"Being Covid-conscious is more than precautions and research. It’s grieving losses no one else will acknowledge, enduring mockery, protecting people who resent you, showing up for community the world says doesn’t matter, and fighting for a future others already declared lost."

It’s not that I think everything is about COVID, but COVID keeps getting ignored — even though it’s still a major health issue in an ongoing pandemic.

"Memory Lapses in Your 30s? The Brain Fog Epidemic Linked To Overstimulation"

Dr Kumar concluded, "Memory lapses in your 30s aren't a personal failing; they're a modern epidemic. When your brain is constantly 'on,' it forgets how to slow down and store information."

"Don't let your Thanksgiving dinner become a super-spreader event"

COVID isn’t over. Symptoms can overlap with flu. With free tests gone and vaccination rates low — only 6% of kids and 14% of adults are up to date — keep rapid tests on hand, especially if you’re ill or traveling for Thanksgiving.

Peter Swenson, a Yale professor and one of about 20 million Americans with long COVID, says calling chronic illness a “journey” needs to stop. He feels “pinned down by it, stuck with it,” calling it a “bad trip” with fatigue, brain fog, dysautonomia and heart problems.

People who recovered from mild–moderate COVID-19 still show persistent lung and vascular inflammation. This ongoing inflammatory response suggests COVID can have systemic, long-term effects that may raise cardiovascular (CV) risk even after symptoms improve.

Researchers have found the virus’s spike protein can switch between solid and liquid-like states, making it harder for vaccine-generated antibodies to block the virus. They say this phase change may weaken vaccines and help the virus evolve into new variants.

Yep, this!

High-quality masking slows transmission because the virus has fewer hosts to jump to for viral replication. It’s basic science, but people forget how effective it still is.
