This 15-minute powerful documentary captures the impact of #LongCovid on one family - the incredibly brave Rosie who has had Long Covid for 3 years and her father @baldypidge. Thanks @GrantWakefield4 for your work on this.
Rosie's art is superb!🌟

🚨 Long COVID is a significant health crisis in China too!

My commentary on the largest Chinese study to date, involving 74,075 participants, which found that 10-30% of them reported long COVID symptoms such as fatigue and brain fog #LongCovid

thelancet.com/journals/lanwp…
The features of Long Covid reported in this Chinese study are remarkably similar to those reported in studies conducted in other parts of the world.

This underscores the consistency of Long Covid features across national borders and cultures!!!

thelancet.com/journals/lanwp…
The study also shows that:

🔸Reinfections increase risk of Long Covid
🔸Vaccines reduce risk of Long Covid

This is also consistent with evidence from studies performed in other parts of the world.

Here is the first randomized trial to show that an antiviral can prevent Long Covid.

In the PANORAMIC trial, people randomized to molnupiravir had less risk of Long Covid than people who received no antivirals

My comment in the link below. A short🧵
thelancet.com/journals/lanin…
The study included people with at least one risk factor for progression to severe COVID-19 illness.

People randomized to molnupiravir or usual care (no antivirals) were followed for 6 months

thelancet.com/journals/lanin…
People who were randomly assigned to molnupiravir during the acute phase of COVID-19 had better outcomes at 3 months and 6 months than those randomly assigned to usual care

🧵1/ A Significant surge in the number of people with a disability in the U.S.

The @stlouisfed just released an analysis using data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), revealing some concerning trends. Here’s what they found:

#Disability #DisabilityJustice #LongCovid Image
2/ Above Trend Increase in Disability
Since 2019, the number of disabled individuals has surged beyond the expected trend by nearly 2 million. This isn't just a statistical anomaly—it's a huge indicator of a deeper, underlying health crisis.Image
3/ Cognitive Disabilities Skyrocket
Most alarming is the rise in cognitive disabilities. The population reporting only a cognitive disability has grown by nearly 1 million—a 43% increase since 2019.
