Climate, Covid, Science, Kindness, Equity, (parent, long term sick) 🇸🇪🇺🇦 🇪🇺
Joined August 2021
We have been in a season of rewarding irresponsibility for too long. Being irresponsible can sometimes bring short term gains. And in our instant gratification society, short term gains sell. But they lead to long term losses.

Prof. Helen Petousis-Harris, Auckland Univ.: There's not enough awareness of the impact of Covid-19 on overall health. "What many people don't realise is that getting Covid repeatedly is not like building immunity, it's more like accumulating damage" https://t.co/ILguanpnUz

It's one of those charts that just blows my mind. You're baffled why people are sick all the time? You're baffled why healthcare is struggling? Repeat Covid infections weakened you. It's not rocket science. I mean, the shape of that graph is, but the science isn't.

Postcovid är vår tids stora folkhälsoproblem. På Harvard har man uppskattat samhällskostnaden till ofattbara 3,7 biljoner (!) dollar. Ändå pratar vi inte om det. Det är som att vi sjuka påminner för mycket om en tid vi aldrig vill tillbaka till. Tiden som vi är kvar i. (4/10)

Many with long COVID remain on the job despite reduced ability to work In a Swedish survey, 51% rated their ability to work as “poor,” but only 18% were on sick leave. https://t.co/g5C84YJyfb

Today at the ophthalmologist office for my husband's cataract check, I stuck pieces of paper w/ COVID IS AIRBORNE written on them inside the bathroom stalls & one note on top of the poop spreading air hand dryer that says this machine spreads covid into your lungs. 😂😂

I Storbritannien 🇬🇧 har utbildningsdepartementet gjort en "important recognition that airborne transmission is preventable". Samtidigt i Sverige 🇸🇪: 🥱💤 Varför kan inte Sverige 🇸🇪 när Storbritannien 🇬🇧 kan? #RenLuft #VentileraMera #CleanAirRevolution

1. Yes it did, and it continues to do so. SARS-CoV-2 is a virus that, amongst many other symptoms, can cause profound fatigue and cognitive dysfunction. Long Covid - much more common than people realise - can extend these symptoms for months, years.
Covid did something to the ENERGY of the world. Everything feels OFF. People are colder. Lonelier. More divided. Less connected. Social skills DIED. Families broken. Community feels DEAD. COVID broke something in society that never got fixed.

En bild som säger mer än tusen ord, men säger några ord ändå: 🥇Vinnare 😷mask på 🤒många andra borta pga luftvägssjukdomar Det här är stort, eftersom det kommer att påverka opinionen i Sverige. Inte till att svänga än kanske, men nog en början.🤞

Finland's epidemic 22 Feb 2026: the amount of virus detected in wastewater is now 60% higher than during the first Omicron wave in 2022. The post-Omicron baseline appears permanently higher compared with the pre-Omicron period; repeated waves show no sign of diminishing. 1/x

They wanted to try their natural herd immunity theory anyway. Here we are years later without no herd immunity in sight. Just endless waves of covid infections. And still an excess mortality and deterioration of health in children.
For 5-9 and 10-14 year olds, 63% and 48% of the cumulative increase in mortality since 2019 took place in 2024, respectively. For both age groups, the 2024 increase is higher than either the 2020 ir 2021 increases. For these age groups, the pandemic may be just beginning. 4/x

Jonas Ludvigsson and Anders Tegnell knew already in July 2020 that there was an excess mortality of 68 % among school age children during the first wave of Covid. But they kept it a secret. No closed schools, no infection control measures in schools.

It is a daily mystery to me that hospitals remain a hub of airborne infection. The place that should know best, knows worst.
