My in-person kid is home today with painful GI issues. It has been a week or two since he was last home sick. He spent Spring Break in bed with Fluvid. Since he got Covid in September, he gets 104+ degree fevers, faucet nose, & headache for 2-3 days at least once every 2-3 weeks.…
I don't care what your children's school says to you: please do not send sick kids into school. Sooner or later, they will give #COVID19 to their classroom assistants, teachers or classmates. This is Mrs P's fourth infection, most likely from P1 (although it's not certain).
@LauraMiers @BirdieBittern @Guiness_Pig Long Covid does not have one specific set of symptoms. It can affect any organ in your child’s body. There are now hundreds of studies about Covid’s serious long-term effects on the lungs, heart, brain, kidneys, immune system… the list goes on & on. publications.aap.org/pediatrics/art…

Welcome to America, where life is sacred until you’re born. Newborn twins fight rare disease, family says it’ll cost $4.2 million to save their lives. Insurance stopped coverage on their condition day after they were born. Their mom works for the insurer. wbtv.com/2024/04/30/new…
@Guiness_Pig Dystopian hellscape. I’m reminded of this.

And there's this, "Compared to other pathogenic agents, prions are incredibly resistant to most routine methods of decontamination and sterilization. From the CID Journal, no single method of decontamination or sterilization has been shown to be 100% effective against prions."

Will the CDC please take a closer look at these cases too? Some of these individuals also consumed venison. Deadly Clusters: Doctors urge closer look at rare, always fatal brain disease woodtv.com/news/michigan/…
The two men were both from Texas, and actually knew each other! They were both deer hunters who routinely ate venison from the deer they had harvested. The CDC believes there is no connection, it is just a coincidence.

@sentientsparkle @BirdieBittern Thank you, that is very kind! I feel it is so important to keep a record, and I’m thankful I have, because even I am forgetting about a lot of this stuff as time drags on.
@BirdieBittern Thanks, after Covid disabled me in early 2020, life came to a grinding halt. While I mostly feel powerless and have accepted what’s coming, I feel like having information & foresight is something I CAN control!
@BirdieBittern @LauraMiers Thank you Laura sharing your hard work and knowledge is so appreciated and makes a difference to the lives of many people.

@BirdieBittern Instead of paying for and providing masks. Makes sense.
@BirdieBittern This thread is now one year old. I made my first Bus Driver Massacre thread in 2021.
In 2020 & 2021 we heard a lot about how Covid was disabling & killing bus drivers en masse. Driver shortages are widespread. In 2022, media quit covering it. In 2023, heroic, feel-good framing hides the horror of a 40 year old bus driver passing out. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/7…
Nothing surprising here.
