Help break the stigma around #LongCOVID: share your story by writing an op-ed! To help demystify the process of writing and pitching, we hosted a free webinar with expert guests Torie Bosch, Funmi Okunola, and Madeline Miller.

Above the heart, highlighted text reads: "Share what it’s like to live with Long Covid by March 1." In the bottom right of the graphic is a teal bubble; inside, the text reads "your experience here" with an arrow pointing to the heart.

Julie is glad that she’s wearing a mask on a flight with poor ventilation. CO2 level is at 1654 ppm. High CO2 level is a proxy for poor ventilation. She is flying American Airlines to Scottsdale for RECOVER planning meetings.
High risk for everyone especially those who are #LongCOVID immune-deficient but can’t miss out on the 2026 RECOVER planning session.

Still writing the book on IPC.
Been through every single IPC guideline involving hands - I can find no evidence that handwashing / hand hygiene is the single most important way to prevent HAI.
More soon.

First page of the manuscript: Distinct brain alterations and neurodegenerative processes in cognitive impairment associated with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19
Very important study and more evidence that #NeuroCovid can contribute to neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment. When they say 'it's all in your head', they might be trying to be dismissive, but are accidentally being very realistic.
