Holiday gathering reminder 🎁

If your guests test w/rapids twice before the event, 48 hours apart, it’ll catch 63% of Covid cases even if they have no symptoms. Testing 3x improves that to 79%!

This is how we curb the annual January surge that gave me Long Covid—thanks for protecting yr community 🤍

Flu and Covid are both surging.

If you want to stay healthy for the holidays, wear a mask! Ideally a well fitted respirator like an N95.

A layered approach works best.

Get your boosters (if you can!), mask up, clean and ventilate the air and stay home when sick.

Masking is community care.

Long-COVID research just got a big funding boost: will it find new treatments?

This. People are contagious before symptoms start — masking protects everyone.

New COVID vax formula produces antibodies nearly 3X longer.

“SARS-CoV-2 has a continual transmission cycle and emergence of new variants that can jeopardise vaccine effectiveness,” but data shows updated COVID shots boost cross-reactive antibodies, offering stronger protection.

Doctors focus on one body part at a time, but Long COVID hits everything. When nobody connects the dots, people get ignored — that’s why so many with Long COVID fall through the cracks. It’s not a mystery, just a virus causing damage in lots of different ways.

Joshua Roman, 41, is an American cellist who once practiced 10hrs a day and toured the world performing standard and original works. After getting COVID in 2021, he developed Long COVID with severe brain fog and fatigue, becoming too weak to play his instrument or even climb stairs

A friend with a new baby asked guests to mask in order to hold her baby. A relative refused to mask & broke down in tears about her "restrictions"

As a reminder, babies <6 months have the 2nd highest hospitalization rate from Covid after adults 75+ & are too young to be vaxxed

Scott Morrison’s plan, supported by Anthony Albanese of “living with the virus” is financially unsustainable.

And yes.

I said that before they infected you all.

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Australia's Heart Foundation just launched an info campaign on the harms of COVID to cardiovascular health - good to see!

But current vaccines only reduce risk of heart damage, they do not eliminate it. We need masking, clean indoor air, better prevention & next gen vaccines

I’m afraid that I can’t refute this.

My feeling is it will be similar to the tobacco issue.

Some might say that’s tolerable, but it is sad.
What future can there be for the children of today, growing up in a world filled with uncontrolled Covid-19? The harsh truth is that many children, having been subject to repeated infections, are destined for an unhappy fate of serious illness and early mortality.

People who recovered from mild–moderate COVID-19 still show persistent lung and vascular inflammation. This ongoing inflammatory response suggests COVID can have systemic, long-term effects that may raise cardiovascular (CV) risk even after symptoms improve.

Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

Long COVID’s hidden toll: the South Africans still battling fatigue, anxiety and memory loss.

In South Africa, over 4 million COVID cases were confirmed. For many, recovery was only the start; fatigue, poor focus and mood changes now affect work, relationships and quality of life.

The fact that asymptomatic Covid cases can lead to Long Covid IMO probably leads to more people attributing illness to vaccine complications than what could actually occurring, when the underlying problem could be a Covid infection.

When they ask you
(and they will ask you)
if you are tired
of wearing a mask all the time,
you can tell them yes
or you can tell them no,
but be sure to tell them
that what you are really tired of
is everyone you know
getting sick all the time.

I’ve spent the last hour reading hundreds of posts from long COVID support groups.

I can’t tell you how upsetting it is to read the suffering.

Trigger warning.⚠️

Several posts talk of a feeling of fading away… into death…

and we have recently lost several wonderful long COVID advocates…

I have heard it said
that some influencers
have taken to
putting sliced raw potatoes
in their socks before bed
thinking that this
will cure their colds,
but if you are concerned
about your health
you do not need
to put a potato in your sock
but a mask on your face.

"Strange Structures Found Lurking in The Blood of People With Long COVID."

Analysis found long COVID patients had far more microclots than healthy controls — a median 19.7-fold increase — and the clots were also significantly larger than those seen in healthy blood.
