@IntrovertProbss Yep, it's called "Revenge Bedtime Procrastination" and I'm a multi-decade practitioner of this 😂😭

Just spoke with my CDC sources: a new COVID-19 variant, NB.1.8.1, is spreading across Louisiana, NYC, LA, DC, Colorado, and more. It's also fueling surges in China, Hong Kong, and other parts of Asia.

Razor blade throat sounds relatively mild. A Beijing resident, infected for nearly 10 days, experienced fever, sore throat, blood-streaked phlegm, nosebleeds, and extreme fatigue, calling this wave “terrifying.”

The new NB.1.8.1 variant is the most dangerous so far, and presents a particularly insidious mix of immune evasion and infectivity that makes it a significant threat.

@drseanmullen Direct link to the article for those who can't see the subtweet: Cognitive Slowing, Dysfunction in Verbal Working Memory, Divided Attention and Response Inhibition in Post COVID-19 Condition in Young Adults (May 21, 2025) https://t.co/kD9RLYEdOW

After COVID-19 infection, about 30% of people have clinically persisting symptoms, characterized as Post COVID-19 Condition (PCC). One of the most reported symptoms in PCC is cognitive dysfunction,...

I’ve spent two decades studying how brains age. And I’ve never seen anything quite like this. In normal aging, some neurons die—but it’s gradual, region-specific, and the brain compensates remarkably well. Most of what we see is driven by loss of synaptic connections, not
Significant, long-lasting cognitive impairments in young adults. Verbal working memory was significantly impaired + lower performance in divided attention & response inhibition. The observed increased reaction time in all cognitive tasks may demonstrate cognitive slowing.

I mask inside 😷, wear shoes and clothes, use an umbrella when it rains, a hat for the sun, a seatbelt in the car, a helmet on the bike. I understand risk and take measures to minimize it. I use my brain to think. I cherish my health. I protect my family. I'm weird like that.

The Trump admin has terminated HICPAC, the CDC’s infection control committee. The committee sets national standards for hand-washing, mask-wearing & isolating sick patients. This reckless move will make patients at healthcare facilities much more vulnerable to deadly infections

People are being fired for wearing a mask to work. This is horrible and against public health. We need to pass laws that explicitly protect the right to mask.

You are not crazy for still masking. You are not paranoid for demanding clean air. You are not overreacting. You are paying attention. And you may be protecting your future self—the version of you that still knows your name.

We’re being told COVID is “mild now.” That we can just keep catching it, over and over. But repeat COVID infections aren’t just risky for your lungs or heart. They’re dangerous for your brain. They may be accelerating cognitive decline.

If you’ve ever loved someone with dementia, you know the grief begins long before death. It’s a slow-motion erasure. A vanishing act. Piece by piece, the person you love slips away. Now imagine that future being mass-produced—and ignored.

NB.1.8.1 grows like a monster in a lot of countries now. South Korea: 6% in March->20% early April Singapore: 6% in March->11% in 4.1-4.15 -> 22% after 4.15 Thailand: 55% in April Queensland: 1% in 3.1-4.9-> 15% after 4.10
A new variant, NB.1.8.1, tops collection 42 with 90% weekly advantage. It quickly grows from 0 to nearly 100% in Hong Kong in the past two months. https://t.co/QtuFIxN0Jw NB.1.8.1 is evolved from NB.1. It mimics the spike of XEC on a different backbone(XDV) and adds some more.

@CRFoundationUK Good ventilation needs to be mandated by law. It's the only way compliance will ever happen.
