Researchers found that SARS-CoV-2 can remain infectious inside sealed fragments released by dying cells. Macrophages swallowed these fragments, bringing virus inside and activating strong inflammatory signals.

2) That's the conclusion of a large study of the KING cohort. It followed: - 167 people with Long Covid - 148 people fully recovered from acute Covid-19 - 110 uninfected controls for a period of 2 years.

The Albanese Govt is clearly trying to shift full blame to Telstra for the outage - when it's actually both major parties who have set the regulatory frameworks which allows Telstra to operate #auspol

So I'll be blocking academics who write about the "loneliness epidemic" while referring to the pandemic in the past tense, or who encourage people to build community in public spaces without acknowledging that, for many disabled & immunocomp'd people, those spaces remain inaccessible

Long Covid Unlikely To Explain Increase In People Too Ill To Work, Because That Would Be Too Obvious, Say Experts

U.S. data centers used more power than all of Australia last year — and that number is only getting bigger.

I see no comments on this 🧵 about central to north QLD, NT or northern WA in summer with an incoming cyclone. I once woke up in a caravan in central QLD at 2am, with a cyclone on the way & gasping to breathe. It was like trying to breathe through a melting snorkel in a furnace.

A friend's wife in Toronto has had long COVID for > 2 years now. It has wrecked their lives & she feels like she's in some kind of early dementia.
