What a distinguished gentleman!

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

School Difficulties and Long COVID in Children and Adolescents

Published: April 2, 2026

A new study shows Long COVID in kids is linked to school struggles—attention, learning and social issues. It highlights the need for early recognition and better school-based support to help affected children.

Black background graphic with WHN branding in white and pink. At the top: “whn.global”. Large headline: “COVID-19 is in its 7th year”. Below: “Science and medicine have learned a lot about COVID in the past six years—how it affects the body, brain, and immune system, both short and long term.” In pink text: “We also now know far more about how to prevent and reduce its impact.” At the bottom: “World Health Network — Science for a safer, healthier world.”

We’re in year 7 of COVID, and a lot has changed. We now understand far more about its long-term impact on the body and how infections can build over time. If you’ve been rethinking your approach to protection, you’re not alone, and it’s not too late to start again.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
