Ever wonder how you sound when you speak in Spaces?
Can people hear you without having to exhaust themselves?

It's free & browser and mobile friendly.
And, for what it's worth, "wired" beats "bluetooth" every single time.
🧵OF KEY CONCERNS
We've now read Alan Levinovitz's WIRED piece on Long Covid.
Our concern isn't that it discusses psychological theories.
Our concern is that it repeatedly conflates criticism of evidence with creating a "climate of fear".
Those are not the same thing. /1

🔗 Bio
As a clinical health psychologist, I notice that many people are using psychological defense mechanisms to downplay the risk of COVID.
These are my Top 7 examples:
🧵
"An estimated 10–20% of people infected with COVID-19 develop Long COVID, with cumulative global incidence approaching 400 million people..."
A stat from 2023 is still being bandied about in 2026.
Where are we now?
400M, 800M, 50M?
The PCR positivity map is out, national positivity has reached under 1%, and few areas are over 5%.
We have Scottish data this week too - next release will be in a month - and levels look minimal.
