If covid infections make you *more vulnerable* to almost every other pathogenic infection by multiple mechanisms, then you'd expect increases in almost every other pathogenic infection.

And that's what we see.

Ten completely unsurprising news stories:

Estimating risk of long COVID using a Bayesian network-based decision support tool

🤔Do you want to know your LC and other C19 risks?( Great Australian work!)👇

➡️"Vaccination, receiving drug treatment within three days of acute infection, and avoiding repeated infections are the greatest modifiable influences of long COVID development, decreasing risk by up to 63 % under modelled scenarios."

➡️Here an "interactive user-friendly web-based decision support tool :
https://t.co/4ptOpfPRV7
enabling easy access to model outputs, and allows individuals to calculate their personalised probability of long COVID under different scenarios of modifiable risk factors."

➡️"The decision-support tool can be used by individuals or in conjunction with clinicians for shared decision-making on vaccination, pursuing early drug treatment during acute infection, and continuing protective behaviors such as masking and social distancing."

➡️"The model can also generate population-level estimates of outcomes to assist public health decision-makers to design better-informed public health policies."

‼️Sit down.......and take the test...... ooooooeps!!.

@RpsAgainstTrump Are the tariffs reckless?

[Ultramõrd Sillu @suunasolkija]

Imagine being so bad at economics that even CNBC anchors start sounding like unhinged Reddit posters. Trump's trade wars are like setting your own house on fire and then blaming the fire department for the heat. At this rate, he'll declare tariffs on oxygen next and call it a 'patriotic lung tax.

Infected people also often can no longer touch cattle, can't be near them, and many can’t be farmers anymore.
