Broadwaybabyto<p>It’s International Long Covid Awareness Day, and my latest article looks at the reasons why people believe they don’t know anyone with Long Covid. </p><p>We desperately need increased visibility into this debilitating chronic illness so that we can raise awareness and fund treatments, mitigations and cures. </p><p>Anyone can get Long Covid. It’s not limited to ‘only the vulnerable’ or those who had a severe initial infection. </p><p>This disease does not discriminate. Even people with asymptomatic initial infections have found themselves disabled by Long Covid. </p><p>It’s time we start processing the trauma of the pandemic and stop living in denial. </p><p>We are in the middle of a mass disabling event, and the longer it takes us to admit that, the more people will be harmed.</p><p>Let’s spread the word that the only way to avoid Long Covid is to avoid getting Covid in the first place. </p><p>Wear a mask. Stay home when sick. Clean and ventilate the air. </p><p>When we all agree to care about the air we share, we can begin to bring about real change.</p><p><a href="https://www.disabledginger.com/p/i-dont-know-anyone-with-long-covid" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">disabledginger.com/p/i-dont-kn</span><span class="invisible">ow-anyone-with-long-covid</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovid</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovidawarenessday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovidawarenessday</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisairborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisairborne</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisnotover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisnotover</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/sarscov2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sarscov2</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/chronicillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chronicillness</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/wearamask" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wearamask</span></a></p>
Shantell Powell<p>Because of long COVID, my dad will never walk on the beach again.

Hermit<p>Interview with Dr. Putrino on the long term effects of COVID, and not only in people diagnosed with Long Covid. </p><p>“There is more and more literature emerging to show that beyond long COVID, there's also effects that SARS-CoV-2 infection is having on the bodies of the general public that manifest in a way that might be viewed as silent.”</p><p>“And the reality of that situation is that this is a virus that has a lot of very unique qualities that specifically cause immune damage to the host.”</p><p>“For the longest time in the field of immunology, there was the sort of adage that your immune system, you know, needs to be tested every now and again to stay strong. You got to keep it fighting. That's an old-fashioned idea, you know.”</p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/quirks-and-quarks/id151485804?i=1000699213418&amp;r=2093" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/</span><span class="invisible">quirks-and-quarks/id151485804?i=1000699213418&amp;r=2093</span></a></p><p><a href="https://todon.eu/tags/CovidIsNotOver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CovidIsNotOver</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/LongCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCovid</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/LongCOVIDAwarenessDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCOVIDAwarenessDay</span></a></p>
Ron Chusid :verified:<p>Today is Long Covid awareness day. An example of the lack of awareness: Last month one of my Long Covid patients died in the hospital. CT scan reported ground glass opacities in the lungs characteristic of Covid but it was ignored.

Michaela Maya<p>Berichten zufolge hielt der <a href="https://mastodon.wurzelmann.at/tags/BND" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BND</span></a> schon 2020 ein "Lab Leak" des <a href="https://mastodon.wurzelmann.at/tags/Coronavirus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Coronavirus</span></a> für den wahrscheinlichen Ursprung der <a href="https://mastodon.wurzelmann.at/tags/Pandemie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pandemie</span></a>. Aber bisher gibt's für die These nur wenig wissenschaftliche Evidenz - dafür so manches, das gegen sie spricht. Und nicht nur das. Es ist auch eine Diskussion, von der wir wenig zu gewinnen haben. Andere Aspekte wären viel wichtiger, finde ich. Der Fokus auf <a href="https://mastodon.wurzelmann.at/tags/LongCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCovid</span></a> und die Vorbereitung auf die nächste Pandemie, zum Beispiel:<br><a href="https://www.spektrum.de/kolumne/covid-und-die-lab-leak-these-die-ewige-suche-nach-schuldigen/2257430" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">spektrum.de/kolumne/covid-und-</span><span class="invisible">die-lab-leak-these-die-ewige-suche-nach-schuldigen/2257430</span></a></p>

Broadwaybabyto<p>Today marks the five year anniversary of Covid being declared a pandemic. Some things I want people to remember: </p><p>The threat is not gone. People are still dying and becoming disabled every single day </p><p>COVID is airborne. It’s always been airborne. Droplet transmission was pushed incorrectly &amp; then doubled down on for economic reasons. If governments admit it’s airborne, they have to spend money upgrading air quality and providing respirators etc. </p><p>The only way to avoid Long Covid is to not get Covid. </p><p>A well fitted respirator like an N95 offers excellent personal protection </p><p>Mask mandates belong in healthcare </p><p>If you’re not masking for your patient, you’re abdicating your responsibility to do no harm </p><p>It costs nothing to open a window and it will improve ventilation and reduce odds of viral spread. Air purifiers work well too</p><p>COVID is a social justice issue. Masks, tests, air filters, paid time off… these things all cost money. The disease disproportionately impacts those who are most vulnerable and multiple marginalized </p><p>Repeat infections don’t make you stronger. They don’t give you immunity. They actually harm your brain, heart and immune system. They’re also NOT inevitable </p><p>Kids are harmed by COVID too. They need the adults to protect them. We need clean in schools and on school buses </p><p>We went “back to normal” for capitalism. It wasn’t because it was safe. It wasn’t because there was a cure. Governments and those in power Are willing to sacrifice us to keep end stage capitalism afloat a little longer </p><p>Repeat infections are NOT inevitable. We can still curb the spread. We don’t have to accept constant sickness and disability as our new normal. </p><p>May we be in a much better place five years from now than we are today. </p><p>If you know someone suffering from Long Covid, reach out to them. Ask them how you can support them. Remind them they’ve not been forgotten. Wear a mask for them. They are counting on you. </p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisairborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisairborne</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisnotover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisnotover</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/sarscov2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sarscov2</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovid</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/chronicillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chronicillness</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pandemic</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovidawarenessweek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovidawarenessweek</span></a></p>
