs to the humans (e.g. in lost pay).

Some of the papers looked a little deeper, but the ones that included Long COVID assumed that Long COVID only lasted for six months. Only one considered people who did not seek medical attention in their acute phase. Only one considered non-covid long-term effects, and only for people who were in ICU.

Is Selena Gomez's health more important to her than your health is to you? Apparently so, based on the photos I see from my friends with their unmasked travel, concerts, and events.

IMO, too many are playing Russian Roulette with their health. Your next #COVID19 infection might be mild and short, but each infection only increases your risk of Long COVID or other chronic health issues.

Be smart, like Selena.

Reports are coming in about large scale #COVID infections from #WHY2025. Not even an outdoor camping festival can avoid being a superspreader event.

Tools like Afterparty 19 can be useful for tracking infections post-hoc if they're used by attendees. But that's going to be too late for a lot of people who perform knowledge work who are now at #LongCovid fatigue risk.

Future similar events need to review their policies and procedures to try and minimise the risk of the ongoing pandemic. With #EMFCamp spinning back up, is there a #COVID19 team working on monitoring, testing, ventilation etc.? I would love to volunteer my time and experience here, if it would be taken seriously by organisers.

I post a lot about #COVID19 risks based on wastewater data. Periodically, someone pops into my thread to suggest wastewater surveillance isn't reliable due to different variants. A new STUDY finds that “estimates of selective advantage and reproduction numbers derived from wastewater maintain their advantages over traditional clinical data, even when there are differences in shedding among variants.”

nature.com/articles/s41467-025

NatureEstimated transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 variants from wastewater are unbiased and robust to differential shedding - Nature CommunicationsEpidemiological estimates from wastewater are not biased by testing rates but may be subject to other biases. Here, the authors investigate the impact of variable virus shedding profiles for different SARS-CoV-2 variants on estimates of their selection advantage.

I posted on LinkedIn about a new STUDY that demonstrates that Long COVID has a significant impact on people's ability to work. It is also associated with greater financial toxicity. Meanwhile, vaccines reduce the adverse impact on one's ability to work. #COVID19 infections are not just mild, acute illnesses but are associated with adverse career and financial impacts for some.

www.linkedin.comCOVID infections leave a financial impact, and vaccines help to reduce the adverse impact on one's ability to work. | Augie RayCOVID infections leave a financial impact, and vaccines help to reduce the adverse impact on one's ability to work. These are the findings of a new #COVID19 study. It is yet another reminder that COVID infections are nothing to take lightly. The study tracked 3,663 US adult participants who had at least one reported infection from December 2020 to August 2022, with follow-up electronic surveys collected through April 2, 2024. Some of the findings included: - Of the participants, 27.1% reported current LC (Long COVID), 71.1% never had LC, and 1.8% had resolved LC. - The current LC group had increased odds of missing work due to their health (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.62) and of experiencing work impairment (aOR, 11.82) compared with the group that never had LC.  - The current LC group had higher odds of having moderate to high financial toxicity compared to those with no LC (aOR, 5.20) and the resolved-LC cohort (aOR, 3.16). - Vaccination was protective and associated with 29% lower odds of work impairment and a 34% lower incidence of impairment in non-work activities. COVID infections are not simply mild, acute illnesses for many. Each reinfection raises the odds of suffering from chronic Long COVID issues. And, as this research demonstrates, that can have a profound impact on your ability to work, productivity, and finances. COVID infection risks are rising in the US. A little bit of care--such as wearing a mask, avoiding indoor crowds, and opting to work from home when viral activity is high, if you can--can do a lot to protect you and your family. https://lnkd.in/gTNyqwTQ

News Release 12-Aug-2025 What exactly is Long COVID? New UCLA research shows the answer depends on whom you ask Lack of a standard definition leads to widely varying estimates, complicating care and research Peer-Reviewed Publication University of California - Los Angeles Health Sciences What is Long COVID? Despite hundreds of published studies and millions affected worldwide, the medical field still lacks a clear answer. New research from UCLA finds that the definition of Long COVID varies so widely across published studies that the percentage of people identified as having the condition can differ dramatically, making it harder to treat patients and advance research.
