First Update From Dianna (Phys...
Dear #CovidConscious / #CovidCautious Community:
Please follow and support the #ThreatModelCovid newsletter -- no idea how we got lucky enough to deserve @violetblue and to still be getting thorough, vetted news roundups here in 2025, but lets all do whatever we're able to keep it going and to keep Violet and the kitcats thriving.
Patreon tiers start at $1 a month. Violet's goal is to have half her subscribership be paid subscribers, no matter the tier. We can totally nail this

News this week on NB.1.8.1/"Nimbus", the strain it's putting on Asia, and its creep around the globe (of particular note: France, NYC, California).
Also included: studies on #LongCovid in young children and college-age young adults, #PhysicsGirl 's road to recovery, and the livestream option for Sir #IanMcKellen 's production of "Twelfth Night" with an all #trans and #nonbinary cast!
Scicomm YouTuber Dianna Cowern, aka Physics Girl, came down with COVID in July 2022 while on honeymoon. By March 2023, she was hospitalised with ME/CFS and spent nearly two years housebound and bedbound. This year, she has slowly begun to recover.

The first update from Diana's point of view, in her own voice. A very active, fit, energetic young woman--the type of people were told ad nauseam was "safe" from COVID--has been bedridden for YEARS, and developed a terrible chronic illness.
I hate Youtube shorts with a passion & not being able to get back to one is just one reason - but I did click on it, because it was #physicsgirl Dianna Cowern finally standing, if only for a moment, on her own two feet for the first time after having been literally laid up for two years by long COVID 
@ennopark Zwischen Spontanheilung und Fortschtritten ist ja sehr viel Platz. Das bekannteste Beispiel ist sicher #PhysicsGirl, der ist ja jahrelang so schlecht ging, dass sie fast nichts machen konnte und erst seit einigen Wochen macht sie Fortschritte. Es gibt weder Grund zu Fatalismus noch zur Verharmlosung
Some AWESOME news from #PhysicsGirl!
After a long and difficult fight against the effects of #LongCovid, she's now able to stand for the first time in two years!

Dianna decided to shave her head to make it easier on herself for her journey with long COVID and ME/CFS. Many people struggling with this disease choose to do this if bed-bound for extended periods of time, like Dianna has been.
Hopefully she can avoid crashes, and reduce the amount of energy it takes to wash and maintain her hair every week. Millions of people are suffering from this quiet and deadly disease.

Dianna's day with Long COVID Livestream brought in over $150,000 dollars to the Open Medicine Foundation for research into finding a cure.
Open Medicine Foundation website: -> omf.ngo/ <-
We can not THANK YOU guys enough for helping make this happen. It means the world to Dianna.
Dianna is suffering from Long COVID and ME/CFS and has been bed-ridden for over a year and a half. She decided to host this stream in order to bring more awareness and funds to research into finding a cure for this disease. Thank you so much to everyone who tuned in. If you missed it, we recommend watching the interviews from the full Live-stream if you'd like to learn more about ME/CFS and Long COVID."

This is a clip taken from the Live-stream held on Physics Girl for the Open Medicine Foundation. Kyle was lucky enough to speak with Dr. David Putrino to learn more about the role that exercise plays in the bodies of people suffering from Long COVID.
If you'd like to watch the full interview on the Live-stream, you can do so here:

Physics Girl is slowly getting a *little* bit better! 
“So this was her final embroidery thingy, and you see all this beautiful stuff, and this, uh, says FUCK, and she got too sick to write COVID.”
TIL they actually make antimatter - yes, THAT antimatter - at CERN in Switzerland. Wanna see? SQUEEEE!

The #COVID emergency has ended. Great. Now everybody who has long COVID can go back to work, my dad can start walking normally again, my wife doesn’t have to worry about catching it, and #PhysicsGirl doesn’t need to lie down in the dark all day anymore. Where’s the party?
So very, very heartbreaking: Physics Girl, one of the best science communicators and a vibrant young woman who was just married a few months ago has been struck with debilitating Long COVID. It's seriously bad.
This is an update from her fellow YouTuber & friend. Nobody deserves this. Here's hoping she recovers and she and her husband can find some relief soon & resume their life together.
