How to keep yourself safer and protected from the new COVID-19 Variant XBB.1.5 of 2023?

New COVID-19 Variant XBB.1.5 What is XBB.1.5? The New COVID-19 variant XBB.1.5 was discovered for the first time in the US in New York in October 2022. It is a recombinant or hybrid virus subvariant, which means it consists of two strains, in this case, two descendants of the Omicron BA.2 sub lineage. The XBB.1.5 variation features a mutation that virologists think makes the virus more capable…

Masking and Protests

In a win for community care,masks are being used broadly at recent protests on college campuses across the country, making these protests more accessible as well as showing solidarity with disabled communities. Some college campuses have attempted to ban or discourage masking at protests. University of Texas at Austin’s Provost issued a statement including a rule banning masks, and University of North Carolina’s Provost asked protestors not to mask, citing a state law from 1953 enacted in response to the KKK. Notably, the North Carolina mask law contains an amendment, introduced in 2020, to allow masking “to ensure the physical health or safety of the wearer or others” (see PDF link to the amendment).

Masking at protests must be allowed to make protests accessible for disabled and immunocompromised people, and safer for everyone. COVID and other infectious diseases can spread both indoors and outdoors, especially in crowded settings. Share our guide to accessible protests on Instagram or Substack, and also check out our statement and call to action on Palestine. Also consider supporting mask distribution efforts such as local mask blocs, which may be seeing increased demand related to protests.

Wins

Remember our allies at the University of California Academic Worker Union from our January 2023 webinar, who fought for COVID safety protections? They're running for office this week on the executive board of UAW local 4811. Check out their slate—which includes disability justice and COVID protections—and learn how to vote here.

The Weather

The CDC’s reported COVID wastewater levels by state show “Low” or “Minimal” wastewater levels across all reporting states and territories as of April 25, with no data available from North Dakota, West Virginia, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and Guam.

Wastewater levels across all four regions are at lower levels than this year’s fall-winter peaks, with all regions showing either a slowing of the rate of decrease or a leveling off. You can still be infected during times of lower wastewater COVID levels. Precautions including consistent masking in all public spaces are still necessary in our daily lives to reduce the risk of infection, to prevent Long COVID, and to practice community care.

Variants

The CDC’s variant tracking has been updated and now shows many JN.1 sublineages, including KP.2, JN.1.7, and JN.1.13.1. Regional variant NowCast predictions are not available as of April 26 for any US region.

COVID Treatment

With the end of the national Test to Treat program in mid-April, we have lost an important route for affordable and convenient access to Paxlovid. Still, Paxlovid continues to be an important treatment to prevent the development of severe COVID. A few important facts about Paxlovid eligibility that people may not be aware of:

Paxlovid can be started within 5-7 days of the start of COVID symptoms. Initially, starting within 5 days was the recommendation. The extended window for treatment is particularly important as folks may test positive later in the course of their infection, sometimes a few days after symptoms develop.

People aged 50 and older are eligible even if they do not have other medical conditions.

Younger people with certain medical conditions may also be eligible for Paxlovid.

The PAXCESS program may provide a Paxlovid discount from the manufacturer and provides free Paxlovid for people who receive Medicare or Medicaid and uninsured people without prescription drug benefits.

If you are infected with COVID, make sure you also talk with your doctor about over-the-counter medications or supplements you may be taking. Even over-the-counter medications can have significant risks that should be discussed in the context of your individual medical history.

COVID Prevention

An effective multilayered approach to COVID prevention should include proven measures such as masking with high-quality respirators (N95s, KN96s, KF94s or better), improving indoor air quality with ventilation and filtration, physical distancing, getting the latest vaccines, and using COVID tests appropriately. Unproven methods should not be considered part of a multilayered approach. Topical nasal products such as sprays or ointments may seem tempting but are not proven to prevent COVID infections (none are FDA approved for COVID) and may have risks. For example, Vaseline and petrolatum-based ointments can cause pneumonia if applied to the inside of the nose, as they may be subsequently inhaled where they can damage the lungs. Over-the-counter antibiotic ointments are intended to protect from bacterial infection in minor skin wounds and should not be used inside the nose. Although early research on other uses has been publicized, given the risks of petrolatum-based ointments if used in the nose, it is important to wait for larger scale studies to understand both potential risks and benefits. Colloidal silver, sometimes touted in nasal spray form, is not proven to treat or prevent any medical condition and can cause permanent gray pigmentation of the skin as well as other serious side effects. Research studies shared in the news or on social media should not be used in place of medical advice from an individual healthcare provider you trust.

