#COVID cases and hospitalizations appear to be dropping in #NYC after a relatively small spring wave, while #flu and #RSV cases continue to drop!

Let's hope we'll get down to relatively low baselines on all three until the next wave. Do we dare to hope that we won't see a summer #COVID19 wave?

I'm back to in-person karaoke now, but until the combined hospitalizations are at truly negligeable rates, like below one per day, I'll continue to #WearAMask in elevators, trains and doctors' offices!

I wish I could say that #flu and #RSV cases were going down faster in #NYC, but I'm glad to see that they're still going down. No sign of an out-of-season wave or a shallow trough!

Let's hope that COVID rates will also go down, and we'll have a nice quiet, safe spring and summer for infectious disease transmission!

mir diese Ignoranz nicht geben kann!

Wenn mein Vati aufgrund eines Infektes stirbt, weil so ein ignoranter Mensch 'Vulnerable nicht schützen' wollte, kann man dann eigentlich Krankenhauskosten, etc. als Schadensersatz einklagen? Frage für ne Freundin

Was ich die Schnauze voll hab, glaubt man mir erst, wenn ich M's werfe

COVID numbers are going up, but #flu and #RSV cases continue to drop in #NYC. We still don't have accurate hospitalization numbers for #influenza and #RSVirus here, but it looks like the overall risk of hospitalization and death from acute airborne infectious diseases is dropping.

I'm going to plan for indoor dining and singing, and maybe travel, but as long as this many people are dying and being hospitalized I'll #WearAMask in elevators, trains, doctor's offices, pharmacies and supermarkets!

Cases of #flu and #RSV in #NYC continue to fall, a week or two later than they did last year. Unfortunately, cases and hospitalizatios of #COVID are going up.

I'm going to be pissed if we have a full-blown Spring #COVID19 wave and I have to start moving karaoke online, after months of not singing in person to avoid spreading #influenza and #RSVirus!

While there are meaningful numbers of people being hospitalized for airborne diseases, I #WearAMask in elevators, trains and doctors' offices!

i'm always extra-incensed by the extreme disconnect my entire queer theories or sexuality studies classes operate from around covid! we can talk about hiv/aids, informed consent, eugenics, etc all the while everyone in the room is maskless & there is always at least one coughing someone was talking about feeling safe in queer spaces w/their multiple marginalized identities, which is very real! but even still it's ironically not inclusive to further marginalized folks. so vexed by the incessant disconnect so i had to share this:

folks really gotta start questioning how radical they really are because not being covid cautious during this mass disabling event is at odds with being inclusive, accessible, intentional, community oriented, creating safe space, practicing consent, siding with the marginalized.

I'm 55+, and I rarely encounter commercials.

I do know that I need a doctor to prescribe the #HPV vax for people my age. Which is annoying af, because anyone can contract HPV, and I only recently heard that men are advised to get if if they are sexually active (I'm not, currently, though I anticipate sexing with someone in the future).

Meanwhile, my #pharmacy is pestering me to get the #RSV vax. Which, I'm not certain I'm particularly at risk of either catching it or transmitting it. The #university I applied to doesn't have a checkbox on the application for "not in the demographic that is required to get a #meningitis vax."

I'm on #marketplace insurance. I don't object to #vaccinations , but any that require me to pay for them may be delayed.
