  1. "Why Is No One Talking About Long COVID?

    — Attention has waned but patients are still suffering"

    medpagetoday.com/opinion/secon

    Pretty good basic info, but sadly ME/CFS is not mentioned even though COVID infections can trigger ME/CFS. The number of ME/CFS cases have increased since the pandemic.

  6. THIS: "Millions of Americans are thought to be suffering but not receiving appropriate clinical care. Furthermore, even now, well after the acute phase of the #COVID pandemic has passed, an estimated 30,000 Americans are newly diagnosed with #LongCOVID each year. But this is far fewer than expected, based on 2023 data. Thus, long COVID appears to have become a hidden cause of disease and disability."

  11. I've been contacted by somebody I cut ties with years ago, because they went along with the end of Covid safety protocols with a cheerful vengeance. They're now asking if I know of a doctor who treats Long Covid. I have to figure out what to say.

    I think it's a "teachable moment"? If I can find a way to get some info across without being a dick about it? Obviously "Well well well, look who's..." is not the correct option. No. #covid #longcOVID #covidIsNotOver

  16. @bich

    "Children in the UK missed several months of school during the 2020/21 Covid-19 lockdowns - and doctors say that fuelled a spike in childhood obesity"

    Whenever someone tries to blame something on covid lockdowns, I like to just check whether the real cause is covid *infections*.... and indeed, long covid is a big cause of both school absences and weight gain 🤔

  17. I'm done, for tonight. People who stopped masking are asking for vascular illness. Strokes & more coming at unmasked folks. Done trying to educate. People can die & choose to become disabled. They should look up HIV AIDS - same public ignorance on vascular but airborne hits more people.

  18. I just fucking ripped into a health care worker at Jubilee Hospital. I'm so fucking DONE with every single person in health care who isn't masking up at work. Hope you all fucking suffer covid & worse. You fucking dipshits.

  19. Mom's night nurse kept apologizing. I told her, straight up - I don't need any apologies from you or any unit staff. I just need you all to do a lot better with masking up, while at work. I've gone 12 hours on shifts with clients & never took my mask off the entire time.

    If you have a spare few dollars, and have found Mike Honey's COVID data interesting or helpful at any point, please consider donating.

    He's doing the job the governments should be doing.

  21. Audio report of my last phone conversation with Mom's nurse tonight. She's going to relay to entire unit. They better fucking do better when I arrive, tomorrow. I'll rip right into them, if they don't.

    "This is unacceptable!"

  22. How can you help me/Mom & many others - start using any privileges you have to call out unmasked people, especially in hospital settings, especially if they're public health care workers. I do that, daily - when at work & when not at work.

    Please use your privileges more to use your voice. I have lesser privileges than many here & I'm always using my voice for not just people I love but people I don't even know.

  23. Whenever any stranger compliments me, when I'm fully masked up - I tell them, only true cool people mask up without being told to do so. You can be cool like me too. Start with wearing a mask.
    I use visual privileges, because most humans judge others visually first, to say things that strangers don't expect to come out of my mouth.

    Got my updated 2026-2027 covid vaccine at CVS Pharmacy today! 💉

    I'm in MA. Cases are rising and there's always an increase when school starts.

    Was worried there would be a to-do like last year, with the Governor having to issue statewide guidance to overrule the more limiting federal guidance, to allow for widespread access. Happily, I was able to schedule my appointment easily, wasn't even asked for any qualifying conditions regarding eligibility. Hope everyone across the country will have equally smooth access! 🤞

  29. Hi Philly COVID conscious folks, would you like to be part of a list or "collection" of Philly CC accounts?

    I haven't tried making a "collection" on Mastodon yet, but apparently each one is limited to 25 accounts, so I thought this Venn diagram of people who

    * still acknowledge the pandemic
    * live in the Philly area
    * use Mastodon
    * want more attention

    might be small enough to fit.

  34. It looks like NHS England doesn’t offer COVID 19 vaccines to anyone younger than 75 (!) without an existing comorbidity or compromised immunity. The rest of us can get vaccinated at our own expense. At ~£100, I can afford it, but how can this be? #CovidIsNotOver #Politics #COVID

  39. Take from this what you will, and get your #COVID19 #Vaccine y'all! The wave is arriving here in North America. #COVIDisNotOver unfortunately - the lull is done, #wastewatersurveillance shows that a new wave is arriving.

    If you're anti-vax or want to spout any "reasons" not to get vaccinated, stop reading this post right now. If me telling you not to reply offends you, save us both some time and irritation and block me right now, this post isn't for you.

    Villa Park Illinois CVS in the Target in the Chicago area did *not* press me for details when getting the mNEXSPIKE Moderna mRNA vaccine - I think I heard that it's a bit better than the original Spikevax so I was pleasantly surprised to see that's what they gave me; I just asked for Moderna as a preference but I would have taken any of the approved vaccines.

    Note the FDA approval eligibility requirements when booking your appointment and keep them in mind in the pharmacy and act accordingly! Don't forget that the CDC list of conditions is super long and includes things like being sedentary or a former smoker. They can't prove you're not sedentary or not a former smoker.

    Thankfully, this time there was NO grilling me about exactly how at risk I am or any specific questions at all actually.

    Importantly, there was a check box on the online sign-up flow asking something that amounted to whether you were at high risk, I don't remember the wording.

    Not every CVS is the same; another one a few years ago wouldn't accept that I was high risk because I didn't have one of their short (and unpublished, and they wouldn't tell me what qualifies) list of conditions that CVS corporate considered an immune compromise.

    CVS wanted me to fill out a questionnaire online on my phone and texted me a link when I got to the pharmacy counter; it tried to force me to install a mobile app. I told the pharmacist I don't want to install an app to do this and if they had paper. She then came back to me a min later with "it says here you put in the following statements online: weakened immune system cancer or whatever" (this is an actual quote hahahaha) and I was like... "yep" and that was it. Got my vaccine no problem.
