The same person also told both of us (wearing our masks) how they'd had Covid but recovered and were glad things are "better now" because so much mass mask wearing meant "children didn't learn how to smile." Wait, babies don't innately smile?! And what? Why were parents and children masking at home for dinner? What the fuck? What is wrong with these people? They work in the National Health Service! Another reminder that the NHS is not itself immune to misinformation, disinformation, or ideology either, for that matter. Masks work. Masks are good. Not enough people wear them. They are a weapon against Covid, and eugenics, and fascism. #MaskUp #CovidIsNotOver

The Sick Times - Chronicling the Long Covid crisis · This surgeon fuses people’s skulls to their spines to treat a rare complication of myalgic encephalomyelitis - The Sick TimesA growing number of doctors agree that a minority of people with severe ME are like Brea: Some of their symptoms are caused by cranio-cervical instability linked to connective tissue disorders. Viruses including SARS-CoV-2 have been shown to degrade connective tissue, Ruhoy points out, which could be a big issue for people with Long COVID and those getting multiple SARS-CoV-2 infections.

BioMed CentralPost COVID-19 among young adults– prevalence and associations with general health, stress, and lifestyle factors - BMC Public HealthBackground The prevalence of post COVID-19 condition (PCC) after mild infection among young adults is largely unknown, as are its impact on health and lifestyle factors. Objective To assess the prevalence of PCC among young adults and its impact on general health, stress, and changes in lifestyle factors three years after the onset of the pandemic. Methods The study population (n = 2,098) included participants from the population-based cohort BAMSE (aged 27–30 years). PCC symptoms and changes in lifestyle factors during the pandemic were assessed in a questionnaire distributed in September–December 2023 and analyzed cross-sectionally. Stress, physical activity, and general health were also assessed pre-pandemic (2016–2019) and analyzed longitudinally. PCC was defined as ≥ 1 symptom lasting for ≥ 2 months after COVID-19. Results In total, 1,577 (75.5%) reported previous COVID-19. Among these, 166 (10.5%) reported previous and 62 (3.9%) ongoing PCC. The most common ongoing symptoms were altered smell/taste, psychological symptoms, and fatigue. Both pre- and post-pandemic general health differed significantly in relation to PCC in cross-sectional analyzes (all p < 0.05), with the lowest health reported by those with ongoing PCC. Participants with ongoing PCC also had a reduction in well-being in longitudinal analyses (p = 0.04). This group also reported more adverse changes in lifestyle factors and health during the pandemic such as reduced physical activity (p < 0.001) and worsened dietary habits (p = 0.03). However, there was no significant difference in the longitudinally measured perceived stress scale among individuals with PCC. Conclusions Almost 4% of young adults with previous self-reported COVID-19 had ongoing symptoms of PCC three years after the onset of the pandemic. This group reported poorer health and more adverse changes in lifestyle factors than participants without PCC. Targeted healthcare interventions for young adults with PCC are warranted.

I'm now in year six of living in pandemic isolation. This is always how I thought I would respond to this kind of situation. I'm intelligent, compassionate, informed and motivated after all.

But assuming you know what you'd do in theory is very different from living it in practice. Plus this is damn hard.

I'm genuinely pleased to discover that, when put to the test, I am living up to who I thought I was all along.

It's nice to pleasantly surprise myself.
