Day 911.
Saw the number, had to post.

"Nine One One: What's you're emergency?"
My life has been taken from me. I need it back.

"Can you give me a description of the perpetrator?"
Not really, no. Fast, subtle, impossible to pin down. Seemed innocent enough. Then took everything. #LongCOVID

Funny how when a real scientist responds to an ideologue about their dated beliefs the cracks start to show re: #LongCOVID. Initially I was annoyed that Nature even legitimized such a weak response from Garner et al, but now all the world can see that the emperor has no clothes.

Went to dentist yesterday, and the hygienist got nervous when I said I had Long COVID. I assumed she misheard and thought I said I had COVID. I clarified it was Long COVID and wasn't contagious.

She had no idea what Long COVID even was. A medical professional.

This is not a good state of things.

I'm receiving reports from Indiana something is seriously wrong.

Hospitals are filling up with flu A patients on ventilators.

The ICU is overflowing, forcing critically ill patients into the Progressive Care Unit (PCU).

Layla Moran has the distinction of being the first MP to break the #WallOfSilence on #covid and #longcovid and point out the government's deliberate avoidance of it. 👏https://centralbylines.co.uk/news/health/covid-19-is-there-a-gagging-order/

New Video: @georgemonbiot.bsky.social describes the treatment of #MECFS as "The Greatest Medical Scandal of the 21st century". The video explores the impact of ineffective & harmful treatments & how they were defended by the scientific & media establishment.

There is no cure for Long Covid.

Repeat infections raise your risk of developing Long Covid.

If you have Long Covid, repeat infections put you at risk of worsened Long Covid.
