‘Although COVID-19 was originally considered a respiratory illness, it is now well established that SARS-CoV-2 infection can have far-reaching impacts on the nervous system. Common neurological symptoms in Long COVID [PASC] include new-onset cognitive difficulties, dysautonomia, fatigue, and peripheral neuropathy.’ from ‘Neuroimmune pathophysiology of long COVID’ by Moen et al / Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences (2025).

‘But even people who had not been hospitalized had increased risks of many conditions, ranging from an 8% increase in the rate of heart attacks to a 247% increase in the rate of heart inflammation.’ Nature (2 Aug 2022) ‘Either symptomatic or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with increased risk of late cardiovascular outcomes and has causal effect on all-cause mortality in a late post-COVID-19 period.’ The American Journal of Cardiology (15 Sep 2023)

❦ On that 700-day cough... It’s a new thing, but it’s only reserved for inside supermarkets and offices. And pharmacies and hospitals and care homes. Oh, and your living-room. But apart from that, it’s not exactly a deal-breaker. I mean, c’mon. They put up with way worse in the 1900s.

❦ If parents, and politicians and teachers, and healthcare workers and public health bodies wanted things to change, all they need do is read . It’s all there. But they don’t. They won’t. And they insist on their medical and scientific flat-earthing – hand-sanitiser for aerosol-transmitted disease – because they prefer the world to be flat. So let them walk off the edge of the world. [ Caveat: The earth is not flat, and doing nothing will not flatten the curve – but walk far enough, and you are likely to fall off a cliff.] © 2024 C19.Life

❦ SARS-CoV-2 – the virus that causes COVID-19 – is airborne . In May 2021, the WHO officially recognised that SARS-CoV-2 is airborne via microscopic aerosols – meaning that the virus is transmissible through the air at both long and short range . ✾

❦ Q . Why is it important for me to know if I have a COVID-19 infection? ❦ A . If you don’t recover well, it can help your doctor to know if you’ve had a COVID-19 infection – so that they can more effectively treat any of your on-going symptoms. It also helps you to be conscious of the fact that contact with other people might hurt, permanently damage, or kill them.

❦ Person puts hand in flame. Gets burnt. Knows fire burns flesh. Has a fear of getting burnt in the future, because fire and flesh create undesirable pain. Lives in a permanent state of fear of fire for rest of life? No. Becomes cautious of fire, and takes precautions to not be burnt again. If anybody accuses you of ‘living in fear’ for taking precautions to avoid catching SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) again and again, know that you are, in fact, ‘living with sensible caution’ – as you know that the headaches and heart attacks and strokes and plaque build-up in arteries and the killing of one’s own parents and the reduction of your children’s IQ and fertility, and your daily fatigue, and your memory disorders and immune dysregulation and your new-onset susceptibility to other opportunistic viral, bacterial and fungal infections, and your high blood pressure, and your aggressive, new-onset or recurrence of cancer and the rapid, aggressive, new-onset dementia – are all things you should rightly be afraid of. For yourself, and for other people. But SARS-2 is clever. You often only feel the burn weeks or months later, and you don’t make the connection between the time you stuck your hand in a fire and the now-septic wound that has worked its way into the gristle of your toes. SARS-2 isn’t stupid, you know, and it has had four years of mutating repeatedly inside several billion humans and animals to hone its game while we sit on the lawn and watch our house burn down. ❂ © 2023 C19.Life .
