Hey there #COVIDisNotOver friends. My wife @mchristinebd and I put our heads together and made a flier about basic COVID-19 precautions - particularly for small events/gatherings. All the icons and entire flier are CC0/public domain/free to use: https://t.co/mt1in24cHQ 🧵1/2

For the billionth time: Most of the 'symptoms' of an infection (fever cough tiredness etc) are your body fighting the infection. The later symptoms are the work of the actual pathogen… and they're the ones that your body is trying to prevent.

I really truly thought after 5 years we would have something .. anything. The more time goes by, the more it feels like there won’t be anything. No help, no cure, no mitigations, no clean air

Children face double the risk of Long COVID following SARS-CoV-2 reinfection. Results from a large study of >400,000 children showing increased risk of cardiac damage, mental health, and other symptoms. Reducing the number of reinfections is critical

5 years ago today, I was a happy, healthy 34 year old. I had the rest of my life ahead of me, a career. Today, like millions of others, I’ve been disabled by COVID-19 bc of the logic of the GBD. I am homebound & can’t stand in the shower. May your words return to you 1,000 times.

If you are still COVIDing and could use some emotional support, I host weekly workshops and community sessions. We learn, we grieve, we rage, and we process. You don't have to do this alone.

The study examines measles but I believe the principles are super-useful for COVID transmission. @tferriss can you talk about that at some point? The pursuit of total-body health is degraded by repeated COVID infections, but we can clean air/wear a mask!

I love that @tferriss and James Nestor talk about CO2 monitors like @aranet_home including at hotels. Not sure if they know about https://t.co/F8vzXDPalf that is already doing this. SO CLOSE but skipping how CO2 levels are a proxy for disease transmission:

I remember when they read the 2025 Lancet study on reinfections doubling the risk of #LongCOVID in kids. And rather than wonder what will happen by the 10th reinfection, they do nothing. They lie. https://t.co/B32SH4aVpL

New study in The Lancet Infectious Disease analyzing 460,000 patients across 40 US hospitals found that children’s risk of developing LongCOVID more than doubled upon reinfection, with no significant variation by vaccination status.
