At least some public health agencies still care. From the official account of the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene:
Does anyone have and advice which is the better vaccine for latest COVID variants. There is the new protein based Novavax or the older Pfizer and Moderna ones.
Thanks in advance.

“These grant funds were issued for a limited purpose: to ameliorate the effects of the pandemic. Now that the pandemic is over, the grant funds are no longer necessary.”
I'd be angry at the Trump administration for endangering lives, except Biden moronically declared the #COVID19 pandemic over and 80% of the world is more than happy to eagerly be infected and infect others as is it doesn't matter. Most Americans are responsible for this.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr promised during his confirmation hearing to prioritize Long #Covid19 research. Guess what? The Trump administration is shuttering HHS’ #LongCovid office. Guess we've solved that problem. The 5 to 10% of Americans who suffer from LC (and the millions who'll succumb to it in the years ahead) are on their own.
@currentbias@zeroes.ca“We’ve suspected for several years now that there is an association between COVID and POTS. I’m seeing this in my own clinic. My waiting list is longer than it has ever been,” said Dr. Blair Grubb, a UToledo Health cardiologist who has treated and studied POTS for more than three decades. “Now we have the data to back that up. This study helps give validity and voice to these patients, and it gives us a treatable target.”

For those of us who follow a lot of autistic people and also people who talk about covid...
Please make it clear at the start of your post, when talking about masking, whether you mean metaphorical or non-metaphorical masking.
Thank you. :D
Timely. My adult children just tested positive. Now I have to avoid my dad until I'm sure I don't have it. AND I have to be super careful of my own compromised lungs.
Kinda angry.
I've been looking after the grands a lot lately. Looks like that might bite me in the ass.
Here's the latest variant picture for Australia.
XEC.* continues to dominate by early March, although growth is fairly flat at around 50-60%.
The LP.8.1.* variant grew slowly to around 12%. Globally, this looks like the most likely challenger.
ΘΔ @skunk@ni.hil.istanother #NorthCarolina group looking to make public events safer through COVID activism!
queer the air collective is a QTBIPOC mutual aid group based out of "durham, NC" 
besides their work on COVID education on centralized social media...
they opened up a lending library, where they loan an air purifier (currently one so far) for free to community events in the triangle. they have a fundraiser, where they hope to buy more air purifiers to lend out to more events & happenings to make public spaces safer for all!

@cardamomaddict@mstdn.caFive years ago, Covid kept us home while restaurants and other food businesses looked for ways to stay open. From cookies, to cooking classes to cooked meals, I spoke with three local business owners about those days.
I am spending a bit less time keeping my spreadsheet of #COVID19 studies up to date, but I do watch for new and important ones. My spreadsheet now contains 1,850 studies. Recent ones:
- Vascular function may not improve within 1.5 years after COVID.
- 10% of hospitalized patients and 5% of non-hospitalized developed new-onset hypertension after COVID.
- 2 years post-COVID-19, many patients still have subjective cognitive symptoms (30.6%) and fatigue (35.5%).

People act like they are victims when they get Long #COVID19 in 2025, but…
If you know when risks are high, but you go to crowded places,
And you know masks work, but you didn't want to wear one,
And you know vaccines work, but you didn't get one for a year or two,
And you know Long COVID is a risk, you were convinced it wouldn't happen to you,
Then you're a volunteer, not a victim. We can't actively participate in the spread of COVID yet act shocked when we end up with chronic Long COVID.
My weekly update on #COVID19 in the US is a brief four-minute read:
- COVID wastewater numbers were level rather than declining this week
- This could just be a slow, bumpy fall into summer, but...
- Our low winter surge could signal an unprecedented spring surge in 2025
- Regional risks vary greatly. The South has high viral activity, with no decline in months.
Medium · Is the Spring COVID Decline Already Over? Probably Not, But… Update for March 21, 2025
5 years on, the true COVID-19 death toll remains unclear. A researcher explores how a lack of data makes it hard to know how many people died: https://theconversation.com/5-years-on-true-counts-of-covid-19-deaths-remain-elusive-and-research-is-hobbled-by-lack-of-data-244799

The Conversation5 years on, true counts of COVID-19 deaths remain elusive − and research is hobbled by lack of dataDeath data in the US is fragmented, incomplete and inconsistent. The consequences of undercounted deaths and lack of real-time tracking continue to be felt with each new public health crisis.
