Renewed all our library books just now. So glad I can do this from home these days. We will not make it in before some of them are due. So this is convenient. Go borrow a book from the lobrary! Or an audio book, or a cd, dvd, magazine, whatever. SUPPORT YOUR LIBRARY! ❤️

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

Long COVID is rapidly evolving into a major chronic disease burden in the United States. This excellent report projects that by the end of 2025, approximately 13% of the adult population—will have experienced Long COVID. davidlingenfelter.substack.com/p/the-projec...
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 
August 6, 2025
📢 New Forecast Projects 33 Million Americans Will Be Affected by Long COVID by End of 2025
El Cerrito, CA — A new strategic analysis by David Lingenfelter, PhD, published on Substack, warns that Long COVID is rapidly evolving into a major chronic disease burden in the United States. The report projects that by the end of 2025, approximately 32.8 million Americans—or 12.6% of the adult population—will have experienced Long COVID, with cumulative estimates ranging from 27.8 to 39.5 million.
The findings underscore the urgent need for a coordinated national response. Despite declining per-infection risk due to vaccination and variant evolution, the sheer volume of ongoing SARS-CoV-2 transmission and reinfections continues to fuel new cases.
Key Findings:
•	Disability Impact: ~25% of Long COVID patients report severe activity limitations.
•	Economic Toll: Annual societal costs estimated between $2.0–$6.5 billion, primarily from lost productivity.
•	Healthcare Strain: No validated treatments; demand for multidisciplinary care is rising.
•	Disparities: Black and Hispanic communities face higher burden but lower diagnosis rates.
Strategic Recommendations:
1.	Surveillance: Establish permanent, equity-focused national tracking systems.
2.	Research: Accelerate clinical trials and biomarker development.
3.	Public Health Messaging: Reframe vaccination as Long COVID prevention.
4.	Clinical Infrastructure: Standardize care and expand multidisciplinary centers.
5.	Socioeconomic Support: Improve access to disability benefits and workplace accommodations.
“This is not just a lingering symptom—it’s a systemic challenge,” said Dr. Lingenfelter. “We must treat Long COVID as a chronic condition with wide-reaching implications for public health, healthcare delivery, and economic resilience.”

A World-Changing Vaccination Campaign, in Photos
In 1952, its peak year in the U.S., polio outbreaks left nearly 21,000 victims paralyzed and 3,000 dead. After the country introduced a vaccine, which became widely available in 1955, cases in the U.S. dropped to fewer than 100 per year within a decade.

Chagas disease, long considered only a threat abroad, is established in California and the Southern U.S.
Chagas disease is deadly, pervasive and more prevalent in the U.S. than you'd think. It's not just brought here by people from nations where the disease is endemic, but by bloodsucking kissing bugs native to the U.S. And it may be sickening far more people than we know.
