Sigh, more proof that I'll be needing to increase my cardiovascular and keep my weight training to help me with my studies:
The Fascinating Phenomenon That Is Your Brain on Exercise
..the current physical activity recommendations to get a minimum of 150 min/wk of moderate intensity aerobic exercise is probably a good starting point. “Most of us researchers in this area believe that this is likely close to the target that most people should be aiming for in order to achieve some impact on both cognitive and mood outcomes,” Erickson said.
The guidelines also recommend at least 2 days of muscle strengthening activity per week, and Kramer said everyone should strive for that, including older adults so long as they’re cleared by their doctor.

CW: Deaths, Covid, Long Covid
From Medscape:
"Long COVID Has Caused Thousands of US Deaths: New CDC Data"
"More than 5000 Americans have died from long COVID since the start of the pandemic, according to new estimates from the CDC."
"Long covid" in this article appears to be umbrella term used for anyone with symptoms remaining after acute Covid. Not sure whether it includes any patients with ME/CFS from Covid.

A few more quotes:
"… long COVID patients need to prioritize their own energy regardless of what they're being told by those who don't understand the illness."
Spouses need education on Long Covid because
"any kind of lack of awareness or understanding in a family member or close support could potentially isolate the person struggling with long COVID."For resources on pacing check out this #MEaction website:

Medscape article:
COVID Isolated People. Long COVID Makes It Worse
"Because she lives alone and her closest relatives are an hour and a half away, Tyshynski is dependent on friends. But she's reluctant to lean on them because they already have trouble understanding how debilitating her lingering symptoms can be."
"I've had people pretty much insinuate that I'm lazy"
A sadly familiar story.

Some news about ME/CFS from the CDC, copied from an #MEAction twitter thread (with a few modifications / additions)
===The CDC updates its website, adds a new CME (Continuing Medical Education), presents a new "Voice of the Patient" story, and shares the next SEC call date. On the whole, it is a set of positive updates.
