I have COVID, now what?

You can still stop the spread of the virus

Reduce the likelihood of infecting others in your household by isolating yourself as soon as possible, improving air circulation, and encouraging everyone to wear masks. People who test positive for COVID are contagious for at least 10 days . After this period, another COVID test is recommended.

Avoid leaving home as much as possible. If you have an emergency or something that you cannot postpone, wear an N95/RN95/FPP2 mask.
(A PCR test may be required to obtain disability benefits or due to long-term persistent COVID )

Hydration
Dehydration is linked to developing long COVID so stay hydrated!

Rest
The risk of developing long COVID is higher in people who do not get adequate rest . Avoid exercise or physical activity during infection and in the weeks afterward. Rest and pacing yourself are essential to treating chronic fatigue syndrome, a common symptom of long COVID

Learn about Long COVID.
At least 50% of COVID infections are asymptomatic.
At least 10% of infections end in long COVID.

Long COVID is a set of health issues after someone has COVID-19. These could be: new health issues, ongoing issues, or worsening of previous symptoms or conditions. Long COVID is a biological disease that affects hundreds of millions of people around the world. It can cause significant disability and can be fatal. It is a continuing health crisis.

Learn about Long COVID.
Long COVID is an umbrella term that generally refers to symptoms which persist more than three months after a COVID infection.

It’s critical to note that Long COVID can affect any and all organ systems in the body. It can impact the heart, lungs, digestive system, pancreas, brain, kidneys, liver, and more. It can harm the immune system. For this reason, the damage SARS-COV-2 can leave behind in a body may seem random, strange, or hard to believe.

• Remember: covid is not over, 50% of infections are asymptomatic, minimum 10% of infections end up in long COVID, re-infections wreck us, COVID spreads and moves like cigarette smoke, think of the people around you and you as people who are all day smoking, it becomes more visual to understand how COVID moves.
• There is no way to “train” the immune system because it is not a muscle. there is a common misconception that exposure to harmful germs strengthens the immune system. viral diseases like COVID, flu, measles weaken the immune system, leaving the possibility of lasting damage. The reality is that you don't build your immunity with repeated infections, vaccines strengthen the immune system by teaching it to recognize pathogens without all the risks. Focusing on infection prevention is key.
• Rapid antigen tests give many false negatives.
• Solving the pandemic was never in the cards for the capitalist world.
• Instead, the explicit goal of the ruling class has been to make the pandemic simply disappear from public perception. Any reminder of the existence of a highly-transmissible, highly-dangerous, mass-disabling disease could trigger panic, or worse: organized, militant labor action. Averting this crisis required a careful campaign of culture-crafting; the people themselves needed to become convinced that there was no reason to fight. Consent for protracted mass infection needed to be manufactured.

“The cold truth of the matter is that the motive behind COVID minimization is greed and social control. (…) Solving the pandemic was never in the cards for the capitalist world. Instead, the explicit goal of the ruling class has been to make the pandemic simply disappear from public perception.” Let Them Eat Plague! clarion.unity-struggle-unity.o…

“Keep moving forward” is the motto of one of the characters in Meet the Robinsons (2007). It’s a simple phrase that’s stayed with me ever since and one that I believe fully captures the growth mindset.

No matter the setback, take what learnings you can from it and figure out how to stay on the path to your goals. Keep moving forward.

Italy: Latest update on the repressive situation in Italy involving Gabriel Pombo da Silva

Today in Labor History December 14, 1951: Bagel Bakers Local 338, of the Bakery and Confectionery Workers International Union, went on strike in New York. They shut down 32 of the city’s 34 bagel bakeries. The remaining 2 bakeries could not keep up with the city’s 1.2 million per week demand for bagels. Lox sales dropped 30-50%. The strike lasted until February.

The Bagel Bakers Local 338 was established in the early 20th century. Originally, it was comprised of an entirely Jewish workforce and conducted its meetings in Yiddish. The union controlled the bagel market for decades, until the 1960s, with the introduction of the automated Thompson Bagel Machine, which could produce 300 dozen bagels in the time that two men working together could roll 125 dozen. In the early 1970s, the union merged into a broader baker's union.

Today's twelve years since #China landed a stationary lander and a small rover, Chang'e 3 & Yutu, on the Moon. Both fully functional. In May of 2021 they had similar success with a similar pair of devices on Mars.

The US Republican administration is now drastically de-funding planetary science missions like these. Because their leader is a very old person who thinks people in space suits on TV are what's cool, like in 1969.

While Trump and Kushner both have envisioned wealthy resort concepts,
most of the international community wishes to see Gaza rebuilt as a livable home for its 2.1 million Palestinian residents.

