Study looking at #LongCovid 2 years after infection:
Despite exercise, respiratory & olfactory rehab, cognition/speech therapy & psychological support, the main symptoms (fatigue, neurocognition, muscle) did not resolve.
Only 9% of patients recovered. 1/

Important piece by @WPLN that shows the very real and dangerous risks of #LongCOVID. It is worth taking painless precautions like mask-wearing to avoid debilitating, life-altering post-COVID symptoms. https://t.co/hUMhTlnlus

🚨 #LongCovid & #LongCovidKids are not noise.
🚨 4 MILLION Americans no longer able to work is not noise.
🚨 #COVID19 making folks more prone to other illness is not noise.

There you have it—@WHO official says: the more times a person gets COVID, the more likely they are to be ‘unlucky’ and get #longCOVID, which “none of us want because it can be so serious”.
Let’s #BringBackMasks & bring in ventilation & air disinfection.

@ScienceTM, a potential contributing factor

X Only 6% of immunocompromised Americans have received Evusheld prevention
X The “Community” level metric is contrived and deceptive
