· One month since WHO declared #Ebola outbreak in Congo DR it's now third-largest on record
· #Hantavirus: Still in quarantine period many in UK & US who were directly exposed on the ship sent home from quarantine centers
· New study shows people with #LongCOVID more likely to develop cardiovascular disease

And much more.

"Stay apart, stand together, mask up, & stay strong."

Es war zäh mit der Kasse, aber sie hat nun - wie schon die Beihilfe - die dritte Reha von Gattin genehmigt. In drei Wochen geht's los.

As one who suffers from permenant #anosmia and any #LongCovid or #Covid19 sufferers out there we need this: "Electronic nose" precisely identifies spoiled food and allergens | heise online https://www.heise.de/en/news/Electronic-nose-precisely-identifies-spoiled-food-and-allergens-11337094.html
"Electronic nose" precisely identifies spoiled food and allergens

Detecting spoiled food isn't always as easy as with milk. An “electronic nose” can do this very precisely and even smells allergens.

One positive from this study: knowing Long COVID exists and can raise heart‑disease risk must drive better training for health staff — so more clinicians recognise its serious impacts and patients aren’t missed.

One positive from this study: clearer evidence should mean clearer action. Knowing Long COVID raises heart‑disease risk helps clinicians spot problems earlier, guide monitoring, & protect patients who might be missed.

When studies report “OR”, it means Odds Ratio — a way of showing how much more likely an outcome is in one group compared with another.
OR 1.50 = 50% higher odds.
OR 1.81 = 81% higher odds.
It’s a simple measure of risk difference.

A national US survey shows Long COVID patients face significantly higher cardiovascular risk, even after adjusting for other factors - highlighting urgent need for Long COVID care and research?

Long COVID isn’t just lingering symptoms — it’s linked to higher odds of angina (Odds Ratio: 1.81) and heart attack (OR 1.50). Millions may face preventable long‑term heart complications.
