Bloomberg: 'What We Forget About Covid Will Shape the Next Pandemic'
'As many as 400 million people are estimated to be living with long Covid...long Covid remains variably defined, inconsistently treated and unevenly supported.'

Not enough people are talking about this sudden increase in disability.

- Individuals with COVID-19 infection may need more frequent and more prolonged monitoring of their kidney function to enable earlier detection and possible preventative interventions

Norsk Covid-forening tar dissens til Helsedirektoratets høringsutkast om retningslinjer for langvarig utmattelse og ME/CFS. Les den gode og grundige begrunnelsen her:
covidforeningen.no/Nyheter/ID/7...
Just over a year ago, I left my 25 year NHS career to dedicate my life to a group of patients who remain largely unseen and unheard by the NHS - people with severe #LongCOVID and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (#ME). 🧵

Kielland/Grønningsæter:
- Basert på vår forskning, forblir vårt viktigste innspill til retningslinjene å skille behandlingsanbefalingene til pasienter med ME/CFS og gruppen som sliter med annen langvarig utmattelse.

“Even without hospitalization, many of these infections have long-term consequences, from organ damage and immune issues to increased risks of cancer and dementia. It’s unconscionable that we aren’t doing everything we can to reduce these risks"

- Covid isn't over. We'd love it to be, and the messaging might sound like it is, but it's not gone and it's still causing long Covid

Good to see some information in Swedish media about POTS caused by Covid-19 infections.
But unfortunately presented as something someone is still struggling with since the pandemic.
"During Covid" is NOW and the virus continues to cause damage as POTS.

- ..driven primarily by increasing utilization rather than care intensity, suggesting an evolving chronic disease burden with substantial and growing economic implications.

- Contrary to assumptions of post-acute recovery, Long COVID is associated with progressively widening healthcare costs over five years,

So someone with measles can spread it before they have symptoms, it can float in the air for hours and years later, they can develop new health complications?
Researchers found that, on average, the risk of Long Covid was higher after a 2nd infection compared to a 1st infection.
Why this matters:
• It strengthens the evidence that #LongCovid in young people can affect more than one system in the body.

Og når medisinsk forskning viser at risiko for helseskade øker med antall Covid-infeksjoner må dette på dagsorden jo før jo heller. Vi kan forebygge mye sykdom (og fravær) ved å ta kunnskap som foreligger i bruk.
De skandaløst bakpå retningslinjene for "langvarig utmattelse" inkl. ME som nå ligger ute på høring er et av teamene som skal diskuteres i kveldens #Dax18
Konklusjonen må bli å ta kunnskapsutviklingen på ME i bruk i norsk helsevesen. Vi kan ikke vente lengre.
- ..out of 100 patients in hospital with COVID, 45 would have been admitted to hospital without COVID and been infected during their stay.

If that was true, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be hearing about it from some random mustachioed man on the internet..
- Han har forsøkt flere behandlinger, og blitt avvist fra andre fordi han er for syk til å gjennomføre dem. Nav krever nå behandling som kan gjøre ham sykere, og behandling som ikke er tilgjengelig.

Stine Aasheim fra ME-foreldrene:
- Det finnes verken kurativ behandling eller behandling som bedrer inntektsevnen til personer med Kolbjørns diagnose og sykdomsgrad.

It is so great to see such descriptions of living with an illness. Knowledge from medical research can only go so far, we need the arts too!
Picture from the graphic series with three examples of difficult encounters with health care services.
This graphic series on young people and #LongCovid looks really good.

- These findings add to previous evidence linking paediatric long COVID to multisystem effects and highlight the need to promote vaccination in younger populations and support ongoing research to better understand PASC, identify high-risk subgroups, and improve prevention and care strategies.

- Children and adolescents face a significantly higher risk of various PASC outcomes after reinfection with SARS-CoV-2.

Dear Young People.
This post is written for you…
Our generation of doctors decided to let you all get infected with a novel virus without even protection from vaccines in many cases, and we already knew that some of you would be killed or disabled for life when we made that decision.
Report underscores death toll of health care-related infections
Infections acquired in health care settings kill three times more people than car accidents each year.

- Given that 50% of HAIs are considered preventable, it is reasonable to expect that, with full implementation and compliance with infection prevention and control measures, up to half of HAI-related deaths could be avoided
