Thanks so much for your kind words 🙏 My review on #LongCovid discussed in the thread is available open access here: www.mdpi.com/2673-8112/6/... and in my pinned tweet Elisa Perego 2026 "overview and pathophysiology of Long COVID" COVID

In a sample of around 140 LC patients and pre-pandemic controls, 83% of Long Covid patients revealed tissue-specific autoantibody signatures and immune alterations, which are not detected by routine serology in long COVID #LongCovid link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Long Covid has become one of the most common chronic diseases, as common or more common of conditions "such as ischaemic heart disease, gout, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and rheumatoid arthritis." Yet it remains poorly addressed and treated #LongCovid newsroom.co.nz/2026/05/14/t...

I don't understand how a major health body could be confused about airborne transmission when single researchers like myself are not. Anyway 🤷‍♀️

It's wonderful that you did. Still reading and learning. Very impressed that you have used language that's both technically precise and readily understandable, a rare combination in biomedical journals. So thank YOU for making the efforts to create such a powerful paper. 🙏

An excellent review on a subject that's often under-recognized or misunderstood. This disease is more widespread than you might think, and the research that Dr. Perego describes is critical to advancing reliable diagnoses and effective treatments. Very readable as well, for all.

It was the WRONG time to pull funding from public health.

You think that just because you’ve just suffered one horrible outbreak, that you must be due a break from novel diseases, but this is not how the world works. The conditions that favour the emergence of one disease, may favour more…

🗞️ Press article « No, yoga is not the solution to long COVID » on the Long Covid EU project symposium, « quickly interrupted by people living with long COVID, who protested against the arguments put forward by some of the speakers that tended to 'psychologize' their condition.

BREAKING: A French woman evacuated from a cruise ship tested positive for hantavirus and her health worsened in the hospital overnight, French Health Minister Stephanie Rist said. The woman was among five French passengers repatriated from the MV Hondius.

🚨🗞️ Must read : "Non, le yoga n’est pas la solution au Covid long" sur le Colloque Long COVID EU Project (nous confirmons!), "rapidement interrompu par des personnes vivant avec le Covid long, s’insurgeant des thèses défendues par certains des protagonistes

I’ll be honest: I’m not loving how this hantavirus situation is looking, and I’m also not loving all the public health scientists out here downplaying it and prematurely telling people not to worry. Even if this turns out to be nothing, it’s not good for building trust.

Shout out to the #LongCovid & #CovidConscious communities who warned us. They said: -keep masking in public spaces -invest in high quality indoor air filtration -don't declare the pandemic is over prematurely -demand single payer health care The majority of us didn't listen. It's a shame.

🎤 Un de nos membres, Julien, était sur les ondes sur RTL ce matin pour parler #CovidLong Il y parle de la fausse séparation en vulnérable / invulnérable au Covid, des inégalités face au diagnostic & à la prise en charge, et son expérience de la maladie👏

🎙️« people leading research groups on these “alternative therapies” were present and actively involved in the conference. We thought it was very dangerous and we also want to be there each time doctors talk about us, 🧵 thesicktimes.org/2026/05/05/l...

Parents, guardians, schools, healthcare systems, & governments: Long Covid is destroying childhoods, futures, and lives. Act now at every level before the cost of inaction grows. 🧵 #LongCovidKids #LongCovidAwareness #LongCovid #COVID

Postviral Ethics conference - Radboud University, 3 February 2025 This workshop was the very first workshop that addressed postviral ethics as a topic. It not only discussed the various urgent ethical challenges Long Covid and #ME/CFS (PAIS) pose for patients, @vmatthiesboon.bsky.social

Scientific evidence of multi-system pathology in #LongCovid e.g. www.mdpi.com/2673-8112/6/...

Julie Lam, founder of @togetherwemask.bsky.social, spoke with us recently for our first podcast, and here she speaks about how workers need protection from airborne pathogens, and about how we don't know who is "high risk". Full podcast is on YouTube and Spotify!  #COVID19 #longcovid #publichealth

The brain is one of the organs affected in acute and #LongCovid. But so are the lungs, heart, kidney, pancreas, thyroid, and other organs.

My friend in her 40s died of multiple pulmonary embolisms from Covid. It sucks when people don’t take airborne viruses seriously.

If you continue to say Long Covid is a disease with no biomarkers and just "vague" symptoms, you are contributing to the marginalisation of our suffering. It might be useful for your career. But people have died and have been left with no medical care because of this.

To be crystal clear: the scientific evidence shows pathology and damage in #LongCovid across all organs and body systems. LC is not a "disease of the brain" as reported in some press. There are tests like scans and biopsies that prove multi-system pathology. We need accurate reporting on this topic

3/3 - Strokes, heart attacks, cancer, brain damage in babies & adults, diabetes, dementia.. and on and on. None of this is labelled #LongCovid. But it is. Covid has damaged our immune systems leaving us vulnerable to everything else. It's a factor in our declining health. bsky.app/profile/elis...

Rappels importants sur le Covid Long 👇 (parce-que oui, après 6 ans et ~ 400 millions de malades dans le monde plus tard, on en est encore à rappeler ce qu'on sait depuis un moment déjà, pendant que des "journalistes sciences" soignent leur carrière et leur égo en relayant des charlatans)

Long Covid is not a "thing of the past". Millions of people have it. SARS-CoV-2 is still spreading and causing illness. It is highly irresponsible to minimize the ongoing burden of the Covid pandemic. People deserve access to prevention, testing, treatment and care

From @onelife_livedwell on IG Patients named Long COVID before medicine did By August,the WHO made it official. The first condition brought into being through patients finding each other on Twitter. 💛 part 1 of 4, about patient led care and who holds the knowledge about chronic illness. #longcovid

A kind reminder that Covid and #LongCovid among the most studied disease entities in medicine history. There is a rich palette of biomarkers which can aid diagnosis and help design clinical trials. They are heterogeneous in an heterogeneous patient population. But they're there
