Brian Sutterer MD calling out the Golden State Warriors and Kristaps Porzingis for not being upfront about his "mysterious illness" made my year. Cause ALL of us who've been kneecapped by Long COVID know it when we see it. Society pretending this ain't a thing doesn't make it so. #NBA #POTS #Medsky

As a Steph Curry superfan and ex-baller, this was LONG overdue. #NBA #Porzingis #POTS #LongCOVID

Just stumbled onto this: "Project Syndicate taps the most insightful contributors—from Africa, Asia, Europe & the Americas—to provide trenchant, authoritative analysis of the issues commanding global attention & promote viable solutions to the world’s urgent problems." i.e. What the world needs.

"…adequate[?] air changes in the hospital ventilation system alone may not be enough to protect staff and patients" 1st thought: Uh oh. But then: "…portable air purifiers could further reduce the risk of transmission" So COVID remains a problem because ventilation is NOT yet adequate 🙄 #MedSky

Ontario engineers: "Treating airborne transmission seriously, setting measurable operational targets (including CO2), and deploying layered controls—ventilation, filtration, & UV Germicidal Irradiation—where appropriate" #IAQ #CleanAir #COVID #CdnPoli #PublicHealth It's a good start. However: (1/2)

What's still missing: 1) Adoption & training 2) Routine CO₂/ventilation checks 3) LAYERED DEFENCE promoting source control, ventilation upgrades, filtration & HEPA air cleaners to reduce risk for respiratory pathogens We know what's needed. We're just not doing it. #PublicHealth #CdnPoli #IAQ 2/2

"Pharma groups have come to us and said, 'We're not interested in COVID. We're not interested in any anti-infective,' (…) If a long COVID trial were to fail, that could leave a negative perception of their drug’s usefulness in acute COVID-19." Evil. Incarnate. #Medsky #LongCOVID

"The research found that traces of the virus remained in immune cells after treatment had ended and the cats appeared to have made a full recovery. Because some immune cell types live for years, this could explain why some clinical signs persist or relapse." #LongCOVID

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

Hey, could someone do me a solid and ask @elhopkins.bsky.social why she blocked me for pointing out that a "song" about Long COVID by Mack Barnhardt was exploitative, disingenuous, A.I. generated slop? I didn't get a response. No discussion. Just an immediate block. 🤨 I have some questions: (1/2)

Si on ne continuait pas à prendre un pas en avant, il ne resterait que les pas en arrière. Chapeau bas, @cpdesrosiers.bsky.social. Message à nous tous: voici pourquoi faut pas baisser les bras.

"En fait, si certains de nos politiciens [se retrouvent du mauvais côté du débat public], c’est beaucoup à cause de vieux réflexes populistes qui sont aujourd’hui dépassés. Ils ont encore de vieilles croyances et voient les immigrants comme des « voleurs de jobs »". Entre autres… #PolQc

Auston Matthews cannot support a President who wants to annex Canada 🇨🇦 and captain a Canadian team. What the fuck are the Leafs doing?

JB Pritzker: “Trump is a danger to the future of our country & our democracy — authoritarians don't go away. They get more powerful if you don't stand up to them early People said, you're alarmist. That's over the top — I don't think a year later anybody's saying that about what I said a year ago”

This is why I have no fks to give to this US administration, classless, ignorant and absolute assholes.

Quality over quantity. One would have thought people had learned that lesson by now. That said, we need to restart pressuring quality contributors to join us here. Society will follow. It’s up to us to lead.

Quand je vous dis que Foglia nous manque, ce n'est pas de l'homme grincheux dont je vous parle, mais de sa perspicacité. Nul besoin d'être clairvoyant, suffit d'être lucide. Et ça, pour être lucide, il l'était très certainement.

"A few words about Trump. He has everything it takes to be hated by Foglia"—LaPresse 1988 Pierre Foglia (1940-2025) was the most masterful columnist to ever take pen to paper. Of course he knew what Trump really was—anyone paying attention did We could really use him now No one Is paying attention

I keep wondering: What would Foglia write. How would he snap us out of our lethargy?

