I don't eat red meat.
This is why.
You can eat meat.
I'm cool with that.

So pleased to report that our Mount Sinai-Yale long COVID (MY-LC) paper with @putrinolab & others is now published!! Proud of the hard work of all who contributed. We found biological signatures that can distinguish people with vs. without #longCOVID (1/) https://t.co/t8ARWBKLsQ

"We never had those data" - 5 words that inspired the creation of @COVID19Tracking
Why didn't we have more tests? Why didn't we have better data? We answer these Qs in our investigation of the failed federal response to COVID-19 in our series with @reveal https://t.co/ownzZw82ba

"In a chilling finding, the report says when it came to tracking Covid-19 cases in the United States, researchers at The Atlantic magazine’s @COVID19Tracking did a better job in real-time than the CDC did."

Thank you so much for hearing us. I hope many more follow your lead. Academics and clinicians have the biggest leverage to change this whole situation for the better.

Update: Just learned I have THREE friends who are women about my age & (prior) health status whose lives have been completely upended by the misery of Long Covid. Surfing to sofa sitting. Marathons to twice-a-day naps. Productive to long-term disability leave.

I’ll keep masking.

@lshultz82 That’s the LAST place I’d put anything, especially from him.

@NaNoWordSprints Upheaval happened! 589

Some patients with long COVID show dysfunction in the immune system for at least 8 months post-infection even if the acute case was mild.

@NaNoWordSprints Hit 25k in that last sprint (the bird sprint).

[Carol Brandmaier-Monahan @cbrandmona]

@NaNoWordSprints Crossed 25,000 words on that one - all about people being turkeys !

@NaNoWordSprints 575 - was already writing another scene about confusion 😝

I recently came across data on who we spend our time with over the course of our lives.

The insights are simultaneously inspiring and depressing.

Here are 6 graphs everyone needs to see:

This is big news that isn't being reported widely enough: The Supreme Court has ruled that the TSA can issue mask mandates on planes, trains and other forms of transport.

@itsbodypolitic is an amazing resource for those with #LongCovid. As the number of people with #LongCovid increases, the more @itsbodypolitic is needed. Take a peek - support if you can!

[BODY POLITIC @itsbodypolitic]

An update from our Board about our current situation & an ask for our community: to be blunt, our financial situation is dire.
We estimate Body Politic, including our Slack support group, will cease to exist by early 2023 without funding (goal: $500k) https://t.co/IH260glR2t

@NaNoWordSprints First foray into the wilds!!! Ack!

[Nicolas @Atipico1996]

Excess deaths are completely out of control in England. 1,646 registered in the last week, 31,929 registered in the last six months.

COVID and LongCovid are destroying the country.

@NaNoWordSprints On the seat of my pants!!
