Don’t underestimate the impact you’re making when you choose to wear a mask.

You’re protecting your health & the health of your community. You’re helping ease the burden on our healthcare system.

You’re standing in solidarity with disabled people & telling the government that no one is expendable

this!!! i was always just more ‘tired’ than other people, frequently got a sore throat whenever i was ‘run down’ (which would happen every 4-6 weeks like clockwork or whenever i exercised). i *wish* i had known then what i know now.
Another thing that scares me is that among the 11,785 infected participants, 4692 (39.8%) were “ME/CFS-like, w/ at least one ME/CFS symptom.” My friends & I talk often about how we were “ME/CFS-like” for years before we got sick enough to actually meet the criteria
4.5% rate of ME/CFS post Covid infection.

If you know how bad ME/CFS is, you know that’s a terrifying statistic.

PwME have only been saying that this would happen since March 2020 🫠😭

(this is not a ‘gotcha’ thing. it’s fucking depressing af watching it aaaaallllll unfold like so many of us predicted, including the fascism)
Massive prospective study published today shows that 4.5% of people who had #COVID19 later met #MECFS diagnostic criteria, compared to just 0.6% of people who never were infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus

88% of these new ME/CFS cases also met the criteria for a diagnosis of #LongCovid
NIH-funded study finds cases of ME/CFS increase following SARS-CoV-2
ME/CFS is a complex, serious, and chronic condition that often occurs following an infection.
