“The only other virus that attacks and kills T-cells is HIV, which causes AIDS, said Katzenback.”

Maybe repeatedly infecting our kids with SARSCoV2 wasn’t such a great idea?

Guess we’ll find out.

“With the loss of these T-cells, we are now more vulnerable to all of these other infections, other viruses, other bacteria,” said Katzenback.

“Individuals who are infected with COVID have many fewer T-cells,” said Katzenback. “That’s a problem for us because T-cells are a really important part of our immune system that helps defend us against infection.”

Das Alter hat keinen Einfluss auf die InfektiositÀt von #SARSCoV2 - Kinder aller Altersgruppen produzieren hohe Mengen an infektiösen Viren

ob es einen Unterschied in der InfektiositÀt des Virus gibt, das von Kindern mit #COVID19 produziert wird, haben wir die virale RNA-Konzentration (klinische RT-qPCR CT) und die infektiösen Virustiter von 144 SARS-CoV-2-positiven klinischen Proben von Kindern im Alter Image

Even een samenvatting van wat er zoal in een Duitse #LongCovid kliniek voor kinderen gebeurt: 1) grote bloedafname (+/- 30 buisjes) om te kijken naar microstolsels, auto antilichamen en nog veeeel meer 2) lumbar punctie (analyse v hersenvloeistof) 3) analyse v POTS/dysautonomie
(iig Schellong), 4) 24 uur EKG van het hart , 5) 24 uur lang urine opvangen en testen, 6) analyse van de ontlasting 7) MRI scan van de hersenen, 8) CT scan van het hart, 9) long functie analyse en scans 10) EEG van de hersenen... kan zijn dat ik dingen vergeet...
In ieder geval beter dan in NL (ergo, physio of als je geluk hebt een revalidatie arts en als je pech hebt als ouder Veilig Thuis!?). Echt beste @MinVWS mensen, met bijv een hersenontsteking heb je niet veel aan fysio!?

“I always have in back of my mind – how can these insights from #LongCovid help people with ME/CFS & other post-acute phases of infections.. I’m so excited about receiving this award because it shows long Covid & ME/CFS are diseases of global significance.”theguardian.com/society/2023/m

“What similarities have been found in the biology of these two illnesses?”


@VirusesImmunity: One you’ve probably heard of is #microclots, which appear to be happening in a large fraction of people from #LongCovid and potentially #MECFS”
“These are tiny little clots in the blood that may be impairing oxygen exchange & other important functions of the circulation. The way blood oxygen is being utilised by tissues also appears to be impaired, which could be due to microclots as well as mitochondrial dysfunction.”

Ich weiß nicht, wie da die aktuelle Situation bei euch so ist. Ob ihr angesprochen, angegangen oder gar angegriffen werdet, wenn ihr #Maske tragt! #TeamVorsicht ♄

Erst einmal DANKE das ihr ĂŒberhaupt noch beim Team #Maskebleibtauf seid!♄ Jede:r mit Maske hilft Infek-
tionen (jetzt mal allgemein gesprochen) einzudÀmmen.

Bei mir hier ists so, dass ich gar nicht darauf angesprochen werde. Insgesamt nur 2x nach Wegfall aller #Praeventionsmaßnahmen . Vielleicht liegt es am Ort, oder Gebiet? Keine Ahnung. Aber ich lese ja aufmerksam mit und weiß,
dass es anderen Ortes sehr anders sein kann.

Ich frage mich immer, was veranlasst Menschen, wildfremde Menschen, so ĂŒbergriffig zu sein? Was soll denn das? Es geht doch nun wirklich nicht jeden Hinz und Kunz an, 'warum' wir 'immer noch' #Maske tragen! Und dabei ist es erst Mal

Day 3 of covid infection for my 6 year old. It’s been horrific. This evening has been torrential nose bleeds and this is what his skin now looks like. It NEVER looked like this before, he’s never suffered with nose bleeds. #LongCovidKids #LongCovid #MedTwitter Image
Thank you for all the replies. I called 111 and am waiting on a call now within the hour apparently. His nose bleeds have stopped. I am getting ready to take him in. Difficulty is I have Covid too. My husband has covid and is in bed unable to move. My 8yr old is still awake.
Update: saw a Dr. Said she wasn’t concerned as ‘Covid doesn’t affect chn’. But also said that loads of children are left with skin like this đŸ€·đŸœâ€â™€ïž plus bad nose bleeds as it ‘does something to the blood vessels’. We came home. She had a blue surgical worn mask under her nose đŸ€ŠđŸœâ€â™€ïžđŸ˜·đŸŠ

“Mr O’Connell said the Government statement that #LongCovid in kids is rare, and they tend to recover’ was very upsetting for their family.”