While we expect masking and other multilayered precautions to remain a mainstay of prevention, we hope that further research will lead to FDA-approval/authorization of additional drugs for COVID treatment and prevention in the future.

Measles

Measles outbreaks within the US continue, with the first Wisconsin case being reported. Measles transmits through the air as well as through contact with surfaces, and is highly contagious. Now is a good time to check vaccination records for yourself and your loved ones, get any catch-up vaccinations, and check with your local healthcare provider if you are uncertain about vaccination or immunity status. In some cases, lab testing for measles immunity (antibody titers) can be helpful.

Take Action

Use MaskTogetherAmerica’s letter campaign to ask your elected officials to reinstate the Test to Treat program for free and convenient COVID and influenza testing, telehealth, and treatment access.

Support science-based COVID isolation guidance from the CDC using our letter campaign to contact your elected officials or sign on to our expert letter.

If you know someone who is organizing a protest, share our guide to accessible protests with them, via Instagram or Substack.

Fellow Covid Long Hauler, here.

3 years 3 months in this hell

Surfing the internet, for Long Covid news, as usual, since I was “diagnosed” with this condition, and I noticed a few things.

I’m seeing and reading a lot of articles and “news” about Long Covid; not being real, may not be as bad as Influenza, Long Cold might be a thing too, etc.

Pay attention to wording. Words like “likely” “maybe” “may” “if” “yet”.

Long Covid “may” not be real

Flu “might be worse” than Long Covid

Long Cold, exists too, “likely”.

These people don’t sound too sure. Because they have no foundation, no proof. Pure speculation. So next time, fellow Long Hauler, if you see some dismissive piece of shit article, downplaying and invalidating our whole experience, just look at the wording. 🖤

And always always always check. your. sources

Damned if you do, damned if you don't, in a society that refuses to understand

If you have a chronic illness, some weeks can be overwhelming & you need to vent off your frustrations, take a load off. But with that comes vitriol from a society that demands we bear down & crack on with it, ignorant to the fact that we can't.

A society that currently promotes being kind, stamping out bullies & reaching out for the sake of your mental health, suddenly shuns and forces you to be quiet. The chronically ill are stigmatised for highlighting their struggles because "others have it worse."

Whilst minimising our battle, they cannot relate to what being chronically ill means.

They can accept that you can leave the light on all day but if there's no money in the electric meter, it will turn off. But they can't comprehend that chronic fatigue is anything more than "tired," - a night's sleep will fix

They fail to understand that chronic pain is more than a bruise or an ache. We tell them. Oh how many chronically ill patients have told them! But they do not listen. They do not hear our words. I am screaming into a void right now. So many of us are. I hear you.

We are shamed for being house or bed-bound. Criticised for not helping ourselves. Ostracised when our symptoms get worse. Yet when we find energy, strength & the mental exertion to reach out, we're knocked right back down. When we do something that will relieve our symptoms, they claim it's "all about you."

Simply, what the f*** do you want from us?

Chronically ill people see treatments for so many other illnesses that are successful & give back life or prolong life to the person. We see medical success everyday, we bear witness to what seems impossible chances. We are asking for that too.

Many of us are waiting for treatment, longing for treatment, begging for treatment. We're labelled as mentally ill instead, because if you can't get out of bed, it must be your mind's fault, right?.. No.

Many of us are shells of our former selves, just existing, waiting, longing, hoping, self-soothing, without treatment. We are still people. There will never be another like you. We matter. Hear our voices.

PREMATURE EJACULATION

WHAT IS PREMATURE EJACULATION ?

- Premature ejaculation is a common sexual disorder in which a man ejaculates (releases semen) earlier than he or his partner desires during sexual activity. It often occurs with minimal sexual stimulation and can lead to distress or frustration. The specific duration that is considered "premature" can vary, but generally, if it happens consistently and causes distress, it may be a concern. It can have various causes, including psychological and physical factors, and can be treated through counseling, behavioral techniques, or medication, depending on the underlying causes.CAUSES OF PREMATURE EJACULATION :

Premature ejaculation can have various causes, which may include:

Psychological factors: Stress, anxiety, performance pressure, and relationship issues can contribute to premature ejaculation. These psychological factors can affect a person's ability to control their ejaculation.

