Here's the latest variant picture with a global scope, to early September. XFG.* "Stratus" variants remained dominant, but fell to 43% frequency. The new saltation variant PJ.2.1 is driving all the growth of the JN.1.* + DeFLuQE JN.1.* + DeFLuQE lineages, growing steadily to 6%. 🧵

Globally since August, PJ.2.1 showed a growth advantage of 4.5% per day (32% per week) over XFG.*, which predicts a crossover in late October. 🧵

I took a look at the data on #ME/CFS for Australia. Hospital separations for "G04 Encephalitis, myelitis and encephalomyelitis" have been growing strongly since around 2015. Growth slowed in the early years of the pandemic and then accelerated from 2023 onwards.

Norwegian data: 98% more doctor visits for memory problems and 150% more for concentration problems than the trend before the pandemic.
At the same time, an enormous increase in prescribed heart medications. Even in Sweden.
Precisely the things we know COVID infections cause. Why don't we want to see the connection?

In case of interest: bsky.app/profile/cvce... Of course if only we knew to 'Live Safely with C19' (as per @greenparty.org.uk policy) then communities would already know to use air filters and respirator masks to protect themselves from all airborne harms, including wildfire smoke. Please support.

Today we have written to the Health and Environment Secretaries, backed by 20 experts. UK guidance says shut the windows. But research found smoke in all 23 Manchester homes monitored during July's fires. Don't just tell people to stay inside. Tell them how to stay safe. 1/2
llustration of a semi-detached UK house split into two living rooms, showing that wildfire smoke can enter homes even with windows closed. Both rooms contain a family; the left room is smoky and the right room has clearer air and an air purifier, while a masked man leaves the house. Text reads, “Wildfire smoke doesn't stop at the front door,” with labels “Following UK guidance” and “Following WHO / CDC guidance.” Bottom text notes that smoke entered all 23 monitored Manchester homes in July despite closed windows, and urges people to be told how to stay safe.

🔥 £10 BILLION wasted 🔥 Yet a mere £1.5bn would have put clean air filtration in every classroom, ward and clinic in the country. 💙 Save lives 💜 Cut sickness absences 💗 Reduce NHS pressure We MUST invest in safer air today to protect every child, patient & worker tomorrow.

@andyburnham.bsky.social as a former Health Secretary you know prevention pays. @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social has added air filters to London's schools. But everyone deserves clean air. We've discussed the benefits with you before, and hope you can see the need. Will you meet with us to hear more?

T y. Incredibly disappointing given the number of airborne pathogens spreading freely since 'let it rip', which the policy would also mitigate against, but also as @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social asked Qs in the House on behalf of CATA & @carladenyer.bsky.social called briefly for clean indoor air.

It is incredibly disappointing. We had a chance to learn & invest following awareness generated by #Covid but have completely failed. Other respiratory pathogens need mitigations to reduce mortality as @infektolog.bsky.social so eloquently explains in this post over on Twitter x.com/infektolog/s...

France: "Wearing a mask is once again mandatory in Paris hospitals" "Faced with a rapid rise in respiratory infections, several hospitals in the Île-de-France region have decided to reinstate mandatory mask-wearing for healthcare workers, visitors, and patients over the age of 6." archive.li/ZeKtJ
Screenshot of a Doctissimo article titled “Wearing a mask is once again mandatory in Paris hospitals, Dr. Gérald Kierzek explains.” Published November 10, 2025, by health editor Jennifer Bouet. The image shows a female healthcare worker wearing a blue surgical mask and glasses inside a hospital. The caption notes that due to rising respiratory infections, Paris hospitals have reinstated mask mandates for staff and visitors, with Dr. Kierzek explaining that masks remain necessary though not sufficient to resolve the hospital crisis.
