People with Long COVID
Need Us to Believe Them
Medical gaslighting does physical and psychological harm. Here’s how to stop it.
Simran Purewal, Kaylee Byers, Kayli Jamieson and Neda Zolfaghari
It’s increasingly clear that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is not going away any time soon. And for some patients, their symptoms haven’t gone away either.

SARS-CoV-2 and "Textbook" Immunity
The term ‘textbook’ should not be comforting. Textbooks tell us we can expect SARS-CoV-2 to have a detrimental impact on human health and life expectancy if it is allowed to continue to spread and reinfect the population.

Letter of a concerned citizen and healthcare professional to their MLA
As a constituent who is a healthcare professional, a parent, and a recent cancer survivor, I feel compelled to reach out after the removal of mask mandates in BC hospitals, and I ask you to understand how serious this issue is and how urgently change is needed in our provincial government’s pandemic management strategy.

Acute Cardiovascular Complications of COVID-19:
A Systematic Review
Cardiac injury results from an interplay between the virus and host cells. Also shown macrophage and lymphocytic infiltration and viral fragments in the endothelium of cardiac vessels. Enormous inflammatory changes have been reported through cytokine storms and dysregulation of the host immune response.

With potential viral persistence in long covid, how does the SARS-CoV-2 virus "hide" and replicate in our cells?
Via Double-Membrane Vesicles or DMVs. It is like the virus makes a "hidden closet" in our cells. Lipid droplets power replication.

We are in our fourth year of
work to understand #LongCovid
We now know things about it thanks to science. Here’s why Long Covid is not a functional neurological disorder
It is the point of this thread to encourage clinicians to rethink their biases and update their clinical approaches in the presence of new literature.

CO2 TRACKER APP
Tell me ( and businesses ) about CO2 levels
Check CO2 levels at your local locations.
Add some for the Sunshine Coast or your location.
Google Maps in Japan using the search terms “restaurant CO2 concentration monitor”, you can pick your restaurant based on the availability of real-time indoor CO2 monitor levels.

Is #SARSCoV2 an oncogenic virus
Deciphering the Relationship between SARS-CoV-2 and Cancer.
Recent research indicates that #SARSCoV2 infection and #COVID19 progression may predispose recovered patients to cancer onset and accelerate cancer development.
SARSCoV2's role as an oncogenic virus occurs by inhibiting oncosuppressors or controlling the metabolic and autophagy pathways TRP the infected cells.

You'll likely be hearing more about another XBB descendant lineage, XBB.2.3
Alongside XBB.1.5 (Kraken), XBB.1.9.1 (Hyperion),
and XBB.1.16 (Arcturus).
We're nicknaming XBB.2.3* "Acrux" (after the star en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrux) to aid communication.

Exploring the immunogenic properties of SARS-CoV-2 structural proteins:
Any infection of Covid19 generates S1 amyloid proteins that are durable and can cause cognitive damage.

SARS-CoV-2 Structure. SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped RNA+ virus, which is comprised of virus-derived structural proteins, including the spike (S), nucleocapsid (N), membrane (M) and envelope (E) proteins.

This message is going to harm children.
Public guidance stating not to seek medical care when ill conflicts with other guidance about when to seek care.
Besides, you are most transmissible in the few days before symptoms, and we have a very high level of asymptomatic transmission, 30-odd percent at least... so how does this help? So not sick, but transmissible can still come?

Galectin-3 as a Marker for
Increased Thrombogenicity in COVID-19
We found that galectin-3 levels and Factor (vWF), antithrombin and tissue plasminogen activator levels were higher in the COVpos than in the COVneg cohort. Galectin-3 correlated positively with vWF, antithrombin and D-dimer in the COVpos cohort but not in the COVneg cohort

Why long COVID could be a ticking time bomb for public health
Long COVID isn't novel: other viruses in history have had similar “long” arcs — with devastating repercussions.
By PHILIP FINKELSTEIN
While long COVID is not caused by the lingering viral remnants of COVID-19 per se, the initial infection could precipitate amyloid buildup and Lewy body formation. If this is so, long COVID, would slowly spread throughout the nervous system.
