On the way to school my 7 year old said “Dad, I’m going to be a vet so I can take viruses out of animals” Then, after a pause “Is your virus going away with the new medicine?” If a kid can understand care that easily, why can’t we? It shouldn’t be complicated to be kind.

Wow... this is big. In the coming decade, we're going to be uncovering SO much about how viruses impact our biology - and how to treat them. 🦠 Epstein-Barr Virus --> lupus

The art and imagination shaped by people living with long COVID these past six years feels almost miraculous. And I keep wondering what we’ll create when this strange confinement finally breaks. I’m not sure the world is ready for the brightness waiting beyond it.

Looking forward to this X space today at 12 pm EST! 🕛 Our founder Rohan will be there as well, speaking about our upcoming Patient Registry. It's designed to create high-quality scientific evidence as to what works in Long COVID, STAT! 💊 See you there! ✨

🚨We need ✨root cause✨ treatments for Long COVID, STAT! NIH RECOVER-NEURO results demonstrate you can't treat brain fog if you don't understand what's causing it. We believe that for many, it's SARS-CoV-2 persistence - we need ways to treat and clear it, now!🧠

Such an important topic, thank you Chloé, @lisamccorkell.bsky.social @julialmv.bsky.social @leticiasaurus.bsky.social and coauthors for drawing attention to it! #LongCovid #MECFS

Thank you to the Irish Independent for this article and this is why so many folks are off sick. Sadly now six of my friends have long covid. This is a national crisis behind closed doors. www.independent.ie/life/health-...

Thymosin Alpha 1 & Long COVID Our team is curious if anyone out there has tried the peptide Thymosin Alpha 1 for Long COVID. We’re asking for research purposes (not endorsing a treatment ofc!). 1/

🚨This is so important: "After years of denial the international consensus is now shifting,” according to physicist @yaneerbaryam.bsky.social COVID-19 is: 🛑creating a 12.9% increase in workplace absences compared to pre-pandemic 🛑causing a 2% increase in excess deaths vs. pre-pandemic 1/
