PMC COVID-19 Forecasting Model, August 26, 2024 🧵1/8 We're in uncharted territory during the back-to-school period. 1.2 million people in the U.S. are getting infected per day. 1 in 41 people (2.5%) are actively infectious.

What does an extra ~2-2.5 eACH cost for a classroom? This year it was $30 for air filters and $3 in⚡️, for a whopping $1.43 per kid per year!!! Took 7 hours to do 23 rooms. This ain't rocket science. Not a paid endorsement, no connection to brand but 0/23 failures in 3 years🤷‍♀️

Today, we granted emergency use authorization for an updated Novavax COVID-19 vaccine that more closely targets currently circulating variants to provide better protection against serious consequences of COVID-19, including hospitalization and death. fda.gov/news-events/pr…

Of late, I often wonder, if I am still capable of love despite how this pandemic has made me lose faith in so many of those I once loved, but then I catch a glimpse of my masked reflection and I remind myself what is protecting others if not proof that you are capable of love.

As we face the post-antibiotic age, a future pandemic up to 20 times worse than Covid, and an increasingly corrupt corporate political structure, maybe plants can help protect us from disease. Does This Stuff Even Work? Yeah, Looks Like It Does. okdoomer.io/does-this-stuf…

Today seems like a good day to remind people that Americans have had the equivalent of 523 9/11s from covid, and that is just the official count without connecting any dots on random cardiac events, post-viral diseases, etc. months or years after infection.

I got my Novavax Covid vaccine yesterday and I feel 100% fine today. The mRNA vaccines usually make me feel like garbage the next day. You can find it now at most locations of CVS, RiteAid, Kroger, Costco and by next week it should be at Walgreens and Walmart.
