A viral parallel this field knows well. HIV. In HIV-HAND, cerebral hypoperfusion is documented - chronic viral involvement in the CNS, with cognition and fatigue grinding along below the clinical threshold, missed by routine imaging. HAND, we've learned to hold back with treatment. In long COVID we have the finding without the therapy.

What it found instead - they were slower from the first minute, and their performance swung far more. Not running out of gas - more like running the whole task on a smaller tank at a higher cost.

22 people with long COVID. Mild infection, no hospitalization, nearly three years out. Routine MRI clean - the radiologist found nothing. Their brains still perfuse measurably worse than matched controls. Not in one spot, but globally.🧵

WATCH: “I hope this session of Parliament, Mr. Speaker, we won’t see this pattern re-emerge - call it the ‘blame Canada pattern,’ the ‘hissy-fit brigade.’ We are in a trade war. We did not provoke this trade war.” - @StevenMacKinnon 🔥🔥🔥

This warning from David Letterman to the media from just a year ago feels sadly too relevant today. He is right: You can't appease a tyrant.

Bill Cassidy complaining that RFK Jr. "lied to him" is hilarious. You’re literally a doctor who voted to confirm a guy famous for eating roadkill and snorting blow off toilets. What did you think was going to happen?

Even the CBC reported that this session of QP sounded familiar. Same BS rage-farming coming from the @PierrePoilievre's Conservatives.
Yup. It's like CPAC is playing a rerun of QP from 6 months ago. Same Con BS.

Someone is literally posting on the Flu page saying they lost their taste and smell last March like it is a mystery. They are now at 6 months later, asking for any tips to bring it back. Tip #1: It was Covid. Loosing smell/taste is the Covid signature move, and in this case it was the spring variant BA.3.2 edition. Tip #2: You cannot sweep it off the floor and call it all gone. It doesn’t work that way. 😭

Catholic Health Ethics: As a faith-based Catholic healthcare provider, Covenant Health operates under a Health Ethics Guide that explicitly prohibits procedures such as elective abortions, in-vitro fertilization, medical assistance in dying (MAID), and emergency contraception.

This is what happens when conservatism manages healthcare for too many years, especially Smith's kind of rightism.

A religious healthcare group running an urgent care/birthing centre? What could possibly go wrong for women or LGBTQS+ people requiring care here?

BREAKING!!! Danielle Smith has just announced that she is deliberately cutting out AHS from the creation of a new urgent care/birthing center in Airdrie and instead will be utilizing Covenant Care. /1 #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

What amazes is that people organizing a subsequent LC conference thought: a) this sort of of thing could be considered a threat of harm to someone and b) let's exclude them again and not represent them in any way whatsoever And then they wonder why patients are so angry? 🤔😭
NON-VIOLENT PROTEST DURING A CONFERENCE ON #LongCovid. We are people living with Long Covid and we are sick. We want real care, not cognitive behavioral therapy or meditation. We need medications for our lungs, hearts, stomachs, immune systems, brains damaged by #Covid.

I have been hearing the same experience from many students as I have visited campuses this week. Not only did the Ford government saddle families with more financial burden with the change to the OSAP program - the implementation of their new program is leaving students and families in the dark about the financial implications for them. This is unfair. Young people are our future. #fixosapasap cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/…
