With a record number of more than 10.000 registered participants and including the most renowned experts in both fields, this community-driven and solely crowd-funded conference marked a milestone and a turning point, giving hope to countless patients around the world desperately waiting for help. The conference began with a video message from the German Federal Minister of Health, Prof. Dr. Karl Lauterbach, acknowledging the global health crisis associated with Long Covid, ME/CFS and other post- viral diseases and announcing the allocation of around 150 million EURO to research for these illnesses. The following more than 40 speakers included Prof. Akiko Iwasaki, Prof. Dr. Ron Davis, Dr. David Putrino, Prof. Dr. Carmen Scheibenbogen, Prof. Danny Altmann, and Prof. Dr. Resia Pretorius among many other leading experts and voices. There was a total of more than 20 hours of presentations and live Q&A sessions. The minimal breaks were filled with touching video contributions from patients and patient organizations.

From the FB account of the Yale School of Public Health (April 19, 2024):

Direct link to the post on FB:

Partial screenshot of the FB post by the YaleSPH on April 19, 2024: "Five years with SARS-CoV-2 in our midst, and the CDC reports that 43 million Americans have experienced Long COVID. Some have recovered, but roughly 17 million - the same number of people who have cancer in the U.S. - still deal with the condition, and that number continues to grow. [...] Correction: We've updated slide 6 to read 72%, not 172%, though other studies have found the risk of autoimmune disorders increased by 198% following infection." Images (tiles) state: Img1: "WHAT WE KNOW (AND DON'T) ABOUT COVID-19'S EFFECT ON THE IMMUNE SYSTEM -- Yale SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH" Img2: "Growing research shows infection with SARS-CoV-2 can create lasting differences in some people's immune systems." Img3: "THIS LOOKS LIKE... 1 Altered immune system cells Severe cases of COVID-19 can change the parent stem cells that generate immune cells. These altered stem cells create cells that are more inflammatory. 2 Viral reservoirs and fragments Proteins and fragments that have been found in people with Long COVID can set off a continuing immune response and amplify inflammation. 3 Immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation Dysregulation = when some immune cells are working hard, and others are exhausted. How long it can last is unknown. 4 Triggered autoimmune conditions, blood clots, and latent viruses COVID-19 infections can trigger autoantibodies that lead to autoimmune disorders."

Covid increases dementia risk:

- 60% after “mild” infection if over 60
- 1700% after severe infection
- 2x cognitive impairment after ANY Covid

NHS: Record-high dementia cases (499,068 in England).

Mask. Ventilate. Act now—apathy kills. Dementia is preventable, but only if we care.

It’s also possible that Covid tricks the immune system into producing antibodies that attack a person’s own healthy organs and tissues, said Dr. Igor Koralnik, co-director of Northwestern Medicine’s Comprehensive COVID-19 Center.
