'Post-covidpatiënten waren inderdaad proefkonijn in medicijn­experiment, stelt commissie'

"Het onderzoek naar het oude verdovingsmiddel lidocaïne in de behandeling van post-covid had niet mogen starten zonder ethische toets vooraf. Tot die conclusie komt de onafhankelijke commissie voor medisch-wetenschappelijk onderzoek."

Every COVID-19 infection carries a risk of Long COVID - affecting the brain, heart, lungs, and immune system in ways that can last months or longer.

Prevention still works.

- Masking: Wear a high-quality mask (N95 or better) to reduce spread
- Ventilation: Bring in fresh air and use HEPA filtration indoors
- Distancing: Reduce crowding, use hybrid/remote options when possible
- Testing: Test early and often
- Vaccination: Helps protect against severe illness, especially with other measures

I need tips for apartment hunting while COVID cautious!

I’m losing my housing and the stress of it has utterly destroyed my baseline. It’s so difficult to find safe housing as a disabled individual.

I’ve finally found a few units to view, but my concern is if I wear my respirator I can’t adequately assess smells and triggers like mold or VOCs.

My MCAS is very severe. I usually know quite quickly if I’m going to react to a space … but I can’t always tell right away when I’m masked up.

No one is living in the units so they will be empty and it’s just me and one other person going to the viewing.

If I can convince that person to wear an N95 and keep their distance… do you think it’s safe if I remove my mask for a few minutes?

I basically just want to smell around things like the hvac, under sinks, anywhere there’s plumbing and the walls in case there’s been new paint.

I know it might be moderately risky but it would be catastrophic to get locked into a year lease somewhere making me sick.

Appreciate any tips if there’s something I’m not thinking of!
