In front of fans and kids taking photos, a Dallas police officer starts shoving staff members of the Egyptian national team here for the World Cup. At one point, he even reaches for his handcuffs. The video is already being shared internationally by news outlets.

There’s so many reporters who have blood on their hands by enabling vs fact checking the freedom to infect disease spreading corporate profits health officers on covid, on Covid being airborne, and the true risks of long Covid LC risk is cumulative by the third infection 38% have LC

Dr. Lisa lannattone @lisa iannattone StatCan just dropped a bombshell report on LC. This is the most important figure. It highlights that the risk of long term symptoms is cumulative, it increases with increasing number of infections. By 3+ infections, 38% report long term symptoms - that's 1 in every 2.6 people. The percentage of adults experiencing long-term symptoms increased with the number of COVID-19 infections reported The potential impact of re-infections on the risk of developing or exacerbating pre-existing long-term symptoms is important considering the endemic nature of COVID-19. However, studies providing evidence of increased risk are limited in number and generalizability. 11Asseen in Chart 2, Canadians reporting two known or suspected COVID-19 infections (25.4%) were 1.7 times more likely to report prolonged symptoms than those reporting only one known or suspected infection (14.6%), and those with 3 or more infections (37.9%) 2.6 times more likely. Chrage of Canadian addis with long term symptoms, by number of self reported COVID-19 miccoons, sx 2ue3 • Data table for Chart 2 People that had their first infection early in the pandemic, though, were also more likely to report multiple COVID-19 intons. For example, in this study the average date of first infection for those with three or more infections was May 2021, compared to September 2021 for those with two infections, and May 2022 for those with one infection. 1:25 PM • Dec 8, 2023 • 765.9K Views

it is truly perverse working in an industry in which some of the most respected outlets insist the illness many of their own colleagues have is not real

Spare a thought for all those healthcare workers affected by #LongCovid (we know HCPs are disproportionately affected) who still manage to work - everybody struggles at these temperatures, but if you have dysautonomia, you will struggle even more www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Our amazing Research Involvement Consultancy (we like to call it the RIC) has been involved in helping centre Long Covid patients in research, making sure their lived experience is taken into account in studies, and recruiting people to take part. See our latest post on FB or Instagram for more info

I have been working in Patient and Public involvement for around 17 years and have never had the pleasure of working with such a dynamic, passionate, and knowledgeable group as yourselves. Honestly, if you step back and look at how you’ve managed all the activity and work, it is incredible. The impact you have had on improving things for the Long Covid Community is enormous.

Risk of new-onset obstructive sleep apnea up to 4.5 years after COVID-19 in the urban population - PubMed

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to cardiovascular, metabolic, and cognitive morbidity. Although COVID-19 has been associated with long-term respiratory and neurological sequelae, its role in precipitating new-onset OSA remains unclear.
