CHI Health, Creighton set up phone line to study long COVID
Nebraskans who have experienced symptoms for at least a month after having #COVID are encouraged to call in to a new phone line that the two organizations have set up.
Those who think they may be affected by #longCOVID can call the helpline at (402) 818-2002.
"But for one age group in particular—people over 65—the crashing #vaccination rates should inspire dread. More than 1,500 deaths each week are still associated with #COVID, and almost all of them are senior citizens; current data hint that COVID has been killing seniors at seven times the rate of flu."
American adults! You all now have access to a FREE, 24/7 ON DEMAND TELEHEALTH system for #COVID19 and influenza so you can get prescribed #Paxlovid or anti-flu medications, any time, day or night, that you test positive.
Anyone in the US who is 18 or older can use the telehealth service to talk to a prescriber if they test positive for flu or COVID.
AND! As a special service for those who are poor, old, or a veteran, they will also ship you free COVID and flu tests if you want. Sign up in the same system.
A scientific study just published in a medical journal reports that those who took the bogus Covid "cure" touted by Donald Trump and Fox News, hydroxychloroquinine, had an 11% increase in mortality rates. The study tracks some 19,000 deaths in hospitalized patients to the use of the snake-oil horse dewormer medicine.

That is good right?
Trumpers freely choosing to do stupid self destructive things, mostly because they exist in a make believe world.
Supported by far right con media, nonsense like Fox and CTV and the NP.
These fools have the option to protect themselves. They choose not to.
Just a bunch of authoritarian stupids getting rid of themselves.
Which is good for the average person who just wants to live in freedom. #trumpsupporterarefool
This is probably the best piece I've ever read on how journalists have reported on long covid, and how their reports has affected the lives of people living with long covid.
Don't pass this piece up.
' We [journalists] are not neutral actors, reporting on the world at a remove; we also create that world through our choices, and we must do so with purpose, care and compassion. '
'I witnessed almost every publication that I once held in esteem become complicit in normalizing a level of death once billed as incalculable. It was galling, crushing work that wrecked my faith in journalism and its institutions.'
Is this why erratic and unpredictable #drivers seem so prevalent lately? Scary AF.
"We can expect millions of people worldwide potentially suffering from visuoconstructive impairment after [#COVID infection]. Visuospatial ability is key to #driving, planning, drawing, to locate oneself in a place."
