GOOD NEWS! The German government has committed half a billion euros to research into long COVID and other post-infection syndromes. With 1 in 5 people affected by #LongCOVID, this is a no brainer! Hopefully good things will come from this. More research please!

The German government will invest €500 million over 10 years to study long COVID and post-infection diseases.
With at least 6% of COVID patients developing long COVID, researchers hope to uncover root causes and test targeted treatments.

The Archdiocese of Boston asked a Massachusetts parish to remove its nativity scene. The crèche featured the shepherds and the Wise Men, but no Holy Family — no Jesus, Mary, or Joseph. In their place is a sign that reads: “ICE WAS HERE.”

You know someone with Long COVID. They need you to ask about it genuinely. - The Sick Times
If community-building is a bulwark against autocracy, then asking after one another might be a good place to start.
