This is Biden in December 2019 Before his covid infection. A neuroscientist said: "I've never seen the type of damage SarsCov2 leaves behind (in the brain) after infection with other viruses." You'll never convince me COVID hasn't played its part in this #Biden threadreaderapp.com/thread/18066...

Late night discussion about why former east Berlin neighbourhoods have greater Covid denial & less testing than former West Berlin + migrant background areas. Covid in wastewater similar across the city & higher than this time last year. So much for once having a DDR physicist-trained chancellor.

The number of people in my timeline in different networks saying they just got COVID for the first time is absolutely overwhelming. For the love of God, wear a mask in indoor spaces; it's the least we can do for one another.

So sounds like the rate of Long Covid is climbing to 20% of the population from conservative estimates of 10% a year ago. Cool cool cool cool cool. Are you ready to start wearing an N95 mask 😷 or do you want to be part of bringing it up to 30%?

“We are completely under-investigating this virus,” said Douglas C. Wallace, a University of Pennsylvania geneticist and evolutionary biologist. “The effects of repeatedly getting this throughout our lives is going to be much more significant than people are thinking.” #Covid #LongCovid #GiftLink
‘Unusual’ cancers emerged after the pandemic. Doctors ask if covid is to blame.wapo.st It’s not a new idea that viruses can cause or accelerate cancer. But it will probably be years before answers emerge about covid and cancer.

The new report says that some health effects of Long COVID, including chronic fatigue and post-exertional malaise, cognitive impairment, and autonomic dysfunction, can impair an individual’s ability to work or attend school for six months to two years or more after COVID-19 infection.
'Patients with a mild case of COVID-19 can go on to develop Long COVID with severe health effects. Risk factors for poor functional outcomes from LC include being female, lack of or inadequate vaccination against COVID-19, preexisting disability or comorbidities, and smoking.' @theNASEM

Excellent summary of THAT paper from @actuarybyday.bsky.social and @chrischirp.bsky.social why paper is misleading nonsense & should be retracted from BMJ. The newspapers who published misleading stories should publish a retraction statement. Misinformation causes great harm 🧪

Dust particles absorb and scatter sunlight thus having a cooling effect. A sort of Teleconnection between the dust decline in parts of asia and the #warming-arctic has been reported👇🏽. We need to understand & stress the fact that the #Arctic isn't isolated from the global #climate 🧪🎢 #PolarClimate

Open the NYTimes this AM. Kingsbury & her team have made the Alina Chan & Zeynep Tufecki pieces into front page news. Both stories are deeply flawed. I tried to go thru both quickly over the past few days and @kgandersen.bsky.social and @gorskon.bsky.social took the Chan piece apart in detail. 1/
