In our latest, we discuss a recent paper by Vinay Prasad & co. attempting to pre-limit the boundaries of what is and isn’t a valid long covid diagnosis—claiming existing studies “overstate” prevalence of long covid, leading to “increased social anxiety”

This is so important. It’s an issue that is deeply important to me as a trans woman of color who has experienced homelessness.

Now that I’m not in that place, I try always to look out for people who still are.

In fact it’s important to film police in all interactions.

In Scotland, hundreds of hospital wards have been forced to close due to COVID outbreaks in the first seven months of this year. They ended testing last year and ended their mask mandate earlier this year. Pretending COVID is over equals constant disruption.

It's a travesty that the Korean War is known as "the forgotten war"—US involvement was nothing short of genocidal. Even after dividing Korea and separating 10 million families, the US imposes a travel ban today preventing 100k Koreans in US from visiting their families in DPRK.

I can’t recommend this episode enough to understand the unfolding disaster of Medicaid “unwinding”. Reporting shows 32,000 have already been disenrolled. Roughly the same percentage are “administrative” but with an even higher proportion of children at 50%. missouriindependent.com/2023/07/27/k...

“many people who had mild or asymptomatic infections at home never received an official diagnosis... Yet some of these people went on to develop post-viral syndrome symptoms that were consistent with those of Covid-19 long haulers” #LongCovid www.statnews.com/2023/08/23/l...
New study suggests people who tested negative for Covid-19 can still develop long Covid
“We estimated that there were approximately 10 million people in the first year of the pandemic in the US who are in this predicament: who got Covid, got long Covid, but tested negative for Covid."