Meanwhile, Israel continues to control half of the Gaza Strip,
and has said it will forbid reconstruction on the half overseen by Hamas until the group disarms.

Two former Doge officials were dispatched to the region as planning for postwar Gaza ramped up this fall.

One was Josh Gruenbaum,
an appointee to the General Services Administration now serving as a senior adviser to the Gaza taskforce.

The other was Adam Hoffman,
a 25-year-old Princeton graduate, who joined Elon Musk’s Doge efforts last March.

Two people who have dealt directly with the junior adviser say that Hoffman has become a driving force in the newest plans.

“The impression is that whatever those guys say is going to happen,”
said a person familiar with the process.

Even before finishing college, Hoffman briefly worked in Trump’s first administration at the Council of Economic Advisors.

At Princeton, he alleged there was antisemitism on campus after a prominent critic of the Israeli government was invited to speak at a solidarity event with Gaza.

Three sources familiar with the process say Hoffman has been soliciting ideas for a new logistics scheme in Gaza.

The Guardian has reviewed a planning document, which the sources say was circulated by Hoffman,
that details a new “Gaza Supply System Logistics Architecture”.

Labeled “Sensitive but Unclassified”,
Hoffman’s planning document calls for a
“Master Contractor” to supply 600 humanitarian and commercial truckloads to Gaza per day.

It suggests charging a $2,000 fee for every humanitarian load and a $12,000 fee to commercial trucks.

By operating as a licensing entity,
the contractor could “earn a fair return”
off humanitarian and commercial clients entering Gaza, the document says.

If a “Master Contractor” performs apace, the Guardian estimates that they could gross $1.7bn a year on trucking fees alone.

¿Sabían que en 1989 una mujer llamó a la policía porque un conejo gigante la estaba acosando? 🐰🚔

Suena a mal viaje de película, pero pasó en Austria. La mujer juraba que un conejo de casi un metro de altura la perseguía por la calle, la miraba fijamente desde las esquinas y hasta le "hacía gestos". 🤨

La policía llegó pensando que la señora estaba loca, ¡pero se encontraron al conejo! Resulta que no era una alucinación, sino un Conejo Gigante de Flandes que se había escapado de una granja cercana. El bicho era tan grande que la gente pensaba que era un perro con orejas largas o un niño disfrazado. 🥕💨

¿Ustedes qué harían si un conejo del tamaño de un niño los empieza a seguir? 😂👇

The hole in the ozone layer closed on December 1

The ozone layer is a layer of the atmosphere that protects us from UV light. Years ago, it was noticed that chlorofluorocarbons in aerosol sprays were aiding in the depletion of the ozone layer, and a hole was detected in this protective layer. After years of regulation and work, the hole is closed.

Ozone hole finally closed on December 1 — Experts know "it will reopen soon" but there's

The ozone hole closed on December 1, and although experts warn it will reopen soon, emerging data offers real hope for long-term healing of Earth’s atmosphere.

Dave Winer, @davew is basically the inventor of RSS and I take the chance to mention him as I am doing my best to be an RSS advocate with my own possibilities and limits, even with non-technical people who don't understand why I insist in "so complex things" when "commercial platforms give you everything in an instant".
I talked about ActivityPub and RSS during my last WordCamp, Pisa -Italy- 22nd November 2025. Italian, unfortunately; I'll share my talk when it's out on WordPress TV but I fear there won't be English subtitles.

But I limited what I wanted to say because a word could violate WordPress's code of conduct.
It's nothing obscene, it's the metaphoric name of an anchor-stone. But in Venice they call it "coion", like the vulgar word for testicle. It's basically a round stone structure which firmly anchors the arch of a bridge, to its vertical support. It's invisible to human eyes, people even don't know it exists. But it allows Venetian bridges to resist for centuries. It's fundamental. But if for a reason or another it becomes visible, it means that the bridge is damaged.
Same way of a linchpin for a wheel.

This word is even used for a person. When someone is essential for a community, determines its success too, but if they get attention or ask for visibility, they could even become an obstacle. Or they are treated as such. No idea if the word corresponding to "coion" for a person has the same idea in English. I have found "moron" but I don't know if it's the same.
Basically, when you are important and have not a very strong personality, so you let others treat you as invisible, they consider you as always available, always granted. And treat you badly if you raise your hand and say "I'm here too"; they immediately send you back to your place.

RSS is treated the same: many of commercial platform users don't even know about its existence but without RSS, no newspaper or whatever social pages sharing news automatically, could fetch contents.
I agree with Dave when he says that RSS is more important than ActivityPub. Simply RSS can work without ActivityPub but often not vice-versa.
