This is looking like it will be another whopper of a flu season in the northern hemisphere as China now finds out. Clearly they’re dealing with a nasty H3N2 subtype that’s evolving quickly and infecting their vast population rapidly.

SARS-CoV-2. It’s not a winter virus. It doesn’t only affect old people. It doesn’t have a low mortality rate. It’s deadly and disabling. 😷

Back in the early stages of the pandemic, I was shouted down for warning that long covid would cause tens of billions of pounds of damage to our economy. Yesterday the BBC put the figure at eighty six billion.

@BirdieBittern Urgh this is so sad to see, my Brain Tumour symptoms were dismissed as anxiety + baby brain fog + pre-natal depression when I went to A&E/GP almost 17 years ago...

@BirdieBittern I watched a programme called grand designs last night. The couple both had brain tumours 🤯😱😳😤 Wtf - how are people not seeing what’s happening here?! They must be in so much denial

@AutonomicBrad @BirdieBittern Type 1 diabetes is not typically associated with EDS (but can mean other autoimmune disease will develop such as thyroid/celiac). Covid itself however is now associated with new T1D- even in adults.

@BornFree_isms @BirdieBittern hEDS is the only type of EDS that isn’t currently testable genetically but hopefully that changes soon. Here is a potential linkage that I spoke of.

@AutonomicBrad @BirdieBittern I have new T1D (from Covid), they initially tested for additional autoimmune. Having known a number of T1D’s I’ve never heard of this. Did your mom have obvious symptoms?

@BirdieBittern AML is a devastating diagnosis for anyone but particularly someone this young🥲. I’ve lost 2 people to it. A friend has an indolent return of a chronic lymphoma. Her mRNA shots might help to keep it that way. I hope so. 🙏🏼

@BirdieBittern It WAS in her head, just not like that…so many people are not going to survive these conditions… Our medical systems have become so warped by COVID denial, “brain fog”, & paranoid beliefs like all patients are malingering drug seekers—they’re no longer functioning as intended.

@BirdieBittern Both GJH and extreme hypermobility are significant risk factors for Long COVID. People with extreme hypermobility are at particularly high risk of developing Long COVID after an initial COVID-19 infection https://t.co/z0HqyIa3Zr
