Here, MRI scans showed kids' Covid brain volume differences were related to neuropsychiatric symptoms (headache, dizziness, attention & memory deficits) due to chronic, persistent neuroinflammation in the brain #CovidCausesBrainDamage #ProtectChildrenFromCovid (Pediatric Neurology, Aug. 28, 2025)

Pls read👇 "A successful & healthy response to COVID would have seen [a] plan for upgrading indoor air quality in all public buildings [incl.] new ventilation standards, new air filtration standards, indoor CO2 monitoring [&] public education to communicate the function & necessity of these measures"

always read @juliadoubleday.bsky.social . systemic change means clean air, far UVC, CO2 monitoring, proper testing, and mitigations instead of wasted years of magical thinking

Emerging evidence highlights how COVID-19 causes cardiovascular damage, incl. myocarditis, pericarditis, myocardial infarction, stroke, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, vasospasm, arrhythmias, heart failure 👇 #CovidHarmsYourHeart (European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, Sept. 18, 2025)

✨ Did you know Long COVID can impact every part of the body? The Lancet documented 203 symptoms across 10 body systems, and the average patient reported 56 different symptoms across 9 systems.

Pendant ce temps-là, dans nos écoles… 👇 (Là où je porte toujours mon #KN95 qui me protège pendant que tout le monde autour de moi est malade à répétition, mais où tout le monde endure son sort sans se plaindre, comme si être malade en permanence était une fatalité…) 🤷‍♂️

Geez, even Rochelle The Mask is the Scarlet Letter of the Pandemic Walensky says C19 has sent previously healthy kids to the ICU for life-threatening cardiovascular damage "Over & over again, Covid-19 has shown it can cause severe disease in children," she says "During" should be "Amid" but still:

Schools should be safe places for students and teachers. We're on a mission to share factually accurate information to help schools prevent COVID spreading. Good information empowers people to make better decisions.

Long COVID is not something easy that you just live with. It will make your life smaller. And you won't know how much smaller until you're trying to live with it. You don't want this.

"Studies using high-resolution MRIs have also uncovered structural alterations in different parts of the hippocampus, which is vital for learning and memory, and subtle abnormalities in the brain stem, which may impact autonomic functions related to breathing, sleep and heart function" 👇 #AvoidCovid

What's important to know about #LongCOVID: Risk of LongCOVID increases with each reinfection Symptoms can appear weeks or months after infection LongCOVID is associated w/ conditions such as ME/CFS, POTS, MCAS COVID infection(s) can exacerbate any pre-existing condition, or cause a new condition

When it came time to change the filters of our full-sized #CRbox I decided to create a foamboard frame for Ikea Fornüftig filters instead. Filter replacement cost is MUCH cheaper in this design & it still works amazingly🙌🙌

Shingles incidence also rising in context of covid immune damage. & In UK vaccine is only offered publicly to 70+ but (even without greater covid indicidences) other countries do 50+. Pals in their early 40s recently had shingles following covid & found it v tough :( academic.oup.com/ofid/article...

What new colour of KN95 would you like to see us carry? Navy Blue Light Blue Wine Other Please reply in the comments!

If you’re not #immunocompromised, you are more privileged than us Use your privilege to help us Be an ally, wear a mask in public & REFUSE to participate in eugenics Be an ally to people w/ #LongCOVID You could be 1 of us anytime All it takes is 1 infection (risk increases w/ each reinfection)

We could do this for long covid if people who don’t have long covid yet decided to organize with us to fight for funding and wore a damn mask so it could be safe enough for us to do in person actions.

Every so often I remember how about this time last year I reassured a friend sick with covid for the first time that long covid was proving 'annoying, but not like, debilitating'.

No, a terrible piece by @unbiasedscipod.bsky.social, interspersed with misinfo itself, like the original aim of the vaccines. And why is she in a bar amid an ongoing pandemic, which she refers to in the past tense? Is she wearing a N95 while downing beers? Read @juliadoubleday.bsky.social instead:

The 3M Auras are near the top and still, IMHO, the most comfortable to wear for a long time, like on an international flight. And they won’t fog up your glasses.

My long Covid patient. 3 covid infections and 3 vaccinations- unable to have further mRNA due to myocarditis. Developed long covid after 3rd infection. POTS and PEM crashes. Limited to 2500 steps daily. Previously fit and well and gyms regularly. No meds prior to long covid.

Started midodrine. Slowly improved and took him about 8 months. Prominent public figure. Meets lots of people and attend regular meetings. Was off sick initially. Catches viruses from people regularly.

I told him to avoid getting sick and getting next Covid. He listened. He wears a P2 mask. He uses AirSpot air monitoring @airspotrob.bsky.social all the time. He uses far uvc. He monitors the air he breathes and shares with others. He has a few Hepa machine and my favourite Ionmax aire x.

