And today @espn moves away from showing the @iga_swiatek and @alex_eala match at critical juncture to show zverev/giron. #toxictennistv @christophclarey @Served_Podcast @TennisPodcast

[Brain Frog @NearFights]

@christophclarey Yes @christophclarey. Any thoughts on why @espn showing Gauff match on two channels and @SabalenkaA nowhere?

[Brain Frog @NearFights]

@dccb31 Yes @dccb31! Poor decisionmaking @espn. Put @SabalenkaA on TV!

[Brain Frog @NearFights]

@Beachic @espn Agree! Where is the number 1 player in woman’s tennis, @espn ??? @SabalenkaA @TheAthletic @TennisPodcast @Served_Podcast

[Brain Frog @NearFights]

.@espn was supposed to switch over to Australian Open at 8pm. But hasn’t, once again. Put college gymnastics and basketball on espnU when they run over. @Disney doesn’t deserve to broadcast this tournament. @TennisChannel @TheAthletic @TennisPodcast @SamQuerrey @Served_Podcast

An exciting new oral antiviral for SARS-CoV-2!

A NEW study presents the systematic design of quinoline-containing SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (#PLpro) inhibitors as potential oral antiviral drug candidates to treat Covid-19 patients 1/

Published. Persistence of Virus must be addressed. 16M affected! So many questions. What is the cause—the infection or the vaccine or both? Is Spike the culprit? How do we treat it? Consequences of persistence? Will this be the next HPV? Could it have been prevented? #LongCovid

I am excited to be part of this paper: "Targeting the SARS-CoV-2 reservoir in long COVID" by @microbeminded2 @MichaelPelusoMD and team, describing clinical trial recommendations for long COVID

@LCawarenessInt @catsocialintel Love Cure Long Covid Now … because we need to trial treatments. And it is a strong call to action. Thanks!

Great piece from @mileswgriffis & @thesicktimes

“Despite.. the many challenges of studying.. #LongCovid, scientists may be closing in on biomarkers..

Immunologist Van Weyenbergh identified.. a potential blood-based biomarker for LC with 94% sensitivity”https://t.co/j7qVFQBrFX

Muscle weakness is one symptom of post-exertional malaise (PEM).

This is experienced by those with:
1. Long COVID
2. ME/CFS
3. TBI
4. MS

Data suggests this is to blame...🧵

[Brain Inflammation Collaborative @BrainInflCollab]

\ The Discovery:
Scientists at Washington University in St Louis discovered that neuroinflammation causes neurons to make IL-6.

The IL-6 communicates with skeletal muscles to cause profound muscle fatigue.

Here is how...

\ Therapeutic Potential:
The FDA approved 4 IL-6 monoclonal antibodies:
- Satralizumab
- Tocilizumab
- Siltuximab
- Sarilumab

Could they restore mitochondrial function in Long COVID and ME/CFS patients?
