This eminently readable patient-led review of long Covid is well worth your time.
More and more in the medical literature documenting the many complications of repeated COVID infection - including this excellent new review article on long COVID.
The best way to avoid long COVID is to avoid COVID infection.

Aust vs S Africa. 3rd test day 1. Renshaw has tested +ve for Covid this morning but will still play. What a terrible decision! Bad for the other staff and players and so dangerous for his own health

Priceline Pharmacy World Square: ‘We don’t keep Paxlovid in stock because it’s expensive. We might be able to order some in for you Mon’. Important to keep inventory of drugs that actually work minimal, to make room for vitamins, nutraceuticals, chocolate, jelly beans. Grrrr.
So proud of this moment after seven years in the trenches. And now you can follow our journey at @ellenmedical
Today is an important day in the kidney health community's efforts to make dialysis affordable.

Great to catch up with my paediatric colleague Dr Mike Freelander MP at the George Institute to show him Ellen Medical’s new lightweight peritoneal dialysis bag and discuss manufacturing opportunities here in Australia. @georgeinstitute @vjha126 @arthurbrandwood

Just out our review on #bloodpressure and its #variability in @NatRevCardiol *message = blood pressure fluctuates all the time and these fluctuations are not harmless. Read to note potential of new #cuffless techniques if accuracy can be assured @ISHBP

A rare RCT comparing haemodialysis with peritoneal dialysis. Congrats to the authors.

Rand trial of booster vs placebo in 10.1K people age 16+ who were median ~11 mos since dose 2 of Pfizer #COVID19 #vaccine. At 2.5 mos median follow up, 95% efficacy. All ages had similar benefit. A 📸 is worth a thousand words. #GetBoosted! #MedTwitter

NSW Health has recommended the reintroduction of indoor masks, density limits, singing and dancing bans, and a return to working from home as case numbers rise. But NSW gov says no! At this stage – at Sunshine Coast, Queensland
