Hey all, would appreciate a post boost on this one.

I, unfortunately, got laid off last week and am looking for a new job! If you know of any going that fit my skillset of video content creation, educational CG writing, CG generalist then I'd love to hear about it!

Another Monday in a parallel universe. As HCWs, we spend our days dealing with patients who have #COVID19 (so many right now - of all ages), and helping patients with #LongCovid (of all ages), yet we have to explain to others why we won’t socialize or work indoors unmasked.

Remembering though religious reasons not to shave, I will re-up the paper because it shows improvement with a band around the beard under the mask.

Yes, reports of persistence are concerning.

I think I have seen a few ... But I think this is the recent one you are mentioning?

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10

Post mortem analysis of 27 patients an average of >3 months since last viral positivity.

"Despite apparent virological remission, lung pathology was similar to that observed in acute COVID-19 individuals, including micro- and macro-vascular thrombosis (67% of cases), vasculitis (24%), squamous metaplasia of the respiratory epithelium (30%), frequent cytological abnormalities and syncytia (67%), and the presence of dysmorphic features in the bronchial cartilage (44%)."

"SARS-CoV-2 antigens were not detected in the respiratory epithelium. In contrast, antibodies against both spike and nucleocapsid revealed the frequent (70%) infection of bronchial cartilage chondrocytes and para-bronchial gland epithelial cells."

This and other additional evidence of long term persistence and immune effects is useful and reminds us of the importance of the precautionary principle.

But it is not necessary to the argument: we should control anyway, should never have stopped trying to limit community transmission, because of the known disruption, disability and death is it still causing acutely. We've had evidence enough for years.

IHME estimates US Covid infections at staggering 1.25 million a day

This would have been halved if there had been a mask mandate a month ago

covid19.healthdata.org/united-

In the US, 600 people a day are dying of Covid.

For people who don't (yet) know anyone who died from Covid, here is a heart-breaking thread about the death of Greg Foley, a chemical engineer and assistant professor.

He describes various levels of respiratory support as he experienced them. May he rest in peace.

I’ve recently begun a new role as an advisor to the City of Reykjavik, Iceland. Stay tuned for some really interesting and exciting announcements. One of the best parts about what I get to do is the amazing diversity of cities I get to work with. Very excited about upcoming trips to get to know the city better. #Reykjavik #Iceland

@ChristosArgyrop @maggiejk@mstdn.social @Pat

yes that is a possibility too.

I think the important thing to protect your family and others is to treat it as if it's Covid if unsure, and negative rapid test=unsure. Unless you have a negative PCR, assume it's Covid and isolate as best you can - given your work and home circumstances - for 10 days.

Wearing a mask for ten days after any respiratory illness is part of public health advice in many places but it is not advice that is actively promoted by public health and I think most people would be surprised to learn about it.

Blumenfield, Kempler, and Krajcik (2006) suggest engagement in grounded in four factors:

Value- Learners tend to be engaged with material and lessons they believe are important to them. Value is also closely related to motivation, interest, and goals, all of which are addressed in the next section.

Competence- Learners tend to engage in activities they believe are within their abilities. Competence is grounded in one’s knowledge, their metacognitive abilities and their self-efficacy.

Relatedness- Learners tend to be engaged when they feel positive social connection to their peers.

Autonomy- Learners tend to be engaged when they can exercise choice about what they will study and their plan of study.

Time for a proper #commodon #introduction! I’m an Associate Prof. of #Communication Studies at Northeastern University. I study #disability and #criticaltech, kids/families’ #tech use, and disabled children’s #media use, primarily through #STS #sociology. My next book with MIT Press (Fall 2023) is “Kids Across the Spectrums: Growing Up Autistic in the Digital Age,” on what young people on the #autism spectrum are doing with media/tech, but also about what it means to “be social” with media.
