@JoePajak Hi Joe!
Cannot promise I have anything terribly interesting to post, but thank you for following me. Also, thank you very much for continuing to raise attention to Covid, as well as providing graphs, etc.

A Tsunami of Disability Is Coming as a Result of ‘Long COVID’

We need to plan for a future where millions of survivors are chronically ill

Scientific American
I just want to share COVID info, be witty, and amplify voices that need it. That's all I've wanted to do on social media throughout the pandemic. But friends, lemme tell you, I am not good at being a punching bag even for people with whom I empathize.
A surge in absentee students might require a radical rethink of schools

Educators need to figure out why so many kids are missing class — and potentially reshape education to get them learning again.

The Washington Post

Somebody said Threads feels like the first week of school when everyone is giddy and excited to see each other.

Twitter is like 3:30 PM in the parking lot of the Mini Mart, with a bully and his target encircled by group of riled up kids yelling "Fight! Fight!".

Let's be clear. SARS-CoV-2 is an atrociously bad virus. It can damage any number of organ systems, increases risk for all kinds of illnesses, and is causing a mass disabling event. And that's just what we know about it so far. You do not want to get it, and if you've had it you don't want it again.
