An absolutely remarkable #Covid paper from UCSF. What did they find? 1. Fibrin binds spike protein 2. Forms proinflammatory blood clots 3. Clots drive systemic thromboinflammation & brain pathology, including #LongCovid 4. NK cell loss is seen & explains increase in #cancer

Since the late 1970s we've lost over 800,000 Americans to AIDS in the past 4.5 years we've lost around 1.2 million Americans to COVID We think of the former as a horribly mismanaged crisis that devalued the lives of people at risk... but we're nailing it with the latter?

Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him

study funded by Defense Health Agency + DARPA “US Marines with mostly either asymptomatic or mild acute COVID-19, one fourth reported physical, cognitive, or psychiatric long-term sequelae of infection.” (2/7)

#CovidIsNotOver This is my 15th semester teaching RN and NP students about Covid 19 pathophysiology. Not a lot has changed except for how much damage we now know the virus causes. It still baffles me that people don’t know it’s airborne, don’t know the risks. 1

Why is going through this preferable to wearing a māsk??

COVID-19, flu and RSV are all currently spreading in NYC. Wearing a mask in crowded indoor settings can help protect you and protect others if you’re sick. Well-fitting masks, such as KN95s, KF94s or N95s, provide the best protection: on.nyc.gov/covid19prevent…

The WHO says we’re still in a pandemīc, still urges maskīng in their official guidance, and says you can’t afford to pretend like it’s over.

Today is the sharpest 1-week relative increase in Covid transmission (54%) since the BA.1. Omicron surge in December 2021.

One day like today I was discharged from the ICU after a severe #Covid19 infection.I remember saying to the doctor “I still have many symptoms, they will pass right?-Yes, in three weeks.” It’s been 4years, two heart attacks, relearning to walk,fatigue and chronic pain. #LongCovid

Stop past tensing the Pandemic we are in. We hear this on the news every day and from politicians saying ‘during the Pandemic’. It’s incorrect and odd that you keep doing this! We are still officially in one and World Health Organization (WHO) are accusing you of ‘past tensing it’ and they are correct! 🧵

Heads up chaps, Covid's about to kick us squarely in the gonads again according to my maths. Wes Streeting Hugh Pym I'm expecting the fastest case growth since Omicron first emerged. You're welcome. I realise you won't do anything but you're welcome anyhow. CC: Dominic Cummings

Everyone knows that cigarettes are bad for you and cause lung cancer. But did you know that the vast majority of cigarette smokers will never develop lung cancer? 80%+ of current cigarette smokers will not develop lung cancer

Of course not. Because we can't predict who will actually develop lung cancer, we assume that everyone will, and then discourage smoking as much as possible. If you convince 100 people who would have smoked not to smoke, you don't save 100 lives, but you save 10 or 15
