5+ years later and these alarming trends are now considered "normal"
In light of the fact that repeated studies suggest that women are more likely to be develop Long Covid, I think it's really important to know what's happening with the different health conditions that specifically affect women. This is a painful thread at times.

Should I move to northern New Mexico or Colorado to prepare for the imminent (2035 - 2050, according to @SunWeatherMan) pole shift, when the galactic current sheet will trigger the sun to micronova, sending off material that will unlock the Earth's crust, causing it to rotate 90

call me crazy but I don’t think there should be “agricultural billionaires” who control “a large chunk of California’s water”
Lynda and Stewart Resnick, the agricultural billionaires known for privately controlling a large chunk of California's water, are selling an Aspen property for $300 million. If it sells for anything close to that, it will set a record for the most expensive house in the country.

Covid is wrecking T-cells in study after study, yet people still act like it’s just a cold. This virus doesn’t care if you “believe” in it, denial doesn’t erase T-cell depletion or immune dysfunction.

So you’re aware, if you wear glasses, that’s a mobility aid and you’re disabled. Glasses are just so normalized that most people don’t see it as such. Imagine if most mobility aids were that way. Imagine how much more respect disabled people would get. It’s completely possible.

I've just read this paper in full and what struck me was not just the very high prevalence of cognitive impairment and memory issues as sequelae of infection, but also that the population effects of such high rates of cognitive dysfunction must be changing society itself.
A meta-analysis from Egypt of 125 studies involving over 4 million COVID survivors shows that months to years after infection, fatigue was the most common symptom at 43%. Around 27% of people experience cognitive impairment after COVID infection. 1/

I just think we should be prepared for the fact that some ppl are more vulnerable and we will be disposed of long before some sort of societal recognition of covids wide ranging effect.

4) This figure from the video shows that in 2025 COVID #ExcessDeaths in the U.S. rival deaths from lung #cancer. Should governments support more OR less COVID research, outreach, and publicly-funded mitigation?
