Wow—CANT MAKE THIS UP—an infamous pro-herd-immunity dude now caught COVID so many times that he can’t even count how many COVID infections! He claims only 2, but screenshots clearly suggest he had 3-4 infections.➡️BONUS: he also boldly proclaimed he has “no need” for mRNA shot 🤦🏻‍♂️
2) this guy (a UCL scientist) loves his natural immunity so much that he triumphantly proclaimed in July 2020 that he would not get the COVID mRNA vaccine because “I had the real thing”…. ➡️as he then proceeds to catch COVID at least 2 more times 👀. My god the gall.
3) Also, apparently somehow zero self reflection on not having his sense of smell fully back after a whole year! The loss of smell from COVID is neurological — hence not sure if you can say the brain is fully okay if you have #LongCovid for that long.

FIRST ever case of a man who suffered agonizing penis pain due to a “mild” #COVID19 infection 3 weeks earlier that caused a blood clot of his penis vein—mid-erection. It took 2 months of blood thinner treatment before he regained normal function. Mild? 🧵 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cc… Image
2) The deep dorsal penis vein runs the whole length of the penis and is involved in supply of oxygenated blood to the organ.

An ultrasound showed “no [blood] flow in the vein” due to a clot around half way along the penis.

3) The unnamed male had suffered penile pain for three days before being seen by a urologist in Iran, who referred him for tests.
The discomfort began following an erection while having sex, the 41-year-old married man told doctors.

2) the free rapid antigen home test ordering process is extremely simple. You can order more if you have more than one address it seems. There isn’t any fine print that says limit one per household. Just one per *residential address*.

3) However, USPS website does validate if the address has had an order placed already before. Thus, please don’t order for a friend’s address without their okay. And it seems **different APARTMENTS are okay** if the address is recognized by USPS to be a known apt building.

OMG - this little girl is the best. She just told you off @BorisJohnson, you naughty boy. #COVID19
Her “But!” 🤷🏻‍♂️ was so priceless.
And her forceful “In lockdown” was just incredible! Her dismay is all of us.

📍NEW—1 in 10 people with #COVID19 still could be infectious beyond 10 days, and some could remain so for as long as 2 months, a new study suggests, and pose risk of onward transmission. Plus, “we wouldn't be able to predict who they are” says author.

2) This is why the safest thing is to TEST out of isolation, rather than using a specific fixed time or based on symptoms—because asymptomatic transmission is also really common.
3) We haven’t gotten really careless in this pandemic lately. hospital-acquired infections of #COVID19 has also surged in many places according to places that collect it. 👇

⚠️Listen up—Top 🇬🇧 scientists warns that “In the last week—there’s now evidence that T-cells…get damaged the same way that HIV and other RNA-virus damage T-cell immunity”. ➡️Prof Costello (@globalhlthtwit) raises serious concerns on #COVID19 & the 🧠—a🧵:
2) “My biggest worry all along has been the long term effects particularly on the brain. We know that people who get brain fog who get fatigue, cognitive problems, & smell and taste is very common—and that means the virus is affecting the brain 🧠”
3) “We know the virus can get intro the brain. We know the virus affects cells around blood vessels. I’m beginning to think—‘how long is this going to last’—because we have allowed millions of children to become infected with the virus.”
