“For some, walking upstairs, having a shower or even the psychological drain of a conversation can trigger a relapse and the after-effects can last weeks."

the risk extends to “dementia-level decline”, sometimes months or even years after the initial infection

The fact that Jared Kushner derives nearly all his income from the Saudi government while he purports to be negotiating issues of acute interest to the Saudi government allegedly on behalf of the US is simply swept under the rug by US mainstream media.
Washington can only pay attention to a scandal or two at a time, which means in the Trump age there are all sorts of should-be-big-deal scandals that don’t get the oxygen or media focus that they should.
I'll bet you've missed at least three of these: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/five-trump...
Researchers warn of severe long-term damage to the brain after Covid following new study
January study of essential workers (with blood samples before & after COVID infection) found those with long-term neurological symptoms had higher phosphorylated tau—a protein linked to early brain degeneration
If Covid numbers are low compared to the constantly elevated levels we are used to that is a good thing, however it changes nothing about the level of precaution I will take.
When my family was hit with Covid in 2021 there were less than 10 known cases in my province of 500,000, and we
"Do not lose hope. This fight is not over. We should all be so proud of the coalition we built to fight this. Tribal Nations. Outdoorsmen. Conservationists. Public lands advocates," said Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) on Thursday.

Beanie looking gorgeous on yesterday's very wet and windy hill trip! 🌧️
Yesterday was a good reminder that April showers are very real here in the Cairngorms! If you are coming to visit us, then please remember to check the weather forecast and our clothing requirements!
That the president of the United States is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system!
CNN exposes a global “online rape academy” that teaches men how to drug and rape women without detection. Over 62 million men attended in February alone.
The most despicably racist public statement of our lifetimes came from the perverted mind of RFKjr who said “every black kid” should be taken away from every black parent by government and “re-parented.” Listen to him say it & hear the sound of American Nazi madness.
Top corner, there's a screenshot of an email from "Friend who gets it" to "me". It reads: "I had an idea. What if made a tshirt to wear on race day that had something to raise awareness about long covid? Something like, "Running for my Long Covid friends who can't." or "Running to raise awareness about Long Covid." What's the shortest message that would seem like good PR? If anything?" Below the email screenshot, two pictures of the purple T-shirt this friend ordered. Bottom left is of the back, which has "Running for my Long Covid friends who no longer can" written on it. Bottom right is of the front, which has a ribbon and "Long COVID" written on it. Top right of this image is my caption. It reads: "COVID Chronicles, Day 1312. It's not just that she sees me. It's that she followed through. <3" @covidchronicles.bsky.social
Day 1312—I used to volunteered as Team in Training mentor (running marathons for cancer research)
Now I can barely run errands. One mild COVID infection (2022) is all it took
Last week, a fellow runner sent me this. It's not just that she sees me—It's that she followed through 💜

If you let major crimes & trespasses go without acknowledging or punishing them, then you open the door to further atrocities. In the case of unrelenting mass COVID infections that cause frontal lobe damage, you must also consider reduced risk assessment, decision-making, & impulse control abilities
“Such a pathogen could bring an end to society as we know it. Unfortunately, the nightmare may be real and taking shape in SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.”

My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.
Article from The Sick Times. Headline: “Long COVID is significantly underreported across the globe.” Written by Jamie Ducharme, April 14, 2026. Subheading: “Researchers and advocates are trying to change that.” Image shows a woman wearing glasses and a face mask, with a patterned headscarf. Background features abstract artwork with virus-like shapes and grid patterns. Caption credit: Miles Griffis / The Sick Times (image source: Pexels).
Long COVID is significantly underreported across the globe.
Long COVID has affected over 400 million people globally as of 2024, but it’s likely underreported—especially in low- and middle-income countries where data and access to care are limited.
