Is Covid Rewriting the Rules of Aging? Brain Decline Alarms Doctors

Millions of long-Covid patients continue to struggle with cognitive difficulties

More Australian doctors are leaving general practice to open long COVID clinics as demand surges.

GPs say they lack the time to diagnose the growing number of patients.

Specialists report wait times of up to 12 months due to a shortage of GPs trained in recognising long COVID symptoms.

ich zweifle sehr den Inhalt dieser Meldung und die Aussagen des Virologen an. Kinder sind, durch Long/Post-COVID, eine Risikogruppe!
Die Folgeerkrankungen nach einer Infektion (oder multipler) sind durch mannigfaltige Studien gezeigt worden - auch bei Kindern.

Ich verweise hiermit auf die geehrten Kolleg:innen:

Danke @wirsindverdi!

Endlich nimmt sich eine Gewerkschaft des Themas #COVID19 und seiner Folgen #LongCOVID, #PostCOVID, #MECFS an.

Übrigens: #CovidIsNotOver. Für niemanden.

Looking back on my comics from 2022, and realizing it really is as simple as this:
Mandate N95s vs Mandate COVID-19. The real Smokey Bear would #WearAMask #n95 because #CovidIsNotOver #LongCOVID and would require #MasksInHealthcare
For more free Covid Awareness Works visit https://the-maskers-comic.yolasite.com/
Smokey vs CDC Smokey
Smokey Bear says mandate n-95 masks; CDC Smokey says Mandate COVID-19
US Mask Deaths: 0 cumulative: 0 daily
US COVID Deaths (2022): Over 1.1 Million cumulative; 500 daily
N95s and their equivalents, also known as respirators, are the best masks for Omicron sub-variants and dan reduce the risk if COVID 19 infection 75-fold when an infected person and someone nearby both wear them. CDC expects that anyone with Omicron infection, regardless of vaccination status or whether or not they have symptoms, can spread the virus to others. Data suggests that Omicron can reinfect individuals, even if they've recently recovered from COVID-19.


I came across this tool in which you can calculate your risk of going to the hospital or developing long(er) term symptoms due to your next Covid infection. It's not perfect (there are a couple of risk increasing illnesses missing in the list) but interesting nonetheless:

New study shows that COVID may damage your immune system for a year post infection.

This is the problem with ignoring a pandemic in favour of a “you do you” approach.

There’s so much Covid that most people get it at least once per year. Their immune systems don’t have time to recover before they become infected again.

Disability advocates have been screaming about this for years. We beg people to mask up for their own protection and to make public spaces safer and more accessible for us.

We don’t yet know what the long term prognosis will be after 5, 10 or 15+ infections.

Wear a mask. Clean and ventilate the air. Do your part to minimize the spread.

Hey! Are you in the USA, near-ish to Virginia? Do you (or someone you know) have any of:
  • hypersomnia
  • complex sleep disturbances
  • postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS?
Trials are open for treatments for these symptoms!
Those interested in participating in the trials can contact the clinic for screening to see if they are eligible. The team can be reached via email at covidtrialsuva@uvahealth.org, or by phone at 434-243-4008 or toll-free at 855-882-5334.
and they seem like good folks:
“We see patients coming in who are frustrated because they look fairly normal, but they cannot fully function and are not being believed,” she said. “So, for those people, I want to say this is truly a disease and you are not imagining anything.”

Fantastic news! Long Covid research grants restored due to the efforts of advocates all over the country.

Never let anyone silence you or convince you that your voice doesn’t matter.

We all have power, and even those of us who are disabled can make a difference in our own way.

Speak up, demand accountability and work together. Change is possible!

Hell, even if someone wants to wear a mask to avoid pollen (due to hayfever) that should be okay!

And it should definitely be okay to wear a mask to avoid a virus! (flu, Covid, etc)

No. Mask. Bans. Ever!

Reposting link for broader exposure, I hope you don't mind. Significant article. Regrettable 'prove you're human' gatekeeping, but worth surmounting the harassment.

Long Covid will cost the economy trillions of dollars. The economic devastation of a mass disabling event can not be overstated.

Yet more funding has been cut, including to a project that was nearing completion.

The reason? Its a “waste of time”

The only reason to believe this is because you don’t care about Covid, you certainly don’t care about Long Covid and you’re preparing to leave the chronically ill behind.

@auscovid19 Speaking from personal experience, the mental health case burden in college health at our local university has significantly worsened compared to 10-15 yrs ago, and it keeps getting worse every year since the beginning of the pandemic.

