The Long-COVID Crisis: No Cure, Little Attention
“Long COVID was recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) nearly 6 years ago; you can’t say there is no definition!” said Pauline Oustric, president of the association #AprèsJ20 Association COVID Long France. “Yet we still see denial and a tendency to psychologize this disease.”

Long COVID Linked to Brain Changes, Cognitive Decline
New imaging research suggests that changes in the brain after COVID may contribute to cognitive decline similar to early stages of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and may be predictive of dementia risk, based on data from more than 200 individuals.

Clinical Implications
Despite the increasing development of diagnostic questionnaires and therapeutic approaches, Gogoll and Scheibenbogen emphasized that one key issue remains underrecognized: the need to destigmatize long COVID. Because clinical findings are often unremarkable, symptoms are often attributed to psychological causes. Physicians were urged to take individuals seriously, ensure interdisciplinary care, and pursue further training in PAIS.

Biologic Evidence May Reshape Long-COVID Diagnosis and Care
Long COVID does not have a primarily psychosomatic cause, according to the AWMF S1 guideline for Long/Post-COVID.
Psychological comorbidities, including anxiety and depression, should be described as reactive consequences rather than causal factors.
Treatment is symptom oriented and follows a biopsychosocial framework.
Distinguishing PEM from fatigue is critical, with pacing maintained within individual energy limits to prevent symptom worsening.

No #COVID deaths reported in #NYC since the week ending May 2! All the other indicators keep dropping - cases, emergency room visits, emergency room admissions - for #COVID19, the #flu and #RSV. And the COVID #wastewater data for May is out, and it's down too!
#COVIDIsNotOver so I'm enjoying the break, continuing to #WearAMask in pharmacies, doctors' offices, hospitals and nursing homes, and mirroring when I see someone else #MaskUp!
Promising new antiviral Ensitrelvir (Xocova) used for post exposure prophylaxis for Covid-19. When taken within 72 hours of exposure, reduces symptomatic Covid-19 by 67%. The antiviral could cut the risk of not just COVID-19, but also acquiring new diseases triggered by COVID-19, including Long COVID.

Fairly well vetted article in the Boston Globe about Covid-19 SuperDodgers.
The Boston Globe asked readers who believe they’ve never caught the coronavirus to share their experiences. They published a small variety of responses but covered the spectrum. As someone who is more careful than most, it was an interesting read.
Almost as surprising, though there are the usual minimizers and deniers in the comments, there's actually a lot of pushback (I know, never look at the comments):
