Money went to "AI", not air filters, companies discriminating against covid-safety promoting brain-fog, "AI" was supposed to swoop-in to the rescue but the covers are getting pulled back on the chat-bots, healthcare costs rising like a space x rocket, left holding huge bag

Re: women & heart attacks

Add to this “living with covid”….

[Conor Browne @brownecfm]

3. Ableism: 'Long Covid only affects people with a certain psychological profile'. FALSE.

Underpinning this toxic combination of denial and ableism is fear.

If you can't look at the reality of Long Covid head-on, it's because on a deep level that reality terrifies you.

WHY DID NONE OF YALL TELL ME THAT THIS BOOK EXISTED

[tern @1goodtern]

I keep seeing people saying "I don't believe the data that says there's not much Covid around, there are loads of stories of people catching it at the moment".

Yes, but you're not seeing *as many* stories of people catching it at the moment.
Yes, it's around. Low Covid does not mean No Covid.

But here in the UK *every single possible metric* is indicating that there are historically low levels. We're still doing 20k PCR tests in England each week as a base level, plus more when there are more cases. Scotland has wastewater.

Tests, cases, admissions, deaths, wastewater, positivity are all tracking at the same rates - and it's very hard to manipulate one without manipulating all of them, and there's no need to, because 99% of the population don't care what the levels are.

I buy and hand out tests to people in our local community myself. The positives on those tests track quite closely to national numbers.

Some people are then arguing that it means that tests aren't picking up cases.

Well, that doesn't make sense either, because we've just had a wave that hit kids here, and the tests picked those up fine.

The final thing is:
What does low mean?

'Low' in terms of Covid doesn't mean *none*.

There are more Covid cases confirmed at the moment each week than Measles cases... but Measles cases are 'High'.

Covid cases are *low for Covid*.
Low Covid does not mean No Covid.

It just means that it's not overwhelming healthcare right now.

Low Covid does not mean that I'm stopping masking, or stopping any other mitigations that I've had in place for six years. It just means that there's not as much around as at other times.
Which would be a particularly daft time to catch it.

If one person think SARS-CoV-2 means "common cold", and another person knows COVID-19 is a life-span altering vascular disease, we are living in two very different realities my friend

Absolutely staggering drop in Healthy Life Expectancy in Sweden according to Eurostat.

From 73.3 years of healthy life expectancy down to 66.2.

*Sweden*.

Can no one understand how much trouble we're in?

My sister has lost 6 friends in 3 years. (30s/40s)

Six.

Another heart attack / sudden death yesterday 💔

People dropping dead everywhere yet the masses want to desperately normalize this, instead of admitting they were wrong to let COVID rip!

Now it’s nothing but RIP🪦

As a neurologist, it is now patently clear to me that the vast majority of people on the planet are suffering from neuroinflammation or brain damage (likely both)

The way people speak & behave has changed. Markedly so.

Whether irl, or via messaging/social media. It’s noticeable

[Kathryn @kadamssl]

Anyone want to guess how many patients a resident sees in three weeks?

How about a nurse?
An anesthesiologist?
A surgeon?

Do you want to be the patient of a surgeon who is in their “three week post COVID lobotomy” phase?

I sure don’t.

[James Throt MBBS, MD, PhD, FRCPath @JamesThrot]

Much of SARS-CoV-2’s harm is neurological. It hits the part of your brain that enables you to even recognise any kind of impairment you may be suffering from. It’s called anosognosia

This can even stop you from recognising physical illness/disability

Are you sure you’re “fine”?

[tern @1goodtern]

Just a note on this.

The ukhsa consistently claimed that strep outbreak was due to immunity debt.

When the number of child deaths hit *sixty*, they stopped publishing the numbers.

They lied, and children died.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

Hey leftists, it’s ok to discuss disagreements about strategy, but if you say people who take COVID precautions:

- are too scared to leave the house

- demand that everyone to mask 24/7

- are terrified of a just a "cold"

You are using far right anti-science talking points.

[PACO @PacoOnPause]

This alone should be ringing alarm bells. There are people who are working in high stakes professions who are working through cognitive impairments caused by covid. And the current gameplan is for everyone to keep getting reinfected over and over again.

I’m a lecturer whose university was one of the last to go online. I caught Covid just before the first lockdown & now have long Covid. Some of my colleagues & students caught Covid in that early period too. One colleague died, one was hospitalised. A student had liver failure.

It shouldn't surprise anyone that infections can trigger cancers. It also shouldn't be a surprise that repetitive infections with a very contagious airborne virus can trigger high cancer rates in young people. #LongCovid
