COVID informed, climate action advocate, live with adorable cat & more guinea pigs than I want (adopt don’t shop), pro accepting others as they are #RightToLove. All that kind of thing. It's fine not to follow back. No, I can’t give you money.

The highest rate on record.

It staggers me that no-one in public health seems to be acknowledging that immune dysregulation caused by prior SARS-CoV-2 infection is likely a significant factor in this, and the implications of this concept going forward.

For 18 months, I had to keep the secret that I didn't just voice The Flying Dutchman in the SpongeBob movie, but I also played him in live-action sequences. The hours it took flew by thanks to superb makeup artists Gage Munster & Marcel Banks who were both so kind AND hilarious. 🤣 Thanks fellas! 🙏

“I would swim three mornings a week before going to the office. I was running 40 km. I was traveling every second week. Now I leave my house only every 2-3 months… I was where I was supposed to be [with COVID vaccination]. I was in good health. I wasn’t depressed; I wasn’t anxious.”

If you're wondering how the medical community can ignore a disease that causes all of the damage laid out in the thread below, take note of the fact that continuing medical education processes are so outdated and ineffectual that many can't even recognize #longCOVID when they get it themselves.

Olomunyak means 'the lucky one' – and he earned it.

He survived lions in the Mara as a tiny calf. Arrived at the Nursery skin and bones. By June, the transformation was remarkable – weight returning, strength rebuilding, curiosity awakening.

Now he's the one comforting others.

You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.
A morbidly inclined sheep, who likes to hang around in graveyards, detests parties and owns original pressings of the entire classic run of Leonard Cohen LPs from 1967-1974.

From Sweden:

SARS-CoV-2 Infection Is Associated With an Increased Risk of Hospital-Treated Infectious Mononucleosis due to EBV: National Register-Based Cohort Study

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Screenshot from latest Science for ME weekly update

#LongCovid #PASC
SARS-CoV-2 Infection Is Associated With an Increased Risk of Hospital-Treated Infectious Mononucleosis due to EBV: National Register-Based Cohort Study — Snieguole Vingeliene et al. "In this national study, SARS‐CoV‐2 infection was notably associated with an increased risk for subsequent EBV‐IM." "A positive PCR test without hospital admission, which occurred in a larger number of individuals, was associated with a higher risk of subsequent EBV‐IM, compared with individuals who did not have a registered positive PCR test for SARS‐CoV‐2 infection."