“It's not that rare and my kid hasn’t recovered”newstalk.com/news/long-covi

“He's gone from the first instance with mild symptoms – he recovered but wasn't 100% – to the second time he got it, his symptoms increased dramatically.” #LongCovid
Mr O’Connell said prior to Jake contracting COVID, he was a very energetic young boy.

Something @WHO fail to acknowledge is the mental torture the CØVid aware have faced for years now.

Following the science,watching briefings/Q&As with @mvankerkhove @DrMikeRyan
Reading studies, tracking VOCs.
Caring.
Has led us to be vilified, ostracised & abused.
Martyrs💔
None of what @WHO comes out with makes it into the mainstream(Unless the word "Over" is involved)
Therefore it's null & void.

The more we know. The worse the ignorant will treat us. The further underground the vulnerable will be pushed.
Quite literally in far too many cases 💔
My message to @WHO is;
(Not that they care- this is cathartic)

You have the floor. Use it wisely.

Don't push SARS-CoV2 into the past,while adults & children die or become debilitated daily
#LongCovid

In the eyes of the grieving & vulnerable we are still in an emergency.

So, lots about @WHO calling an end to the #PHEIC
First, this is a response, and it has a defined set of criteria. Whether or not these are met doesn't actually mean that #COVID isn't a pandemic, it's an interpretation of guidance and is pretty arbitrary, really.
Second, and this
really IS important...whether or not the WHO, mainstream/social media, or any other form of messaging put this across properly, national governments will have been briefed IN FULL, AHEAD of time, with the five pillars of the ongoing response in black and white, LARGE FONT etc...
Third, that certain Governments refuse to heed these recommendations, or even bother to review their own policies on how they're handling things is down to them, NOBODY else.
My opinion, fwiw, is that this is an abdication of public health responsibility that, as usual, affects

If you do one thing today, listen to cardiologist Dr Rae Duncan on #COVID19 #LongCovid &what Covid could be doing to our children.
It is heartfelt and genuine from someone who has seen the devastating effects of long Covid.
Excerpts below.
via @YouTube
She details that prior to the pandemic the average age of referrals to her cardiology clinic was aged 55-80yrs.
Now it is 16-40yrs
Now at least 50% are long Covid with cardiovascular symptoms.
What she says about these patients is utterly heartbreaking.
It mirrors what I see.
Some cannot stand up due to severe #POTS
Some are in wheelchairs
Some are in bed 23 hours a day with only 15 minutes where they can speak

COVID leads to Long COVID. We know the more reinfections someone has, the higher the odds of long-term persistence & organ damage.

Why is the government still pursuing a pro-infection policy that exposes millions of children to repeat infections?

#LongCovidKids
#LongCovid
Research has proven that clean indoor air promotes good health and a better education.

We need updated standards that meet the demand COVID imposes. Protecting children in schools protects the entire community from the in-school transmission of many diseases, not just COVID. Image
Updating HVAC to monitor CO2 and automatically increase ventilation when CO2 level goes above 600 ppm and filtration that removes 99% of pathogens is the most important investment that we can make. Creating a society that thrives, extending quality of life years or decades.

Going to ask the obvious question & there's an obvious answer.
Why aren't majority of public #LongCovid clinics in #Ireland prescribing medications to manage patient's symptoms & improve quality of life? Uncontroversial meds eg low dose amytryptyline for pain, melatonin etc đŸ€”đŸ€«
These meds have been used for a long time to manage these symptoms.GPs prescribe them every dy for these symptoms.Yet in a specialised clinic FOR LC, majority of ppl getting nothing
..could it be because some of those who'd be writing these scripts aren't convinced LCs physical?
Please RT.
There should be no tolerance for allowing ppl who have outdated biased views on post viral illnesses like ME to be treating very ill & often already medically traumatised #LongCovid patients. The evidence is there. LC is a physical condition. ME also. Not tolerance!
