Sunday in Senate
Democrats had gained momentum winning state & local elections. Two days later, they caved by voting with Republicans to get rid of healthcare for millions.
Now tens of thousands of Americans of all stripes, will die, because that’s what happens when you take away healthcare.

The Breaking Point: Snow is Sliding Off The Long Covid Roof
As a kid, probably in 1971, we lived next to a golf course in Ogden, Utah. It had 18 holes, a driving range, but my favorite part was the mini golf course. (1/23)

The More You Get Infected, the More Likely You’ll Get Long COVID
People still think long COVID is rare. Like it only happens to anxious people. Or people who “did it wrong.” Like there’s some moral math to this. If you got sick, it’s because you panicked too much. (1/18)

I've been active in the last few years in the Long COVID community. There is a very new risk to our children.
This is a serious risk. The unexpected arrival of the FS Tourville, a French nuclear-powered attack submarine, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, raises serious geopolitical (1/9)

Erasing the Warnings, Erasing the Future: Why Health Information Must Stay on Government Websites

The Survivorship Bias That’s Killing Us: Long COVID and the Myth of “Moving On”
It’s easy to believe everything is fine when you only see the survivors. The people who didn’t die, who seem to be “back to normal,” are the faces we focus on. But what about the ones you don’t see? (1/11)

The Heart of a Friend, Quentin: After COVID-19
I wanted to share a story about Quentin. A few winters, before the floods took the Lyndonville Diner, he stood outside, holding a cup of hot coffee. He had this way of flat-palming the cup, so it wouldn’t burn his hand. (1/18)

Seriously, we need a much more effective SARS-COV-2 antivirals and monoclonal antibodies!

SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is proven to cause a range of neurological complications, some of which are linked to vascular and microvascular damage in the brain.
For me, vascular damage to anything is probably the scariest of all the things COVID-19 can cause. (1/20)
