Do you need data related to #covid19 for your research? 👀📚 Look no further! 👇
Our #PanDDemiC portal has been filled with new datasets, varying from citizens' attitudes on the #pandemic to its impact on migration, labor and municipalities. ✅
"Disney could improve ventilation and could encourage masks to stay safer but nope, just slap a legal disclaimer and you are done. No need to do anything because there are no requirements for any business from anyone."
So, one of my favourite #conferences is happening in two weeks. The program looks fantastic. There is also an #accessibility FAQ page. Nice!
Except... does the page mention #covid? No. Maybe the "hybrid experience" page mentions #covid19? No. Nothing on any 'attend' page mentions anything pandemic. You can assure yourself that the venue is non-smoking, but the word "mask" is absent. 🤷♂️ This is what collective denial looks like.

‘It will happen’: Need to prepare for new pandemic and what we’ll likely be hit with next.
A Melbourne-made COVID vaccine that shows great promise in protecting against Omicron’s many deadly mutations could be mass produced and rolled out across the globe.
🇯🇵 Japan's schools face double whammy of the FLU and COVID.
Between Sept. 11 and Sept 17:
🔹86,510 cases of COVID were reported
🔹34,665 cases of Influenza were reported
🔹2,400 schools decided to either suspend or to close school facilities altogether
🔹 48 schools reported whole facility closures
Here’s how much coronavirus people infected with COVID-19 may exhale
"Based on the new data, the team estimates that a high shedder could potentially exhale enough virus to infect someone in a closed space in about 20 seconds, making even elevator rides risky. With an average shedder, infection could take a little under 4 minutes."
In Hospitals, Viruses Are Everywhere. Masks Are Not.
"A recent study found that more cancer patients died of COVID during the Omicron surge than in the first winter wave, in part because people around them had stopped taking precautions."
Respiratory viruses can unmask or exacerbate chronic conditions of the heart, lung or kidneys and trigger autoimmune conditions. “It’s much bigger than simply the actual infection”
Each fall, the population of Madison, WI soars by 25% almost overnight as 70,000 students and faculty return to dorms, classrooms, bars, and sports venues. Here is that chart of #COVID19 in Madison wastewater. Because it's so hard to tell when classes started, I marked it for you. (1/4)
"Labor has been accused of running a “protection racket” for state premiers by opting to hold an inquiry into Australia’s COVID response instead of a royal commission with the power to compel witnesses."
Depressing that "more than half of americans plan to get latest covid booster" is good news, but it's better than last round. Hopefully utterly idiotic partisan divide is starting to wane.
Just get your shots. Yeah even republicans. I fucking hate you but your corpses are fucking up our medical systems, stop it.

journals (each category can be determined by following the links in

structured process of observable and repeatable hypothesis testing.
Summary: Hospitalizations from COVID-19 rose for an eighth straight
week to 18,871 people/week see "COVID Hospitalizations Rise for Eighth
Week in a Row" under Virology & Epidemiology).
Moderna says its upcoming COVID-19 vaccine should work against the
BA.2.86 variant that has caused worry about a possible surge in cases
(see "New Moderna Vaccine to Work Against Recent COVID Variant" under
Vaccomes, Treatment & Testing).
COVID vaccines will have a new formulation this year, according to a
decision announced today by the US Food and Drug Administration that
will focus efforts on circulating variants. The move pushes last
year's bivalent vaccines out of circulation because they will no
longer be authorized for use in the United States (see "New COVID
Vaccines Force Bivalents Out" under Policy).
The CDC is not specifically saying whether long COVID patients should
get the new COVID boosters, flu shots, or RSV vaccines, and the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) referred similar questions to the CDC
(see "Should Long COVID Patients Get the Flu, RSV, and New Booster
Shots?" under Policy).
Research continues to show that early intervention with antibiotics
reduces the risk of fatality from COID-19 (see "Early Empiric
Antibiotic Use in Patients Hospitalized With COVID-19" under Vaccines,
Treatment & Testing).
In ICU-patients ≥70 years old, COVID-19 is associated with greater
mortality rates than bacterial or viral pneumonia (see "Increased
Mortality in ICU Patients ≥70 Years Old With COVID-19 Compared to
Patients With Other Pneumonias" under COVID Complications).
After the US Food and Drug Administration authorized new monovalent
COVID vaccines, the CDC recommended the new booster vaccinations for
everyone (see "Universal Monovalent COVID Vaccines Backed by CDC"
under Policy).
About 103 million Americans had COVID-19, and about a third of those
led to long COVID. New data indicate that some cases of long COVID-19
might be going unidentified because the patient's initial infection
wasn't detected (see "Some People With Long COVID Tested Negative for
COVID-19" under COVID Complications).
Although SARS-CoV-2 infection among young children typically results
in mild infection, it can result in serious illness, including
multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, long-term sequalae, and
death. mRNA COVID-19 vaccination provides protection against
symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection for at least 4 months after
vaccination among children aged 3–5 years (see "Safety Monitoring of
mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Third Doses Among Children Aged 6 Months–5
Years" under Vaccines, Treatment & Testing).
A new meta-analysis has shown that SGLT2 inhibitors do not lead to
lower 28-day all-cause mortality compared with usual care or placebo
in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 (see "SGLT2-inhibitors: No
Benefit in Hospitalized COVID-19" under Vaccines, Treatment &
Testing).
The COVID-19 booster vaccine typically causes transient, clinically
insignificant elevations in glucose levels in people with type 1
diabetes (see "COVID Booster May Transiently Raise Glucose Levels in
T1D" under Vaccines, Treatment & Testing).
"Cost May Lead Many to Skip COVID Testing: Why That's a Problem" (see
under Media News).
The May 11, 2023 termination of the PHE has made it increasingly
difficult to accurately track COVID-19 new cases or fatalities.
However, new variants of concern continue to emerge, with consequent
infections and deaths.
Since the termination of the PHE, data on vaccination rates are no
longer being tracked. The last known US COVID-19 vaccination rates
(May 10, 2023) are as follows: full
vaccination (two initial doses) 69.3%; at least one updated booster
dose: 17% (see "Track Covid-19 in the U.S." under
Vaccines, Treatment & Testing). "Our World in Data" stopped trying to
track US booster rates on August 30, 2022 and shows a flat line since
then.

If you paid for funeral expenses for someone who died in the US, and their death certificate mentions COVID as a cause, you may be eligible for up to US$9,000 in funeral expense assistance from the US federal government.
"A growing body of work is challenging the view that COVID-19 does not pose a significant threat to most children and young people. It comes amid growing concerns that there could be long-term implications for some young people who have contracted the virus."
Australian children and young people over the past 2 years.
This includes data showing that:
🔹 Around 50,000 children aged 0-14 were hospitalised with COVID between 2021-2022.
🔹 On average one child was admitted to ICU every day in 2022, totalling 362 admissions among 0-14-year-olds.
🔹 Hospitalisation and mortality rates for COVID far exceed those for other respiratory diseases such as influenza and RSV.
