Here's the latest variant picture for the United States, to mid-January. The XFG.* "Stratus" variant continued it’s dominance, but fell to 71% frequency. NB.1.8.1 "Nimbus" grew to 15%. #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 #USA #XFG #Stratus #NB_1_8_1 #Nimbus 🧵

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

Olympians are masking up with N95s because they know a covid infection can derail their chances of competing. They know it could derail their careers. They know it could disable them. They’re practicing self care and community care. Give them a gold medal in public health!

Encouraging to see some members of the US Olympic team wearing masks to protect their health ahead of competition.

In a sample of 170 Covid survivors from Spain who needed Critical Care, 25% still had #LongCovid at a 32-month follow-up. Also, a significant percentage developed new health conditions (which could not be linked to LC in the study but might have been LC)

Ich möchte noch was zur (online) Community der #LongCOVID & #ME/CFS Betroffenen sagen. Natürlich sind sehr viele Betroffene online aktiv, denn das Internet ist einer der wenigen Räume, in denen sie sich noch aufhalten können. Auch die meisten Selbsthilfegruppen finden natürlich online statt.

Auch historisch wurden die Selbsthilfe und die Patient*innenorgas von Vertreter*innen der psychologisierenden Genese attackiert und abgewertet. Diese epistemische Ungerechtigkeit wird in diesem Paper von Blease & Geraghty sehr gut aufgearbeitet und - natürlich - entkräftet. Klare Leseempfehlung!

Übrigens kommt auch der Begriff „Long COVID“ aus der Community - ursprünglich 2020 auf (damals noch) Twitter von Dr. Elisa Perego @elisaperego78.bsky.social erstmals verwendet.

There are dozens of biomedical abnormalities identified in Long Covid cohorts. Let's stop (from some media and researchers) presenting #LongCovid as a disease with no identified damage, no biomarkers, no tests.
