Covid Caution - LP.8.1, NB.1.8.1, XFC, XEC
@CovidCaution
Collection of news, resources, discourse on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic & health advocacy. Occasional venting & hot-takes. Let data be the light in the dark.
The WHO never said the pandemic was over, and I'm sorry you were mislead by corporate interests that wanted you to prop up the economy with your health by going back into the office, spending, and traveling. Here is the WHO in Jan 2024, and December 2024 stating the facts.

This new Nature Immunology study is wild. Turns out, CD8+T cells can go into an exhausted-like state without any chronic infection. No persistent virus. No repeated antigen. Just broken mitochondria. Complex III.🧵
Northwestern University scientists show CD8+ T cells need mitochondrial respiration, but not ROS, for proliferation. Yet mitochondrial ROS is essential for building and maintaining naive and memory T cells, shaping immune cell fate. nature.com/articles/s4159…

The vax-only strategy is like someone driving drunk, speeding, and driving thru red lights because “well, my car has a seatbelt.” Layered mitigations are necessary to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 and all its devastating effects.
"Imagine being so harmed by an infection that everyone around you refers to as harmless that you can’t walk more than 500 steps a day. Imagine you have to plan your week around taking a shower (sitting down)." thegauntlet.news/p/the-pandemic…
I’m trying to come to terms with two facts The vast majority of people will not wear a respirator/mask, whatever you tell them AND The vast majority of people will become avoidably disabled within the next decade because they didn’t wear a respirator/mask when they should have
Tired of y’all ignoring science about covid, but what other option is there but to persist? Anywho here I am in my private, covid cautious tattoo studio where I’m loudly political and require masks and yet, have zero issues from clients about it all 💘
I am tired, yet I persist.
People who think they aren’t getting sick yet never test or implement motivations have no idea how many times they’ve had COVID. It’s 49% asymptomatic. And that doesn’t mean “mild” it means silent damage. Credit to /u/homeschool rock dad on Reddit
Happy to see some European wastewater / case tracking information.

By not masking if you’re able to, you’re automatically abandoning disabled people and pushing them out of those spaces for your own comfort. I can’t tell you how infuriating it is to have to convince people that disabled people deserve to exist in society.
The majority of COVID-19 infections occur via near-field transmission (aerosols travelling 1-2m from infectious person). Sitting below a ceiling fan reduces aerosol concentration in the breathing zone by 87%. @ukhadds sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Now Bridget is gone. This is why you need to take people seriously when they’re struggling. Heartbreaking
I called my mom. I told her I'm afraid I'm going to die. Her response? She hung up. 😫#MECFS
Bryan Johnson, the billionaire with his own entire lab and personal doctors, whose sole mission in life and business is to attain immortality, had his lung capacity reduced by 15% from a "mild" case COVID. Because there is no such thing as a "mild" infection.

Gastrointestinal cancers, which include colorectal, stomach and pancreatic cancer, are rising dramatically in younger adults, though doctors aren’t fully sure why. nbcnews.com/health/health-…
I feel like I should rename this account to CollapseCaution. Basic environmental impact is out the window. What hope is there for real disease mitigation? The future looks bleak.

Viruses like HIV and CMV don’t just evade immunity - they reshape the host from within. One way they do it? By targeting the cell’s ability to make proteins. SARS-CoV-2 belongs in this group. It interferes with how ribosomes are made and used. What that means - and why it matters…
