Our paper about the Swedish pandemic response has now been accessed an astounding 112 thousand times in less than 10 days. It's ranked by Altmetric as one of the top 10 papers of the past 8 weeks and currently #301 of the past 11 years! 😬

And yet ... as far as I know, *not once* has the paper been mentioned in Swedish media.

Complete silence.

"They have sparked an indoor air revolution that will impact public health for decades to come"

The US @WhiteHouse came out a few days ago with clear messaging that #covidisairborne that both @WHO, and oddly, @CDCgov have been hesitant to do.
They are 100% correct and those inertia-bound scientists around the world spouting scientific nonsense in defence of ... well, nothing but medical "tradition" need to adjust their world views to fit the science, not the other way around.
The lessons of this pandemic put us on the verge of an infectious disease public health revolution. We saw what happened around the world with influenza rates as we implemented precautions against Covid. They plummeted. NPI work.

There's sadly a very good chance that China is about to turn into a massive morgue and a SARS-CoV-2 variant factory. It's not because Omicron is unstoppable, it's because the west decided to #letitrip, making it harder and harder to prevent outbreaks.
While compared to Europe, China currently looks like this - Image
The problem is when you look closer - Image

Question for #longcovid sufferers that improved after vaccinations.

I was "mildly" infected in wave 1 and very ill for most of 2020. Jan 2021 I was hospitalized with a reinfection, but LC improved significantly for some time then began to worsen again after a couple of months. >
Then I was vaccinated and it improved further. Slightly worsened, then dose 2 improved things even more. Slightly worsened then dose 3 improved things again and I felt good enough I was planning on a return to training.
>
The last 2-3 weeks though I seem to be reverting badly. Utter exhaustion. Need 15+hrs sleep to feel functional. Tachycardia. GERD worsening. Nausea. Stomach pains and diarrhea.

My day today,

1. I took my 15yr old son to the Doctor, where they did a test. His results were worse than an elderly person with COPD. Thank you #LongCovid. Thank you #AndersTegnell. Thank you @Folkhalsomynd

>
2. We spoke to relatives in Russia, who claimed Russia was defending itself from attacks by Ukraine and NATO. We then spoke to our mutual, elderly, cousin, in a bomb shelter in Kyiv, expecting to die.

>
3. I spoke to my brother, in Brisbane, Australia. He is surrounded by floodwaters. Some places have had 1 *metre* of rain in a few hours. More rain fell in 2 days than in a usual 4 months. And it rains a lot in Brisbane normally.

Unconfirmed reports from a UA parliamentarian that Poland will let Ukraine fly combat missions from Polish airbase.

If true this sounds very risky as Putin may see it as NATO involvement and retaliate.

But! It may be a very smart move and here's why...

ukraine.segodnya.ua/amp-ukraine/ev…
Right now, Putin is essentially daring NATO to get involved. I suspect he believes they won't because of the risk of nuclear war.

He believes however he will take Ukraine, forcing a surrender once he begins mass bombing civilians ala Grozny, Aleppo and Homs.
>
Today's use of cluster munitions and (reportedly) a thermobaric weapon are warnings... This is what's coming.

I believe however that NATO won't standby if there is mass slaughter of civilians on our doorstep, not to mention millions of refugees

NATO will intervene directly

More than 1yr after my son fell ill from Covid and never fully recovered he finally - after I demanded it - has a diagnosis of "post-covid" and finally - after I demanded them - had appropriate blood tests conducted.

The result? The Dr just called to say we should take him to ER
A year. MORE THAN A FUCKING YEAR.

I'm furious.
And just for context - He turns 16 next week. He lost an entire term of school because he was fatigued. He now only makes 3-4 days/wk (if that). He's had to change his choices for his high school streams.