Biological factors: Some men may have hypersensitive penile skin or an overactive ejaculatory reflex, which can make them more prone to premature ejaculation.

Hormonal imbalances: An imbalance in hormone levels, such as serotonin, can influence ejaculation control.

Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, like erectile dysfunction, prostatitis, or thyroid problems, can contribute to premature ejaculation.

Medications: Some medications may have side effects that affect ejaculation, either by speeding it up or delaying it.

Lifestyle factors: Poor sexual habits, excessive alcohol or drug use, and lack of physical activity can also be contributing factors.

Inexperience: For some individuals, premature ejaculation may be a result of inexperience with sexual activity, and with time and practice, this issue may resolve.

PREMATURE EJACULATION IS CLASSIFIED INTO 2 CATEGORIES :

Primary (Lifelong): This type of condition has been seen almost every time since the beginning of sexual activity.

Secondary (Acquired): This type usually develops later in the stage and where previous sexual experiences did not have any problem.

SYMPTOMS OF PREMATURE EJACULATION :

The primary symptom of premature ejaculation is the inability to delay ejaculation during sexual activity, often leading to ejaculation occurring earlier than desired by the individual or their partner. Some common symptoms and characteristics associated with premature ejaculation include:

Ejaculation occurring within one to two minutes of penetration or even before penetration.

The inability to control when ejaculation happens, often with minimal sexual stimulation.

A persistent and recurrent pattern of early ejaculation that causes distress or dissatisfaction for either the individual or their partner.

Frustration, anxiety, or embarrassment related to sexual performance.

Avoidance of sexual intimacy or a reduced desire for sexual activity due to the fear of premature ejaculation.

DIAGNOSIS OF PREMATURE EJACULATION :

Medical History: The healthcare provider will take a detailed medical and sexual history, including questions about the frequency and duration of premature ejaculation, any underlying medical conditions, medications, and psychological factors that may contribute to the issue.

Physical Examination: A physical examination may be performed to rule out any physical conditions that could be causing or contributing to premature ejaculation.

Psychological Assessment: In some cases, a psychological evaluation may be conducted to assess factors such as anxiety, stress, or relationship problems that may be influencing premature ejaculation.

Evaluation of Sexual Function: Assessing overall sexual function, including erectile function, may be part of the evaluation to understand the broader context of the issue.

Rectal Bleeding Treatment | Vithal Plies Hospital

Rectal bleeding is a symptom of a problem in the GI tract. The definition is broad as it means any blood passed rectally; consequently, the blood may come from any area or structure in the GI tract that allows blood to leak into the GI lumen (area where food and fluid is processed for absorption or removal as waste). For example, a bleeding ulcer in the stomach can have the blood excreted in the person's fecal material Rectal bleeding may be due to problems on the rectum itself or from many other problems that occur elsewhere in the GI tract. Perirectal bleeding is bleeding in an area adjacent to the rectum and may be due to abscesses or fistulas.

Like we've been trying to get to the peak that often follows a valley but it's a completely vertical cliff side so we're just kinda

One small step towards recovering. And medical breakthroughs I wasn't sure we would reach in the entirety of human existence. Glad to be wrong. Thanks, God!

#ngl i figured either it was judgment day or every living person would just be depressed and affected by the pandemic forever til we 💀#but look at us: servery traumatized with a slightly higher chance of surviving cancer and Alzheimer's on top of covid 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽#random #pandemic #covid #covid19 #cancer research #cancer treatment #alzheimers #medical research #cure for cancer #scientific breakthrough

The Weather

A study in Clinical Infectious Diseases reported “that the risk of developing symptomatic illness within 14 days was 5 times greater when contacts were exposed to an asymptomatic [COVID]-positive child in their household.” Nearly 11% of household contacts developed symptoms within 14 days of exposure. The study also found, during a 3-month follow-up, that 6 out of 77 asymptomatic children developed Long COVID. The likelihood of developing symptoms from asymptomatic exposure is higher than we might expect. Continue to spread awareness of asymptomatic spread and advocate for increased infection control measures at your local schools.

