Brief clip: Whoopi Goldberg raises concerns about #LongCovid on The View. She says one of her employees’ mothers has the condition and can no longer go out to do her job, so now works from home. She also raises concerns about the CDC.
Clip 2 from Austrian TV report about Samuel ME/CFS was largely ignored in Austria until Covid. The hallmark symptom is that exertion can make the illness worse. Many doctors are completely unaware, even though patients have been saying this for decades. #MECFS #LongCovid
Patients with #MECFS in Living Hell (1993) describe their interactions with doctors. “Drug addict” “Alcoholic” “School phobia” “210 doctors told me I was crazy” Patients still report similar experiences today.
Clip #MECFS 1993: Many believed it was psychological or simply depression, as many still do today. A patient also describes her frustration at appearing well but “paying for it for weeks” afterwards. An early description of post-exertional malaise.
Clip: Dr @binitakane.bsky.social explains how ME is an energy-limiting illness. The hallmark symptom, Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM), means even normal activities can trigger a worsening of symptoms. Some of her patients have to choose between a shower or preparing a meal that day.
In response to a question from @ZackPolanski.bsky.social on #LongCovid @DrAmirKhanGP.bsky.social says “I feel really helpless when I see them.” People who were healthy just a few years ago, a lot of them have lost their independence & ability to earn and there’s nothing in place to look after them.
The CDC made a public awareness ad about #MECFS in 2007. I’m not aware of a similar public health campaign since, despite increasing numbers linked to long Covid and the lack of awareness that exercise can make people worse.
Imagine you couldn’t watch television because the sound and colours were too exhausting or needed help just to eat, wash or go to the toilet. This can be a reality for people with a severe form of #LongCovid and #MECFS. Clip from German TV.
Powerful testimony on #MECFS by Emma Shorter in the Scottish Parliament from 2018 “It turns fit and active people into ghosts… I know teachers who can’t teach, children who can’t play, and parents who can no longer hold their children.”
12-yr-old Aveline loved trapeze and sports. Long Covid changed everything. “Within a day my entire life was flipped around… it’s been a constant battle against my own body.” “It’s really isolating. All my friends go to school together and I would give anything to be there.”

Are too many people going to university? The Scotsman's Education Correspondent, Catriona Stewart, reacts to Malcolm Offord's comments on university attendance in Scotland. She asks if it is, in fact, the right destination for everyone.
Of course, the crowd getting super busy when #HenryFong hits the decks. This dude works so damn hard!
This looks odd and a bit conspiratorial, but the metal detectors keep going off. So there appears to be something to it.

During the Civil Rights Movement, even on the bleakest days people rose up from all backgrounds. They overcame intimidation, pain and even the Supreme Court. The people persevered and that's what we must do now.
We learned that Premier Ford has ordered civil servants to halt all existing and new Freedom of Information requests across all government ministries. Transparency and accountability are vital aspects of democracy, and if the Premier can’t accept this, then he should go back to his sticker company.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 In the Donetsk and Luhansk regions—on the roads connecting the occupied cities of Debaltseve and Alchevsk—50 to 130 km deep from the front line, operators of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ K-2 Brigade are striking and destroying Russian military transport and using medium-range kamikaze drones.
