Vonada's Engineering Maxims:
1. There is no such thing as ground.
2. Digital circuits are made from analog parts.
3. Prototype designs always work.
4. Asserted timing conditions are designed first; unasserted timing conditions are found later.

I’ve made this summary of the latest Long Covid research (condensed for a phone screen) in an attempt to help inform and communicate the biological nature of this horrible condition.

This graph is a draft for a Long Covid paper I'm working on. The paper will be a while, but I think it's important that people - and policy makers - understand the implications now.

It is *very* serious.

Body transfer illusion

The illusion of owning a part/or entire body other than one's own

We are all fed up with Covid, but it’s here, and to protect ourselves and our families we need to face it.

And it actually requires minimal effort to reduce the risks.

Let’s start with what to do if you get Covid…

Our new study shows that data availability statements are not very useful; 1670 (93%) authors who indicated that data are available on request either did not respond or declined to share their data with us. Journal of Clinical Epidemiology: https://t.co/4IT2Dgphl4
