The Guardian ‘We’re losing decades of our life to this illness’: #longCovid patients on the fear of being forgotten

"Five years on from March 2020, millions of people still face debilitating symptoms, with huge repercussions on public health and productivity. But politicians are starting to pretend the pandemic never happened"

Decided to upgrade my masks from FFP2 to FFP3 which give better protection.

I should say I’m far from perfect with my masking. Around once a month, I go to something social and eat or drink without a mask. And occasionally I forget but trying to prevent that by including spares in my coat pockets

BioMed CentralThe impact of long COVID on heart rate variability: a cross-sectional study - BMC Infectious DiseasesBackground Long-term COVID-19 (LC), which may affect the autonomic nervous system (ANS), is the term for the symptoms that some patients had for an additional month after contracting the virus. Therefore, during the LC phase, ANS status was evaluated in patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 using heart rate variability (HRV), a measurement of ANS function. Methods A cross-sectional research with 173 participants - both positive and negative for COVID-19 – was conducted. Based on self-reports, patients with COVID-19 were classified as to whether they had LC or not. A 5-minute ECG recorder and data detection and response report were used to measure the ANS. Results There were notable age differences across the groups (p = 0.034). Patients with LC under 25 years of age had a lower HRV categorized as a very-low-frequency (VLF) domain (p = 0.012). Compared to the group without LC, a higher number of people in the LC group had aberrant autonomic neuroactivity (p = 0.048). Conclusion Mild-to-moderate patients with COVID-19 in young to middle age may develop autonomic dysfunction one month after infection.
