Women are 3x times more likely to develop long COVID.
Researchers found gut leakiness, inflammation, anemia, and hormone imbalances in women with long COVID (including lower testosterone and cortisol). These factors may help explain why long COVID affects women more.

Great @yarrabike.bsky.social radio episode on @3crmelbourne.bsky.social. Shows how important the Streets People Love campaign is. Pushing for livable streets that include bike infrastructure is going to get more general support than solely pushing bikes. Also probably gets more pleasant bike routes.
