@kadamssl I’m at a small private institution in Virginia. While
My uni does nothing, as a faculty administrator I would be happy to be an advocate for and on behalf of anyone else who is aware/informed. I see a few students masking on occasion, but nothing consistent.

@BlakeMMurdoch is a true hero for these times 💙

@MVGutierrezMD Wish you could have reviewed for me in place of reviewer #2 who referred to LC as “a mass hysteria phenomenon.” 😩

@DALupton @ejustin46 Seriously!

11 months later, finally a Reject on my latest paper on #Covid and #LongCovid. Hard not to suspect bias with comments like:

"...the possibility of a mass hysteria phenomenon, is still a plausible explanation"

"...by 2024, both COVID and long COVID seem a long way behind us"

🙄

@loscharlos These are real comments I received this week from peer reviewers on a paper about long COVID.

@cv_cev Also, @Loretta_Torrago has written a lot about this too.

@cv_cev If communication was not impaired, then neither was ability to show empathy, as empathy is all about listening and skillful reflection.

@JessicaCalarco I requested your book at my library and just got confirmation they ordered it. I am so excited to read it, knowing it’s going to make me mad as hell! 🤣

Have you ever thrown a book across the room?

Given that WHO has said 1 in 10 infections will lead to long COVID, it’s likely that some of these athletes will leave not with medals, but chronic health issues that require care and knowledge for any continued athletic participation.

And another one…
(Cue the replies saying “this happens every Olympics! or It’s a cold! or Healthy athletes don’t need to worry about covid!)

Ventilation, testing, and recommending + making available N95s for high risk areas could’ve helped. #Olympics is failing these athletes.

@baddestmamajama Im so sorry 😞❤️

[Birdie, PhD, MA 🦚 @HealthyWV]

@iamrodneysmith Don’t hesitate to use the resources available and get involved early in extracurriculars . Professors are your best and most understand-utilized resource, and many love to get to know students outside of class, so attend office hours and form relationships with your faculty. ❤️

@KO_Reis86 So well deserved! Congratulations!
