@edsuom@zhang_yueting She started out by saying that she had been "rather careful" before this infection, and later admits she most likely caught it at a birthday party. UNMASKED. INDOORS.
This is what happens when people think they can let their guard down around friends.
1/@edsuom@zhang_yueting I may be showing my age but there was a time when we were all warned that when we had sex with someone, we were also exposing ourselves to their sexual partners and whatever infections they had. For that reason condom use was encouraged.

@meganranney 1. Many post-Covid patients still feel exhausted after 60 days and haven't returned to their previous level of health. A small amount of exertion wipes them out for hours. This is known as Post-Exertional Malaise or PEM or crashing.
1/n@meganranney 2. An unknown percentage of these patients may never recover and will go on to develop Myalgic Encephalomyelitis aka Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. #MECFS 3. Support groups for thousands of these patients have already appeared on Facebook.
