<p>&quot;But these findings and others giving worrying signals about the long-term impact of even &#x27;mild&#x27; <a href="/tags/covid19/" rel="tag">#COVID19</a> cases got little attention when they were released—kind of the way one might pay less attention to a broken window after realizing that arsonists have doused the house with gasoline and begun lighting matches. And the arsonists are indeed at work.&quot; Just posted today but written over a week ago, and it&#x27;s gotten even worse since then. <a href="https://48hills.org/2025/05/notes-from-the-road-to-health-hell/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="48hills.org/2025/05/notes-from-the-road-to-health-hell/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">48hills.org/2025/05/notes-from</span><span class="invisible">-the-road-to-health-hell/</span></a><br><a href="/tags/rfkjr/" rel="tag">#RFKJr</a> <a href="/tags/publichealthmalpractice/" rel="tag">#PublicHealthMalpractice</a></p>

It looks like we might be in for a significant increase in COVID infections with these two new variants. Now&#x27;s a good time to start wearing a mask indoors and avoiding crowded indoor events, ventilating indoor spaces, getting a booster, and generally paying attention to COVID levels if you weren&#x27;t already doing all that. <a href="https://mstdn.science/users/TRyanGregory/statuses/114671085981206502" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="mstdn.science/users/TRyanGregory/statuses/114671085981206502"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mstdn.science/users/TRyanGrego</span><span class="invisible">ry/statuses/114671085981206502</span></a><br><br><a href="/tags/covid/" rel="tag">#COVID</a> <a href="/tags/covid19/" rel="tag">#COVID19</a> <a href="/tags/pandemic/" rel="tag">#pandemic</a> <a href="/tags/covidisnotover/" rel="tag">#COVIDIsNotOver</a> <a href="/tags/maskup/" rel="tag">#MaskUp</a> <a href="/tags/wearamask/" rel="tag">#WearAMask</a><br>
