#LongCovid #PASC #novid

I was careful to say "I am (AFAIK) a #NoVid. "
And I am still wearing masks when inside with people I don't know. We've had exactly one cold since the beginning of 2020. I'll stop wearing them when we have safe indoor air.

Like another reply, I am (AFAIK) #NoVid. Still masking, still test when I feel poorly (very rare, bonus of masking, like 3x in 5 yrs), still using HEPA filters In my house, vax, and isolate anyone in my family who gets sick. I participate in Johns Hopkins COVID long term study & have for years now.

ah, I came here for this,
I am (AFAIK) a #NoVid. I'm in a group that regularly has meetings with 40 people, some of whom as NoVids and belong to other COVID conscious groups.
I know that epidemiologists need to see the population as "almost all infected" but at a more detailed level, we're out here.

Results of the study are published in The Journal of Nutrition. “There’s been tremendous interest in whether vitamin D supplements can be of benefit in COVID, and this is one of the largest and most rigorous randomized trials on the subject,” said senior author JoAnn Manson, MD, DrPH, of the Mass General Brigham Department of Medicine. “While we didn’t find that high-dose vitamin D reduced COVID severity or hospitalizations, we observed a promising signal for long COVID that merits additional research.”
