COVID-19 Surges Linked to Spike in Heart Attacks

New data analysis from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai found that deaths from heart attacks rose significantly during pandemic sur

Notice how many "young, healthy" celebrities have been dying of heart attacks over the past couple years? Notice how every article wrings their hands and wonders, "What could possibly be happening?" Here's proof that we knew what covid was doing to our cardiovascular systems back in 2022. Mask up. Keep your heart healthy.

"Infighting" is a sort of useless term. It's a thought terminating cliche.

Flag discourse is infighting but so is discussion around transmisogyny and racism in the queer community.

When you complain about infighting, you're making a vague and cowardly condemnation of both unwarranted and genuine concerns about the larger community instead of saying what your actual problem is.

Wastewater-based surveillance of respiratory viruses in Northern Tuscany (Italy): Challenges and added value for public health purposes

Why we still need to mask:

For SARS-CoV-2, the correlation was highly significant between clinical and hospitalization data (ρ = 0.8460), but not significant between wastewater and clinical or hospitalization data (ρ = 0.1682 and ρ = 0.0569, respectively). SARS-CoV-2 RNA was found in wastewater even in period when clinical cases were not reported, indicating a continuous community circulation.

Wastewater decoupling from clinical data shows potential for an international lack of testing.

Highlights •SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater showed circulation even in absence of clinical reports. •Human Adenovirus respiratory species showed a seasonal distribution. •Respiratory Syncytial Virus was locally detected in wastewater during national epidemic season. •Influenza virus was never detected, even during the period of highest circulation. •Detection strategies and methods must be specifically targeted to the surveyed pathogens.

Abstract During the COVID-19 pandemic, wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) showed great potential as an early warning system and could complement human clinical surveillance. This study aimed to highlight the added value of WBS for respiratory infections alongside different clinical surveillance systems. Sewage collected at the entry of four Wastewater Treatment Plants in Northern Tuscany (Italy) were analyzed for SARS-CoV-2, Human Adenovirus (HAdV), Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and Influenza Virus (IV), over two years. Clinical data for COVID-19 were available for the study area, while data for other viruses came from national virological surveillance. For SARS-CoV-2, the correlation was highly significant between clinical and hospitalization data (ρ = 0.8460), but not significant between wastewater and clinical or hospitalization data (ρ = 0.1682 and ρ = 0.0569, respectively). SARS-CoV-2 RNA was found in wastewater even in period when clinical cases were not reported, indicating a continuous community circulation. HAdVs were detected in 74.3 % of samples, but most of the sequences identified belonged to enteric species (HAdV-F41), indicating the need of distinguishing the species causing respiratory diseases for the surveillance. RSV were found only in winter 2022–2023, while IV had not been detected in wastewater, probably due to poor test sensitivity. In conclusion, although there may be various challenges in testing different targets, WBS can provide pathogen-specific situational assessment which complements existing surveillance systems.

‘capitalism works’ factoid actually untrue. the 62 people who own half the world’s wealth are outliers and should be eaten.

Absolutely nuts how they made up a number for this satire post and the correction is that reality is *more absurd* than the number they chose

[anarchistmemedistro]

no i’m afraid it’s even worse than that. 62 was correct in 2016 when the original post was made.

There is no greater example of the selfish, antisocial, and solipsistic American spirit than the belief, held by millions, that one is entitled to set off loud and violent fireworks days before any relevant holiday or special occasion, even unto midnight

Triggering the PTSD of military veterans is the only positive use case for fireworks.

It's so important to acknowledge the very real and sometimes truly horrible failings of the healthcare profession and the pharmaceutical industry while never ever ever letting them drive us into the arms of pseudoscientific bullshit. This is something I feel really strongly about.

(The real kicker is the people saying stuff like "getting old sucks" are in their 20s and 30s.)

[covid-safer-hotties]

Every time this post comes around, someone tries to minimize this by saying "20 and 30 year olds always complained about this stuff" but what they're ignoring is that today's 20 and 30 year olds are complaining about the symptoms of dementia, cancer, and compromised immune systems, not just "I can't stay up for 48 hours anymore it sucks!"

"I wish I could donate to [chronic disease charity] but cash is tight right now."

Okay. Wear a mask in public spaces, then. Make sure people with chronic illnesses can go to the pharmacy and grocery store with less risk to their health because they're at higher risk from communicable illnesses like covid, flu, and RSV. Prevent more viral-triggered cases of POTS, ME/CFS, MS, Alzheimer's, and more by lessening the spread of viral disease.

Quit cosplaying temporarily embarassed Daddy Warbucks and do something that materially benefits the cause you claim to support AND signals your support and care for those who are disabled and chronically ill.
