I've always worked really hard to protect myself and my family from COVID. I tried following public health recommendations for the first year, using cloth/surgical masks. We all caught COVID as a result.
Unfortunately, I've never recovered. Its been 5 long years.
I've learned a lot...
This!!!! I got covid for Christmas 2021 (despite only seeing 2 people during the holiday season), and ever since, I've had #LongCovid. It's 3 days from Christmas 2024, and it's still debilitating. I masked then and still do mask. Please - PLEASE - mask up when you're not feeling well!!
please mask and wash your hands and test if you don’t feel well. so many people are getting sick and getting others sick. stay home if you’re sick. exposing countless workers to illness so you can get your holiday shopping done or whatever is gross.

Remarkable how those reading the tea leaves can see the explosion of cases and costs, yet governments are mute.

☠️ Dead people don't shop
☠️ Sick people can't work

Covid has left behind many people, and it's still happening to this day. The forums of people with long Covid see new persons every week who have just developed the illness.

It could be anyone of us next. These cases are dramatic, but like every other illness, there are much milder ones.
Best thing that could come from this is to better educate doctors, so they understand what Long COVID is possibly how to diagnose/treat features of the disorder (no clear diagnostic/treatment yet).
They need to trust people & actually try to help.

The first feature-length documentary on ME/CFS & #LongCOVID, “What Doesn’t Kill You…” is crowd-funding.

I believe video and in particular documentaries can be a powerful way to get messages across & am impressed so far so have donated for a second time

For a few years, I studied sitar indirectly under Ustad (master) Shahid Parvez, IMHO the greatest living sitarist. (Not satirist.) This is my favourite of his performances, the raag "Malkauns", the shamanistic "midnight raag" meant to calm the raging god Shiva.

🎯 Yup. Ask Carney if AB's intent to allow MDs to bill the public & private system for health care violates the Canada Health Act &, if he believes it does, what he intends to do about it.

Lastly, if he thinks this is FINE, ask why he thinks that!

@davidwcochrane.bsky.social @althiaraj.bsky.social
Yup.

I want to hear him be asked a very direct question about this.

If you test positive for the human endogenous retrovirus-W envelope protein (HERV-W ENV), you'll need a monoclonal antibody or ART.

This study demonstrates that 58% of #LongCOVID condition patients showed detectable HERV-W ENV protein in their blood.

Covid is an airborne virus, handwashing does almost nothing to stop it, so we must take airborne-tailored precautions. This includes wearing an N95 mask or similar in public spaces, lobbying for better ventilation and air filtration, and simply staying home and/or testing when you may be sick.

I can attest to this.
COVID infection IS causing more vascular disability and death in once healthy people (young and old alike)

You are on the side of what's good and right.

Know that you aren't alone in documenting both the harms and the cover-up.
