I can't stress enough that you should take every opportunity that comes your way to support your local public libraries. Many of them are currently struggling and are being DEFUNDED. Local action matters on this front. Don't sit back until those libraries are gone before taking ACTION.

Starting metformin within 6 days of COVID was linked to half the long COVID risk compared with patients given other meds (fluvoxamine, fluticasone, ivermectin, montelukast): 4.0% vs 8.5% (aRR 0.47). Small study, but aligns with #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky #IDSky #SciSky 1/2
