Reflections on HLTH2021: The Lens of the Patient and Carepartner
By GRACE CORDOVANO Attending HLTH 2021 in-person in Boston solidified that there is no comparison between attending live vs. virtual conferences.  While content and presentations can be solid both virtually or in-person, it is the energy of the connections that are made between scheduled presentations and the conversations that are shared throughout that move the needle. Kudos to the organizers of HLTH 2021 for prioritizing the safety of all in-person attendees with COVID-19 vaccination requirements, proof of negative PCR testing within 3 days of arrival, and mask requirements on-site. After reflecting on all th...

Wuhan spiny eel influenza virus
Influenza B viruses, unlike influenza A viruses, do not cause pandemics. There are many non-human animal reservoirs of influenza A viruses which provide gene segments that go towards making reassortant viruses that can infect humans. Influenza B viruses do not appear to have an animal reservoir other than humans – they have been isolated from […]

Good Grief! Where Have I Been All This Time ‽
My life was briefly put on hold, thanks to a certain virus, but now I’m back, more cheeky& cynical than ever!So much for new beginnings.A week after my knee surgery, just as I was able to feel more human than sore, I became sick. Then sicker. Then sicker still. A quick visit to the InstaCare on a quiet Sunday evening ushered me into my new life of exhaustion and fatigue.I’ve had five or six COVID–19 tests since the pandemic began. They were almost beginning to feel routine. That Sunday night was no different. I showed up to pick up my pre-registered self-test, then opted to be seen instead because I f...

The lab leak hypothesis: Stick a fork in it
I have never really understood why this is so important to the wingnuts. Oh well, I suppose I do. It was a way to gin up a narrative to smear Anthony Fauci. That is the claim that Covid-19 originated in a laboratory in Wuhan which had indirect funding from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, which Fauci heads. The non-insane version of this was that it was an accidental release, which would be worth knowing. The insane version was that Fauci was the mastermind of a plot to foist the virus on the world in order to bring about a One World Socialist Dictatorship. On the other hand, the pandemic is a hoax...

A Scary Time for Teens? Compared to When?
David BoazIt ' s a scary time to be a teenager,blares the Washington Post. " 51 percent of teens said they felt this is a bad time to be growing up . . . and 62 percent of parents said the same. " Why?There are plenty of reasons both generations might feel this is a particularly difficult time to be a kid in high school: the prevalence of gun violence, the persistence of systemic racism, the specter of police brutality, the pressures of social media, the volatility of contemporary politics and, of course, the still enduring stress of thecoronavirus pandemic.Then there is the existential threat of climate change, which loom...

Physicians are human and grief is as much a part of the human experience as love
Since the first documented COVID death in the U.S. in February 2020, over 726,000 Americans have died. The number of deaths eclipses the death toll of any other American tragedy, whether war or the Spanish influenza epidemic of 1918, and health care providers have been involved with the care of many people who have died.Read more …Physicians are human and grief is as much a part of the human experience as love originally appeared inKevinMD.com.

Stolen Recipes
About a month ago, I did something I never envisioned I might do. I was in CVS waiting for the pharmacist to give me a flu shot, and while I was waiting, I browsed the magazine rack. I looked at one which was entirely recipes. There was a recipe which kind of caught my eye: it was for " Loaded Cauliflower Soup " . I would have bought the entire magazine, but then I looked at the price: a stunning $12.99...for a MAGAZINE with a flimsy cover (not even a real book).So I opened said magazine and snapped a photograph of the recipe on my phone instead. I suppose one could call that theft, except that I did not remove the magazin...

COVID-19 In 2022 – An Unexpected Reality
Last April, at the top of lockdowns and the pandemic we forecasted When And How COVID-9 Will End. Within these projections, we looked at how the pandemic can unfold – and when we could finally declare it’s over. Among the 3 scenarios we projected for 2021 last October, the most optimistic seemed the most unlikely (hence its name, the fairy-tale scenario), and everyone hoped for the second. At that time, wearing masks in 2022 did not seem likely – at all. And still, here we are, heading towards a pessimistic scenario, living a future we should not have – let’s see how that is possible and where we are at. ...

Trial By Error: BBC ’ s Problematic Coverage of New Long COVID Study
By David Tuller, DrPH Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, suggesting an equivalence between COVID-19 and influenza has been a consistent approach among those seeking to downplay the current situation.

Relative risk perception and public investment
 Motor vehicles are not quite in the top 10 causes of death in the U.S.The way the CDC categorizes causes of death, unintentional injuries are number 3, about 173,000 deaths per year, and motor vehicle-related injuries constitute about 1/3 of those. If you were to extract those 40,000+ motor vehicle deaths they would probably be at about #11. (This data is from 2019, and for 2020 Covid has undoubtedly bumped up cause number 9, " influenza and pneumonia, from 9 to 3 making unintentional injuries number 4, but we can hope this is temporary.) However, unlike the other leading causes of death, which disproportionatel...
