I was interviewed for this article. Another bill not covered by insurance came from UCI Long COVID Clinic since. “Others may not be so lucky and may be forced to pay for most of their care out of pocket. That's what happened to Amy Cook, 51, of Orange County, California.”

NBC News: 'Long Covid patients face medical debt after insurance denies claims'

'Millions in the U.S. are out of work because of severe long Covid symptoms, and many are struggling to pay their medical bills. Here's how to navigate insurance coverage.'

“The California Department of Fish and Wildlife said its officers had shot and killed the animal…Neighbors said that in recent weeks, they had spotted the same coyote in their yards, limping and appearing to suffer”

i don’t say this lightly but Lutnick very much appears to be a traitor and needs to be both fired and investigated immediately.

@__Granuaile__ Spoke too soon. Brutal headache eating dinner. Laying on floor now and it goes away. Hopefully tomorrow back to normal LC headache. 😬

Long COVID since ‘22. Lumbar puncture results starting to come in with new labs.
Mild my ass. Rest of CSF results will take awhile. Hypogammaglobulinemia diagnosis previously from low IgG labs.

High interferon gamma
Low IL-2
CSF cell count abnormal
CSF nucleated cells high

@__Granuaile__ It didn’t impact my usual headache. Little lower back stiffness. Medical team did great. I opted not to go under anesthesia. So no crud from that. Thanks for asking.

A Tomb Guard from the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Regiment, “The Old Guard” was forced to verbally reprimand Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and loudly talked in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington.

Video of the incident, posted by CNN, shows Hegseth standing and taking photos in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver as well as senior adviser and deputy assistant Tami Radabaugh, following a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day.

The US Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier admonished Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and talked near the solemn memorial following a Veterans Day ceremony.

“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.” the sentinel called out, stopping his patrol to face the group as they departed.

@lcbarbarian I have smaller dehydrater. We have blood orange tree - the slices look like stained glass when you candy, then dehydrate them. Simple syrup bonus by product. Have you done candied rhubarb? I wouldn’t put in drink - balance on top because crispy texture is amazing.

For a piece in the Guardian, I'm looking to speak to booksellers/bookshops about what they're doing with their remaining David Walliams stock, and parents who have his books at home/have children who are fans. Drop me an email at [email protected] #journorequest

@lcbarbarian Immunology department only interested in retesting allergy that I had prior to infection. They denied retesting my IgE even after telling me it may increase cancer risk. Uncurious bastards - get in your lane. So neurologist is my only hope in answers.

“Brittany’s case demonstrates a pattern,” writes Justine van der Leun. “Criminalized survivors are not protected by the state when they are victims, but as soon as they do wrong, the state reemerges as resource-rich and competent to punish them.”

First, an article about how 40 years of polling shows that one of the most popular consistently polled positions in American politics across basically all demographics is this: people want to shift resources away from police and prisons to social services: https://t.co/CgASBDzrZU

I used to ride motorcycles, scuba dive, climb mountains, run ultra marathons. Now I am lucky to do a few chores. One infection did this and I took Paxlovid. We are not recovering. Culling the herd.

Summary of the H5N1 situation.

The USDA is now reporting infected herds in 6 states (up from just 1 or 2 states not that long ago).
