Oh come on @samjnichols.bsky.social ABC News. When reporting on important health topics, you need to get the basic facts right.

The person you quote on droplet spread of covid and flu etc is dead wrong.

Today is Long COVID Awareness Day.

We recognise those living with LC and those caring for people with LC.

We must all provide support and join the call for research and a remedy for LC.

This Billboard was captured in Melbourne, Australia.

Even mainstream news magazines are starting to grasp the horrors of the #LongCovid issue.

When will the medical establishment and govts catch up?

Prof Jeffrey Townsend, Yale School of Public Health:

“Preventing this disease in anybody, no matter how healthy you are, is a really good thing.
... It’s not just a matter of feeling ill. It’s doing bad things to you that we can’t fully understand.”

Perth Childrens Hosp not on Bsky but:

Dec 24: NO air purifiers in ED, even as Dr mentions covid, flu, HPIVs rampant

WA Health has updated West Australia's C19 wastewater graph up to 13 Dec. A small levelling off of the wave.

In light of the recent PCR positivity rate + aged care data + Xmas gatherings upcoming, this may well be another short-lived downturn.

My story from the weekend on this important research. If you think COVID is just a cold, think again.
Chilling fact you need to know about COVID
A landmark study has found that the virus accumulates and persists in the body, especially the brain.

Australia: when getting updated JN.1 Cvd vaccine, ask to check the vial with your own eyes 👀

Awful, cautionary tale below! ⤵️
VAX WARNING.
My partner booked with Chemist Warehouse after checking they had JN1. Went there checked again with the person giving the vax. Then when she was given the receipt found that she had been given XBB!!!....2/

Good to see this critical information in msm:

“virus that causes COVID-19 accumulates & persists in the body - esp the brain - for years after infection.”

Inconvenient truth:

Just as every cigarette smoked increases the risk of lung cancer, every Covid infection increases the risk of serious, post-Covid health damage involving multiple bodily organs/systems.

Avoid Covid, not reality.
