Trump said "There would be less cases if we stopped testing." Once again, Biden's administration makes Trump's ideas reality.

I have tried to warn friends and family about the effects of Covid infections. I don't blame them for blowing me off when most of society has moved on. Mostly they see it as just another flu. The "You just have to live your life" comment is often used. This article helped me understand why most people just don't want to know.

Ugh my work is ending its mask mandate next month. Not that it was even enforced, but still. It’s strange feeling like a conspiracy theorist for caring about my and other’s health in a healthcare facility.

The CDC on covid, an airborne total-body vascular disease scientifically proven to decrease brain volume and cause lasting organ damage among other notable, disabling issues: "It's fine :) just wash your hands :) everything is fine :)"

The CDC on vaping, a scientifically proven low-risk activity when compared to other nicotine intake methods: "It's WORSE than CIGARETTES (citation needed) and they're trying to FORCE IT on CHILDREN (studies show kids vape less than kids smoked when I was a kid, but let's ignore that) VAPE AND DIE!!! *spends millions on anti-vape ad campaigns*"

although the new york post is trash the article blaming the Palestine protests on COVID lockdowns is another example of why it's so important and essential to recognize intersectionality and how COVID, disease, disability, colonization, genocide are all related if we are to achieve any kind of liberation

Non-traditional things I associate with Apollo

.Guitars (awesome stringed instrument I believe He adores)

.Canaries (they're small, yellow, and sing!)

.Modern vaccines (a natural counterpoint to his plague association)

.YouTube (He would /so/ have a YouTube channel)

.Hospitals, modern Western medicine (obvious reasons)

.Courtrooms (This feels more like Zeus and Athena's domain, but Apollo gives me a similar sense of order and justice; He appreciates a well-run courtroom)

.Air purifiers for indoor spaces; respirator masks (effective defenses against airborne diseases such as Covid)

.Angelic aesthetic (who says a pagan deity can't appropriate some Biblical themes, hey?)

.Janitors, other public and private cleaners (they are critical for maintaining a healthy environment)

.Teachers (Apollo is a guide for the youth, just as teachers strive to be)

.Certain cat species: housecats, cheetahs, and lions

.Transmasculinity

.Sunflowers

.The Solarpunk movement/aesthetic (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-07/solarpunk-design-architecture-sustainable-future/103667452 ; https://www.climate-kic.org/solarpunk-speculative-fiction-climate-optimists/)

.Art Nouveau aesthetic

Fellow Apollo devotees, feel free to include your own associations with Apollo!

Saw a vid of some students doin a lil riot, pushing against cops and chanting

Even saw a dearrest attempt and most people present demanding an end to genocide were in masks. All of this a precious rarity. But

Y'all

Do not take pics or vids of riots and do not bring your fucking phone to a protest, not in any mode.

Everyone who was present for resisting genocide in that fashion is at risk from stingray intercepts, from voice recognition, and if they were unmasked, facial recognition--- and COVID.

We need to riot for Palestine but this cannot be done safely if people are unmasked or carrying notoriously compromised surveillance recording devices.

do not endanger others by recording actions the state will use against them.

Do not endanger others with a deadly pathogen.

Do not do the work of the state for it.

Let people know what happens with anonymous reportbacks and use signal for encrypted messaging.

Goddam every article about the woman is "money? Have you heard she has so much money?? music woman makes money!!!" The 'art' is flopping all she has is revenue and she's not even doing anything with it. Like fund some more Covid research or donate 10 mil to Palestine or something LITERALLY ANYTHING that's not self serving. All these ego maniac announcements make me feel like she's jerking off at me then asking if it was good for me too.

YUP she’ll be famous for her wealth as a musician not anything else. she’s too selfish to use her money for good because she probably thinks she “earned it” and worked “super hard for it” and probably thinsk other people aren’t entitled to it. which…lol because she definitely owed ana clara benevides family a fucking funeral and she didn’t even do that. what a cunt

Researchers have discovered that leaky blood vessels, together with a hyperactive immune system may be the underlying cause of brain fog in people with long covid. They suggest their discovery is important for the understanding of brain fog and cognitive decline – difficulty with thinking, memory or concentration – seen in some people with the condition. It is hoped the findings will help with the development of treatments in the future.

