Just joined BlueSky. If you’re wondering who I might be, what I’m up to & why I’ve followed you — it probably has something to do with #Covid, #LongCovid, #naturalBeauty #birds, #ClimateCatastrophe, #zen, #psychology, #silversmithing &/or #politics …mostly in that order. In the X cesspool, am👇🏼

I thought this headline was a joke when I first read it, but no…it's real.

I've signed a petition telling Ofgem to reject Musk's application to supply electricity to British households. Will you join me and add your name?

Long Covid Families @longcovidfam.bsky.social · Aug 5

We see officials saying #COVID cases are rising but healthy kids don’t need to worry. This study found reinfection doubles the risk of Long COVID in kids.

Sincerely, families who believed you when you said our kids weren’t at risk — and now they’re disabled.

COVID-19 re-infection doubles risk of long COVID in kids, young adults, data reveal

The second infection was also tied to a 50% or greater increase in several specific long-COVID conditions, including myocarditis and fatigue.

My first covid infection was Feb 2020; it wrecked my lungs. I masked up&continued to mask because I have lupus& my beloved is also an autoimmune sufferer. My rheumatologist’s nurse gave me my 2nd inf., when I was asked to remove my mask to check my mouth. How I wish I hadn’t! Pretty disabled now.

‘We might die because you won’t wear a mask’: A plea to health-care workers.

"Yes, it’s time to mask again. We need to do better. We know how to do better. We can save so many lives and preserve the dignity of patients in the process."

Too Long Covid @toolongcovid.bsky.social · Aug 7

I don't think Covid waves mean much anymore, since we've constantly got mutating strains of Covid in the community. Vaccines are lagging behind the variants. Masks protect against all variants and are 100% protection against Long Covid too.

So many reasons to wear an N95 or better equivalent both indoors and outdoors!

Avital & exciting book. And. One of the most beautifully, evocatively written pieces of non-fiction I’ve encountered.

I read the Secret Life of Plants; I was so disappointed, it took me a long time to try the subject again. So glad I did!

It takes a lot to really excite a 69yo. This. ⤵️

Is long covid an autoimmune disease?

When the pandemic first raged in 2020, & ‘long covid’ first emerged, I remember saying to myself, ‘this is like lupus! Gawd NO, if this virus gives people a lupus-like condition…no, no, no’. I had suffered with lupus for 25yrs at that time.

Just ran across this. In the ongoing discourse around what LC is, many people reject anything that isn’t ME/CFS.

But as we in this community know, LC takes many forms, attacking any & every part of the body. …/2
