H5N1 virus survival

"viral RNA was detected in few cases in the aquatic fauna and flora, especially in bivalves and labyrinth fish, although these organisms seemed to be mostly passive carriers of the virus rather than host allowing virus replication"

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22514622/
H5N1 high pathogenicity avian influenza virus survival in different types of water

"Prolonged infectivity of the virus in Baltic seawater (brackish, 7.8 ppt) was also seen."

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20521724/
"virus persisted, & remained infective in aquatic environments, for 12 days at 22-35C & up to 20 days at 4C, irrespective of the type of water...significant decrease for AIV persistence models was recorded for sea water, after 12 days, at 35C"
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22106514/#:~:t…
HPAI H5N1 "RNA detected in tadpoles up to 14 days after immersion in contaminated water...& until end of the 8 & 20 days of experiment in mussel & fighting fish. Viral loads detected in organs of these animals were relatively high"

🤔 Catfish anyone? ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

@AuDHDeep1 @1goodtern To be fair, I think most of us who are COVID cautious have to deal with people who don't understand why, and they think it's us who have a problem.

Yes, it's typically a problem of understanding of risk, but their problem, not ours! 😆

Most really don't understand the risk
@AuDHDeep1 @1goodtern They don't understand the risk to themselves, the risk to their kids, they don't understand they will keep getting reinfected, likely suffering cumulative harms over time as a result. They assume the risk is just to the concerned person at best, & they resent life being limited
@AuDHDeep1 @1goodtern It's a problem if less supportive or unsupportive partners go to others who also don't understand the real risks from the ongoing pandemic, & sadly there are many medical & psychologist professionals who really don't know enough about it either, & assume irrational anxiety 🤦‍♂️

BBC: "The Covid pandemic may have impacted brain health in people in the UK aged 50 & over, according to a new study."

You don't say?? Not a surprise when everyone keeps getting infected by SARS-COV-2 that we've known causes brain damage for over 3 years

Well done #TaylorSwift

Another huge global star making their tours more COVID safe

We need more stars & their management explaining why it's so important to avoid being regularly reinfected by SARS-COV-2

18 February 2024


@taylorswift13 @taylornation13au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/why-taylor-swi…
"a music industry source told Yahoo Lifestyle that Taylor has no plans to be seen anywhere but the stage whilst in Australia, nor does she intend on meeting any fans"

Since Covid, her team had to “permanently axe these (backstage meet and greets)
as they pose too much risk”
"When #TaylorSwift is on tour, strict measures are put into place to stop her interacting with anyone outside of her 'bubble'. They can not risk her getting sick under any circumstances."

Great to see Swifty taking such care of her health. Very wise commercially too.

Adele is wise: “Everyone that I know that I work with has fucking COVID, so it’s a miracle that I haven’t had it yet,” she added. “And I really do love chatting to you, but I don’t want to get sick, I’ll take selfies from a distance or shoot your vid."
nme.com/news/music/ade…
Adele: “I might have symptoms and then I can’t do my show and I will be damned if I cancel any more of these shows ... I just can’t risk getting ill. Honestly, my immune system is in the gutter and I want to be close to you and stuff like that, but I just can’t risk it.”
No wonder Caesar's Palace has spent > $450,000 on an air purification system to "protect her voice" (presumably including HEPA filtration to help ensure she doesn't catch COVID from the presumably mostly unmasked punters watching her shows, seeing how concerned she is to avoid it

There is a reason that the pandemic's true death toll is running 4x higher than the official death toll.

Long COVID kills

All those strokes, myocardial infarctions, new & exacerbated rapidly progressing dementias that follow COVID infections, & the many other post acute deaths
Image
Long COVID was defined as ALL health harm that follows due to SARS-COV-2 infection. Why? Because SARS-COV-2 is systemic & can harm ANY organ & tissue within body, directly or indirectly
ALL these harms need to be included when weighing the cost of inaction
Long COVID causes great suffering & is killing millions, it doesn't just make a few people feel a bit tired

Neurological, brain, endocrine, cardiovascular, & organ damage

Your circulation supports all of your tissues, if you harm that, all tissues can be harmed indirectly

Long-term risks of respiratory diseases SARS-CoV-2 patients: a longitudinal population-based cohort study

"patients with COVID-19 may have an increased risk of developing respiratory diseases ... RISK INCREASES WITH severity of infection and REINFECTION"

sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
"Even during the 24-month follow-up, the risk of asthma and bronchiectasis CONTINUED TO INCREASE. Hence, implementing appropriate follow-up strategies for these individuals is crucial to monitor and manage potential long-term respiratory health issues."
"Our analyses suggest that COVID-19 may be significantly associated with higher risk of developing respiratory diseases, such as asthma, bronchiectasis, COPD, ILD, PVD and lung cancer"
