@martinangler But Long COVID/PASC isn't *one* disease -- since some patients in the trials saw dramatic improvements from BC 007, the question should surely be, WHICH type of LC does this treatment work for?

If only we had more funding for this work, we could do that kind of subset analysis

@ninaturner Help Harris beat Trump while staying true to your principles, through vote swapping in swing states:

Join 11,965 (and counting) voters across the country to protest the system AND defeat Trump on Nov 5, 2024.

@Enola_guy12 @incubus_312 I strongly suspect it's like the quant GRE, where there are so many perfect scores that if you make one mistake it bumps your percentile down substantially (say, 3%). I could be wrong, but I bet that's the distribution.

[Rodrigo @carrolltowing]

@Enola_guy12 @incubus_312 I just read that Economist article and did the game, and got 96%.

Although that's a good score, I know exactly the scenario I didn't do as well on -- I hesitated and tried to overthink instead of trusting my gut and thinking holistically.

[Rodrigo @carrolltowing]

@AnnieTehworst @drseanmullen Thanks. Yeah, I was really sad about her reaction because it seemed so anti-intellectual and gaslighting.

And I never talk about C19 w/her -- this was just something I brought up because it overlaps w/her research so I thought she might be interested in this specifically. Sigh.

[Rodrigo @carrolltowing]

@hypoautonomic Possible.
But much more likely that the 95% of Brits who currently think of the C19 pandemic as past tense and live their lives as if C19 is an endemic cold virus wouldn't connect their symptoms w/C19 and would DEF not get tested—&this study only counts LC in people w/+C19 tests.

[Rodrigo @carrolltowing]

@hypoautonomic This KFF survey figure is confusing—how could "ever had long COVID" decrease over time?
That number should be strictly monotonic, and a decrease suggests measurement error.
These self-reports seem to strongly underestimate LC and mostly reflect changes in peoples' mood about LC.

[Rodrigo @carrolltowing]

@ahandvanish Yes, and note there's prob no real "No C19" baseline(esp in UK). Authors defined "No C-19" very broadly to include even *unconfirmed* C19:
"Category 1 was defined as “no Covid-19” (i.e.,the participant had not had SARS-CoV-2 infection or had an unconfirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection)"

[Rodrigo @carrolltowing]

@mino_cappmont @DaniBeckman Those 2 groups are probably actually almost identical, because authors defined "no COVID" very broadly to include even *unconfirmed* C19:
"Category 1 was defined as “no Covid-19” (i.e., the participant had not had SARS-CoV-2 infection or had an unconfirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection)"

[Rodrigo @carrolltowing]

@DaniBeckman Vax helps:
"In an analysis that matched vaccinated groups with unvaccinated groups with regard to demographic characteristics, number of preexisting conditions, & variant period, we observed a small cognitive ADVANTAGE among participants who had received multiple vaccinations"

[Rodrigo @carrolltowing]

@EIFY @DaniBeckman That's probably actually the "never test, pretend COVID isn't happening" group that gets COVID repeatedly but lies to themselves about it -- as COVID damages their brains.

@TeamYouTube Hi, thank you -- yes, it is fixed on my YouTubeTV and can see my recorded movies and such again!

[Rodrigo @carrolltowing]

@YouTubeTV How can I browse my recorded movies without having to search for them? As of today, there is no "movies" tab in my library any more -- only "new for you," "series," and "daily shows."
I had recorded hundreds of movies that I can no longer browse. :(

[Rodrigo @carrolltowing]

@mjs_DC Why try to push out this brilliant jurist, who would inevitably be replaced by someone far less progressive, when Biden has the much more impactful option of #ExpandingTheCourt?

Replacing Sotomayor does nothing. Adding justices would correct McConnell/Trump's brazen misdeeds.

[Rodrigo @carrolltowing]

@TeamYouTube Hi, thanks. I am still seeing a Movies tab option on web and mobile devices, but not on Roku.

I did already relaunch and update the app (and my Roku), but it didn't help.

Biden judicial nominee Sparkle Sooknanan’s work at Jones Day representing the hedge funds trying to extract as much as possible during Puerto Rico’s debt crisis demonstrates the administration’s inseparable ties to BigLaw and big money. @ddayen reports: https://t.co/oO2C19iVx9

[Rodrigo @carrolltowing]

@WStoneReports @julia_doubleday @NPR @patientled I really appreciate the work you're doing to make sure LC is included in a meaningful, non-minimizing way on NPR.

People trust NPR -- with especially good reason in this media landscape -- so it's so important to have great, thoughtful coverage of LC like this on NPR. Thank you.
