Mounting research shows that COVID-19 leaves its mark on the brain, including significant drops in IQ scores
Two new high-profile studies add to the increasingly worrisome picture of how even mild cases of COVID-19 can have detrimental effects on brain health.

So WHY does it still fail to tell people that it is airborne & providing good air flows & N95 are the best methods to prevent transmission.

Why doesn't it tell them there is a new vaccine coming on Dec 09 and it should be used in preference to existing vaccines.

This is a missed opportunity.

Seeing images and photos without alt text. Come on folks - we can do better than that. It's a minute (if that) of extra time to make your post more accessible.

Disabled people have been warning the world about what was going to happen for ages.

But nobody wants to listen to us.

Much like Cassandra, we know the future because we have seen the ugliness ourselves, but nobody understands they need to be listening.

If your treatment plan doesn’t actually help severe patients improve, your plan is wrong, not the patients.

Wow.
It's actually a great article on what Covid can do to your skin.

I know people with examples of all five of these during or post-covid rashes:

Many long COVID patients adjust to slim recovery odds as world moves on.

"The best window for recovery is in the first 6 months after getting COVID-19... People whose symptoms last between 6 months and 2 years are less likely to fully recover"

There’s a lot of great Covid related starter packs out there - but here’s one more!

We’re seeing unprecedented growth here at the friendly skies - and I want to help connect as many people as possible.

Looking for clean air, covid cautious mask advocates to join the pack!

In case you are wondering if we will ever have another economic shut down…

Oseltamivir is the major antiviral stockpile… and we could be messing with a novel resistant virus.

(No, you don’t need a government to enact it.)

Just to let you know, the studies the UK gov used to develop lack of masking policies in healthcare when omicron emerged actually show that around 33% of transmission occurs when there are no symptoms.

33%.

Please wear a respirator even if you feel well.

Masking, air filtration, far-uvc are part of a system. Be wary of tests of individual components, be sure that they are testing the parts of the system they are designed to combat. Testing an engine or a gearbox or a set of wheels to see how well they function as a car, isn't a fantastic test.

When you’re chronically ill - your baseline is everything. You will protect it at all costs.

Non disabled people can’t understand how much independence and autonomy means to us. Whatever small amount we have left - is priceless.

That’s why we don’t take necessary risks. We know what’s at stake.

I feel like I am a character in a dystopian movie. We have a big chance of facing soon a pandemic with a virus that scientists know is highly neuroinvasive. H5Nx viruses like #H5N1 were already found in all the regions in the brain below. Where are the vaccines, bloody hell?!?!

I’m having friends ask me for advice on mitigation.

They are fed up with ongoing sickness.

If anyone wants to say mycoplasma pneumonia outbreaks are due to immunity debt, they better have the surveillance swabs to prove it.

Because mycoplasma is carried without symptoms by about 21% of kids.

It makes them sick when something else weakens them.

Like… a virus. 🤨
