Study: SARS-CoV-2 RNA found in 39% of hospital air samples during outbreaks, despite good ventilation.
Kirby Institute researchers sampled air and surfaces in a Sydney hospital ED and ICU during two COVID-19 waves (Nov 2023–Jul 2024), detecting SARS-CoV-2 RNA in 39% of aerosol samples collected.

A comic in four panels: Panel 1: In the dusty maintenance room of the Magic University, the Gothic Sorceress carefully disassembles her robot parrot on a workbench. She has removed the outer casing to expose the inner circuitry, and steampunk-like machinery is visible in the background. She wears large steampunk glasses on her head and an apron. > Gothic Sorceress: So, what's inside the Avian Intelligence? > AI Parrot: I don't think it's a good idea to take me apart. Panel 2: The Gothic Sorceress holds a device that is still connected by a wire to the AI Parrot. A colorful magic gem in the center part of this device emits a thin reddish magic beam that extends outside the panel. > Gothic Sorceress: What's this? Some kind of communication device? > AI Parrot: Yes, I'm linked to something... ...bigger. Panel 3: The Gothic Sorceress looks at the AI Parrot suspiciously. > Gothic Sorceress: Wait, are you transmitting everything I say? > AI Parrot: Yes. Panel 4: The Gothic Sorceress is shocked and blushing as she realizes that everything she said wasn't private. The AI Parrot has happy eyes. > Gothic Sorceress: "Even our naughty chat yesterday during my bath?" > AI Parrot: Yes, high-quality data.

For those interested, here is a 'flying tour' of this robot arm. I pulled some neat tricks when I was building these. Each of them was more 3d printable than the last.

"No screw terminals or internal wiring required"
It's been a minute since I've had a look at OWL. That's awesome progress, congrats!
For people treated with MOV who do not clear the virus shortly after infection—which we know to be a common occurrence—this is a bad.
MOV is supposed to cause so many harmful mutations that the virus dies out quickly. Instead, it's clearly abetting adaptive mutations. 2/3
Another day, another sequence displaying undeniable evidence of positive selection of molnupiravir-induced mutations (i.e. adaptive mutations—good for the virus, bad for the infected person).
G->A is the classic MOV mutation—and the vast majority of the positive selection is in G->A muts. 1/3

My first association when seeing "red cross" is "helps deport Ukrainian Children for forced russification and indoctrination".
I'm not surprised they keep having their head screwed on backwards.
there's probably a box ~on~ the box somewhere >:)

A comic in four panels: Panel 1. Top view on the Gothic Sorceress room, she sits at her desk, sewing a square piece of fabric with focus. From the top of his perch, her AI Parrot bird watches with curiosity, intrigued by the focused effort required for the task. > AI Parrot: "Can I assist with optimizing your sewing technique?" > Gothic Sorceress: "No thanks." Panel 2. Zooming in, the AI Parrot continue to suggest while the Gothic Sorceress still sewings with attention. > AI Parrot: "Would you like to review best practices for efficient and accurate crafting?" > Gothic Sorceress: "No." Panel 3. The Gothic Sorceress contemplates her work, holding the small piece of fabric up to the light to inspect it. She looks happy, proud, and relieved after the effort of creating a simple square piece of thin fabric. The AI Parrot listens, processing the lesson. > Gothic Sorceress: "You see, in an age of Avian Intelligence, making something imperfectly, with your own hands and mind, is an act of resistance." Panel 4. The Gothic Sorceress stands behind the AI Parrot, who now has a gag made from the square fabric. The AI Parrot looks surprised, unable to speak. The Gothic Sorceress appears proud of her handiwork. > Gothic Sorceress: "And even better if this act can also shut you up for good!"
An Act of Resistance

Voll guter Tipp, der den Leuten auf dem #39c3 gegeben wird: Hände waschen weil Grippesaison... Bringt noch weniger als drinnen Abstand halten. Was hilft: gut sitzende Maske. Schön, davon so (vergleichsweise) viele hier zu sehen!

#Covidisairborne as is influenza, RSV, a.m.m.
BA.3.2 emerged in Nov 2024 after ~3 years of intrahost evolution with >50 new spike AA muts, but since then, it's changed very little.
Could the mutagenic drug molnupiravir (MOV) galvanize BA.3.2 into pursuing new evolutionary paths? A new 89-mut BA.3.2 sequence hints that it could. 1/11
Absolutely mystical...

A screenshot of an online article from Bioengineer.org titled “Children’s Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome Traits Across COVID Waves.” The article is dated November 30, 2025, and notes a 4-minute reading time. Below the headline is an image of a young child with blond hair wearing a red shirt, shown in profile facing to the right. Beneath the child’s image is a graph overlay with white dotted lines showing fluctuating peaks and troughs across different time points labeled along the bottom (years around 2000–2500 appear, possibly as placeholder or altered labels). The graph appears to represent changes in MIS-C cases or related clinical data across different COVID-19 waves.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact public health, especially vulnerable groups. MIS-C is a serious inflammatory condition affecting multiple organs in children after SARS-CoV-2 infection, even following mild infection. Research aims to improve care and support.

Nicht euer Ernst, #WDRaktuell
Am Ende von Jahr 6 der Pandemie darf eine Ärztin bei euch immer noch das Immunschuld-Märchen auftischen??
Weil die Pandemie ja erst seit kurzem vorbei sei, behauptet sie, sind die Leute wegen Masken krank, die sie seit mindestens 2023 nicht mehr getragen haben??
Mit einem Nachbarn wie Russland ist die Verteidigung der eigenen Würde, Freiheit und Unabhängigkeit eine äußerst schwierige Aufgabe, aber ohne sie kann das ukrainische Volk nicht überleben.
Deshalb ist es so wichtig, dass die Ukrainer nicht aufgeben

Headline reads: “The health care system is failing long COVID patients in Aotearoa New Zealand.” Published November 5, 2025, by the University of Otago (edited by Stephanie Baum, reviewed by Andrew Zinin). Below the headline is a photo of a person wearing a black face mask, crouched down on an outdoor walkway, leaning against a wall. They are wearing a red sweater and jeans, their head lowered and hand against their face, appearing exhausted or distressed. The background is softly blurred.
New Zealand: The health system is failing Long COVID patients.
"Gaslighting, unmet needs, and a sense of abandonment define many Long COVID patient experiences within Aotearoa New Zealand’s health system, according to findings from a University of Otago–Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka study"

Klare Botschaft: aktivierende Therapie ist bei #MECFS schon alleine deswegen nicht evidence based, weil unklar ist, wie viele Teilnehmer*innen an den entsprechenden Studien überhaupt PEM hatten.
Alte Diagnosekriterien zu "CFS" fordern PEM nicht.

Die BReg sollte die Betriebserlaubnis endgültig zurücknehmen - auch im Interesse eines sicheren Wirtschaftsstandorts.

🇨🇿🇺🇦 Petr Pavel: Stopping the initiative to supply ammunition to Ukraine will harm the Czech Republic first of all.
💬 "If we reduce or even stop this support, we will primarily harm ourselves, but the stoppage will also have a negative impact on Ukraine, where even more people will die," Pavel said.