To Summarize:

Long Covid sufferers experience symptoms like forgetfulness and concentration issues due to leakiness in brain blood vessels, according to research findings.

Scientists from Trinity College Dublin and FutureNeuro confirm that Long Covid patients with brain fog have disrupted blood vessels in their brains, making the neurological symptoms measurable.

Blood vessel leakage in the brain, along with an overactive immune system, may be the key drivers of brain fog in Long Covid patients, leading to potential changes in understanding and treating post-viral conditions.

I can't find a single right-wing news source covering this.

"If a pig catches both a human influenza A virus and an avian influenza A virus at the same time, it can spark a process known as viral reassortment — a genetic exchange in which flu viruses swap gene segments." "Those swaps can introduce dramatic changes, producing a new virus with certain properties of a non-human strain coupled with the capacity to infect and spread between people." "The death rate in humans may be upwards of 50 per cent, World Health Organization data suggests, though it's possible that milder infections are getting missed, skewing the case fatality ratio. Still, in a population that's never been exposed, the global impacts could be dire." "More human cases could also be happening under the radar among farm workers who've moved to the U.S. from abroad, don't speak English as their first language, and may be hesitant to seek medical help, he added." "So I think there's probably underreporting on both sides," Armstrong said." "If [H5N1] gets into a population where there's constantly animals going in and out … it might not ever leave."

I've been watching this develop for the past several days, and apart from being terrified most people will not take this seriously (I've seen a handful of people already shout conspiracy on social media and it's alarming to see, as always). What I wanted to point out is that pandemics are going to continue to be our 'normal.' I watched a great video on YouTube a while ago (I believe it was by Vice?) that touched base on how this is going to become our new reality because of multiple factors (such as our proximity to animals, and environments/etc). It was when Covid hit and they did a piece debunking some of the misinformation floating on the internet. If I can find it I will post it here because it was informative and relevant to pretty much any world crisis we will see around any virus that spreads among a human population.

This post isn't trying to fear monger anyone, I just hope more people are aware of what is happening because this is important to talk about. There are already cases (of cows getting this bird flu) in the US, and I won't be surprised if there will be instances in more countries around the world. As usual, keep washing your hands/keeping good hygiene practices, masking up (and if you aren't I hope you consider it), and taking precautions if you do happen to visit/work or go near a pig or poultry farm too:

I'll keep track of this here of course, but please stay informed folks. And also FU to any governments who will try to minimize this or try to diminish the severity until it's too late and community spread happens like Covid because their actions are influenced by capitalistic interests.

Update (April 7th, 2024, 9:32pm EST): to anyone wondering where some of the source information originates from -here is a link to the CDC. They are tracking documented avian virus outbreaks in the US and the public can access it here:

It's really frustrating because you'll do the math and agree to go masked, but you'll get a text from your friend that says "yeah, and I've had this weird cough for a while" and suddenly all your risk calculations go out the window. This wouldn't be so hard if people actually acted in a way that would keep themselves and others safe during an ongoing pandemic.

If you have a cold and test negative for COVID you are not in the clear. Tests take a while to turn positive. Meanwhile you are spreading COVID to family and friends. Mask up if you have any symptoms. This virus is just evil.

Covid Update, USA, late December 2023: Buckle up, folks.

Takeaway from his (very informative) thread:

Wastewater counts are obscenely high right now, belying the official case numbers. Considering that we've stopped collecting or reporting most COVID data, wastewater is the best way we have to judge the actual infection rate now.

We are currently seeing ten million new infections a week, and can expect that to greatly increase within the next three weeks.

If you've stopped masking, please start again, for your own safety and the safety of your community. Many hospital systems are already trending toward being overwhelmed right now; let's do what we can to lighten their burden.

Avoid unnecessary gatherings where possible.

Ventilate your spaces well (this is a good time to build that Corsi-Rosenthal box you were thinking about! I made one, it's great).

And just from me, personally--now's a good time to reevaluate casual habits. I've been careless, again, about touching my face. Time for me to knock it off!

This is a period where we need to act with more care. Not a time to panic, but a time to be more cautious.
