Interested in how this may induce micro vascular dysfunction and vasospasm.

If you like his words, you should see him dance on stage!

It's like Riverdance but on mind bending drugs and without the charm.

Nice set!

Oral hygiene has been linked to multiple health conditions, including dementia and diabetes. Now, research shows that people with both gum disease and more tooth cavities also have a notably higher risk of stroke.

Keep batting, i wore an N95 every day i was in the office and dealt with the comments with a straight reply such as "the first time was bad, i don't want it again" or "yes i'll wear it until a better vaccine comes alone or forever, whichever comes first".

A sample of 65 yr+ Covid survivors show "immune exhaustion or maladaptive remodeling of lymphocyte populations". This could contribute to "impaired immunosurveillance and increased vulnerability to secondary infections or chronic inflammatory conditions"

Covid jabs gave under-18s heart problems – but were less risky than catching virus

The health impact of a Covid infection was higher than the risks from the vaccine for teens and children - but it won't settle arguments over current vaccine policy

Filled out a credit card application today- was happy to put $0 fuel costs. Ours runs on sunshine and the odd free council charge.

I get it, my disability is hidden, i look normal and can mostly move normally so get strange looks when i don't "do" normal things.

Oh that and because of the N95 respirator of course but i'm old enough not to GAF 😆

Covid and Flu Can Triple Your Risk of Heart Attack

Heart attack risk triples within weeks after a COVID-19 infection and quadruples within a month after a flu infection, per a large review and analysis published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

Source: archive.li/kbL8w

Screenshot of a New York Times article titled “Covid and Flu Can Triple Your Risk of Heart Attack.” The subheading reads, “A new analysis adds to the research about the link between viral infections and heart disease.” Below, a photo shows a person sitting indoors wearing a dark shirt and grey cardigan, clutching their chest with one hand and raising the other toward their mouth, suggesting chest discomfort.

Thanks for representing, Tom Hanks! Folks who wear respirators in 2025 know what's up 💜

Early and mid Teens can’t get Covid vax in Australia, luckily my kid is a dual citizen and we take her to another country that will vax her.

I mask on planes- long haul flights so it’s tough going but worth not arriving ill at the other end.

GW @therealgw.bsky.social · 14d

I catch cold and flu easily, but since I’ve been masking )from 2020) I have almost never had a cold or sniffle, the exceptions have been when I stopped masking outdoors in crowded areas or amongst close friends and I let my guard down.

I wonder how many EV owners have solar panels feeding their cars? 9,000kms in and I have barely paid anything for charging, saving $2k a year and the environment. Sundays I drive the diesel and I don’t like it much.

GW @therealgw.bsky.social · 17d

It is a little off the beaten track though. We went by car, I guess there are tour options.
Well worth the trip.

Not only that, many devices now use an app for adjustments even over Bluetooth, but if the app becomes obsolete or the phone is outdated it may no longer work as advertised.

I saw it some 10 years ago fantastic to look at although there were restoration works ongoing back then. Not to be missed!

Pretty sure Covid increased the speed of my arterial blockage and heart attack- family history was a factor as well. Covid appears to accelerate pre-existing conditions.
