The risk of developing long COVID is higher in people who do not get adequate rest . Avoid exercise or physical activity during infection and in the weeks afterward. Rest and pacing yourself are essential to treating chronic fatigue syndrome, a common symptom of long COVID .

RTHM, a clinic that treat long covid also says:
“Do Not Push Yourself – Rest, Rest, Rest
When we tend to get sick, we don’t always give our body the time it needs to rest. Other family members need attention, work needs that report by the end of the day, or the laundry needs done. Unfortunately, in the case of COVID and your risk of Long COVID, rest is just as essential as any of the medications and supplements RTHM recommends. Rest is a crucial part of the recovery process when dealing with acute COVID-19. Here’s why:
Energy Conservation – The body uses a significant amount of energy to fight off infections. Rest allows the body to focus its energy on the immune response, rather than other activities. This can help the body fight off the virus more effectively.
Immune System Support – Sleep and rest can boost the immune system, making it more effective at fighting off infections. During sleep, the body produces certain proteins called cytokines that can help the body respond to infections.
Symptom Management – Rest can also help manage symptoms of COVID-19. Fatigue and weakness are common symptoms of the disease, and rest can help alleviate these.
Mental Health – Dealing with an illness can be stressful. Rest can help reduce stress and improve mental well-being, which is important for overall health and recovery.
Healing and Recovery – During rest, your body works to heal and recover. This is when the body repairs tissues and cells and carries out other regenerative processes.”

We still have a large number of N-95/KN95 masks at home, but we've been through half of our stash (both of us still mask regularly). Time to stock up before their sale is banned in the US (with this federal government it wouldn't shock me).

😷❣️♿️Today is a good day to practice community care! Disabled lives deserve to be cared for, just like all oppressed lives. Wearing a mask is putting this idea into practice. I wish you all a wonderful day, may mutual support and solidarity inhabit your practices and hearts. And may complicity with eugenics burn. Let's oppose the culture of trivializing infections.

My recommendation: start wearing a mask outdoors in your neighborhood, take a walk, and start getting used to the feeling again!

I also recommend being able to be in communities of people who wear masks, especially online, but also in person in some places! search your mask bloc in @maskbloc.org and I'm always available to chat and try to support you through this process, which I know is a difficult transition. My telegram is demianmasks.

Whenever someone makes you feel like you're exaggerating, please remember that COVID causes disability and death. In my case, my life is miserable because of persistent COVID. Not everyone knows the great work you're doing by wearing a mask, but we know it's the right thing to do, and that's why we practice it.

• 50% of COVID infections are asymptomatic.
• AT LEAST 10% of infections end in persistent COVID.
• Vaccines don't prevent infections.
• Reinfections destroy us. There's no way to "train" the immune system because it's not a muscle. The reality is that you don't build your immunity with repeated infections. Vaccines strengthen the immune system by teaching it to recognize pathogens without all the risks. Focusing on infection prevention is key.
• Antigen tests give false negatives. The way to know if you have COVID is with a PCR test.

Long Covid-19 Weakens Immunity In Children, Increases Risk Of Infections: Study

“The cold truth of the matter is that the motive behind COVID minimization is greed and social control. (…) Solving the pandemic was never in the cards for the capitalist world. Instead, the explicit goal of the ruling class has been to make the pandemic simply disappear from public perception.” Let Them Eat Plague! http://clarion.unity-struggle-unity.org/

Greater than one-fifth of NZ children reported persisting symptoms after Covid-19 infection. Post-Covid-19 symptoms impacted the quality of children's day-to-day lives. Preventing infection is key to preventing post-Covid-19 symptoms.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jpc.70104

Summary

-Long Covid is the continuation or development of new symptoms after an acute Covid-19 infection that cannot be explained by an alternative diagnosis. Research into the long-term impacts of Covid-19 in children and young people is emerging.
-This cross-sectional survey reports that greater than one-fifth of NZ children had ongoing symptoms that they did not have prior to having Covid-19.
-The proportion of children in the survey who reported good or very good health reduced from 82.6% before NZ's two large Omicron waves to 66.9% after these waves, with changes in health significantly more frequent in those who had a Covid-19 infection compared with those who had not.
Post-Covid-19 symptoms are impacting the quality of children's day-to-day lives.

Immunity Debt: The Conspiracy Theory Elevated to Popular Pseudoscience That Is Making Children Sick

https://lilscience.substack.com/p/immunity-debt-the-conspiracy-theory

The concept of “Immunity Debt” was adopted to explain global surges in respiratory virus illness during the 2022-23 cold and flu season. The problem is, it was only recently invented and there is no evidence that supports “Immunity Debt” as being responsible for our earlier and more severe respiratory virus seasons.

As we face another early increase in respiratory virus infections and heightened severity of these infections with “white lung syndrome” filling pediatric emergency rooms, finally, the hypothesis of “Immunity Debt” is finally falling flat.

The term “Immunity Debt” started in the shadowy realm of COVID-19 conspiracy theories as a justification for why people should not wear masks to avoid infection with respiratory viruses.

Note the wildly flawed logic of simultaneously proclaiming that masks don’t work but also work so well they cause “Immunity Debt”.
