"When you have a disease with a huge range of severity across a population, focusing policy on average impacts is severely limited in its intelligence.

Swathes of severity are ignored. Inequity multiplies. Progress impeded. Complexity blurred. Risks for vulnerable explode."

Lauterbach lädt zu Long-Covid-Spitzentreffen ins Ministerium

Die Ampelkoalition will Long-Covid-Patienten helfen, doch Geld ist knapp. Für heute hat Bundesgesundheitsminister Lauterbach zu einem Runden Tisch eingeladen. Es gibt viel zu besprechen. Von Nadine Bader.

#Coronavirus #LongCovid #Lauterbach

#ABCovid Alleburgers werkt samen met internationale organisaties van experts bv World Health Network & John Snow Project. We volgen wetenschappelijke publicaties over #Covid19 en #LongCOVID op de voet, maar staan open voor nieuwe inzichten. Laten we de discussie voeren en ideeën over een goede aanpak uitwisselen.

Vragen over schone lucht, maskers, zelfbescherming en vaccins? Prima! Als we iets niet weten verwijzen we door.

Als we het oneens zijn zeggen we dat, maar we spelen niet op de man.

@DamienMarieAtHope I just read this morning about a medication they had in trials for long Covid that failed miserably. I’m so angry about all of this, we should not be disabling everyone for Biden’s economy this is insanity.

The medication that failed trials appeared to maybe help with fatigue and brain fog but it didn’t do anything for the #pain that comes with #LongCovid.

**PLEASE NOTE if you end up with chronic pain from long Covid you probably won’t get any pain medication. And even if you can find a doctor to give you pain medication, good luck finding some in the pharmacy. Every month I have to call around and find out who has pain pills so my doctor can send the there. It’s super stressful. You don’t want to disable yourself for Amerikkkan propaganda.

You can watch WHNs recent broadcast with Eric Feigl-Ding discussing the newer variants and current surge here:

I noticed he was also quoted in a recent CBS news article here:

@KagroX You’re welcome to use any #COVID image I’ve made already or as I said, I’m happy to make some specifically for you to help spread the info you gather to a wider audience. #CovidIsNotOver #LongCovid

In der aktuellen Folge der #LageDerNation (LdN347) wird über #Corona gesprochen. Der Tenor war "Impfung ist schon wichtig, aber sonst ist das nur noch eine Erkältung, keine Sorge vorm Herbst/Winter" und #PostCovid / #LongCovid wurde mit keinem Wort erwähnt.

Finde nur ich, weil betroffen, das deutlich verharmlosend?
Angesichts Forschung, die "At least 5–10% […] develop Long COVID" und "Recovery is extremely rare" beschreibt. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lanepe.2023.100724

J'ai pas les mots, là
C'est immonde.
Et ne vous inquiétez pas on va avoir la même chose bientôt, en France, à base de "il faut faire la chasse aux faux handicapés" "les contribuables en ont marre de payer pour les improductifs" "plein de handis peuvent faire du télétravail parce que la modernité"
Et bien sûr, aucun lien avec une pandémie en cours qui fait que de plus en plus de gens sont invalides. Aucun.

Sobald sich die Menschen wieder von draussen nach drinnen begeben, werde ich wieder #Maske tragen.
In allen Öffis, beim Einkaufen, beim Arzt, überall da wo Menschen sind.

Und es ist mir absolut shiceegal, ob das wen stört oder was das mit dem macht.

Kein Bock auf #LongCovid.

So.

@Rebellyon Yeeeeeaaaahhhh sans aucune mention d'autodéfense sanitaire ça semble présager une excellente boum-cluster de la propagation du COVID, le Planning Familial de Lyon ! 😣

I wrote about how #disability #chronicIllness #longcovid #mecfs has impacted my capacity to maintain a true daily list of "non-negotiables" and how this concept relates to our understanding of #interdependence :
https://mersontheperson.micro.blog/2023/09/07/nonnegotiables.html

1. viral clearance has never been demonstrated with SARS-CoV-2
2. evidence of asymptomatic persistence has been demonstrated both in vivo and post-mortem
3. persistence is the rule, not the exception
4. reservoirs enable a subclinical form of long covid, which progresses toward a clinical form through various mechanisms, including the exhaustion of T cells and the reseeding of reservoirs upon reinfection

Friendly Reminder

to give friendly reminders to friends and family who might not stay up on the news

who may mask but have gotten lax the past few months

who you can give just one little "Oh hey we're in a surge, please be safe"

without nagging or yelling or

*flailing Kermit arms*

Stay Safe!!

Okay all -- It's early days for figuring out how to help people with
Long COVID.

That said, a bit of promising research is starting to surface.

I'm taking the unusual step of emailing EVERYONE because at this point
many of you with anxiety and depression symptoms may have some Long
COVID (brain fog, sleep issues, the depression or anxiety itself!).

A good write-up about what Long COVID is can be found here.  Yes, you
can had a trivial case of COVID-19 and still get Long COVID symptoms for
days, weeks, months, or years.  Some cases of it are somewhat "mild":
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/long-term-effects/index.html

*The bottom-line of the video is right at the end.  For long COVID:
-- Get outside one hour per day.
-- May cover up if sensitive to sun (near UV rays will get through
clothing anyway)
-- Best if in nature (surrounded by green)
-- Do not look directly at sun (duh)
-- May wear a hat (near UV rays will get through clothing anyway)
-- Sitting in a sunny window no longer good enough (most glass now has
to be certified to block the rays we want)

He also promises to talk about how intermittent fasting may help in a
future video.

Roger Seheult, MD is the co-founder and lead professor at
https://www.medcram.com/
He is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Disease, Critical
Care, and Sleep Medicine and an Associate Professor at the University of
California, Riverside School of Medicine.  He is also an ER doctor.

Before the pandemic, MedCram mainly seemed to be training for doctors to
pass exams.  Since the start of COVID, Dr. Seheult has done occasional
more accessible videos for the general public on COVID-related topics.

To actually understand why something this simple may help -- and listen
to some research, please watch:

My brain has been swabbed, and turned my mini headache into a raging one. Small price to pay though, for proof. Can't access much help without it. #CovidIsNotOver #COVIDisAirborne #longcovid #disability #gatekeepers

The #CDC is open for comments regarding their decision to limit who can get the next #COVID #booster. go here to tell the CDC everyone should have access to all boosters!

Right now there are only

TWO (2) COMMENTS

The CDC is taking comments on a National Wastewater Surveillance System for SARSVOV2.

I think some people here might have a comment about that.

I just found this. It's not too late

@StillIRise1963 @Danetteb Almost a 20% increase in heart attacks among people 45 - 65 since COVID began. #CovidIsNotOver #LongCovid

"However, the updated booster is not intended for everyone. It’s for people in high-risk groups – those who are age 75 or older, pregnant or immunocompromised, said Offit, who serves on the FDA’s expert panel that reviewed the vaccine companies’ data.

[...] The general public should not expect to need to receive the latest COVID booster, Offit said."
