I am hopeful that some of these trials will yield treatment options for patients with long COVID.

A home combo test was able to identify a family member's case of Influenza A, and they were able to get a Tamiflu Rx early. Check that "cold" early to see if it's more than that!

This is exactly how I feel. It's a moment to practice radical kindness.

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration. Big mistake. Huge.

Just came back from a work trip to Asia. I love how many masked people were in Tokyo, and to a lesser extent Seoul. Half the people on the train in Tokyo were masked. Back home, I only saw two other masked families out today in Minneapolis even with the COVID / flu / RSV going around.

"Dr. Vernon and her team determined that new incidence cases of ME/CFS were 15 times higher than pre-pandemic levels. These findings provide additional evidence that infections, including those caused by SARS-CoV-2, can lead to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS)." #MECFS #LongCovid

For those not familiar with ME/CFS, this is a good intro overview. There are also very good more detailed accounts and research, but this is a nice digestible high-level intro summary we shared with extended family members who thought having long covid just meant a loss of taste or smell.

Covid infection can cause lasting cognitive impairment, memory issues, clinical anxiety and depression, obsessive behaviour, brain fog, PTSD-like symptoms, insomnia, increased risk of psychosis, mood swings, heightened stress responses. And that's just a taste. Wear a mask.

Hopefully some of these options will help people with ME/CFS-related mitochondrial disfunction.

PSA: 🚨 DO NOT TAKE YOUR MASK OFF INDOORS, even if there is no one else around.🚨 The virus persists in the air for HOURS because #CovidIsAirborne Only take your mask off outdoors, and preferably use an N95 mask. Important potentially lifesaving thread. Please RT. 1/n

Don't remove your mask indoors. Aerosols < 5 micrometers can persist in the air for hours.
