This article indirectly raises and interesting point, namely that in regards to "of COVID" versus "with COVID", the "with COVID" hospitalizations would see a large drop compared to earlier waves, because hospitals are no longer testing everyone, but rather a small subset.

Regarding Biobot data, this is what they are talking about :


But by region that seems less like a leveling off, except in the South:

I would wager given the abandonment of NPIs, lack of infectiousness may not hinder it that much until folks hit the panic button. In fact, the degree of evasion of the coming booster and poor uptake will be more useful to it.

I would wager those articles we've been seeing may an attempt to prime the consent machine for just that.

Edit that Skooma, it's not worth lowering yourself for shitters like that.

My rapid tests expired last week, but they’re all I got. Should I take a negative seriously if I do more than one?

After the pandemic ends, long COVID still needs congressional attention
BY SENS. TIM KAINE (D-VA.) AND TODD YOUNG (R-IND.), AND FORMER SEN. JIM INHOFE (R-OKLA.)

After the formal end of the COVID-19 public health emergency in May, attention in Congress has largely been focused on priorities other than the pandemic. Thankfully, many Americans have been able to return to their pre-pandemic daily routines.

It’s a good design. Air purifiers based on those little DC fans have significant noise/floor space/portability/energy advantages over box fan builds.

You’re paying like a hundred and fifty bucks for someone to package together some fans and a PSU and LASER cut some fiberboard, but if that’s something that you’d rather pay for than DIY, go for it.

my in-laws travelled to Ireland for a week and just got back. My father-in-law was experiencing "the worst cough of his life" on the plane back, unmasked. Mother-in-law observed that it seemed like everyone on the flight had the same cough for some reason.

Once they got back, my FIL got an instant positive

I built a couple with those 140mm Arctic P14 fans that were suggested in CR circles a couple times. Expensive and I don't recommend because rather than a box fan white noise sound, they have a more annoying PC fan whine/warble that bothers me much more than just a box fan would.

Once they got back, my FIL got an instant positive, and my MIL is mercifully still negative and asymptomatic. My MIL still has Long COVID from her last bout over a year ago, so we're hoping she manages to dodge it somehow. My FIL will absolutely not take Pax or even consult a doctor, and my MIL is instead having to spend her time convincing FIL not to go out to restaurants
