March 27, 2014- 🇳🇿Scientists in New Zealand and internationally are now convinced that the prevalence of Long Covid is likely to increase.

"That's a reason to take preventive action.”

"There's been a lot of optimism that it will just go away, and we're now seeing very firm evidence that that is not going to happen." -

March 24, 2024- “A study of people with a mild to moderate form of the virus showed significant, prolonged inflammation of the brain and changes that "are commensurate with seven years of brain aging."” - https://people.com/covid-linked-lower-iq-poor-memory-other-negative-impacts-brain-health-8619254

March 20, 2024. I’ve been reading anecdotal Covid related posts since 2020 and they don’t seem to be getting any milder or better. I can’t imagine where we’ll be in just a few years from now. 🤷♂️ It’s a slow outta-control COVID train wreck that no one wants to talk about…

March 16, 2024- “I have spent hundreds of hours in the microscope looking at the worst viruses can do to the brain, including the Zika virus, HIV, Flu, and others. I've never seen the type of damage SARS-CoV-2 leaves behind after infection with other viruses.” - Danielle Beckman, Neuroscientist specialized in high- res microscopy. Pharm.D, M.S (Biophysics), Ph.D (Biological Chemistry).

- Related: March 17, 2024- “..what #SARSCoV2 does is not only infect the brain, but it actually replicates inside the neurons. Few viruses replicate inside neurons; they usually infect and propagate in other cell types.” “.. What you see inside these neurons is double-stranded RNA. This is the site of active replication for the virus. It is not spike protein or something else that can come in a vaccine. It is active viral production.” -Danielle Beckman Neuroscientist, M.S, Ph.D.

03/4/24-Dr:🫀 attack patients under the age of 40, 10-20% - “We have really noticed the trend for younger people from mid-20s upwards having heart attacks in the past five years in particular. ‘Now as a cardiologist, you wouldn’t even raise your eyebrows when seeing someone in their late 30s — it’s becoming fairly typical, which is frightening.’ “ - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-13154677/young-people-having-heart-attacks-lead-seemingly-healthy-lifestyles-suffered-heart-problems.html

-Related? Those infected with Covid were - “40% more likely to develop cardiovascular disease & 5X more likely to die in the 18 months after. Those with severe infection were at a higher risk.” - https://www.bhf.org.uk/informationsupport/heart-matters-magazine/news/coronavirus-and-your-health/what-does-coronavirus-do-to-your-body

Will the Biden Administration’s political gamble to muzzle #CDC policies actually end up contributing to history repeating itself? Italian cities that suffered most in the 1918 influenza pandemic saw the largest vote share for Mussolini in 1924. 🤷♂️ - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35080961/

Not a Trump supporter but anyone can verify that the president appoints and controls not only the head of the Health and Human Services department, currently Xavier Becerra, but also the head of the CDC, Mandy Cohen who formally worked as the chief operating officer and chief of staff at the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under the Obama administration. Pretending The Biden Administration didn’t directly influence this big decision in a presidential election year is ignorant.

Feb/21/24 - “Here, using viral sequence data collected as part of a national infection survey, we identified 381 individuals with SARS-CoV-2 RNA at high titre persisting for at least 30 days, of which 54 had viral RNA persisting at least 60 days. We refer to these as ‘persistent infections’ as available evidence suggests that they represent ongoing viral replication, although the persistence of non-replicating RNA cannot be ruled out in all.” -https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07029-4

- “Persistent SARS-CoV-2 infections may act as viral reservoirs that could seed future outbreaks, give rise to highly divergent lineages and contribute to cases with post-acute COVID-19 sequelae (long COVID).”

@PacificNic fyi- from the new study out in Nature today: “Study reveals high number of persistent COVID-19 infections in the general population” - https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2024-02-21-study-reveals-high-number-persistent-covid-19-infections-general-population

The world economy never recovered from Covid. - “Britain sank into recession this week. So did Japan, with its decline so bad that it lost its spot as the world’s No. 3 economy.”

“It is increasingly apparent that the world economy is showing some of the chronic weakness we associate with long COVID. It appears the pandemic left some deep wounds in the economy – something few economists saw coming.” - https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/commentary/article-global-economy-covid-19-pandemic/

@noyes @shayz0rz thank God you edited and explained that, I thought you were quoting Bob Dylan or something at first. 🤷♂️ shows you how much I know lol. Yes, of course. Stupid immunologists.. it’s definitely alive and kicking as we’ve discussed numerous times. It does sound a lot like the stuff you’ve been talking about. You should definitely feel even more validated 👍🏼

February 2, 2024- “Zombie" COVID-19 fragments linger for some, causing severe disease outcomes, new research reveals”- https://www.salon.com/2024/02/02/zombie-19-fragments-linger-for-some-causing-severe-disease-outcomes-new-research-reveals/

Dozens of people I knew died from AIDS in the 80s, and it was horrible. There are comparisons that can be made with Covid like they both start out with “mild” flu like symptoms, cause damage to the immune system etc., our governments pretend it’s not happening, lies about the true numbers and “others” the victims because “it largely only affects a certain minority or demographic”. We’re @ Yr 5! 🤦♂️ https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-deaths-estimates?fsrc=core-app-economist

-My point is that we’re just starting year five since Covid arrived and according to the latest update in The Economist, it may have already killed 35 million people. Look how many people AIDS has killed since the AIDS epidemic started. In 2022 the total number was roughly 40 million. Almost as many people as Covid has already (possibly) killed in just under 5 years. 🤷♂️ https://www.unaids.org/en/resources/fact-sheet

🤔“language is breaking down” in adults with Long COVID. “Even a short, slow-paced conversation can induce a severe flare-up of symptoms,” “My experience was””impaired word recall and object recognition; executive functioning, such as following steps to do laundry; and spatial memory, even in my own apartment. Conversations were dream-like, disorienting, and difficult; technology use triggered sudden naps.”-https://this.org/2023/12/19/how-tv-podcasts-helped-me-regain-my-memory-after-long-covid/

December 22, 2023- “JN.1—a new, highly mutated COVID variant—could cause one of the largest U.S. waves yet, experts say.” -https://fortune.com/well/2023/12/22/jn1-covid-variant-largest-wave-us/
