Good thread about copaganda, racism, and the horrible prison system in the USA.
(my poor attempt at a summary - there are so many topics mentioned!)

Reminder for Long Covid Awareness Day:
Some research studies have found many Long Covid cases meet diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS. And many of those folks never recover.
Your risk of getting Long Covid goes up with each COVID infection. The best way to avoid Long Covid is to avoid getting a COVID infection -- get the vaccine/booster, wear a mask, improve ventilation, etc.

Long Covid Awareness Day post from Solve ME:
https://solvecfs.org/recognizing-long-covid-awareness-day-resources-for-you/
"Long Covid has affected people of all ages and backgrounds.
For many, it means navigating persistent symptoms that disrupt work, family life, and everyday routines.
For others, it has been the start of a much longer journey with infection-associated chronic conditions, including illnesses like ME/CFS and related disorders."

but I am taking as my guest an Epstein survivor from my district and she will attend … a number of them are going that are gonna sit together, and I think it's going to be very powerful for him to have to look at them and for the news media to have to show them exhibiting their bravery."

RE: @tomkindlon@disabled.social
Doctors need ME/CFS education!
"The explosion of ME/CFS cases during and after the COVID-19 pandemic appears to confirm a longstanding hypothesis that the condition usually emerges from an immune insult that attacks the nervous system."
"A literature review in 2020 found that between a third and half of all general practitioners in the UK do not even consider the disease to be a distinct clinical condition, and those that do have no idea how to treat it"

No surprise, but it's good to have some data to back it up

This is your periodic reminder that ambulatory wheelchair users exist. Many folks think wheelchairs are only for those who can't walk at all, or folks who can only take a couple steps.
Wheelchairs and electric scooters are used due to pain, weakness, balance issues, orthostatic intolerance, etc.
