This is an important development

Guys, if you want to carry on pretending nothing can be done about viruses, so doctors with #LongCovid can't successfully sue you for Health & Safety at Work violations, this letter rather lets the 🐈 out of the bag!

1) A randomized trial from Boston shows that nicotinamide riboside supplementation (2000 mg/day) probably doesn't improve Long Covid symptoms such as fatigue or cognition.

It increased NAD+ levels substantially (as intended), but there was no similar improvement in symptoms.

SARS-CoV-2 Leaves a Lasting Mark on the Immune System A landmark new study shows COVID-19 isn’t ‘just a cold’: One infection left people with long-lasting immune damage, and those with heart disease lost up to 70% of key immune cells. Reinfections may wo...

“Jiang and colleagues conclude, carefully but clearly, that their findings ‘redefine SARS-CoV-2 infection as a condition of long-lasting immune compromise’ and highlight lymphocyte dysregulation as a key immunological feature of Long Covid, particularly in people with cardiovascular disease.”

Everyone's in denial about post-Covid damage.

"A new study... should end any lingering idea that SARS-CoV-2 is ‘just another cold virus.’ It shows that a single, relatively short Omicron wave left a long, measurable scar on [our] adaptive immune systems"

#LongCovid

Fella who has been fingered for 23k excess deaths during COVID, through his shear complacency, laziness, thoughtless and hate for his fellow citizens wonders why so many people are ill or in poor health.
Austerity, you fucking disgrace and long COVID you repugnant twat.

Trump just pardoned a person responsible for more American deaths than Bin Laden Trump 100% personally profited from this pardon

Trump was responsible for at least 300-500k Covid deaths and unknowable number of long Covid cases. Which while reported previously went unreported by Big Media during the 2024 campaign.

Ever wondered how virus laden aerosols (“virosols”) form and spread? 🌬️

Proud to have co-authored this paper on experiences of #LongCovid and work:

“I've done my job for 30 years and I'm very competent at it, but I couldn't understand what some of the words were meaning… It's almost having to recognise things again and relearn things”

QICN to close long Covid nursing network

As I said to a friend some time back, "Covid broke me". Not in terms of my getting Long Covid or such but, rather, because of the destruction of my trust in people in high places as well as the shock of discovering that some people I considered intelligent and were my friends were utter Covidiots.

Eat out to Help Out was killing people, but they “kept it out of the news”.