He has been well and finally weaned off midodrine. He can walk 15000 steps. He is travelling. Still working. He feels so well. He doesn’t understand why people won’t mask. Neither do I.

For the record, I absolutely hate masking. I hate the fact I have to wear a mask to protect myself from those who unmask and from getting sick and getting long covid. I infinitely hate getting long covid more. So I will continue to wear my respirator and breathe clean air. I drink clean water!

The docs that see this daily yet still don't mask and then expose their families just baffle me.

Okay, so I've seen this happen several times now. Person A says "hey, Covid is surging, maybe wear a mask again, okay?" They try to word it to cajole, not shame. People react poorly to being shamed.

And yeah, it feels a little like trying to convince your cat not to eat bees, or your teen cousin he needs to wear underpants when he leaves the house; you're trying to sell people on something that is for their own good, for their safety, and it doesn't feel like it should be a hard sell.

But you want to be nice. You want to CONVINCE, and convincing is HARD, especially when there are people who have already been convinced that you want them to mask for evil, nefarious reasons. In their eyes, masks not only don't work, they give you mouth-fall-off disease.

So you word your message as nicely and as kindly as you can, and then fifteen people promptly jump on it to go I HAVE NEVER STOPPED MASKING ONLY STUPID STUPIDHEADS STOPPED MASKING HA HA HOW COULD ANYONE BE SO STUPID?

Y'all. Masking is important. I have never stopped masking. I light up when I see a well-masked space, because it means I can have more confidence in my own mask. But using every opportunity to shame people for not masking...is not helping.

I have convinced several people to start masking again by being kind about it. And yeah, it sucks that the "don't eat bees" messaging has to be softened, but we KNOW shame doesn't work like this. If we want people to mask, we need to give them opportunities without fearing they'll be mocked.

They're already going to get mocked by the remaining anti-maskers. If they think we're going to mock them too, we'll never convince anybody.

A really infuriating article discussing the fact that our officials in charge of keeping us healthy did a bang up job doing almost the exact opposite when it comes to COVID. Also, mask up, folks! We only have ourselves to rely on in the foreseeable future.

Traveling soon? Stay protected during the COVID-19 surge by wearing a high-quality mask in crowded or indoor spaces like an N95, KN95 or KF94. Learn more: www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID...

You took a (long) break from wearing a mask, right? You got away with it. But, guess what? There's a *lot* more Covid around again. And, access to vax is up in the air. Just put a (good) mask on again when you're out and about and you'll be much more protected as well as protecting others. ✨✨✨

I also mask for my mental health because it's been proven Covid causes brain damage and other organ damage, and more exposures means more harm caused.

Thinking of building a Corsi-Rosenthal box instead of buying an air purifier. At both major home improvement store websites, if you put 4 MERV 13 20x20 filters in your cart, the site is like "Hey, do you also want a 20" box fan?" The algorithm knows!

"Study Shows SARS-CoV-2 Corrupts Some White Blood Cells to Suppress Immune System, Suggesting a Path to Severe COVID Federally funded Johns Hopkins team finds the virus ‘reprograms’ neutrophils to impair production of immune cells critical for fighting COVID" www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/newsroo...

long covid is an umbrella of conditions that can arise as a result of covid infection. long covid complications are not prevented by vaccination. your chances of long covid go up with each infection. long covid complications often arise in the wake of "mild" infections.

If you've had Covid even once, you yourself have a weakened immune system now, even if you don't know it yet. So be smart and #weararespirator in all indoor public places to prevent another infection from making your immune system even weaker. This 👇 is the bare minimum. It is merely good manners.

I don’t think that that’s the only reason There’s an awareness that’s lacking about #LongCOVID symptoms People don’t know that symptoms can start weeks or even months after a person has “recovered” from their initial infection #LongCOVIDAwareness

Please read and share widely! COVID levels are rising again. Mask up, if you aren't already.

1/ I don’t know how to say this without sounding harsh, but I need you to hear it. COVID — or SARS-2 — is not “just another cold.” It doesn’t leave you the same. Every reinfection stacks damage: brain, heart, immune system.

2/ The avg American has already been infected ~4x. “Brain fog” isn’t just being tired — it’s measurable brain injury. Each year you skip masking, testing, or clean air, you’re rolling the dice on another 1–2 infections.

3/ That adds up. By decade’s end, if you aren’t protecting yourself, you won’t be the same. Not just “a little older.” We’re talking accelerated aging: dementia, stroke, heart attack, cancer, chronic illness.

4/ And it’s not just adults. Kids are developing immune dysfunction that mirrors HIV — at rates similar to adults. Each infection compounds risk. This isn’t hypothetical. It’s happening.
