From Yale Medicine:

"Long COVID, ME/CFS and the Importance of Studying Infection-Associated Illnesses"

"Research on Long COVID may also shine light on the underlying causes of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, or ME/CFS."

Four years after COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic, Yahoo Canada spoke with several people still living with LongCovid - read their stories below

The Quebec Health minister looked a tad freaked today announcing 10 confirmed cases of measles in the province with at least 3 determined to be community spread

1 case of measles can exponentially spread, R012-15, to 216 cases within 12 days - with each new case compounding

Quebec MMR immunization is 80% - far below the 95% considered necessary for community protection

Clusterfuck with Covid

1 confirmed measles case in BC

This is a pretty incredible piece of work impacting #LongCovid future treatments that I just made my neuroscientist wife explain to me. Potentially a big finding and here's a good readable summary:

The virus persists but so do scientists <3

Bernie Sanders: "Each reinfection increases the risk of developing Long COVID. If you are under the impression that once you've gotten COVID you never need to worry about it again, you are mistaken."

Any experts on the #canadian #disability system?
It looks likely that I will be looking at #LTD and the death of my audio career. I need some advice and a rundown of what it's *actually* like to go through.

Bonus if you have navigated the system with #cfs or #longcovid, as that's what's got me.

An excellent video with Akiko Iwasaki (Sterling Professor of Immunobiology at Yale), Ziyad Al-Aly (Director of the Clinical Epidemiology Center at the VA St. Louis Health Care System), and Michael Peluso (Assistant Professor, Medicine at UCSF), moderated by Bob Wachter (Chair of the Department of Medicine, UCSF)
