If pasta, bread, and red meat are so bad, why do Europeans live to 100+ and stay healthy? But when Americans consume these? They get chronically sick. After some researchβ¦ I found the disturbing truth that explains exactly what's going on: π§΅

Tonight on #HIGNFY @Feargal_Sharkey took less than a minute to say what millions across the world have wished for in the Middle East for decades. I hope and pray those in a position to make it happen make it happen. Thank you Feargal for sharing your dream. You are a good man.

These maps are crucial for understanding the region's history, its present, and some of the most important stories there today.

Processing speed impacts how much you can hold in your head, how you weave the world together and make sense of it, the thoughts that come up when you think about the people, places, ideas that you love. It turns those processes into just a void, a blank wall. #LongCovid 5/

Processing speed impacts memory, because it impacts how fast you can register memories. It impacts emotional awareness & how fast it takes to know how you're feeling. The downstream impacts of having suddenly lower processing speed affect identity in a serious way. #LongCovid 4/

It is hard to overestimate the impact of processing speed deficits. Unfortunately, these seem to be the primary difficulties we see in our Covid-19 long-haulers who can't think on their feet, can't respond to questions or requests, and cannot 'keep up.' @CIBScenter

Whilst the world looks at what is happening in the United Kingdom with real sadness every one of our institutions is bent on sustaining the fiction, for domestic voters, that what is happening is 'normal'. It's a profound, an almost unforgivable, betrayal of their purposes.

1/ ON ILLNESS AND HEALTH I have been a doctor for coming up 32 years, both hospital and GP through most of that time. I know what ill patients look like. I understand the illness process, its patterns and flows. I also understand what health looks and feels like.

RSV rates are not higher this year. More kids are ending up in hospital, though. That is NOT consistent with "immunity debt" (even the weaksauce, trivially true population version), and it IS compatible with immunity damage from SARS-CoV-2 infection.

A word on the idiocy known as "immunity debt". How did such a nonsensical idea take hold? Simple. The obvious mental model for our immune system is a muscle: use it or lose it. Muscles atrophy when we don't use them. The same mental model works for our memories & skills. 1/19
