🧵 I think I have a very unique & valuable perspective when it comes to SARS-CoV-2. I've spent the 1st three years of the pandemic in one of the the busiest hospital based chemistry/bloodgas labs in the US & the last 20 months as a generalist in a medium sized hospital. 1/

Covid and the mitochondria
I’ve been meaning to do a 🧵 on the premier league ⚽️ & all the subtle signs of Covid in world leading footballers so far this season (season only started in August), so let’s go…
“all the subtle signs of Covid in world leading footballers so far this season”!(2024)
A is circulating (unfortunately spread and amplified by a famous virologist) claiming that is now like influenza.
In 2024, the facts are clear: COVID far outpaced flu in infections, hospitalizations, and deaths.
COVID also carries the added burden of long COVID, a far more complex, multi-system condition than the long-term effects seen with flu.
COVID is not like the flu. It never was!

heartbreaking
SARS-CoV-2 doesn’t seek out the weak.
“With each wave, SC2 leaves in its wake long-term complications, damage to the cardiovascular, neurological, and immune systems, and chronic conditions
Those who might have been considered ‘healthy’ before infection can rapidly transition into the category of the vulnerable”
If you think Covid is only an issue for people who are older or who have preexisting conditions (who we should care about anyway but I digress!!!) please take a minute to look at these comments from formerly healthy college kids

Imagine going to the doctor for treatment for diabetic neuropathy. Only, the doctor tells you diabetes isn't a thing, and suggests your fear of sugar is anxiety disorder, and you're experiencing pain due to anxiety.
This is another TikTok creator who complained of being more susceptible to heat a week ago. She appears to be doing fine right now; she’s at the Netflix Emily in Paris premiere in Italy having fun. But what she described sounds eerily similar

The Crucial Long Covid Symptoms You Need To Look Out For | HuffPost Life
“COVID-19 is a severe and multi-organ disease, which may have lasting consequences on your body even after the virus is cleared from your system.”
Newly disabled 20-somethings never properly informed by their governments about are confused and angry.
“All I was warned about is that I could die if I had comorbidities & [was] old. Had I known it could destroy my life I would have taken more precautions."
Dangerous garbage being presented “science writing”. Two *actual* facts surrounding infection:
“Your risk of #LongCOVID, a currently incurable chronic illness, after surviving an acute COVID infection currently sits conservatively at ~6-7%”
I will never stop talking about the dangers of COVID. I have been sick for four years since August of 2020 (before vaccines were even released). This is real. It is happening. People ignoring it doesn’t make them invincible.

Responding to Long COVID Responsibly - Global Virus Network
“Beyond persistent symptoms, Long COVID is also associated with an increased risk for significant medical events, including major adverse cardiovascular events and new-onset diabetes mellitus.(1) For many people, Long COVID has a significant impact on their ability to work, study, take care of their families, and participate in other activities of daily living. For these reasons, Long COVID is often described as a “mass disabling event.”(2) Long COVID can also lead to financial hardship, social isolation, and mental health challenges.”
Study puts understanding of long COVID and vaccination into question | CIDRAP
“A new study from researchers at the Mayo Clinic suggests that being vaccinated against COVID-19 does little to prevent long COVID.
The findings contradict what has become conventional wisdom in the last 3 years—that vaccines offer a chance to significantly reduce the risk of long COVID, or new or persistent symptoms 3 months or more after infection, most likely by reducing the severity of infection.
Melanie Swift, MD, MPH, was the lead author of the study, which was published in Open Forum Infectious Diseases. She said despite the current thinking that vaccines reduce the risk of developing long COVID, she wasn’t surprised she found no association.”
I failed my 2nd NYS Road Test. I got confused when the tester asked me to parallel park “beside a Lexus” because we don’t parallel park *beside* cars. Once I was confused, it was all downhill from there. Something is wrong with my brain, & apparently I can’t live in the world…
‘General Hospital’ Icon Emma Samms Talks Latest Return to the Show Amid Her Battle With Long COVID (EXCLUSIVE)
“I’ve been like this now for four and a half years nearly, and it’s baffling to not just the people who have it, but it’s baffling to the doctors,” she says. “They are some very smart people who are investigating and studying it and doing research, but all they keep finding is more and more damage that COVID has done to people’s bodies.
“I got some really good scans done and they found that at some point I had had myocarditis, which has scarred my heart,” Samms continues. “The consequences of COVID — I think we still have only just scratched the surface, and it’s terrifying to me that people think we are no longer in a pandemic. Because they so desperately want it to not affect them, they sort of pretend that it is has gone, and it so hasn’t.”
As COVID Surges, the High Price of Viral Denial | The Tyee
“Repeated studies show in the bluntest terms that the initial acute infection is only the tip of the iceberg. Even a mild bout of COVID can leave a legacy of blood clots, heart failure, diabetes, decreased brain function (see sidebar), long COVID (now affecting 400 million people worldwide) and immune damage that increasingly makes people more vulnerable to a plethora of infectious diseases and possibly cancers.
These problems can erupt three years after an infection”
