We see this in patients with an array of unrelated pathogens: 90 percent of those with Ebola; 11 percent of those with Ross River virus, Q fever or Epstein-Barr virus; and 40 percent of those with severe acute respiratory syndrome (which, like covid-19, is caused by a coronavirus). Why, then, would covid-19 not be the same?

Doctor: ‘Long-haul’ covid-19 complications are real. I faced similar problems after surviving Ebola.

This is my first byline in two years. I'm so thrilled to finally be well enough to do some writing again. @brianvastag, @jenbrea and I offer advice to covid long-haulers (and their drs and researchers) based on our experience with ME: https://t.co/xQe2bynLyE

The terrible uncertainty of symptoms that persist for months and months.

By Lois Parshley Oct 20 @ Vox.com

[....] With 8 million cases of Covid-19 now confirmed in the US, stories like Montano’s are becoming increasingly common. But you might not know it from listening to President Trump. In his first extended statement in October since his own diagnosis, he falsely implied that everyone infected with the coronavirus can expect a rapid and full recovery. “Now what happens is you get better,” he said. “That’s what happens, you get better.”

The smoking thing again-found retweeted today by epidemiologist Prof. Balloux Dir. of U College London Genetics Institute (even tho his home page says he's taking a break)
