Researchers from a university in Brazil found that COVID increased the risk of having an ischemic stroke, or stroke caused by a blood vessel blockage, by 76%.

Moroccan researchers landmark study tracking SARS2 mutations through 2021-2024, found Omicron carries up to 89 mutations helping adapt to escape immune response, more transmissible, with nearly 8 in 10 patients developing significant symptoms particularly in the 20-40 age group. Moroccan Scientists Map COVID-19 Mutations in Breakthrough Study  The Moroccan team analyzed 235 patient samples, providing a precise view of how the virus changed over time within the country.  Firdaous NaimbyFirdaous Naim   Aug, 22, 2025 Morocco tour packages
“This shows how remarkably the virus adapts to escape immune defenses.”

“Although Delta was more likely to cause severe illness, Omicron proved more transmissible.”

The important thing to remember, and likely what most see anyway, is that despite the authors saying the virus doesn’t respect borders, this only happened in Morocco/Africa, because us Americans have special immune systems and blood vessels built to withstand repeat infections.

After seeking medical care for what I believed were long-Covid symptoms, I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. While we are saddened by this news, we will face this trial with faith in the grace of God that has sustained our lives, our marriage, and my career in public service for nearly fifteen years.

People get really worked up when there’s a suggestion that pro athletes absences or performance issues *might be due to COVID or LongCOVID, but when these athletes careers’ are ruined and COVID LongCOVID were key contributing factors, those same people have nothing to say.

1/ LeicestershireLive  Ryan Bertrand explains how his Leicester City spell went wrong  By Jordan Blackwell 12:28, 29 JUL 2025  UPDATED 12:45, 29 JUL 2025
Ryan Bertrand was a very good English Premier League player and English International. In 2021 he made a big move to Leicester and contracted COVID before the season started.

It kept him out for weeks despite the notion that athletes have superior immune systems.
He tried to return to training but suffered from persistent migraines which would stop training, which in turn caused him trouble regaining his fitness, paramount to a professional footballer. 6 weeks apparently and not feeling right, which led to a string of events…

New Nature study shows SARS2 significantly elevates the risk of neuropsychiatric conditions including anxiety, mood disorders, cognitive impairment and psychotic disorders for up to 6 months.

“Alarmingly, even individuals with mild or asymptomatic infections face elevated risk.” Neuropsychiatric Risks Linked to COVID-19 Revealed  BY BIOENGINEER - August 1, 2025
“Many risks peak within the first 30-90 days post-infection but persist markedly up to 6 months. This persistent risk underscores the necessity for continuous clinical vigilance and development of targeted surveillance strategies to identify and manage sufferers early.”
“The authors discussed implications for healthcare systems globally, highlighting the urgent need to equip neuropsychiatric services to handle surges in demand potentially triggered by the pandemic’s downstream effects.”

LongCOVID is disproportionately destabilizing a generation already grappling with high rent, gig-based work, and fragmented access to healthcare.

It’s not just the virus they’re fighting, but also misinformation, financial insecurity, housing instability and social invisibility. Invisible Crises:   Long COVID, Housing Instability & Health Misinformation Among Young Adults  By John Mills - July 31, 2025
“Picture a young adult in their late twenties, formerly healthy, working full-time, and renting a small apartment in a shared house. After a bout of COVID, their symptoms never fully go away. Fatigue, brain fog, and recurring inflammation make it difficult to work consistently.”
“They fall behind on rent, begin skipping doctor visits due to cost, and soon start doubting their illness as online forums flood them with conflicting advice. It’s not just the virus they’re fighting.”

“This scenario isn’t hypothetical. It reflects an emerging crisis.”
