@KenV54 @FndNope @KenV54 have you seen much long covid or ME/CFS since 2020?

[Jakov Miroslavić, PhD @jakovmrc]

@vi_toka Are they in the center of your vision or in peripheral vision? or both

[Jakov Miroslavić, PhD @jakovmrc]

@vi_toka Can you describe what exactly you see?

[Jakov Miroslavić, PhD @jakovmrc]

@alfwarrior Right, but everything you've said in your thread could be applied to MERS and used to prove that MERS is not airborne and that healthcare workers dont need respirators.
Given how often h'care workers got Ebola I dont know why theres such resistance to sending them N95s as well

@alfwarrior This is inconsistent with MERS, which is airborne but has R < 1

@chydorina How did you figure out that you have ME in the end?

[Jakov Miroslavić, PhD @jakovmrc]

@surf4children For the first 12 months of seeing my long covid doc I only ever communicated via written notes. Actually talked to him for the first time much later.

[Jakov Miroslavić, PhD @jakovmrc]

@NeleHelena Its so strange. Many years ago I had sports injury which gave me chronic pain, the sports doctor prescribed the explain pain method, which is close to the mind-body method, but my doc was open that it doesnt work for everyone and if not he can do me a corticosteroid injection

[Jakov Miroslavić, PhD @jakovmrc]

@vi_toka I know you dont have ME but a lot of pwME describe a feeling like being poisoned.

[BioAbundance @BioAbundancellc]

The Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak presents a significant challenge, with PPE doffing errors.

Why aren't we deploying high-intensity Far-UVC portals outside Ebola hot zones to reduce contamination before doffing?

[Jakov Miroslavić, PhD @jakovmrc]

@HelenBranswell How many of them got post-ebola syndrome (Long Ebola?). Surely we're not going to repeat the mistakes of covid thinking that staying alive means everything is fine

[Jakov Miroslavić, PhD @jakovmrc]

@TheMemeticist Maybe because all those cases have been detected very recently and not enough time has passed for them to die

[Jakov Miroslavić, PhD @jakovmrc]

@alfwarrior @LazarusLong13 @happyhexer eg the idea that touching the body at this funeral is how these people got it is an ASSUMPTION, it doesnt rule out an airborne superspreader event https://t.co/ymlHbC6JbT

[Jonathan's translucent form @jmcrookston]

Hmm if "X" means they touched the body, how'd all those people without X catch it?

https://t.co/hrje2UdZAh

(Also, in no way does asking people if they touched a body prove it was touching body that got them infected. Sure looks like might have been *the event* hmm)

[Jakov Miroslavić, PhD @jakovmrc]

@alfwarrior @LazarusLong13 @happyhexer Rafa Toledo have you considered that people are falling for the Semmelweis reflex? ie the case studies of Ebola superspreader events at hospitals or funerals where people say "they mustve all touched the body", well we dont KNOW that. It couldve also been airborne superspreaders

“Vitalik and the Balvi Fund have been incredible supporters of both PolyBio and the broader Long COVID research space over the years,” said Dr. Amy Proal, President of PolyBio Research Foundation. 3/

Ebola is not a disease that should be chased around the world after it spreads.

Once transmission enters the global transportation network, it can move to anywhere and from there everywhere. Effective management means acting before that happens.
