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. “This shows how remarkably the virus adapts to escape immune defenses.”

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

South Carolina Republican Senator Roger Nutt announced his resignation after seeking medical care for LongCOVID and then receiving a diagnosis for Alzheimer’s Disease.

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/ 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.

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.” “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.”

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. “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.”

National Bureau of Economic Research revision shows 1.4M excess deaths in US adults 25 and older due to COVID between 2020-2023, increasing Social Security by $219 Billion. (Net positive of $156B)

“These findings provide critical insights for SSA projections & policy decisions.” “The pandemic resulted in approximately 1.4 million excess deaths among individuals aged 25 and older between 2020 and 2023. These premature deaths mostly reduced future retirement benefits, which increased the Social Security fund by $219 billion.”

A life and health actuary reviewed CDC numbers finding US mortality is 10.6% higher than in 2019.

Some may have a shorter life expectancy than they originally believed because of COVID, post-COVID health effects. It's not clear if US mortality might return to pre 2020 levels. This second part highlighted doesn’t really make a lot of sense. You are not being made stronger by whatever is causing the mortality. COVID and post-COVID, ie., LongCOVID, do not build you up. Cumulative infections do the very opposite.

One day we’ll get there.

There was a post early stating that curcumin is a treatment for LongCOVID, which was totally ridiculous and ignorant to the fact that Turmeric-curcumin is the most commonly found supplement behind the significant rise in liver toxicity cases (hepatotoxicity) being reported. Posts like that are reckless because people with LongCOVID, whether they admit to it or not, are desperate to try anything that might help.

Further, it can interact with medications and was singled out by my Dr. as one to avoid before starting Maraviroc.

Two new studies and the American Brain Foundation find that brain damage (brain fog) caused by SARS2 may be permanent and a link to Alzheimer’s by invading the central nervous system, damaging healthy brain cells via excess inflammation and increased amyloid plaque buildup. Article:

So anyway, good luck living with it and the August flu or whatever.

National Bureau of Economic Research finds approx 1.4M excess deaths among Americans 25 and older between 2020-2023 due to COVID, saving Social Security over $200 Billion.

‘Social Security financial health improved due to excess deaths, driven primarily by the premature death.’ The data also notes “as of 2023” when this was revised in March 2025.

Americans are literally dying for their government and putting money back in its pockets.

OSHA released a proposal to remove remaining temporary standards for occupational exposure to COVID.

“Specifically, the proposal would remove the recordkeeping and reporting requirements imposed on covered health care employers related to health care workers with COVID-19.” Good luck out there, it’s just a cold now.

I decided to see a cardiologist recently was because I’d been getting these really weird dizzy-headaches and knowing so many people with POTS, I figured that’s what was happening to me.

During my initial exam, he said the funniest thing. “POTS is such a bullshit diagnosis.” He said it with such exasperation and I actually laughed (iykyk) and he said “don’t get me wrong, I treat it all the time but it’s a bullshit name, it doesn’t mean anything. It’s not one thing and all my patients are different. We don’t know what causes it, we know …”

A team of actuaries report that mortality due to COVID in US adults ages 22-44 is getting worse, life expectancy may drop in 2025 and could improve by 2034.

Insurers used this data to write life policies and asked the Treasury Dept and IRS to use it for pension plans. (Rejected) IRS officials started mulling the impact of COVID on mortality tables for pension plans. For life insurance policies, higher mortality rates make reserves higher & may make taxes lower. For pension plans & annuities, higher mortality rates may make reserves lower & taxes higher.

One of the worst things that happened when I got infected in Jan 2021 was the muscle pain which was so severe that couldn’t walk for a few months.

This article says muscle pain is now the most common symptom, impacting 86% of all infected across all age groups & severity levels. They even mention legs as being one of the most common areas along with the neck, which is something I see a lot of other patients on here mentioning. Head and face too.

This is really the first time I’ve seen this much detail on “myalgia.”

“The assumption that children and teens recover completely from COVID has been shattered by mounting evidence that their developing respiratory systems are uniquely vulnerable to long-term damage.”

“What’s particularly alarming is that many had mild or asymptomatic infections.” “Adolescent lungs are still developing well into the teenage years, with critical growth phases occurring during the exact age range when many students experienced COVID infections.”

Most people treat their kids like luggage, so none of this is relevant.

It’s funny because we’re already living through a Pandemic that no one is talking about. Coincidentally, since 2020 Sepsis has killed 11M people globally each year, but nobody seems to know why.

“We are living through a sepsis pandemic.” “Since the Covid-19 pandemic was declared in 2020, the world recorded 7.1 million deaths linked to the disease. But during that same period, sepsis caused around 11 million deaths globally each year.”

Sorry professor, we don’t do pandemics around here.

Researchers have found patients with LongCOVID have unique changes to their brains which makes it harder to think and speak with fewer protective proteins in their brains and higher levels of damaging inflammation, both of which are linked to dementia.

Nothing new right? Sounds like a political identity or weird vague syndrome the same way dementia is just nothing new.

A 28 year old with a healthy lifestyle who didn’t drink or smoke, regularly exercised, suffered a ‘shocking’ heart attack with 80% arterial blockage found.

“Some medical experts have speculated that in ‘rare’ cases, such incidents could be linked to post COVID complications.” NOT rare.

Actor Jeff Bridges says he’s feeling good after dealing with Cancer but is struggling with LongCOVID, which came from exposure at the facility where he was receiving chemotherapy.

“My dance with Covid makes my cancer look like a piece of cake. Covid kicked my ass pretty good.” Where are these losers who don’t understand why the rest of us expect healthcare workers and LongCOVID researchers to a wear masks?

Oh right, they only care about themselves.

‘More Americans in their 20s, 30s, and 40s are developing serious conditions such as diabetes, hypertension & heart disease—conditions once associated with aging. Insurers are taking note.’

60% of U.S. adults now live with a chronic condition and 40% have more than one. They said it. They also used skulls. 🤌🏼🔥

“Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association adds that people who had COVID-19 may face heightened long-term risks for heart and lung diseases.”
