Mounting research shows that COVID-19 leaves its mark on the brain, including significant drops in IQ scores
Two new high-profile studies add to the increasingly worrisome picture of how even mild cases of COVID-19 can have detrimental effects on brain health.

Maybe we need to write in response to this and ask them to start mentioning masks and airborne transmission. This is getting ridiculous.

So WHY does it still fail to tell people that it is airborne & providing good air flows & N95 are the best methods to prevent transmission. Why doesn't it tell them there is a new vaccine coming on Dec 09 and it should be used in preference to existing vaccines. This is a missed opportunity.

Disabled people have been warning the world about what was going to happen for ages. But nobody wants to listen to us. Much like Cassandra, we know the future because we have seen the ugliness ourselves, but nobody understands they need to be listening.

When my mum was staying in one, we were required to test, but she could come and go as she pleased and not test. How are we not just testing EVERYONE at this point. Why do we treat this virus like it can discern our actions, our feelings or where or who we live with? Money. The answer is money.

In case you are wondering if we will ever have another economic shut down… Oseltamivir is the major antiviral stockpile… and we could be messing with a novel resistant virus. (No, you don’t need a government to enact it.)

Just to let you know, the studies the UK gov used to develop lack of masking policies in healthcare when omicron emerged actually show that around 33% of transmission occurs when there are no symptoms. 33%. Please wear a respirator even if you feel well.

Masking, air filtration, far-uvc are part of a system. Be wary of tests of individual components, be sure that they are testing the parts of the system they are designed to combat. Testing an engine or a gearbox or a set of wheels to see how well they function as a car, isn't a fantastic test.

When you’re chronically ill - your baseline is everything. You will protect it at all costs. Non disabled people can’t understand how much independence and autonomy means to us. Whatever small amount we have left - is priceless. That’s why we don’t take necessary risks. We know what’s at stake.

I feel like I am a character in a dystopian movie. We have a big chance of facing soon a pandemic with a virus that scientists know is highly neuroinvasive. H5Nx viruses like #H5N1 were already found in all the regions in the brain below. Where are the vaccines, bloody hell?!?!

They’re so quick to write off the one negative test in that thread. It’s like it’s a free pass to “get on with it.” So many test positive on the 4th/5th/6th day. So important to keep testing! How come people don’t understand viral load yet? 😣

Why not teach kids to discern facts from fiction? Critical literacy? It was a thing 10 years ago in schools. Wouldn’t that be more useful for their future rather than just not knowing? It would be like not being allowed sugar most of your childhood and then being unsupervised at a birthday party…
