Put this on your calendar! On Weds 22 April at 6pm US ET, I'll talk to @jasongale.bsky.social of @bloomberg.com about his new book AFTER COVID, part of @emorycshh.bsky.social 's Health Storytelling series. RSVP for livestream links: humanhealth.emory.edu/events/livin...

Scientists at Icahn School of Medicine have found a new way #Covid-causing SARS-CoV-2 can spread in the lungs: tiny particles shuttle key proteins between cells, effectively turning new cells into targets a bit like a Trojan horse. Free gift link👇 shorturl.at/c2Lhu

A great article on COVID from Bloomberg. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

How Covid quietly rewires the brain - Bloomberg Businessweek

Some first-rate science writing: For this story, @jdrakephd.bsky.social carefully read our recent paper and then we spent a very fun 90 minutes or so talking on zoom. His article that gets right to the heart of our model, explains it clearly, and then explores why it will matter in the future.

Think #vaping nicotine is a safe alternative to #smoking cigarettes? A new review paper links vapes and e-cigarettes to lung and oral #cancer, challenging that view. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

There is a new COVID sublineage (BA.3.2) circulating in many regions, including here in Ontario. *Clinical spectrum: same as before *Diagnosis: same as before *Risk factors: same as before *Treatment: same as before *Prevention: same as before

I wrote about the findings from the inquiry about the impact of the pandemic on the NHS, and the mistakes of the first year. I hope it makes you angry - it should make us all angry. open.substack.com/pub/christin...

Finally received my copy of 'After Covid', a book by Bloomberg senior editor @jasongale.bsky.social. Thank you, Jason, for giving scientists like me the space to tell our story without political bias. #COVID and #LongCovid also changed my life. Get a copy here: www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/...

Grateful to participate in an informative panel on the science of infection-associated chronic conditions and discussion on the urgent efforts to help patients recover from #LongCovid with 3 superstars — Pam Taub, Sonia Sharma, and Erica Ollmann Saphire at @lji.org last week

Thanks so much @lji.org for hosting a thoroughly enjoyable and informative discussion!

Thank you, @daniellebeckman.bsky.social — I really appreciate this. 🙏🏻 I’m grateful for your work and for the chance to help share your story. It’s researchers like you who’ve helped us understand just how far-reaching Covid’s effects are.

Thanks again for joining us for an insightful conversation with @jasongale.bsky.social , on his recent book "After Covid". We appreciate your comments throughout the webinar and you can now listen to it again or catch up for those who had change of plans because of the icy storm.

We didn't forget. Actually logged into the @mcgillperl.bsky.social virtual conference with @drejoanneliu.bsky.social and guest @jasongale.bsky.social I'm guessing the recording will be available later on youtube. It was excellent! (PS "After COVID" means life since it came into our lives).

After years of talking to @drejoanneliu.bsky.social over Zoom and email, it was brilliant to finally meet in person and swap books! Looking forward to continuing the conversation over Zoom this evening. Stay safe everyone!

Merci pour le partage. Ravi de revenir à Montréal et de rencontrer Joanne Liu et Prativa Baral en personne. Au plaisir d’échanger avec vous à McGill — ou sur Zoom.

There's a common misconception that zoonotic viruses require significant adaptation to jump from animals to cause human epidemics. Not so 👇. Further, we see clear signs of 1977 flu experiencing cell passage, prior to epidemic. SARS-CoV-2? Business as usual. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

"After Covid" is a deeply researched account of a crisis that has fundamentally changed the world, and continues to reshape it in ways we're only beginning to understand. https://tr.ee/WqkUKP

From @jasongale.bsky.social based on his brilliant new book. Captures a lot of what actually was, and contrasts that to our (faulty/revised) memory those facts. And importantly, why that all matters for the next pandemic. All a bit sad to me, but great work Jason. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Refrigerated trucks. Mass graves. ICUs beyond capacity. Six years on, some call it exaggerated — even as transmission, #LongCovid and system strain persist. What we forget about #Covid will shape the next pandemic. My latest for Bloomberg's Weekend Edition via 🎁🔗⬇️ tinyurl.com/yk93f7k2

After Covid is officially published. It took 3+ years of reporting—hundreds of interviews & deep dives into more than 2,000 studies & reports—to examine what followed the emergence of SARSCoV2. #LongCovid. Chronic illness. Strained systems. Eroded trust. The risks we face if we don’t learn from it.

Do you have #LongCovid and feel like you have to consciously control your breathing? An NIH researcher studying this wants to connect with patients. Free link to my story: tinyurl.com/a8e8v4xv Email me confidentially: [email protected]

5 years after being told she had a year to live with #glioblastoma, Kyle Donohue is still here. Long-term survivors are forcing scientists to rethink how this brain cancer works--as a wired, adaptive network, not just a tumor to cut out. New trials aim to disconnect those networks. rb.gy/r5594a

Join the Pandemic and Emergency Readiness Lab (PERL) and McGill Global Health Programs (GHP) for a special fireside conversation with Jason Gale (@jasongale.bsky.social), Senior Editor at Bloomberg News and author of After Covid, a close examination of the pandemic’s enduring legacy.

Thanks, @bhanlon15.bsky.social Here’s a free link www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Kudos to @jdmunday.bsky.social & other authors of this really elegant study of viral transmission in schools. 👇 Indoor air quality is very important, something we on @independentsage.bsky.social argued strongly during pandemic. Ventilation matters.

For much of the pandemic, reassurance about #Covid in #pregnancy rested on one idea: babies didn’t test positive. New research shows why that was incomplete -- and why exposure in the womb, not infection at birth, is the real concern. 🎁🔗⬇️ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

#Covid wasn’t a temporary shock that neatly corrected itself. A new study in @jamanetworkopen.com from HKU finds deaths in most rich countries never fell enough to offset pandemic losses. The damage stuck. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A small milestone: the first copies of After Covid are here. This book exists because of the generosity of hundreds of scientists, clinicians, public-health experts, and patients who agreed to interviews over the years. Thank you. www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/...

Modern ##cancer therapies have turned treatment itself into a #cardiovascular risk factor. Survivors are living long enough for the damage to surface. My story for @bloomberg.com via 🎁🔗⤵️ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Cancer survival is rising fast. So are delayed heart problems caused by the treatments that saved people’s lives. From immune therapies to older chemotherapies, cancer itself is increasingly a risk factor for CVD—often surfacing years later. My latest ⬇️ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
