11 months later, finally a Reject on my latest paper on #Covid and #LongCovid. Hard not to suspect bias with comments like: "...the possibility of a mass hysteria phenomenon, is still a plausible explanation" "...by 2024, both COVID and long COVID seem a long way behind us" 🙄

Given that WHO has said 1 in 10 infections will lead to long COVID, it’s likely that some of these athletes will leave not with medals, but chronic health issues that require care and knowledge for any continued athletic participation. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
And another one… (Cue the replies saying “this happens every Olympics! or It’s a cold! or Healthy athletes don’t need to worry about covid!) Ventilation, testing, and recommending + making available N95s for high risk areas could’ve helped. #Olympics is failing these athletes.

Grateful for the #YallMasking trend! I am teaching my children about the value of community and protecting ourselves and others. We will continue to mask and live our lives in love and kindness!

Macklemore just released a new song called "Hind's Hall" and everyone should listen to it
HIND’S HALL. Once it’s up on streaming all proceeds to UNRWA.

Good question. A BETTER question is why is Youngkin so determined to give Klan-affiliated white women welfare by stealing money from Black kids? A thread.
Governor Youngkin vetoed legislation to eliminate tax shelters for the Daughters of the Confederacy. Why does he reward this organization, founded to commemorate the beliefs and actions of those who practiced and promoted slavery? wildervisions.com/2024/04/15…

15/ Overall SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been found in the lymph node tissue of #children hundreds of days after infection. That is concerning for the health of our next generation. We must take more action now on a global level to study SARS-CoV-2 persistence: nature.com/articles/s41590-0…

So many people have #LongCovid & no one has ever connected the dots for them before. This condition is dramatically under recognized. And the same groups who are already unheard or dismissed or lack access to care are the ones who suffer LC most & never know why. 😞 #MedTwitter

Most governments are trying to trick us into believing we don't need to adapt to COVID-19. They can't sustain the illusion forever. johnsnowproject.org/primers/…
