Covid - Blog Posts
It's sad. Gen Z will be able to say that we were alive at the sa!e time as Queen Elizabeth. That we watched the war in Ukraine happen, That we loved through Covid. We might just go down in history, as the generation who lived through it all
C'e stato un tempo nel quale si faceva la fila per entrare al supermercato a causa di un brutto virus.
That's right. There are more daily infections now than in *89%* of the pandemic
Mask the fuck up people. Protect yourselves, protect those you love, protect our fucking species
So, India is dying.
Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.
If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.
A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.
There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.
There is no plan.
Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.
Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.
We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.
This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.
We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.
People are dying.
People are dying.
People are dying and there is no plan.
More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.
My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.
Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.
But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.
She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.
So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.
If you can, donate.
Or spread the word.
Help. Please.

I don’t know how many of you may have already heard about this on Twitter, but because most of you may not have heard yet, and some may want more context for what’s going on, I’m going to make an important statement that I hope all of you read carefully.

Covid e sicurezza informatica: cosa abbiamo imparato e quali sfide dobbiamo ancora affrontare
Covid e sicurezza informatica: cosa abbiamo imparato durante la pandemia
Mentre i cambiamenti apportati dalla pandemia globale COVID 19 stanno esacerbando le vulnerabilità nell’economia globale, tra cui il rischio di paralizzare gli attacchi informatici contro infrastrutture critiche come la rete elettrica, ci cerca di costruire una nuova agilità aziendale.
Costruire una vera agilità aziendale o business agility e imparare a cavalcare l’onda delle opportunità – e delle sfide – post Covid significa puntare al massimo valore di competitività a lungo termine (o più lungamente possibile). Agilità e flessibilità, di cui a lungo parliamo, sono ora i punti di partenza per migliorare le proprie capacità, visioni, la propria innovazione e diventare infine punto di riferimento, di motivazione e ispirazione per i propri impiegati.
L’agilità aziendale riguarda l’evoluzione di valori, comportamenti e capacità: oggi le azeinde che seguono vecchi modelli corrono il rischio di affondare. Se invece le aziende e gli individui che le compongono guardano all’adattamento, alla creatività, all’innovazione e alla resilienza allora, in un momento di incertezza, quale può essere il post dell’epidemia Covid – consente di superare complessità ed incertezze, arrivando a risultati migliori e ad un diverso livello di benessere per tutti.
Come ragiscono nel frattempo i CEO del settore Cybersecurity?

Smart Working e pandemia Covid: l’imprevedibiità
Leonardo CyberSecurity, smart working e pandemia
Le analisi di Leonardo, durante i primi mesi dell’anno, hanno evidenziato due fenomeni principali relativi alla situazione durante la pandemia:
Amlpliamento della superficie degli attacchi informatici con un maggior numero di persone collegata da remoto attravverso connessioni non protette per non parlare delle connessioni mobile.
Il tema Coronavirus – attraverso tutte le sue parole chiave – è stato utlizzato in un contensto di nuovi attacchi verso quelle strutture che sono state impegnate nel garantire servizi essenziali come il settore sanitario.
Il 90% degli attacchi è derivato dall’inconsapevolezza e scarsa preparazione degli impiegati nella sicurezza informatica. Ciò significa che la consapevolezza deve essere accresciuta, che bisognerebbe investire di più nella sicurezza informatica che insegna ad utilizzare gli strumenti giusti. Ciò significa agilità aziendale: essere in grado di fare fronte alle sfide della nostra trasformazione digitale, in modo efficiente ed efficace. Tuttavia la lezione più importante è stata chiara: sicurezza informatica e Covid hanno una cosa in comune, l’imprevedibilità. E’ qualcosa che si può aggiustare? Si con una maggiore resilienza, ma soprattutto reinventandosi ogni giorno.

