Long COVID IS REAL.
Long COVID and its affect on those who catch it need to be studied.
This is why, even now, I’ve never succumbed to hubris regarding the dangers of Covid. We REALLY want it to be “just a cold,” but it’s not a cold. It’s neurological, and it’s stealthier than us. Those who have friends with “long Covid” know it’s no joke: https://t.co/Lv23uBQKtd

Doctors at a Florida hospital have been sent death threats because of the institution's #Covid policies. The threats—some emanating from out of state— targeted hospital staff over allegations of corruption during the pandemic. Police are investigating https://t.co/G4AbeaF9fH

Lying helped spread #Covid: Some parents in the United States were dishonest about their children's #Covid status & were misleading about testing & quarantine https://t.co/2XQjKrbh3l

Study of #LongCovid cases finds about "half of the participants reported symptoms of varying severity 1 year after #COVID19…included fatigue, dyspnea, alopecia, concentration problems, memory problems, sleeplessness, and joint pain…" ETC.https://t.co/mlpi6Yvggt

Very good news
Metformin significantly helped prevent #LongCovid in a placebo-controlled randomized trial, a 42% relative reduction https://t.co/go20dm3NnN by @BramanteCarolyn

A #Covid antiviral pill in Japan is the 1st to cut short positive-test time after infection. The drug is ensitrelvir & it isn't approved in the US. It shortens symptoms in people w/ mild Covid & may even reduce risks of #LongCovid—but more data are needed https://t.co/EOWebdjrNP

It is still the best advice to avoid getting infected or as few times as possible. This is not entirely possible by individual measures but needs structural changes & implementation of health protection measures (indoor air quality, sick leave, access to testing, sometimes masks)

This is key progress in the largest & most complex vaccine roll-out in history but increasing demand & uptake is vital. @Gavi @WHO & @UNICEF will continue to provide support, incl through the #COVID19 Vaccine Delivery Partnership, to help countries protect those at highest risk.

Much more than a single health issue, COVID-19 has set back human development like nothing else in many decades. This 2020/21 decline in life expectancy continues through 2022/23. It is unlikely to end itself any time soon. What happens next is up to us. pic.twitter.com/C5ygJOhaOB

No word from the White House/@US_FDA about whether older Americans will be offered another #Covid booster before next fall.
When I interviewed him in Oct., FDA vaccines chief Peter Marks said he worried another booster might be needed. https://t.co/xrSr1dCXJc https://t.co/XrDMesvAN6— Helen Branswell 🇨🇦 (@HelenBranswell) March 7, 2023
This: "84.2% of #COVID19 survivors in a Swedish cohort reported persistent symptoms affecting daily life 2 yrs after hospital release.
Cognitive & sensorimotor symptoms and fatigue were the most common lingering symptoms…"https://t.co/upDThShWpu— Laurie Garrett (@Laurie_Garrett) March 7, 2023
With the NY Supreme Court letting that second company’s lawsuit against Fox go forward, I see the same kinds of things will be found during discovery. I don’t give a crap how much sway the Murdoch family has over that company, if you cost a company 4.3 BILLION, and that’s just the basic damages their asking for, not any additional damages that the judge can give…
Somebody’s gotta be the patsy for that. Someone’s gotta be held responsible for that. And, I mean, some of the ON-AIR TALENT.

That is a good point. Anytime Biden misspeaks the media claims he has dementia and needs to step down for Young Bernie or Spry Liz but McTurtle needs rehab and there’s no concerns about his fitness.

Karens are more upset by Angela Bassett’s reaction than that article with the racist Academy member.
Most black people come to the realization no matter what you do, how you look or how you act it will never be enough.
Angela Bassett is at that point.

I generally look at the list of Oscar nominees and the winners, but that’s the extent of the time I’m willing to give the Oscars.
They get it wrong so often, so many good films and actors and directors etc… are overlooked (and so much mediocrity is rewarded) that their opinions are no more valid than anyone else’s.
But I guess it’s a big deal to actors. Anyhow, Angela Bassett should have won Best Actress in 1994 for What’s Love Got To Do With It.
I agree

So what black Greeks need to do boycott Florida.
No Disney World.
No conventions.
No vacations.
Only things these fools understand is money.

I watch all these DOCTOR matching videos. What happens to doctors who don’t match? And considering that, as a country, we are running short on doctors, why are we not matching these folks? I wondered how many didn’t get matched, and I got somewhere in the vicinity of 3-4,000. We got 3-4000 doctors that we can throw away? We need all the doctors we can get.
Good Morning, Everyone😊😊😊
