Mashup Score: 0What It Means to Be Immunocompromised, and Why It Matters - 3 year(s) ago
You may not realize it, but you probably know at least one person who is immunocompromised. Immunocompromised, or immunosuppressed, people are more vulnerable to infections and have a harder time fighting them off. You wouldn’t necessarily know it from looking at us, however.

Mashup Score: 15Here's Your COVID Vaccine Rumor Roundup - 3 year(s) ago
Two COVID vaccines are now available in the US, and are currently being administered to healthcare workers and residents of long-term care facilities. But it’s new, and new things are scary, and both COVID and its vaccine have been relentlessly politicized. Rumors are flying.

Mashup Score: 1What Mind Games Do You Play on Yourself During Exercise? - 4 year(s) ago
As I’m slogging through a run, I never tell myself I’m halfway. Everything I just did, I have to do it all again? Not a helpful thought. Instead, I use some more creative math. The first mile of any run, after all, is just a warmup, and the last mile is gravy—if you only have a mile left, you can practically crawl home. So the hard part is everything in between, and suddenly you’re just talking…

Mashup Score: 7You Need to Run Slower - 4 year(s) ago
If running is hard, this is for you—especially if you’re a new runner, or if you’ve been running for a while but you just can’t seem to get any faster. The most important thing you need to learn is this: you get faster by running more, and you run more by running slower.

Mashup Score: 1No, COVID Deaths Aren't 'Only 6%' of What's Documented - 4 year(s) ago
There’s a stunningly wrong statistic being passed around, saying that the CDC “admitted” that only 6% of documented COVID-19 deaths were actually from the virus. This is wrong, and is the kind of thing that you can only conclude if you don’t know how death certificates work. The deaths were all from COVID, and about 95% of them had the coronavirus as the original cause of illness.

Thanks to @BethSkw for writing this about the ridiculously misinterpreted stat regarding coronavirus deaths. https://t.co/9RRWUr7ZEN

I told you all in January: if you’re worried about the coronavirus—at that point it wasn’t in the US yet, but people were already freaking out—use that nervous energy to get off your butt and get your damn flu shot. Now that COVID-19 is here to stay, I repeat: get your damn flu shot. It’s even more important now.

Mashup Score: 0
It’s more comfortable to go bare-faced than to wear a mask. And many of us are not used to wearing them, so one’s first experience of mask-wearing—in summer perhaps, in the middle of a pandemic—may feel stifling. But relax: the mask isn’t actually restricting your breathing. Promise.

Mashup Score: 4If Your Mask Has a Valve, It's Half Useless - 4 year(s) ago
If you’re wearing a face mask with a little plastic valve embedded in it, you should know that valves compromise the effectiveness of the mask—and this is true whether your mask is a hardware-store N95 or a designer cloth mask.

RT @lisabari: Hello. If your mask has valves, you might as well not be wearing a mask. And they should be banned. https://t.co/Hl6MWgRiH6
