"Winter Olympic athletes are rightfully taking COVID-19 precautions"
"Olympians, just like anyone, are at risk of Long COVID. Studies have shown that the risk of the disabling disease may increase with each SARS-CoV-2 infection and trigger or worsen diagnoses."
"The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing as the virus continues to spread around the world unchecked, causing further death and disability. The virus has caused over 25 million excess deaths, while more than 400 million people have been affected by Long COVID."

'Zombie' Remnants of COVID-19 Hunt In Packs And Kill Our Immune Cells
Study by 30+ authors shows how the destruction of the virus within our body leaves dangerous protein fragments that target immune cells, helping explain debilitating long COVID symptoms affecting millions worldwide.
Yaneer Bar-Yam, founder of the so-called World Health Network which so many covid-aware people foolishly insisted on following, appears in the Epstein files.

Interesting observation. I have had massive struggles with this dissertation and two hours of actual work in a day plus breaks is the best I get. Today I realised I'm a six finger typist and thought I'd try typing with eight. I was much slower but I just worked for 45 minutes without my brain getting distracted or overwhelmed. And my breathing feels slower. Will have to experiment more with this.
New: NYC fetish dungeon shows off NUKIT lanterns/HEPA filtration (safer air than your kids school), research ties #LongCovid in kids to absenteeism/learning problems, huge bombshell study shows Covid "causes lasting immune dysregulation for over 20 months," more:
This is among the most concise and well cited sources for the current state of #Covid knowledge and tools. Even for well-informed people who already take strong precautions, there is still likely something new to be learned by giving it a read through.
Urgent Appeal: Help Anna #Escape#Abuse – Time is Running Out!
🚨EMERGENCY: Anna's Life Hangs in the Balance – Act NOW to Rescue Her from #Abuse and #Neglect!
Anna, an Australian woman battling severe #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis (#ME) for over 20 years, is trapped in a toxic home with abusive family members. Bedbound and forced to stay in a dark room, she is vulnerable and that vulnerability is taken advantage of. She is not allowed access to #disability aids or workers and needs approval for all mailed items including food, which may be binned or sold regardless. There are no steady rules, just excuses for her abuse. She faces deliberate exposure to sensory overload, days without food, constant yelling, stolen belongings, and three #COVID infections in 15 months due to unmasked family members. She now has #LongCovid as well. Compounded by #endometriosis, #hypothyroidism, #POTS, #chronicpain, and more - her health is deteriorating rapidly.
** Her doctor fears that staying in this environment will kill her.**
#Australia's #healthcare, #disability, and #domesticviolence systems have failed her catastrophically,. This systemic neglect has created a life-threatening crisis – and for Anna, it's already too late to wait.
Anna's Critical Needs – Your Support Can Save Her:
Safe Housing ASAP: Anna desperately needs a quiet room in a COVID-conscious (masking) home in #Melbourne. She can pay rent $250 per week, with funded meals and limited care hours; long-term help may qualify for Carer's Allowance. She has indicated she may need incidental help.
Secure Relocation: Specialized transport to reduce infection risks and suit her ME. Funds needed for moving costs and aids until #NDIS access.
Expert Advocacy: A #DisabilityAdvocate for complex cases to navigate the system with her. Even a friend just willing to help. She can’t do this alone.
Communication Aid (#Australia, preferably #Victoria): Someone to handle phone tasks – all documents provided. Brain injury has made phone use impossible.
-This is a Shameful Failure – But You Can Help In a resource-rich nation, no one should rot in abuse while services ignore them. Don't let Anna become a statistic.
the figure on the manila anatomical bookmark is against a dark ink background. their body is colored in dark green-blue, with vibrant trans pride flag colors across their body diagonally, the white at their lower abdomen. Their face is drawn in extreme concern. A speech bubble shows them asking, "is there a less invasive option?" a drawing of a disembodied white coat,with jagged edges and allmost glitch-like shaking lines is before them. The white coat also has a speech bubble, and replies, "this is the less invasive option."
This post is part of a new blog series focusing on Long COVID. The author, Rachel Nussbaum, is a Master of Public Health and COVID-19 long-hauler, with three years of lived experience with Long COVID. Through this series, WHN aims to raise awareness of Long COVID and long-hauler experiences, as well as the implications of the disease for public health.
Dark textured background with “whn.global” at the top. Large headline text reads: “Writing Long COVID off as something that’s not a concern for everyone paves the way for disaster.” Smaller text below reads: “No one is immune to COVID-19’s lasting effects. Proven measures — masking, clean indoor air, testing, and reducing airborne spread — can significantly lower harm.” Three photos appear beneath the text: an N95 respirator, a portable air purifier, and a COVID rapid test. Footer text reads: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.”
This article examines evidence showing that Long COVID can affect people who were young, active, and healthy before infection, including those with mild or asymptomatic cases, and explores what current research tells us about ongoing risk and prevention.
Christmas Day, despite keeping it as relaxed as a trip to see family can be, wiped me out. Boxing Day was quiet, but the post-exertional malaise (or post-exertional symptom exacerbation, for those who prefer) kicked in yesterday and I was good for nothing. Slept for a big chunk of the day and never really felt as though I properly woke up.
Today is slightly better, but not great. I've been trying to do a few light tasks to keep my brain in gear, but I think I'm done for the day.
Don't get covid, kids. You have no idea what it will leave in its wake.
