In Hong Kong, researchers followed over 13,800 hospitalized COVID-19 patients and found that those with SARS-CoV-2 rebound had a significantly higher risk of death or hospitalization from long COVID, suggesting rebound may signal persistent infection. nature.com/articles/s4146…
Semmelweis’ recommendation for obstetricians to wash their hands is today’s recommendation to wear an N95 mask 😷 and use clean air precautions against airborne viruses🦠
Yes! The Semmelweis reflex* is a powerful reminder to question our resistance to new evidence. 🙏 🧵1/3
"Calling COVID a cold is like calling a wildfire a cozy campfire."
This Isn’t a Cold! Long Covid- It’s the Lie That’s Breaking Patients, and Providers Many people love to say COVID is just a cold now. A sniffle. Two days in bed, a bowl of soup, back to work. Except a cold never killed a million Americans in one year. A cold never packed…
Yes. @EricTopol Cøvid is a vasculopathy. We will need to rethink Medicine into the future.
Through comprehensive proteomics, blood vessels were the organ first to show aging, of 13 organs assessed, in a cohort of 76 individuals aged 14 to 68 years, with an aging inflection around age 50 cell.com/cell/abstract/…

I Kanada 🇨🇦 har Canadian Standards Association (CSA) nu rekommenderat obligatorisk användning av andningsskydd (FFP2/3, inte simpla munskydd) inom vården och vid vård i hemmet, inom äldrevården etc. Samtidigt i Sverige 🇸🇪: 🥱💤 #svpol
Here is your chance to provide constructive feedback on the proposed updated Canadian Standards Association (CSA) respirator standard which calls for universal respirator use in healthcare settings & when performing patient care outside of healthcare settings (eg – in the home).

1/ Universities, schools and daycares are failing their students on #LongCOVID. It's time they step up, protect students, and reduce #COVID19 cases. The situation at Stanford is a harsh example. 🧵 #UniversitiesFailStudents #LongCOVIDAction
Cardiovascular post-acute sequelae of COVID in children & adolescents: cohort study (April 2025) Researchers found that people (12-20 years old) risk of experiencing a wide variety of heart problems can increase in the 6 months after COVID. recovercovid.org/publications/c…
Tilastotietoa Yhdistyneiden kuningaskuntien terveydenhoitojärjestelmästä (NHS) ja lähinnä siitä mitä covid19 tapausten jälkeen nähdään tapahtuvan hoitohenkilökunnan poissaolotilastoissa ja kuolemantapauksissa (ketju)
Young doctors in England are getting sicker - and fast. For decades the levels of sickness absence of NHS Staff were stable, until Covid infections arrived. Now, in all three of these groups, sickness absence rates have *more than doubled*. And they're STILL CLIMBING.
Expect plenty of misinformation & disinformation as COVID transmission heats up. It's often fueled by low health literacy and numeracy, defense mechanisms (anxiety), clout seeking, or social media revenue. I discuss this in the Pandemic 5-year Anniversary video around 7:03.
4) Misinformation is based on cognitive biases that steer people toward easy-but-bad data or lead them to overestimate their skills. Disinformation can be blatant or grounded in specious pseudo-scientific arguments. Financial COIs are often the cause.

Hyviä kysymyksiä kirjoittajalla @Laakariliitto @duodecim Miksi pitkäaikaissairauksien ei opeteta lääketieteellisissä tiedekunnissa johtuvan infektioista? Reumatologit ymmärtäisivät kompleksisia sairauksia mm fibromyalgia, ME, LC, joiden tiedetään olevan biologisia. @STM_Uutiset
