WARNING: Long Covid is a Multisystemic disease 💔It can deeply damage your heart. 🫀Every heartbeat counts! 😷Protect Yourself! #LongcovidawarenessMonth #LongCovidHeartbeats #LongCovid #LongCovidAwareness

My dad didn't mask during an outing with his friends & brought COVID home in 2023. I would never recover from that infection. It's been over 3 years & I am still bedbound 80-90% of each day. My dad died of a cardiac arrest just a few months later. This is why we still mask.

Is it that difficult for people to understand that Covid can a) trigger new health conditions and b) aggravate existing ones?

🎉 #509PPM : l'émotion est toujours là ! Après un peu de repos, on partage quelques photos supplémentaires d'ambiance, en attendant les captations. Nous commencerons à les publier à partir de la fin du WE, au fil de l'eau. 1/3

Whelp, I'm out. The anesthesiologist REFUSED to wear a mask. She actually lied to me beforehand and said it was no problem. Not only that, but she refused to put in my medical chart that I requested my tissue be sent to a lab to be tested for SARS-CoV-2 and they denied and why.

RT @leslieleeiii: Please start taking COVID seriously before more people have to suffer and die.

"Friendly" Reminder: Covid can cause executive dysfunction. In the post-acute phase. If you have ADHD, it increases already existing executive dysfunction (as well as several other very common ADHD symptoms like short term memory issues, sleeping disorders, distractability etc)

Folks, please take note of Covid in the UK it is EXPLODING.

BREAKING: NYC COVID hospitalizations have passed the peak of the 2025 summer wave.

RT @THEBUNNIESTBOO: btw… he was only 22 and this all started from getting covid 4 months ago. completely shut down down his body. covid is…

You can do everything right and still become disabled. You can eat right, exercise, take vitamins, get sun, and still become disabled. No one is immune to disability. We’re all vulnerable. The sooner you acknowledge that, the sooner you’ll realize accessibility benefits everyone.

You know all those people who say ‘there’s no point asking people to wear a mask, no-one will ever wear a mask again!’. Well take a look on the news, people will wear masks if they understand the need to do so. Now to teach them about the correct masks.

This was just a glimpse, it was constant. Not one mask on any of the clinic staff coughing.

We are looking forward to collaborating with US and global advocates to help decision-makers adopt this pilot #CleanAir model. Together, we can reduce sickness, student absences, and parental productivity losses in major cities like NYC!

NBC has picked up the #bluewashing story. On August 14, the CDC downshifted how they categorize wastewater levels to make all current and historical COVlD levels lower.

Meanwhile covid 🦠being buried! But I’m over here Crippled by one infection in 2022 which I contracted on the frontlines in the NHS. And now needing a feeding tube to help me stay alive 🥲

🏥Health Journey Update. After 5.5 years and 26 doctors, walking into Specialist #27 felt like walking straight onto a battleground while already completely empty. I was terrified. Expecting another arrogant dismissal, and even more prepared for "fake nice" smile-and-nod routine that leaves you with a basic blood panel and a referral to stress management. 🥼When the appointment started, he was already doing what they always do: preparing to pass me off to Immunology and move on to the next chart. Then my nurse brain cut straight through the fog and physical exhaustion. I had a sudden, crystal-clear moment of clarity, and instead of handing him a list of disjointed symptoms, I handed him the unified cellular machinery. 🗾I mapped out the exact bridge: how active viral persistence infects the bone marrow, driving dysregulated megakaryocytes to throw off infected, hyper-reactive platelets. 🦴I showed him how those dysfunctional platelets lodge in the microvasculature, triggering local micro-thrombi and spilling massive amounts of MMP-9 and histamine directly into the vessel walls. 🔗I linked that exact capillary starvation directly to my nerve damage (ischemia of the vasa nervorum), my exertional petechiae, and the pathologic matrix remodeling driving the cysts and recurrent GI polyps I have to get surgically removed every single year. 👉I pulled out my labs and proved it to him right there. 💡His eyes lit up like Christmas. 😭He stopped treating the visit like a routine hand-off. 👁️He sat back, listened, and actually saw the pathology. 📜When I checked my portal afterward, I read the best doctor note I have seen in 5.5 years. 🚫Zero psych gaslighting. No mention of "anxiety," "stress," or "functional neurological disorder." Instead, a top Stanford vascular specialist put the undeniable truth into my permanent medical record: 👉 Microvascular Dysfunction: Documented as real dysregulation of small-vessel tone and signaling driving my petechiae and fingertip edema. 👉 Exertional Worsening: Explicitly noted that physical effort and muscle building trigger a body-wide reaction, darkening petechiae and worsening neurological symptoms. 👉 Upstream Immune Engine: Framed my elevated MMP-9, high histamine, mast cell degranulation, and secondary POTS as downstream consequences of an underlying systemic immune and neurohormonal disorder, not isolated, imaginary symptoms. 💦I poured sweat straight through my clothes while explaining it. 🧠My nervous system was dumping neurotransmitters so fast that my entire body broke into uncontrollable tremors, shaking, and a wave of nausea so severe it felt like my brain was physically purging the adrenaline. 🧘My body is completely wrecked right now. I am amped, vibrating, and paying the steep physiological debt for summoning that level of clarity while running on absolute zero. 🧱But today, after 26 brick walls, I forced a world-class academic institution to document the biological reality of what is happening inside my body. 🙌The truth is in my record now. Forever.

Fatigue is a symptom of SARS-CoV-2 infection and #LongCovid, by the way

I invite you all to join me this Friday for a Zoom Town Hall. I'll cover the current wave, what to expect in the coming months, and other topics related to SARS-CoV-2. We will also briefly touch on other pathogens of concern. Here is the link to register:necsi-edu.zoom.us/meeting/re…