COVID wastewater levels are decreasing. As of 3/29/24, New Mexico is “Very High,” Arkansas and Kentucky are “High,” and the rest of the states are “Moderate” to “Low” levels of SARS-CoV-2 detected in wastewater.

Wastewater levels continue to show a downward trend in the provisional data (gray shaded area) in all regions. The national wastewater levels are overall indicated as “Low.” While lower wastewater levels indicate decreased spread, it is important to continue to take precautions against infection. Holidays and spring breaks may bring people in closer proximity, so be sure to wear a mask to protect yourself and your community.

Wins

As we work to take more actions against the removal of vital public health measures, we remind you that you can still watch the recording of the People’s CDC press conference from March 13 and read the press release here. We would also like to remind you of the pre-proof of the People’s CDC External Review in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine Focus. The publication highlights the shortcomings of the CDC’s approach to public health and recommends a more equitable pandemic response.

News sources have published articles about the frustrations of people who continue to take COVID precautions. Time Magazine published an article presenting “both sides,” highlighting protest from people working with the CDC and concern from citizens and experts alike. While we are glad to see our voices be published in popular media, we are also saddened that “returning to normal” under economic and political pressure is so valued.

Treatments

Invyvid has received an FDA emergency use authorization for Pemgarda, a pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for people with immunocompromising conditions. Pemgarda is approved for people 12 and older with moderate to severe immunocompromise who are less likely to produce an adequate immune response to COVID vaccination alone. According to a press release from Invyvid, Pemgarda will release to market “imminently.”

Pre-exposure prophylaxis is commonly used for folks at high risk for exposure to HIV. As access to PrEP for HIV has been instrumental in keeping people safe, we hope that PrEP for COVID will be a useful tool for our community members with immune compromise. We also urge you to continue to wear high-quality masks and take other precautions to protect those most vulnerable.

Long COVID

People Magazine recently published an article highlighting an essay by Ziyad Al-Aly, physician and clinical epidemiologist, that pools data from several studies showing that COVID infection has lasting impacts on brain health. The review points out several impacts to cognitive functioning, including memory loss, spatial reasoning, and planning. Additionally, imaging studies have shown significant impact to brain tissue from inflammation, among other processes. The publication may be validating to those who experience lower cognitive function following COVID infection, including brain fog and memory dysfunction.

Take Action

We know that taking precautions–including masking, testing, and improving air quality–helps prevent the spread of airborne viral infection. Introducing more stringent precautions slowed outbreaks in the hematology ward of a hospital. The CDC recently released tips to improve ventilation. Help us urge the CDC to take other measures, including reinstating isolation periods.

Additionally, the home Test to Treat program is ending in April 2024. The program provides un-or-underinsured adults with free COVID and flu tests. If a participant in the program tests positive, they can also receive free healthcare via telehealth services. Join us to help save the program that helps so many at-risk people!

"6 out of 10 people who died from Covid between March and July 2020 were disabled"

As part of the UK covid inquiry, evidence has now been brought to light which shows that "Do Not Attempt Resuscitation" notices, were put on the files of patients with Down's Syndrome, Autism & other learning disabilities.

These people were healthy, before contracting Covid19.

The NHS watchdog we know as NICE, (the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), issued guidance for trusts and hospitals advising them to apply a “clinical frailty scale” to decide whether patients should be admitted to intensive care.

Older and more frail patients were viewed as being less likely to survive even with critical care treatment.

The original NICE guidance also suggested that those who could not do everyday tasks like cooking, managing money and personal care independently, would be considered frail & not receive intensive care treatment.

This original guidance has since been removed....

Which leads us to the Do not attempt Resuscitation notices...

The DNAR notices were often placed on the files of the patients without their consent, or with limited understanding of its meaning.

Patients with learning disabilities were classed as 'clinically frail'

NHS England have of course denied this, yet the evidence shows they let them die, as to not overwhelm the NHS in the early days of a pandemic.

Yet many specialist nurses have come forward to say that they were constantly put in place for people with learning disabilities and often "inappropriately."

_____

I feel utterly sick. I remember at the start of the pandemic, talking about how disabled people will become a target, that we will be killed off, and people looked at me like I was purple.

4 years later we're here. In case you need to read it again, 6 in 10 people with covid that died during March to June 2020, were disabled. 6 in 10. I can't stop repeating that number.
