Long COVID may extend beyond the lungs and brain. Our systematic review and meta-analysis suggests a possible genitourinary phenotype, including renal involvement and reproductive health alterations.

Long Covid is not a rare disease occurring in 1 in 9 adults after a Covid infection.
It has the same prevalence as Diabetes which has received $235 million from Gov Canada for research.
Based upon prevalence, Long Covid should receive the same funding."

Photo of indoor air filter used in a home in Imperial Beach. House is on the beach and nearly 3 miles from major freeway. This is after 4 months. Disgusting...but better trapped on this surface than your lungs? All homes should use filtration all the time. We filter our water before we drink it....
it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online
Can’t believe nobody wanted to read the articles nobody bothered to write
And here we are in the seventh year of Covid with the same IPC guidelines, the same gaslighting, and a nurse last week screaming at me down the phone that Covid isn’t airborne.
CATA has found via FoI requests that government bodies did not fully disclose vital evidence to COVID Inquiry. They ignored views of PHE that airborne precautions should have been available to all HCWs. WHY?
CATA (Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance) has today issued this press release ahead of next Thursday's publication of the Inquiry's module 3 report:

It’s Long Covid Awareness Day (which I think should be the Ides of March, for reasons that will become clear.)
Some of you have heard this before. But I wanted to share my Long Covid story, because I think you should hear it.
On my birthday in November 2022, I woke up with Covid.
your vote is rarely the single decisive vote
but sometimes it is! and you never know when that might be
@sueinnovates.bsky.social has started a call blitz to the Premier's office to voice objections.

Call Ford to say, "NO!" to his latest move to avoid accountability. I did and got right thru.
Ford ☎️ (staffed 24/7): 416 325-1941
Holy shit
I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions.
Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!

This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.
If it's sometimes hard to tell the difference between fossil-fuel lobbyists and the billionaire press, that's because there isn’t one.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and gas is six dollars a gallon. But at least now they’re not tearing down a statue of a Confederate general that I’ve never heard of in a city that I’ve never been to.
Was feeling discouraged about not making much progress in the fight to shift Covid policy 6 yrs in, but then a
family member called to say they put a HEPA filter in their office because of me
They were tired of being sick & knew there had to be a better way.
It's the small things ☺️
Link to HHS Long COVID website:
RFK Jr and HHS have launched a new website dedicated to Long COVID.
Please remain skeptical: They will offer more junk science than real solutions, and use this as another opportunity to spread misinformation about vaccines.
Real talk: Progressives have completely failed to adequately address the significant impacts of Long COVID, and this has left an opening for the far right to exploit vulnerable patients and deceitfully blame vaccines for all chronic illnesses.
i feel like if i was tasked with not starting a war and bringing back US manufacturing jobs, i could have done a better job than this
Yeah, man, it’s an absolute mystery why so many people are going all in on AI refusal. Maybe they absolutely do understand the ways in which AI is “useful” to the people hawking AI in the words of those very people.
Happy 6th anniversary to the time Sarah Palin sang Baby Got Back on the Masked Singer and then the show changed to Trump's address to the nation about COVID.
Our rural ERs closed regularly because staff are routinely off sick, and still we won't do the simplest no-brainer returns-on-investment (clean air in schools & hospitals) to bring down the levels of mass illness 6 years into a pandemic. It's the most mind-boggling stupidity I've ever witnessed.
can this be a solution?