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

“[People in the plastics industry] are very happy for us to look at ourselves and at each other, and not look at them,” says @bethgardiner.bsky.social, author of "Plastic Inc: Big Oil, Big Money and the Plan to Trash our Future."

It was closer than I ever imagined it would be. Canada 🇨🇦 played their hearts out. Be so proud ladies. We’re proud of you.

Thanks @cdcofbc.bsky.social @bcndp.bsky.social ! Infect us, then study us 🤬 Let Omicron rip before kids are vaxxed, tell us to wash our hands to prevent an airborne virus, and to get infected to not get infected. A giant

Is it the 9th war he has started, or is it 10 now. America can never be trusted again, ever. Maybe in 200 years when no one is alive who watched this shit show. No trust, no allies, just hate and racism and fealty to an obese orange asshole. UN FUCKING BELIEVABLE. More fucking wars. #NaziAsshole

Awww. 🤗 I commented on a FB gardening group that I was starting a #FlowerGarden from scratch this year and a nice lady from my area sent me a DM offering to split many of her perennials to help me out. There is still good in this world and it gives me hope. 💚 🌺

As @violetblue.bsky.social points out in this week's Threat Model: #Covid, shame on NPR for calling Olympic athletes' masking "extreme measures"--they know it's the best way to avoid infection. So mask up and read/share/support: www.patreon.com/posts/150549... #LongCovid #MedSky

I agree. Emergency rooms are usually designed to rule out life-threatening conditions. The work-up for LC could start in the emergency room, but transferring to a good PCP and having adequate referrals would be more helpful.

At parts of the Winter Olympics in Italy, COVID precautions remain, grounded in the reality that respiratory illness is still circulating. When your lungs are your livelihood, prevention is part of performance. #COVID #COVID19 #PublicHealth #InfectionPrevention #Olympics #LongCOVID #MaskUp #N95

If the days of masking are behind you, the days of getting long covid or other complications are lit up like Las Vegas neon in front of you.

If you "argue" with the virus, the virus wins every time. These athletes aren't trying to argue with the virus or pretend it's all gone/no problem. They know better 😉

I really wish that non-maskers and covid is overers would take a look at the language here and ask yourself, does it really seem all that extreme to take extra precautions before an event you’ve trained your whole life for? And if not, what is reason for such charged language?

CBC simply can’t be trusted when it comes to public health messaging. Their so-called ‘experts’ never keep up with medical research. It’s painfully obvious to anyone who does.

Beautiful family, amazing President. Canada danced in the streets when he was elected. Now we have a fucking Nazi Regime on our southern border, we have a #NaziKing that comes for 🇨🇦 every day, who hates us. Fuck everyone for voting for the orange child rapist. #CanadaWontForget 🇨🇦

If you posted this, you’d be fired without hesitation. The president of the United States should be held to the same standard as you and me.

I’m glad Jeffries came out swinging on this one. Trump is an unrepentant racist and his posts should not be normalized.

Brilliant. Finally an honest, easy to understand message about airborne viral transmission and how to prevent it. And proper respirators, instead of baggy blue paper masks!

“Free from ‘sports prison,’ Winter athletes get chance to enjoy Olympics without a COVID lockdown” apnews.com/article/olym... Maybe they’re all just free to get and transmit a wider variety of illnesses and far more easily? 🦠🤷‍♀️🦠 #N95+ 😷

Gestapos opened fire, striking Martinez 5 times in the arm, chest & both legs 1 gestapo had body cam ... Martinez has said in court that it shows an officer shouting "do something b--" The gestapo who shot her, in a group text: "I fired 5 rounds & she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys."

He tells us what he’ll do. We laugh, then it happens. He promised invasion; he invaded. He promised troops at home; they’re here. He promised retribution; prosecutors and investigators are now targets. He seized ballots; he’s calling to seize elections. This isn’t bluster; it’s a plan. Stop laughing

The propaganda network should be shut down.

Every time this post or similar ones come back up on my feed I do tear up. I didn't know Alex, but I remember the nurses in residency who had my back, even when I didn't know anything and they could have just been rude to me for being in the way. I hope others get what a great guy he was.
