99% of "breakthroughs" tend to be hyperbolic bids for more grant money. This, however, looks like it might be the real thing. Few degenerative diseases are as vicious as ALS. If science can beat that, it can beat anything.

Living with Long COVID often feels like living in a horror movie. Along with your disease comes a creepy Hive Mind refusal to acknowledge the dangers of COVID infection. In Vince Gilligan's new Apple TV show Pluribus, the Hive Mind comes to life:
