Being hailed as a newer article that actually connects Covid-19 with chronic illness: "Chronic illness cases surge post-covid, leaving young patients searching for answers" https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/chronic-illness-cases-surge-post-covid-pots-5HjdjGf_2/ #Covid19 #CovidIsNotOver #PublicHealth #GetVaccinated #WearAMask

This week's Pandemics in BC blog posts: General: https://covidbc.webfoot.com/2026/09/26/2026-09-26-general/ BC: https://covidbc.webfoot.com/2026/09/26/2026-09-26-bc/ The province is now reporting all their data every week, so I should be posting a BC post every week now until the spring. #covid19bc #covid19 #covid #rsv #measles

The CDC finally moved ahead with #COVID #COVID19 vaccine ordering under its Vaccines for Children program. Half of US children get their vaccines through this program. #giftlinkhttps://wapo.st/4rvrgYp

STUDY: "A fourth vaccine dose was associated with a decreased risk of being diagnosed with post #COVID19 condition, with a vaccine effectiveness of 31%." A fourth vaccine dose in those with risk factors for severe acute COVID-19 had a "vaccine effectiveness of 38% for the fourth dose against post COVID-19 condition." https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(26)00468-2/fulltext

Greetings, here are the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots. A reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government. For the last couple of weeks I’ve been highlighting the bad SARS-CoV2 concentration numbers from the West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant, which finally improved in last week's reporting. This week, they're headed back up. The last seven day running average calculation was done on 9/15. WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth@universeodon.com

Avis aux intéressés : chaque mercredi, un lieu consacré à la mémoire de la pandémie de #Covid19 accueille gratuitement le public à l’Université Paris Cité (Paris 6e). Le but est double : ne pas oublier, et ouvrir une réflexion "sur ce que la pandémie a révélé de nos sociétés et sur les enseignements à en tirer face aux crises sanitaires et humanitaires à venir". Une première exposition "propose de revenir sur les traces laissées par la pandémie et les transformations profondes qu’elle a provoquées." On le doit à l'anthropologue Laëtitia Atlani-Duault, présidente de l’Institut Ad Memoriam
