Yesterday I had to say goodbye to my love and best friend. I’m so absolutely devastated and heartbroken. With living alone and with COVID, I became very dependent on Ash- he was like my emotional support buddy and I don’t know what to do without him.

"High Blood Pressure" is the new Hallmark of COVID. Diastolic High BP.
I am a kidney doctor, a literal blood pressure expert. When Cardiology and Endocrinology need help, they call Nephro.
I have never seen so many Diastolic BPs over 90 and over 100.
After 2021, MOST are high.
I had some time this morning with a family of six.
Two of the kids are currently off school with health problems that started after they repeatedly caught Covid.
The mum has had to stop work because of sky high blood pressure that is only coming down with medication more commonly given to people forty years older than her.
People are *not alright*.

Hey @disney take the billion from this and spend it on putting the PeopleMover back in Disneyland. Also add 100 Country Bear animatronics to the ride. Also make it 2 hours long. Please. Thanks.

Whew, LOTS of #COVID19 out there right now, folks. My texts are full of friends on vacation with one person sick, asking how long they’re contagious, advice for shared hotel rooms, etc. Even if you no longer wear a mask, I’d recommend extra caution for the next few weeks.

We need to share this picture more. A lot of people laugh at the idea that covid can affect everything, but not enough people realize that covid can get everywhere.
ALT A picture of two mice side by side. The one on the left was injected with the flu binding protein and the one on the right was injected with the covid binding protein. The mouse on the left barely lights up but the mouse on the right lights up everywhere because it can bind to any cell that has an ACE2 receptor.

Honestly, I think the chance to *prevent* anything is over, and we're now certainly in the mitigation/survival phase.
For the last two years, I've been thinking we're just waiting on confirmation of full AMOC system collapse, and then news of SMOC reversal comes out of the blue

She is wearing her hair in a ponytail down her shoulder, a black tshirt with the red University of Utah logo, and amber rimmed glasses. Behind her is a grassy rooftop and several silver metal buildings

Post-COVID cognitive decline is real - and visible in the brain.
A new study used brain imaging (PET) + EEG to analyze people with “brain fog” months after mild COVID-19.
They found:
suppressed brain metabolism
slowed brain waves
even in those never hospitalized.🧵

The NB.1.8.1 variant (Nimbus) causes four distinguished symptoms as follows:
- A sore throat that feels like razor blades,
- Sudden loss of appetite,
- Muscle aches in unusual areas,
- Irritating nasal congestion that lingers.
I wonder if the NB.1.8.1 variant should still be Omicron, although no one is interested in this topic.

It's also bad for the environment and while people mention Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Look up places like Marshall Islands which had tests. It's affected the land and people there in a very negative way.
We are seeing the world ustify the need for them since WW2.

If it turns out the Air India co-pilot raised the flaps instead of retracting the landing gear, and if we yell about the impacts of
COVID on the brain, might people listen this time?

There are no treatments for #LongCovid.