Hey #RFKJr, you say you want to study #ChronicIllness. Well, I have one! It was caused by #COVID19, and now you want to close the office that studies #LongCovid?

'I'm mourning my old life due to long Covid'

You know what might actually help some of us work? A council-run trades service.

I need a weekly cleaner who will actually turn up. I need a plasterer without the ringing round trying to get quotes. I need a decorator without the searching and trying to get recommendations. I need someone I can call to change lightbulbs I can't safely reach and hook the curtain back on its rings.

I'd happily pay the going rate for the work if it got rid of the headaches.

Wenn Bundespräsident #Steinmeier über die nötige “Aufarbeitung” der #Corona-#Pandemie spricht, klingt das so, als wollte er noch den letzten Querdenker besänftigen. Wann und wie wird eigentlich wieder der #Covid-Toten gedacht (letzte Gedenkfeier war bei 80.000 Toten 2021, jetzt sind es mehr als doppelt so viele), wie werden deren Angehörige, Menschen mit #LongCovid “abgeholt”? Wie wird gewürdigt, dass Zehntausende Menschen nur wegen Pflegekräften, Hygienemaßnahmen, Impfungen noch am Leben sind?


Oh, I'm on the front page of Rolling Stone right now, kinda. Guess I picked a bad moment to look at my phone. Don't be me. Don't look at your phone lol.

As far as I know, I've only had COVID once. It was a "mild" case. It didn't feel any worse than a cold and a bit of a sore throat for me. And even though I was fully vaccinated, took Paxlovid right away, and rested very very hard for three months (going to bed whenever I felt even the slightest bit tired), I still ended up with long COVID. I was strong and healthy before. I trained five days a week at the gym and yoga studio and hiked on weekends.

I'm scared shitless about getting COVID again. I'm one of the very few people I know who still masks regularly. #LongCovidAwarenessDay #LongCovid #Covid #MaskUp


I was an athlete for years. I did fitness competitions, trail running, mountain running, obstacle course races, interprovincial bicycling, hiking, and martial arts. I was a professional dancer, an aerialist, a model, and a LARPer. These days, I spend the vast majority of my time sitting down. I go to the gym a couple of times a week and try to go for walks every day, but if I exert too much or think too hard for too long, I'm exhausted.

This is not the normal feeling of being tired after a grueling workout. It's not a mind over matter thing. It's the kind of fatigue you feel when you're sick or dealing with a nasty injury. #LongCovidAwarenessDay #LongCovid #PostExertionalMalaise #ChronicIllness


Because of long COVID, my dad will never walk on the beach again. He can no longer play accordion or guitar because of long COVID.

Because of long COVID, I am no longer a martial artist, dancer, distance runner, or athlete. I no longer feel energetic. I no longer have proper restful sleep. I have aged rapidly. #LongCovidAwarenessDay #LongCovid #ChronicIllness

It’s International Long Covid Awareness Day, and my latest article looks at the reasons why people believe they don’t know anyone with Long Covid.

We desperately need increased visibility into this debilitating chronic illness so that we can raise awareness and fund treatments, mitigations and cures.

Anyone can get Long Covid. It’s not limited to ‘only the vulnerable’ or those who had a severe initial infection.

This disease does not discriminate. Even people with asymptomatic initial infections have found themselves disabled by Long Covid.

It’s time we start processing the trauma of the pandemic and stop living in denial.

We are in the middle of a mass disabling event, and the longer it takes us to admit that, the more people will be harmed.

Let’s spread the word that the only way to avoid Long Covid is to avoid getting Covid in the first place.

Wear a mask. Stay home when sick. Clean and ventilate the air.

When we all agree to care about the air we share, we can begin to bring about real change.

“Ultimately, you are on your own.” A qualitative analysis of barriers to health care from the perspective of patients with long COVID — Sabine Hammer et al.
"The study shows that there are currently no adequate care concepts and structures for post-infectious illnesses and that activating therapies, mostly in connection with the assumption of a psychosomatic origin, lead to significant malpractice. The finding that the majority of respondents feel weakened, ashamed or harmed by their physicians is particularly dramatic. The data also provide evidence of systematic stigmatization and discrimination against those affected."


I wrote a guest article for Healthy Debate that looks at why we need mandatory masks in healthcare, why surgical masks aren’t enough, and how the mounting threats to public health are putting lives at risk.

If you’re a healthcare worker, mask up.

Show us you take your oath to “do no harm” seriously
