In #Australia and have #LongCovid and need healthcare that your GP isn't offering? Put yourself on the waitlist for Clinic Nineteen, and then get a simple referral from your GP closer to when you're accepted (current wait: 3-6 months).

Appointments are all telehealth. Initial appointment is $110 out of pocket (which is what I just had to pay for a GP out of pocket anyway), unclear about subsequent.

I don't know anything else about the clinic, have just put myself on the wait list, but making sure people know there are still services. #Covid19 #healthcare

so, Island Health has apparently been trying to contact us for urgent tests, but Gmail is flagging emails from them as Spam and Suspicious - go figure that tech is against public health

Never heard of paravirus 'parainfluenza' - but that is what we have, and they want more from us.... and a good friend who is an infectious disease NP is like WTAF!!!

Today is international #LongCovid Awareness Day

Check this canadian interview with a Mount Sinai (NY) chronic disease specialist. Up to one in five people with COVID-19 develop LONG COVID, meaning three months after having the disease they still do not recover their full abilities.

The specialist affirms that each reinfection, even moderate, of COVID-19 subtracts between 2-6% of IQ.

LONG COVID is a disease that causes systemic damage, especially to the immune system, causing T-cell exhaustion and triggering latent diseases or exposing the body to new pathogens from which it would have been able to defend itself before. Worth a listen:

Wife is entering week 4, I'm in week 3 of an 'unknown' virus that truly feels like a combination of noro and Covid. Reduced lung function, no appetite, incredible fatigue

She was tested for everything at ER with no conclusion. Now friends reporting they have this and are cancelling Spring Break trips.

Stay masked, stay safe - public health is asleep

Thanks everyone who boosted my #FarUVC workshop on here!!!

Workshop was so rad 🥲 I'm so grateful for the spaces like this that we create for learning together!

I will be presenting again next month, probably on a weeknight, for those who couldn't make it today.

You can sign up for updates and give time/day preferences here: skillshares.fan-club.cc/

Apologies for confusion with my barebones flyer also! I am in the eastern time zone and my workshops are usually virtual. If I do them irl they'll probably be in/around Massachusetts 💛

***I am also open to presenting to yr group/org/etc - I have an additional workshop on safe(r) shows and events that I've presented 4(ish?) times I addition to this far-uvc workshop.

This is all free, low key, interactive.

Let's keep expanding our knowledge and gathering together more safely!

I had to unfollow an account that I used to trust for #COVID19 info. It said the current level of COVID in wastewater is “unprecedented.”

COVID is bad enough without inflating risks. No one will listen to us when COVID risks are high if we say silly things like this when COVID is actually low (in aggregate) in the US.

I get it. COVID risks never disappear, but the accounts addicted to spreading fear rather than knowledge need to be rejected, IMO.

This week, #Barbados’s Prime Minister Mia Mottley gave a fiery address to parliament, calling the US stance “unfair and unjustified”.

“We could not get through the pandemic without the Cuban nurses and the Cuban doctors,” she said.

Trinidad and Tobago’s prime minister, Keith Rowley, warned that US interference in #Caribbean healthcare decisions was unacceptable.

Caribbean leaders have hit back at a threat issued by the United States government to cancel visas for anyone working with or supporting Cuban medical facilities, citing allegations of forced labour and claiming these missions “enrich the Cuban regime”.

Cuban medical missions, which provide doctors, nurses and other medical staff as well as medical facilities, are critical to healthcare systems in the Caribbean.
