For what it’s worth, according to the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) definition, this also counts as Long Covid—not just new symptoms but also worsened existing ones. If you have ever wondered if you’re part of the LC cohort.

I saw this screenshot going around, found this detail charming, looked more into the game (I've never played a Silent Hill) & decided to buy it. Btw these are the "unimportant" background assets AI idiots think AI should be used for

Screenshot of a Twitter post by Val / @shegoingtogloat - it's a Silent Hill screenshot showing a close up of a cork board. On it, a paper says "Welcome to Shorefront Family Clinic" in a classic wiggly 3D font style. The tweet text is: Is this a Silent Hill asset made using PowerPoint lol"

Also the more people that are masked in a space, the safer you (and they!) are to crack it open and take a sip or a bite and put it right back. There are masked kink parties advertised in my city that run fine ffs

What was this, the second time in a month that leftists gleefully joined in on a harassment campaign initiated by reactionaries against covid cautious people? Seems like that indicates a critical absence in awareness and analysis. Maybe y’all should fix that. And your hearts too.

it's not hyperbolic to say that if the ways you talk and think about disabled/sick people (as well as the COVID precautions we may take) are indistinguishable from how fascists talk about disabled/sick people—even down to the same statements—then you have a fucking problem.

“It’s possible, even likely, that one or more of the other explanations for longCovid’s pathology is … viral persistence leading to immune dysfunction, for example, which then prompts inflammation or interferes with mitochondria & causes cellular damage.” it’s hubris to think it won’t happen to you

Perhaps surprisingly, Peluso was initially skeptical that viral persistence could be a key characteristic of long Covid. "We're really trained to conceive of most pathogens as transient, especially RNA viruses like SARS-CoV-2," he told me. But when Peluso and his colleagues began analyzing tissue from LIINC participants, they were stunned to find the virus's RNA in the tissue of people with long Covid who were months or even years past their initial infection. "It was only when we started to see it in our own program that I began to realize that the truth might be more complicated than what the textbook said," he recalled.
"When you're looking at that slide in front of you, it's quite remarkable."
