"COVID-19 could lead to a protein build-up similar to that seen in Alzheimer's patients – not just in the brain, but also in the eyes, according to a new study led by Yale University." sciencealert.com/covid-can-caus…

🧵1/ 🚨 New study alert! We analyzed 162 Long COVID patients at a South Texas rehab clinic and found something striking: neuropsychiatric symptoms (like brain fog, insomnia, anxiety, and depression) are major drivers of Long COVID complexity. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… #LongCOVID
This is still astonishing... 🔥"at least 70% of inpatient Covid cases in Wales 🏴 were the result of hospital-acquired SARS-CoV-2 infection" We have learned nothing!
Nosocomial Covid in Wales 'Number of inpatient Covid-19 cases in hospital in Wales' On 20 July 2025, at least 70% of inpatient Covid cases in Wales were the result of hospital-acquired SARS-CoV-2 infection... (PHW data and table)

Very tired of refusal to implement #airborne protections, and thus of the ongoing #pandemic we could have ended years ago and this is why I #persist #YallMasking #MaskUp #WearAMask #N95 #CovidIsAirborne
Yeah its very common to have a cold that lasts a few days and snowballs into pneumonia, in July... among elite cyclists. Well, it used to be uncommon. Now its every Tour de France. Whether they say Covid or not, we can all but guarantee it derails racers annually.
Lots of illness this year. The difference is last year they said covid once in a while. This year its always a virus or pneumonia...
Government quietly releases multiple disability research reports on the same day… but eight days too late for MPs who voted for cuts #UniversalCredit #UniversalCreditBill #DWP disabilitynewsservice.com/government-qui…

I was at a restaurant in my hometown (Shaughnessy's Cove in Summerland, BC) and noticed the outdoor air conditioning system. Whether they know it or not, they are using aerosol science to cool the air. I figured I’d put together a thread to explain how these work.
Covid levels have been low for a while, yet a 'low' week still means 71 deaths across the UK: equivalent to double-decker bus full of potentially preventable deaths. We need to do better!

WHY SARS-CoV-2 REMAINS the MOST DANGEROUS VIRUS of ALL TIME ? (🧵 mega-thread)
Why don't experts acknowledge that everyone should wear a mask to protect themselves from infection (not just 'high risk groups') and that even 'mild' cases of C19 can cause long-term health problems? theconversation.com/covid-flu-rsv-…
If you want to see respirators in healthcare settings, please provide your comments on CSA’s proposed standard BEFORE 19 Aug. publicreview.csa.ca/Home/View/2256… You don’t have to be Canadian to comment. Once a precedent is set for Canada, it will be easier to roll out in other countries.
The CSA has put forward a proposed standard and if this standard is adopted, respirators will be required in Canadian health care settings by default. Your feedback can help. publicreview.csa.ca/Home/View/2256…
Doctors are to be given training in better ways to diagnose and treat people with ME - as part of a long delayed action plan that's finally been published. The debilitating condition with a range of symptoms including severe exhaustion and constant pain, affects around 400,000…
Dear @Channel4News, at some point could you ask ministers as to why, two decades ago, government cash was given to the dubious #pacetrial when, nearly two decades prior to that, government was given a lengthy questionnaire, filled out by patients, hinting at physiological causes?
@MattChorley only asked @BBCHughPym for his general views of the pandemic who answered as though the pandemic was over and gave the impression that he thinks Covid is no big deal now. He also blamed lockdowns for children’s mental health problems. So it was as uninformed as ever.
