One of those *holy shit* studies.
Covid infection doubling the risk of pulmonary fibrosis.
Like it increases the risk of *so many health problems*.
Pulmonary fibrosis go up after COVID, including in people who were never hospitalized. A study followed more than 61,000 infected patients for up to 4.5 years and found roughly double the risk.
In hospitalized, this may simply be the scarring any severe pneumonia can leave. In non hospitalized, that explanation doesn’t hold. 🧵

Persistent viral, bacterial, parasite & other #infections are increasingly implicated in chronic diseases and aging
We’ve united the top scientists, biotech innovators, and other stakeholders working to study & treat these infections into a 3-day Summit.
Come watch the talks virtually at the link below! 👇
We’re pleased to announce the inaugural PolyBio Convergence Summit will take place this November 18 to 20.
Presentations will explore the latest advances in persistent infections and their emerging roles in conditions such as Long COVID, chronic Lyme disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, and aging. Discussions will focus on the practical challenges that must be addressed to translate these discoveries into validated diagnostics, clinical trials, and effective therapies.

Covid infections speed up your biological clock (not a good thing), and the worst affected are teenagers.
We warned about this, they said we were scaremongering, and now here it is in black and white.
Avoid every covid infection you can.
Mask up.

This is a scandal and more egg on the face of the Ontario Ford government. Shameful.
#NEW: This Ontario family doctor wants an apology after he says the Ford government sent him an ‘intimidating’ letter for working too much #ONpoli

🇨🇦🇺🇦 "You cannot rain missiles down on Ukrainian cities and then send your youth teams to Alberta to play hockey as if you belong to the civilized world.
No Russian or Belarusian teams at the World Junior Championship. Not under your flag. Not under a neutral flag. Not under any pretense. Period."

Translated:
*Covid infection* leaves measurable changes in the immune system, even in people who think they've fully recovered.
Most of the differences they found were between *people who'd had covid* and *people who'd never been infected*.
Long COVID shows IL-1 pathway dysregulation without a discrete circulating biomarker signature. Most soluble biomarker differences primarily distinguished previously infected from uninfected controls rather than PWLC from recovered. frontiersin.org/journals/imm…

Even us hardcore mask wearers and stuff are having a hard time keeping the count low, but it's worth doing, 0 is less than 1, 1 is less than 2, 2 is less than 3! Less is more! :)

What can Covid do?

#LongCOVID recovery depends heavily on the symptom pattern.
➡️ A US NIH-funded RECOVER study followed 1,019 adults with probable Long COVID one year after infection.
➡️ Around 50% experienced sustained symptom improvement over the next three years.
➡️ About 25% achieved complete remission. Recovery was much lower in multisystem LongCOVID: fewer than 19% improved, versus approximately 60% with predominantly smell/taste disturbances.
👉 Key message: Multisystem Long COVID appears to have a substantially more persistent course.

Russia & Belarus are banned from
participating in the World Junior Championship tournament in Canada.

Mark Carney: "Russia and Belarus are supporting this illegal and unjustified horrific war in Ukraine, as long as that's going on, there will be none of those athletes competing for their countries in Canada. So if you're asking specifically about the World Juniors, the Russians will not be there."
