🥁🥁🥁 The first-ever National #LongCovid Awareness Day Town Hall is here! Today, we honour the experiences of Canadians suffering from #LongCovid and advocate for better supportive care. #LongCovidAwareness Register now⤵️ eventbrite.ca/e/national-lon…
"Some research has shown that lingering Covid symptoms are more prevalent in people in their 30s and 40s — when workers are often in the prime of their careers." nytimes.com/2022/05/14/bus…
After the news: Est.10% of #COVID infections result in #LongCovid symptoms. #Ontario's expert @AngelaMCheung w/ @UHN guides us thru latest research, challenges accessing care, & burden of cases, Also @AlykhanAbdulla and you. @LongCovidGroup #onpoli cbc.ca/news/politics/…
. @CPHO_Canada says new research shows as many as 50% of people who get infected develop #LongCovid which is up from previous estimates of 10-20% cp24.com/sports/public-…
The only way to avoid getting #LongCovid is to not get COVID in the first place. Glad to see this important issue is increasingly on the radar but messaging needs to make it clear that vaccinated people are also at risk of developing long COVID (like me).

Vaccines are no match for long Covid. Treating it is science's next great challenge | Danny Altmann theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
What’s the big deal? Why not just tell my boss and coworkers I’m working at 50% with a mysterious condition with no clear outlook for the indefinite future - Should be chill! #LongCovid
This is why people don’t share they have #LongCovid 👇 “30% had impairments in work performance [after infection]. Experiences of stigma & discrimination were reported by 43%. This study revealed significant impacts of #LongCovid on local communities” nature.com/articles/s4159…
This hits close to home. Before #longCOVID I ran 20km a week (w/a delightful chocolate lab running buddy). So shout out to the 30-ish guy mentioned who still isn't back at it. I see you. For runners who got COVID-19, recovering is harder than they thought cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
What a *great* time to ease restrictions
With joy.

This is why journalism done in the public interest is so crucial to our democracy. Imagine if there was no coverage of the Greenbelt issue. Please pay for news if you value the contribution it makes to society. thestar.com/politics/provi…
Anyone who’s an adult today more-or-less got that choice, that freedom to start fresh with your online presence, and we have to keep giving that to the kids to come.
Lastly, we badly need the support of other folks to recognize & champion this issue. We can’t expect those suffering to carry this torch alone. This is a condition that can affect anybody, & with unmitigated spread it will impact everyone, whether it’s you or a loved one.
#DidYouKnow that next week is the first National #LongCOVID Awareness Day? We’ll be chatting with the incredible Dr. Akiko Iwasaki (@VirusesImmunity). Grab a coffee and listen in right here on Twitter! Mon June 6 10:30am ET / 7:30am PT #ScienceUpFirst 🧵[1/2]

@melindista is your Dr feeling adventurous? Just saw they are looking into Paxlovod for long covid as a few people have tried it with excellent results.
“We are also living our lives, but we are trying to do it in a way that accounts for others in our community.”
@melindista With Omicron, you could just be exposed for moments with someone who has it and then get infected! Is the air in your condo recirculated in your building??? As for long covid. Google Bruce Patterson Long Covid. He's farther along than anyone in curing Long Covid!
@CaulfieldTim @melindista It's just sort of nice to know that if the only place you go is the grocery store - & suspect that's the source that PERHAPS this is an event you should re-schedule.
@melindista Antihistamines could be a good start. Benadryl/unisom at night and Allegra or Ephederine during the day has shown to help some. And it's cheap to try

@melindista @melindista can I talk to you for an article I am drafting about breakthrough infections, in light of imminent BA.2 spike
@melindista I found wool/cashmere cloths/pants/beanies/socks helped to keep warm. I ware cashmere beanie while sleeping. The body repairs itself when kept warm. Take sun bath daily if possible. The sun is not the same as heat from heater. The sun heals.
@melindista Hi. I had covid on Feb 20. 2 years later my body still get tired. But it is getting better. The secret is sun bath. Think of the inside of your body like a piece of wet cloth with holes leaking energy, how can you dry/sew it up? My answer is to hang it up in the sun. Keep warm🙂
"Please stop asking me where I got COVID" cbc.ca/news/canada/fi… by @melindista🙏 Agree. I hear so many people assert that so and so got it at this or that gathering, etc. But as Melinda notes, is it helpful to frame getting COVID as a personal failure? Nope. #ScienceUpFrist