Cybersecurity e Covid: cosa hanno in comune?
Un concetto che viene insegnato agli studenti di sicurezza informatica è che non c’è alcuna sicurezza assoluta: ovvero “nessuna iniziativa di sicurezza e’ tale da garantire, con assoluta certezza, l’ assenza di rischi informatici“. Allo stesso modo di un nuovo malaware o ransomware, non ci è stato possibile prevedere come il nuovo Coronavirus avrebbe influenzato – e in quale misura – le nostre vite, la nostra società, la nostra economia.

Corona 2021 Trở lại LỢI HẠI hơn xưa TRAILER |Nông Thôn Việt Nam
Okay y’all, now is the time to get real serious about corona. Wear your masks. Stay social distanced. Sanitize often. Because I just met day like 20 really pretty girls in my online classes and if I don’t get the chance to meet ANY OF THEM, I WILL EAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
WHERE A GODDAMN MASK, YOU DUMB FUCKS!
WEAR. A. MASK.
As someone who loves soccer and working with kids, it's really bittersweet at the end of a season. On the one hand I lose my current team. On the other, I get to know a new group of players and see my past players grow and learn as they have other coaches and play more competitively.
These kids went through so much this past year. It's said a lot. But it's true. I work with 3 to 8 year old children, and the younger the kid, the more clueless they are at interacting with children and other people. This year I taught not only soccer, but how to make friends and interact in more positive ways. And so I wanted to make them something to remember this crazy but fun soccer season.
I cut and sanded down scrap wood, cut out stencils for the team name, season, and each players name and number. I used a pencil to lightly outline my letters for burning and went at it. The backs all had the team name and season, and the other side was personalized for each player with their name and number.
Whelp, it’s official. My aunt has COVID. Which means it’s very likely it’s in my household as well as she and my sister see each other every day at school. And so we are self-quarantining. Hopefully that and the end of finals means I’ll have more time for art.
hey—the thread that starts like this?
it's been debunked by snopes
i cannot stress enough that it has been debunked by snopes and contains dangerous misinformation
stop reblogging it! stop retweeting it! you are actively putting people in danger when you do so
this might be a hot take but i think we should still be required to wear masks on airplanes
HELP

Covid
Sorry folks, I don't post much anymore — not because nothing is happening or that I no longer care, etc. — but because there's frankly too much bullshit happening constantly due to this "administration". I've been busy and trying to do what I can IRL. I assume most of you have solid sources you're getting news from, anyway.
But if you see this today, Friday, May 23, 2025,
Please leave a comment here; let them know vaccines are vital:

You can pick the Federal Govt section and submit anonymously if you want. Call your reps if you have the spoons to.
I just got Covid and I’m so
So fucking pissed, I made it 4 years and a movie before getting it, I did everything right, I wore my mask and got all my vaccines
Just kill this disease already jfc
“I don’t want to get the vaccine because there’s only a 3% fatality rate.”
If someone hands you a hundred skittles and tells you three of them are poison, you still probably wanna avoid the skittles.
I’m very annoyed with the fact that American news networks only really share the American death toll, 582K, as if Americans are the only ones that matter. It’s just more of our America-centric bullshit. The global death toll is over 3.31M. Let me repeat that. The global death toll is over 3.31 MILLION. 3,310,000. That’s how many people have died. Because Americans, believe it or not, are not the only people in the world.
Here it is! The instructions to make a pieced and quilted plague doctor mask!
Just as a heads up, this pattern is not really recommended for beginners. There is not a whole lot of explanation of the basic techniques, and it requires a fair bit of precision, two types of fusible interfacing, and an assumption that you can keep a consistent seam allowance and do some hand sewing and know when to sew things right sides together and such.
I am not promising anything, different methods will yield different results, I have never made a pattern exactly as it was written and neither should you. If you want something the same as the next person, go to the shops.
Actually, nevermind, this is a quarantine craft, stay home.

Man now that I have to be careful about getting sick I can’t lick my fingers after I eat Cheetos. What a waste of Cheeto dust. -_-
