Standing by his principles, standing up to bullies. Bravo, Zohran!
A tweet from “ABC News” states that days after a friendly Oval Office meeting with Trump, NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said he still believes Trump is a fascist and a threat to democracy. The image shows Mamdani and Trump smiling in the Oval Office.

the short and tumultuous life of Sandy Denny was largely defined by self harm, bouts of mania, what was probably post-partum depression, lack of self worth and addiction...her loss in 1978 was a tragedy waiting to happen...but that voice..

The Albanese government has signed up to a commitment to phase out fossil fuels…and to achieve that goal….it says we need more fossil fuels…FFS

The Liberals’ new energy plan recycles climate denial talking points and flat-out falsehoods. It’s not policy – it’s a fossil-fuel fantasy. Voters deserve better than fearmongering and misinformation. #ClimateCrisis #AusPol #EnergyPolicy #PearlsandIrritations #NetZero #ActOnClimate
Senate committee on disinformation should look into the Liberals' energy policy: It is full of it
The Liberal Party’s new energy policy recycles discredited claims and fossil fuel talking points, undermining public trust and delaying the essential task of real action.

Yep, this!

High-quality masking slows transmission because the virus has fewer hosts to jump to for viral replication. It’s basic science, but people forget how effective it still is.

A screenshot of a social media post by the account “Drop seeds not bombs” (@helenaddy). The post reads: “The more people who wear high quality masks, the less hosts there would be for viral replication. I feel like that is a very basic concept and I wish people could understand it.” Underneath are the timestamp “2:05 PM · Nov 23, 2025” and a view count of “17.1K Views.”

UK health officials urge extra precautions, including wearing a mask if you have symptoms, as 4 winter viruses spread: RSV, Flu, COVID and Norovirus.

Source: archive.md/z6uDK
A Manchester Evening News article headline reads: “UKHSA says ‘wear a mask’ as four viruses spread in UK.” The subheading notes that health officials expect “further increases” in winter virus levels as colder months arrive. The article is written by Bethan Finighan and dated November 21, 2025 at 16:08. Below the headline is a photograph of a woman standing on a train platform. She has blonde hair and is wearing a white medical mask and a coat with a fur collar. A blurred train is visible behind her. A caption beneath the image says that people with symptoms of winter viruses are encouraged to wear a face covering.

Trolls who’ve had COVID multiple times are now giving health advice. 🤦‍♂️

Every COVID infection harms the immune system and makes you more vulnerable to other illnesses. Hundreds of thousands of studies show this. Taking no precautions in an ongoing pandemic is basically playing Russian roulette.
covid is oncogenic @chaitrovert trolls be like “masks don’t do anything and they damage your immune system by keeping you from getting sick” 11:24 AM · Nov 20, 2025 · 3,869 Views

Economic burden of long COVID: macroeconomic, cost-of-illness and microeconomic impacts

Published: 21 November 2025

Long COVID affects an estimated 36% globally, creating a huge economic burden: about $1 trillion a year worldwide, roughly $9,000 per US patient and $170 billion in lost US earnings.
A screenshot of an article page from npj Primary Care Respiratory Medicine. The headline reads: “Economic burden of long COVID: macroeconomic, cost-of-illness and microeconomic impacts.” The article is written by Amit Bansal and published on 21 November 2025 as an open-access brief communication. The abstract text explains that Long COVID—defined as symptoms lasting more than three months after SARS-CoV-2 infection—poses a major global health and economic challenge. It notes a global prevalence estimate of 36%, with reported ranges from 1–92%. The article summarizes current estimates of economic impacts, including macroeconomic costs, cost-of-illness, and microeconomic effects. It highlights an average annual global economic burden of $1 trillion and about $9,000 per patient in the USA, where some individuals also face substantial out-of-pocket costs. Lost earnings in the USA are estimated at $170 billion annually. The abstract further mentions increased unemployment, financial distress, and work impairment lasting up to three years post-infection. The paper calls for standardised metrics, notes methodological discrepancies, and identifies research gaps, including the lack of longitudinal studies, limited economic aggregation, and insufficient data on long COVID subtypes, biomarkers, and intervention evaluations.
