“Long Covid patients risk serious injury if they carry out moderate to intense exercises like running and cycling for much more than a few minutes, a study suggests.”

Summary & presentation markers for what is known about the NEW, VERY CONCERNING #VARIANT B.1.1.529 per South African Ministry of Health live streamed briefing today.
Holiday travel could spread this variant exponentially across the world if countries don’t act fast.
There r 2 international airports in Gauteng, region of Africa hardest hit w/ B11529. Already found in 3 countries so far: Botswana, South Africa & Hong Kong (returning traveller).

Singapore is surging. We will have multiple “Singapores” here in the US. Their surge is higher than any they’ve had. 83% fully vax’d @ the time of this graph.

Does this look like u can’t surge if u have a significant amount of vax in your country or state? US is 57% fully vax’d. What say you? But is it impacting their healthcare services? YES. “Singapore ministers told a media briefing on Friday that the jump in COVID-19 cases in the island of 5.7 million people had put ‘tremendous’ pressure on its healthcare system.”
