In some guidelines, annual pneumonia is an indication for immunodeficiency screening.

If the lack of data
makes it difficult for you to know
exactly how bad
the current Covid wave is,
just look at the newspaper
of recordβs recent headline:
βCovid is spreading again
this summer,β
and remember
if they have to admit
the virus isnβt gone
this wave must be pretty bad.
Read the latest from the Covid-Is-Not-Over newsletter:
Sick of  being sick? Fix air quality in schools, Wear an N95 mask, End mask bans, Work from home, and more

Patients deserve protection from airborne viruses. Whether itβs a routine visit or a critical test, health care providers across Canada must do better.

Altruan had to change their website to comply w/FDA scrutiny.
So you will see "This is not available in your country" when you visit the site and try to order human PlusLife products.
Go to the bottom left corner and choose Switzerland (neutrality and all ;) )
Then proceed to checkoutβ¦
Change the country to Switzerland (neutrality), then proceed to put your real address into the shipping field. This is info from the Facebook group βStill, with PlusLife PCR-like Detectionβ. Admins have a direct line to Altruan. Iβve been told it works. I cannot share screenshots of the post.

And instead of investigations and treatment, people end up at home with some SSRI and risk loosing their life.

Seconding the Readimask. Many respi brands have aluminum nosepieces, so are MRI safe, but the tech we had said it could cause ?distortion on the images (especially if they are looking at your head) so no metal is best. In a pinch, u could tape a surgical mask with nose wire removed (to seal to face)

Iβm often asked for a letter to provide friends, family members or colleagues that explains why I take SARS-CoV-2 so seriously and what I do to protect my family. Iβve written this personal letter to share my perspective & the steps I take. I hope it helps others. π§΅π

Screenshot of the study published yesterday Annals of Neurology. Title: Neurologic Manifestations of Long COVID Disproportionately Affect Young and Middle-Age Adults. Interpretation: Younger and middle-age individuals are disproportionally affected by post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (Neuro-PASC) regardless of acute COVID-19 severity. Although older people more frequently have abnormal neurologic findings and comorbidities, younger and middle-age patients suffer from a higher burden of Neuro-PASC symptoms and cognitive dysfunction contributing to decreased QoL. Neuro-PASC principally affects adults in their prime, contributing to profound public health and socioeconomic impacts warranting dedicated resources for prevention, diagnosis and interventions.

You may think that neurological symptoms in #LongCovid are for old people, but it is the opposite. Young adults (18β44βyears) and middle-aged (45β64βyears) with mild acute #COVID cases (non-hospitalized), represent 90% of the cases of #NeuroCovid. Read here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
