#fuck long covid

These are another pair of loom knitted socks using the KB Sock Loom (fine gauge) set at 52 pegs, and using the “Escher Bats” colourwork pattern from the AlterKnit Stitch Dictionary book.

I still had some @mothyandthesquid merino sock yarn in “Ruby” & “Midnight Black” leftover from my blood drip socks earlier in the year so it was a no brainer to just use that! I love the gentle variegation in the red, and both are just so soft to knit and wear.

I wasn’t quite sure about the colourwork though after the first sock, as I felt the red bats disappeared a bit. But I carried on with the second, hoping they’d look better after blocking and thankfully I was right!

All these Spotify wrapped posts are a painful reminder that I’ve actually not listened to much music for a year as it’s too tiring 99% of the time.

When those in power constantly lied about the little things, it isn't hard to see why people have tuned out--and even questioned whether masks were even effective against the virus.

The CDC is trying to limit the new COVID booster to only people 75+, pregnant people, and the immunocompromised.

We have two days (as of September 6th, 2023) to let them know this isn't acceptable.

Please, PLEASE fill this out and boost this post!

For those of you getting mad at me in the comments and reblogs: saying vaccination is only recommended for groups IS a way to try to prevent people from getting vaccinated because EVERYONE NEEDS THE VACCINE! Everyone needs to know they should get the vaccine!

It's not that hard to figure that out.

Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding did the original reporting on this. I put a link to his thread in one of the reblogs, and I'm not going to be your Google beyond saying that. Go to his Twitter. Go check out Friesein's tweet thread.

I'm just a girl

Standing in front of a procession of medical specialists

Asking them to figure out what the fuck is wrong with me

Me as a kid: why does Mom always nap when we come back from the grocery store?? That's ALL we did!

Me now: okay... cold stuff put away... I'll organize the rest later... I need to lay down ;;

His head shapeshifts anything he wants, can Gabe do the birb dance with a birb head?

Long covid is hell. Wear a fucking mask.

[lesbiansandgayssupporttheminers]

Hmmm I wonder what happened in 2020 that might have caused this...

This is literally what a lot of people were saying could happen during the pandemic.

And now Sunak wants to punish these people further. Fuck him.

Why are ppl scared to call it what it is and say we’re still going thru covid on top of seasonal illness. Like. That’s pretty important right. I was watching the news and they were like oh yeah we have an unprecedented number of flu cases “as well as other sicknesses” without actually saying Covid. No announcement abt vaccinations or masking or anything. Also if I hear someone joking abt “war flashbacks” for mentioning covid I fucking hate u

Answer: they dont wear a fucking mask during a fucking airborne pandemic.

Summary

Long COVID symptoms can persist for years, with slim chance of full recovery

Funding and attention for long COVID research are dwindling in many wealthy countries

Long COVID symptoms can include extreme fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness and pain

LONDON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - There are certain phrases that Wachuka Gichohi finds difficult to hear after enduring four years of living with long COVID, marked by debilitating fatigue, pain, panic attacks and other symptoms so severe she feared she would die overnight. Among them are normally innocuous statements such as, "Feel better soon" or "Wishing you a quick recovery," the Kenyan businesswoman said, shaking her head.Gichohi, 41, knows such phrases are well-intentioned. "I think you have to accept, for me, it’s not going to happen."
