There's a very strong tendency to believe that the medical system has answers for the ailments that you or your loved ones will inevitably develop. Unfortunately, it's not true. The sooner we internalize that, the sooner we fix biotech.

Fun polio fact: it is asymptomatic in 70% of cases. In 29.5% of the cases symptoms do appear, they are gastrointestinal distress, normal enterovirus stuff. Polio only displays neurological symptoms in 0.5% of cases. You don't remember polio, you only remember *longpolio*

Unless we hold reviewers and ACs accountable, especially ACs in this case, the acceptance of a paper will be determined by whether your paper got active or inactive reviewers/ac. This is even worse and more frustrating than the usual reviewer quality lottery.

Why long COVID may simply be 'long infection'. It is very important to make the message simple and optimistic: it seems that some people have long SARS-CoV-2 infections. We now know what we need to do. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
