If it’s not stated already, I’ll just put this out into the mastodon sphere -
➡️ we should care about long COVID and do more to investigate it
➡️ I support masking. Like. A lot. And vaccinations.
➡️ best way to protect yourself is not get infected in the first place
➡️ good public health puts equity as the core mission
➡️ COVID is serious and still ongoing

@Drneuro although not mandatory i’m still testing regularly and wearing a mask as I work with vulnerable people. I also don’t want to catch it again myself having been quite poorly when I had it in March despite being triple vaccinated at the time. I had my booster a few weeks ago and am grateful I was entitled to have one

(boost with CW) coronavirus, stand up

@Drneuro where can i unsubscribe from your blog posts, mr. changthony fauci-son?

@Drneuro Wholeheartedly agree. Have Close family with serious conditions and of course as a Senior I feel vulnerable too. We are not doing enough. We are not doing the bare minimum. There is enough research regarding Long Covid that indicates a future Public Health crisis.

@Drneuro thank you. I have to say many of your Neurology colleagues in the UK DGAF about LC. The research is really accumulating now tho, CNS and PNS dysregulation, all potentially treatable yet NOPE.

@Drneuro YES, PLEASE! My wife and I have been unemployed with Long COVID since November of 2020 and NOBODY seems to care!

@RockyC I’m sorry for this and you’re not alone. Many have been occupationally displaced due to long COVID. You all deserve support

@Drneuro I don't get these people. I've never heard you veer from this messaging.

@longcovid some (especially those that don’t follow me) will take my bird app posts and twist them into a nasty narrative that I am minimizing. Bad info is still bad info. We can support long COVID by getting better data.

@Drneuro I have words for them. Too many for a bird app message. I've had enough of people. They made tent lady mad...

@Drneuro @longcovid

How are you collecting the data for long covid? What's the best way to assess your pt and support them in this?

@Drneuro
They could maybe prove a little more support through actions.

@Drneuro Thank you for saying all of this. It's been incredibly disheartening to see such a huge backslide not just in protecting our communities from COVID, but all diseases. I feel like we've backslid into even worse toxic individualism.

@JayHPharmD We can always do better and remind the public (and ourselves) that we're fighting this as a community and should continue pushing for improvements. Very unfortunate that many of us need to put these reminders of what's still at stake.
