The old meeting industry normal is long over, and many event professionals are still hoping and waiting for a new normal…

Reliability and calibration of respiratory virus prevalences from wastewater:
It can be shown that when properly done, wastewater measurements (the colored curves) are in high correlation with sentinel system detections (the gray bars).

www.youtube.com@DenisCOVIDinfoguy they also cite https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35810238/
which has this absolute adjective of a hypothesis:
SARS-CoV-2 may bind to ACE2 in order to enter the host brainstem cell and change baroreflex sensitivity
because
The integral parts of the brain renin-angiotensin system, as ACE2 enzyme, are highly expressed in the brainstem, which may also be involved in baroreflex sensitivity, playing an important role in HRV.
which would help explain POTS!!

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-82411-w has tidbits that range from interesting to wow
non-hospitalized individuals who had COVID-19 present a decrease in heart rate variability with a predominance of the sympathetic nervous system; (2) above all, those evaluated early in the first weeks after infection have less parasympathetic modulation; (3) moderate to large effect sizes were found when comparing groups; (4) the time after diagnosis influences positively while age is negatively associated with HRV parameters
and in a bit of detail:
the LF band, which reflects both modulations but with greater sympathetic predominance, showed a significant increase in the evaluated group during the first weeks after infection, with a tendency to decrease over time. In contrast, the HF band, which reflects parasympathetic activity, exhibited a significant reduction in those evaluated early, indicating diminished parasympathetic activity. However, no increase in this variable was observed over time.
which they immediately explain:
This behavior can be attributed to the different recovery dynamics of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems after stressors like infection. Sympathetic modulation tends to normalize more quickly following the acute stress response, whereas parasympathetic modulation requires more time to recover, especially after inflammatory states. Additionally, COVID-19 induces vagal suppression, which reduces parasympathetic activity and prolongs its recovery period
vagal refers to the vagus nerve folks, stay calm

NatureMajor funding cuts to the vaccine pipeline announced in the US, but important advances for mucosal Covid vaccines globally:
- 10th mucosal vax reaches phase 2 (in Canada)
- Another human challenge trial as prep for mucosal trials started in Singapore
- Trial results, including one for intranasal vax in kids in China
And lots more in my latest next generation Covid vaccine update now online @PLOS
This month, there are results from 3 clinical trials…

covid disinfection
I don't remember who, but someone had posted on here about a far UVC light solution for disinfecting #COVID and other viruses from the air in their office??
I seem to have lost the link to that site. Does anyone else remember the post, or have recommendations for a far UVC lamp?
Edit: Ideally, I'm looking for a product I can buy today to install in my house.
Thanks in advance!
I did find nukit222, which might have been it.
Hey 
#Ontario friends,
A reminder for those voting in #Kitchener South-Hespeler on April 28th:
#Poilievre's candidate Matt Strauss, is the doctor who said he'd rather give his kids #Covid-19 than give them food from McDonald's. He then got Elon Musk's help to fund his lawsuit against Queen's University, who had reprimanded him for his public criticism of health measures implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Queen's University and the head of its medicine department…

"Wake Up and Smell the C*VID isn’t a typical play—it’s an intervention. A rupture. A refusal.
It refuses the erasure of an ongoing mass disabling event."

CanaryThat stage of a cold (or #covid ) (stuffed nose, cough, sore throat) when you sleep better in a chair with good head& neck support and a slightly reclining back than in your comfy bed because breathing
@nigelharpur In BC - it's due to our #PublicHealth official being an #AntiScience #capitalist #eugenicist. #FireBonnieHenry
I’m on day 3 of my first #COVID infection (probably caught at work), and already regreting having switched job 6 months ago from full remote to partial remote.
Fever, barely no sleep, coughing, throat pain when ingesting food, headache.
Wife also got it (from me, day 2), with migrains and vomits as bonus.
0/20 won’t recommend.
"#VOA told the Chinese people about the military crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in #Tiananmen Square and the deadly #COVID outbreak in Wuhan when their own government wouldn't. It beamed reports into Iran about the democracy protests in 2009, it told the people of North Korea about their government's gulags and Russians about atrocities in Ukraine. VOA has been supported by every president since 1942 – Republican and Democrat … all but one."
@cremevax@infosec.exchangeVia Katelyn Jetelina ("Your Local Epidemiologist"), the CDC's postponed ACIP meeting, which advises the CDC on vaccines, has finally been rescheduled to April 15 and 16th.
I'm happy to see that Moderna's mRNA-1283 #covid #covid19 NextCOVE vaccine is still on the draft meeting agenda. Relatedly I noticed that mRNA-1283's clinical trials records were updated last week to add study sites in Japan. I had been worried that this NextCOVE vaccine was going to disappear off the face of the Earth, but apparently that's not true. Whew.
More generally on the subject of fall availability of covid vaccines in the US, Jetelina seems to remain hopeful. She thinks the big question is if insurance will cover the cost. I recently expressed some pessimism about the availability of mRNA vaccines in the future, but, unlike me, Jetelina really does have insights into the workings of the CDC. So I am revising my vaccine vibe-o-meter to something a bit more positive. :)

@murodegrizeco@toad.socialGood phrase, I like it!
I had a boss who commented on me wearing an #N95 mask, that they thought it was good that everyone at our workplace could do about covid what they felt comfortable with.
Like it was just a personal choice.
Hella a thing to say!
I never have a fast comeback. But I wish I'd said,
"Sure, just like some prefer safety belts and airbags. Some like the trip through the windshield. It's just a personal choice!"
