CDC quietly added this without any press highlighting—“Emerging evidence suggests that #SARSCoV2, that causes #COVID19, can have lasting effects on nearly every organ and organ system of the body weeks, months, and potentially YEARS after infection.” #LongCovid So @CDCDirector ?
Rising Risks with COVID Reinfection
The study shows increased likelihood of hospitalization, cardiovascular effects, blood disorders, diabetes, fatigue, kidney damage, mental health effects, musculoskeletal damage, neurological deficits, and pulmonary damage with each COVID-19 infection
Repeat COVID Infection Doubles the Risk of Death
New study: "Getting COVID-19 a second time doubles a person’s chance of dying and triples the likelihood of being hospitalized...Vaccination and booster status did not improve survival or hospitalization rates among people who were infected more than once"
Does COVID-19 impact our ability to exercise?
Long COVID study: "muscles pulled less oxygen from the bloodstream than normal, heart rates didn’t increase in line with what is typical of exercise...researchers found this group had exercise performance of someone a decade older than their actual age."
Multiorgan impairment in low-risk individuals with post-COVID-19 syndrome: a prospective, community-based study
"In individuals at low risk of COVID-19 mortality with ongoing symptoms, 70% have impairment in one or more organs 4 months after initial COVID-19 symptoms, with implications for healthcare...which assumed low risk in young people with no comorbidities."
Long-COVID post-viral chronic fatigue and affective symptoms are associated with oxidative damage, lowered antioxidant defenses and inflammation: a proof of concept and mechanism study
"..31.7% of the Long COVID patients had severe abnormalities in SpO2, body temperature, increased oxidative toxicity & lowered antioxidant defenses.. results suggest that post-viral somatic & mental symptoms have a neuroimmune & neuro-oxidative origin."

Amazing news - paper in @Nature reporting that SARS-CoV-2 acts like a histone, thus blocking host epigenome.
Translation: DNA in our cells is packaged into chromosomes, and these are held together by histones, which are a kind of protein. Histones have to be unwrapped, then

Long thread - 1) When the pandemic started I immediately started looking for the long term problems that people who were long haulers in the previous SARS pandemic faced , that allowed me to focus on the expected issues ctd@LongCovidKids

Remember: we knew covid and #LongCovid were causing coagulopathy, hypoxia, cardiac events, strokes, vascular damage, kidney damage, damage to the immune system, etc. in 2020 already. Survivors told you so Health bodies and a big part of the medical establishment chose to ignore
