Speechless. My heart just got kicked in the chest.
I just answered an unknown number, which I never do. It was the first love of Dale’s life — the woman my best friend had just fallen head-over-heels for.
Two weeks ago he visited me from San Marcos for five days, giddy like a schoolboy. He called her his future wife, smiling nonstop. He was working out daily, feeling stronger than ever.
This morning, he was found deceased.
He’d had one COVID infection over a year ago & had been quietly worried about his heart since.
In his prime, full of life & new love — now gone.
The world lost a kind, loyal man. I’m shattered for his friends & for her.
This is what Long Covid’s lingering damage does. It waits, then steals those finally thriving.
Rest in peace, my dear friend. I love you. I’ll keep fighting. 🙏🙏
Protect your heart. We’ve lost too many. 💔

Covid is spreading again…
My son and I still have more symptoms since last Covid infection in October 2025, meaning a worsening of our baseline from before the last infection.
Why do we get reinfected? Because our family members don’t care about our health, about us.
Call out actual harm, yes.
But attacking people who are masked, cautious, and trying to engage thoughtfully?
That’s not advocacy.
That’s ego.
This doesn’t help our community.
Spain’s players refused to celebrate with Trump after the U.S. president attempted to insert himself into the middle of their victory photo. He was politely pushed aside.
Dipshit doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
The 262 AQI in question correlates with a concentration of 187 ug/m³, which inhaled over a day would equal 8.5 full cigarettes, not two drags

If you think mild or severe COVID-19 only affects your lungs, think again. New genetic data reveals a shocking long-term consequence of infection.
But there is good news: the technology to stop this airborne threat is already being deployed.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly enraged that none of his staffers explained to him that the logic of his speech last night blatantly implied the only rigged election was the one he personally oversaw, and no one stopped him from telling the entire country he’s incompetent.
Amnesty brukade försvara samvetsfångar och dissidenter. Nu upprättar de i stället svarta listor över kvinnorättsorganisationer och organisationer för homosexuella och uppmanar myndigheter att agera mot dem. Det är en häpnadsväckande förvandling.
After calling on Putin and his cronies to resign, Russian journalist Dmitry Borisenko urged Russian citizens to record videos telling the government: “Enough! Leave!”

"As many as 50% of [COVID-19] patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 develop post-acute sequalae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC or Long COVID) within a few months after the initial infection..
Long COVID is characterized by persistent fatigue, which is independent of the initial severity of the infection..
Long-COVID patients suffer from a spectrum of neurological disorders including headache, anosmia, encephalopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and cerebrovascular events;
neurodegenerative changes resembling early Alzheimer's and Parkinson's pathology;
psychiatric disorders including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and sleep disturbances; and
cognitive impairment encompassing brain fog, memory deficits, executive dysfunction, and peripheral neuropathy.
These manifestations arise through multiple mechanisms including direct Spike-protein-driven neuroinflammation, microglial and MC activation, Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) disruption, HPA-axis dysregulation, hypoxia, and immune-mediated injury..
The epidemiological data showing that Omicron variants, despite lower overall Long-COVID prevalence, are disproportionately associated with neurological symptoms including brain fog, is consistent with the neuroimmune mechanisms described here..
SARS-CoV-2 may have direct effects via its S1 protein stimulating of release of pro-inflammatory and vasoactive mediators from MC and microglia that express ACE2..
Indirect evidence of the presence of the S1 protein within the CNS is the detection of anti-S1 protein antibodies in the CSF of two children who died with COVID-19 infection and had subacute neuropsychiatric symptoms..
S1 protein could disrupt the barrier function in an in-vitro model of the BBB and that the S1 protein can actually cross the BBB and enter the brain in mice.."
We cannot realize brain dysfunction because of brain dysfunction.

An Italian group took stomach lining biopsies from people with Long COVID and counted the nerve fibers in them. Under endoscopy the mucosa looked normal. Under a fluorescence microscope, roughly half the fibers were gone.🧵
As a Ukrainian soldier, thank you to everyone still standing with us after four years.
The world has a short attention span. You didn't.
