To all the people staying silent in the face of 40 million Americans losing SNAP… shame on you. Speak up Being poor, disabled or homeless is not a moral failing These are minority groups you can join any time It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of We need support & solidarity

I always wonder if the synchronized rise of far-right ideology around the world & the comcomitant gaslighting into ignoring how far the Overton window is shifting are partially linked to this virus. I see cognitive issues in family members who've had it. www.infectioncontroltoday.com/view/underst...

Yes it is safe to wear a valves respirator as long it fits well (preferably fit tested) and the wearer isn't infected. If unsure re valve try a seal test

I don’t know what kind of leftist ideology they teach in engineering classes in Utah, but I was a women’s studies major at UC Santa Cruz and read Marx and took classes from Angela Davis and Bettina Aptheker, and I’ve never killed anyone.

A study found 29% of participants who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 developed Long COVID A combination of 3 antivirals helped improve Long COVID symptoms The FDA accepted the application of a potential oral therapy for the prevention of COVID-19 This week's #LongCOVID research: bit.ly/4gi1P7c
A color political map of Saudi Arabia is marked by the green Saudi Arabia flag. The text reads, "The Sick Times. Long Covid Research Updates. A study in Saudi Arabia found 29% of participants who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 developed Long COVID. A case series found a combination of three antivirals helped improve Long COVID symptoms. The FDA accepted the drug application of a potential oral therapy for the prevention of COVID-19."A medium sized study in Saudi Arabia found that 29% of participants who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 developed Long COVID. “This finding is consistent with the higher prevalence estimates reported globally and highlights the long-term burden of post-acute COVID-19 symptoms,” the authors of the study, published in BMC Infectious Diseases, wrote. The prospective cohort study included 816 participants who were followed up to for four years, after infections between March 2020 and March 2024. The researchers found that female sex, diabetes, reinfection, and hospitalization predicted Long COVID in their cohort.
In a small case series, a combination of three antivirals was effective in improving symptoms in participants with Long COVID, according to a new preprint shared in Research Square. Researchers found that 120 days of the antiviral drugs valacyclovir (Valtrex) and celecoxib (Celebrex), in addition to 15 days of the Paxlovid, was more effective than Valtrex and Celebrex alone, with benefits lasting up to 720 days. The case series included 27 people with Long COVID — and did not have a placebo group.  The small study “provides pilot evidence to support the need for a larger trial of combination antivirals for people living with [Long COVID],” the authors wrote.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted the drug application of a potential oral therapy for the prevention of COVID-19 following exposure, or post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). The antiviral drug ensitrelvir (Xocova) is made by the Japanese drug company Shionogi, and it was effective in preventing COVID-19 in a phase 3 trial called Scorpio-PEP. The FDA has set an “action date” of June 16, 2026, meaning it will likely approve or deny the drug application by that date.

👇 With public health poised to plumb the depths of anti-vaccine, anti-science nuttery with RFK Jr. etc. in charge, expect more denial of the link between Covid and blood clots, strokes, & heart disease, and rabid misinformation about vaccines. Vaccines reduce these risks (but can't eliminate them).

Nearly 70% are fearing covid, why they're not attending theater. Good & fair - but they need to be introduced to the N95 mask. Because I know looking around they aren't wearing one in other locations they go to... and they SHOULD be anywhere indoors. Of course. www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2024...

If you’re concerned about this, good! You should also be concerned that 1-2,000 people are dying every week from Covid! That more people still each year are also dying from Long Covid! If you truly want people to vote, you have to keep them alive by wearing a high-quality mask (like an N95)

Too many people think Covid is inevitable - so they’ve given up trying to prevent it. The compassion is IN the trying. The effort is the radical act. If you get covid - you will have done everything you could to break chains of transmission & protect others. That’s worth doing.

Reasons to wear an n95: 1) COVID never ended 2) Unmitigated pandemics are a tool used to harm marginalized people & you won’t participate 3) CDC is tweeting about avian flu symptoms to watch for 4) It’s a real bad time to risk illness & disability 5) It offends MAGA Get/give mask mutual aid:

Folks have been talking about it already, but I am going to beg you: put renewed focus on trying not to get COVID. Healthcare is already strained. They plan to make it worse. We know that the odds of getting long COVID increase with subsequent infections. And long COVID touches everything.
