"Post Covid Syndrome and Cognitive Dysfunction – Aetiology and Possible Treatment" - I think figure 1, the arrows going towards "cognitive dysfunction" should be bidirectional - but otherwise, yet another lay of the land paper implicitly but strongly suggesting that there is a pressing need for research focus on LC and ME/CFS treatments: cdn.fortunejournals.com/articl

"Those of us who want to take any extra steps to protect ourselves have been largely abandoned. Wearing masks in crowded spaces is rare, mocked, and in some cases even banned. Any kinds of commonsense precaution like air filtration have been shoved on the back burner or worse. The vulnerable are on their own—and there’s little reason to believe that our ranks won’t grow."

Still mourning what could have been, while everyone mocks me for my caution.

Frust total: nach 3Jahren Krankheit und 16 Monaten Wartezeit endlich ein Termin in der #PostCovid Ambulanz der Uniklinik. Ergebnis: eine der Ärztinnen weiß jetzt mehr über OffLabel Medikamente. Keine meiner Fragen zu Erfahrungen mit Reha, Therapieversuchen etc konnte beantwortet werden. Ich hab ja keine Wunder erwartet, aber schon ein bisschen Sachkenntnis.

Labour are brutally gutting diability benefits while allowing many more to become disabled.

Research shows that roughly 1 in 10 people in UK have Long Covid, with many more to follow.

Each infection carries risk, not only for LC but many other sequelae.

Covid is an *ongoing* mass disabling event.

The Guardian · Long Covid is the pandemic’s dark shadow. Why does no one in power in Britain want to talk about it?By Frances Ryan

@ProtectTheKids Die Kinder und Jugendlichen, die jetzt unter vielfältigen #PostCovid oder #LongCovid leiden, werden nach wie vor verschwiegen, um das Märchen "Covid ist für Kinder harmlos" nicht zu stören.

Die Pandemie hat sicher viele Kinder in vielen Dimensionen komplex betroffen. Alles auf die kurze Zeit des remote Lernens zu reduzieren ist einfach lächerlich .

Bequeme Lügen haben seither gute Konjunktur. Nicht nur bei der Covidaufarbeitung.

#Covid19 hospital acquired infections still a major problem, yet precautions are not protecting vulnerable patients.

"We seem to ignore the people at the centre of this. We're dealing with people losing their lives. [The proposal] might benefit the system, but what harm are we causing to patients?"

Mask bans already exist in certain States and counties.

Vance spearheaded a federal ban on mask mandates.

Organizing to codify the right to wear medical masks and respirators is (sadly) needed.

Masking is community care and resistance.

Illinois attempting to codify right to mask into law:

About 5 years ago (see image below, saved this tweet before I deleted my account) I asked whether COVID would cause more ME/CFS cases and whether anyone was going to study this issue. And I was not the only person asking this!

We now have a study showing that this is indeed what happens 😢

Among participants infected with SARS-CoV-2 the incidence of ME/CFS is 15 times higher than pre-pandemic rates.
