So why is BHC pushing the clinical education agenda about measuring orthostatic intolerance? Why, as one person asked me, have we “pulled the [10-Min NASA] Lean Test from the dustbin of history” when high-tech options such as Tilt Table Testing (TTT) exist? One reason is that TTT is not available to everyone, and OI is an important presenting aspect of ME/CFS and Long COVID, along with other post-viral syndromes. The NASA Lean Test can be cost-effectively done in a primary care clinic and carried out by trained nurses, physician assistants, or other supervised clinical staff, whereas TTT can only be done by specialists using special equipment. We must empower patients and their primary care providers to identify OI, which responds to treatment support, while the science moves forward to understand the physiologic underpinnings.

CDC voice: "I know I said we'd do something about covid if it got very high again, but we have real tough jobs to do, like removing the recommendations that children with head lice or watery diarrhea be sent home to prevent further spread of their illness."

If you have a cold and test negative for COVID you are not in the clear. Tests take a while to turn positive. Meanwhile you are spreading COVID to family and friends. Mask up if you have any symptoms. This virus is just evil.

Politically, governments decided to sell a “we beat the pandemic” narrative to the public after vaccines failed to produce herd immunity as promised. For this reason, political health bodies like the CDC began putting out guidance from the very top encouraging people to accept the “new normal” of unending reinfections. Acceptance of constant reinfections relies heavily on the perception that COVID infections are a truly neutral event for your health- something that no research, and no study, has ever concluded.
COVID infection endangers pregnancies and newborns. Why aren't parents being warned?

tumblr just nuked @milf-adjacent's blog with zero warning, no explanation from staff or e-mail whatsoever. her blog has been a vital resource for documenting COVID-19, and she did nothing ban worthy. she seems to be another target of the transmisogyny being carried out by staff.

I hate that the average person is stupid and inattentive enough to be tricked by the media rebranding covid waves every 8 to 12 months. It was "waves" in 2020 and 2021 with each new variant getting a greek letter, then it was "surges" in 2022 with alphanumeric codes for each new variant, then it was "upticks" in 2023 and you were lucky if they posted what clade the current variants were in, and now in 2024 it's "bumps" with journalists misconstuing the name of a variant's spike protien mutation for the variant name and some covid minimizing doctors trying to claim "this is just descended from omicron" when the covid evoution chart looks like this

I’m seeing a lot of folks reblogging my post about free covid tests talking about being low income, so I wanted to throw out another resource for yall!
Find your local mask bloc! They’ll have free high quality masks, and many also have free tests!
Maskbloc.org has a great list of them including some outside the US!

Every time I explain I have Long Covid, people are like, 'So, you never got over having covid? So you're going to have a cold forever?'
And I get when we were in the pandemic, we all developed anxiety so severe we were afraid to touch our produce from the grocery store without wiping it down first. But the idea of Covid as "just a cold" is not the full story. That's mostly something that got pushed from people who didn't understand it, and as shorthand to explain the warning symptoms to people. Long Covid is not a cold. If I get one more person talking down to me about how I'll feel better if I just take a Vitamin C capsule every morning, I will riot.
Long Covid is currently not curable. It's manageable in the right circumstances. But there is currently no pill or therapy that is a cure for Long Covid. That includes lifestyle habits too. Maybe drinking a smoothie made out of half the vegetable aisle will be good for you, but it won't fix you magically. Please stop suggesting therapies to people. You're not their doctor, and all you're going to do is exasperate them. Worst case scenario, you put someone through another cycle of grief after they try it, and it doesn't work for them.
Why is that the case? Because Long Covid is highly complicated. Most doctors will acknowledge we don't know the half of it, as far as the complete effects. Long Covid, in short, is a very confusing amalgamation of the after-effects of getting Covid in the first place. Many experts have compared it to HIV in the way it continues to affect your body. That's why Long Covid is officially known as "Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection." Sequelae refers to the long-term or permanent effects aspect of it. It's a highly complicated thing that would most likely not be easily cured. Just like how someone recovered from severe Tuberculosis might still have issues with their lungs, people with Long Covid have to deal with the aftermath of Covid throughout their bodies.
Please stop trying to tell me, and people like me that it will just heal itself eventually. You're only frustrating people who've been dismissed so much already. Parts of it may get better with time, but the complete effect on your body is devastating and traumatic. Saying things like 'Well I did x,y, and z, and I feel totally better!' That's great, good for you. That doesn't mean it's going to work for everyone, let alone most people. Understand that it's a confusing illness. And please, for heavens sake, stop asking people 'So when are you going to get better?' We don't know. That's the point.

Given so much evidence about postviral conditions, why wasn’t more done more quickly to address long Covid?
“Medicine doesn’t like what it can’t understand, so it often ignores it,” Ravindra Ganesh, a physician scientist who directs the post-Covid care clinic at Mayo Clinic

My husband who worked in healthcare gasped when he looked at the graphs. Our immune systems have been damaged by Covid. Click on the link View on Twitter to see the post
A few people have asked me where the graphs come from. This is the work of someone who has looked at the data and posted their observations. If you can't access Twitter to see the rest of the post then I cant help you. There are explanations there about the graphs.. I am sorry I can't give you more information. I tried to copy more of this thread but Tumblr won't recognize the link. As far as I know the information is valid, but as we all know you must question everything today.
I went back and copied 2 of the sources used for the graphs in the thread. There were some questions for others on the data used, and this was what the person who posted said he used. I do not have the background to ascertain how accurate the graphs are. This is the best I can do.
Other graphs were also posted which were discussed.

In the last 7 days we've gone from 6 to 13 to 40 to IDK how many confirmed cases of covid at the Olympics, and y'all still wanna tell me "the pandemic is over". Stupid, careless, eugenicist cunts. I'm killing you with my mind.
