Why did I pass out after I float on my back in the pool during aqua therapy? Which organ system is the root cause? What is the specialist I need to see? 😫😭 #LongCOVID is an endless struggle.

🐤 We know children are high risk for #LongCOVID especially from repeatedly getting infected. Yet, classrooms do not follow IAQ standard that keeps them safer from viral infections. Some people resist masking even for source control. Norah is a rare and precious hero today!
“I embraced my duckbill N95 identity at school and I credit my N95s, along with vaccinations and air purifiers, with helping me stay healthy!” —Norah Mason teaches special education in a 500-plus person elementary school.

One of the rare masked people at the airport, and probably the only one on the flight to #ASTMH meeting. I can’t understand people. #MaskUp Protect others as well as yourself

When asked by Stephen Colbert why he was wearing a mask in public, Tom Hanks said..

“I’ve had Covid enough in my life I don’t need to do that again. I’m wearing this for health reasons”

More celebrities need to speak out like this.

We are living in a HORRIFYING reality. People are ignoring the facts that our organs are getting damaged and people are getting heart attack and stroke from COVID-19 and the flu! We need prevention. Please wear a fitting high filtration mask, especially if you have symptoms. Protect each other!
Cardiac Long Flu and Cardiac Long COVID are common! Independent peer-reviewed research found that Flu and COVlD raise the risk of heart attack or stroke at least three-fold compared to people without a documented respiratory infection! @americanheart.bsky.social
