Recent photo at the NHS. Over 6 years into #COVID, and we still have “wash your hands” under “AIRBORNE PRECAUTIONS.” We are failing hard to communicate one of the most basic lessons of this pandemic: Airborne means spread through the AIR. Clean air is infection control. #Airborne #PublicHealth #NHS
Photo shows a sign at NHS that says: Airborne precaution

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

Mounting research shows that COVID‑19 leaves its mark on the brain, including significant drops in IQ scores
Publié: 28 février 2024, 23:42 CET
From the very early days of the pandemic, brain fog emerged as a significant health condition that many experience after COVID-19.

Brain fog is a colloquial term that describes a state of mental sluggishness or lack of clarity and haziness that makes it difficult to concentrate, remember things and think clearly.

Fast-forward four years and there is now abundant evidence that being infected with SARS-CoV-2 – the virus that causes COVID-19 – can affect brain health in many ways.Published: 27 February 2024
