Phil Collins: "I got COVID in hospital. My kidneys started to back up, you know, everything that started that could, all seemed to converge at the same time.” He joins a LONG LIST of high-profile individuals who are now disabled since Covid began. consequence.net/2026/01/phil...

We have made the decision to formally close our X social media account. Once a vibrant platform to promote the interests of authors, we feel X is no longer a trusted place for balance, community support, and reliable information.

An excellent review of @emendenhall.bsky.social's new book "Invisible Illness: a history, from hysteria to Long Covid", by @drelke.bsky.social - open.substack.com/pub/longcovi...

Good to see @mark-carney.bsky.social's clarity on the threats posed by the US and Russia. The call to "take the sign out of the window" also leaves room to pivot from a pandemic dominated by medical politics, turf wars and infection control failures, to clear-headed, ethical, science-based action.

Today marks one year since President Trump’s second term started. We are working on a story reflecting on this last year in U.S. #LongCOVID policy, and want to hear from you. To share your thoughts, email us at [email protected].

Remote work was framed as a temporary response, but the data show a lasting shift. Office attendance has not returned to pre-pandemic levels. Evidence points to higher retention, stable productivity, reduced infection risk, and critical support for workers affected by Long COVID.

When countries get hooked on US tech, their governments are constrained in reining in tech’s harms while most of the economic benefits accrue to the United States. It’s time to break out of that trap — but that means challenging the Silicon Valley model, not creating our own digital colonizers.

“Many had hoped reinfections of COVID would be milder or carry less long-term risk, but we found increased risks for a broad range of conditions, challenging the assumptions many had that children bounce back quickly,”

Time is the enemy for all aspects of #LongCOVID, still without a cure after 6 years, with most cases still unregistered, poorly supported, barely treated. But masks are still triggering for the public. While risking a neurodegenerative disease is not the least bit triggering. Strange that.

Imagine if instead of reading about this in a British tabloid, you were hearing this from your concerned family doctor, who was also masked in an #N95, running an air cleaner in their consulting room, with the window slightly open (in wintry locales). Imagine that. Instead, after 6 years, no...

Peer-reviewed article published in the Feb 2026 International Journal of Infectious Diseases: “Our findings redefine SARS-CoV-2 infection as a condition of long-lasting immune compromise.” So, people don’t get to the other side of a Covid infection with a strengthened immune system

#LongCOVID 👇

In the 1980s, I took layered precautions to avoid HIV. Because I knew I didn't want to get AIDS. in the 2020s, I take layered precautions against SARS-CoV-2 because I don't want to get more post-COVID health problems and even lower quality of life. Are anti-maskers also anti-condoms? 🤔

Great thread on COVID mitigation!

Yes...

Maybe because "Patients receiving hemodialysis in outpatient centers spend hours in close proximity to other [unmasked] patients and [unmasked] facility staff members during treatment sessions" - * We know this happens in chemotherapy units, where staff don't even wear surgical masks. #N95s
