Long Covid patients that I see are getting younger. Avoid infections, breathe clean air, wear a respirator. Covid is airborne.There’s no treatment for Covid or long covid. Covid damages organs, immune system, can maim and cause death. Mitigate! To LC patients- I see you. We stand together.

“Because COVID is still relatively new, scientists realistically have no idea what happens 10, 20 or even 30 years after an infection, much less multiple bouts… There’s a major concern here that people who are getting repeated infections [could] have long-term consequences…”

Thread: Each week I run a simulation of Australia’s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with 24GW/120GWh of storage (5 hrs at av demand) Results: Last week: 100% RE Last 185 weeks: 98.7% RE (1/5)

Holy crap, was reading this. 4C! Adaptation! 😵‍💫🙃 It's going to be the same plan as SARS2, a whole bunch of people die while propaganda is pumped out to mollify the ignorant. WTAF. www.rfi.fr/en/environme...

Cardiologists seeing more cases of POTS since the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic. "Dr Hong said the condition can be debilitating, with symptoms like dizziness, fainting, brain fog, shortness of breath and even gastrointestinal issues."

“She’s in this orange prison outfit,” he said. “She just feels so isolated and desperate, you can imagine, she’s saying, ‘I want to come home’.” She is safe, he said, but living “in horrendous conditions” and had not had access to legal representation. Stop traveling to the U.S, It’s not safe.

Appalling seeing another sportsmen making light of male violence against women. This time an NRL player joking they got a black eye for not doing the dishes. When will all men get that making light of what’s a common experience for women is never acceptable & makes it much harder for survivors.
