Well, it's not co-morbidies that are causing #LongCOVID among military personnel.
It's viral persistence in the bone marrow and magakarocites that leads to all of the sequelae.

Prevalence and Symptoms of Post-COVID-19 Syndrome in Active-Duty Military Personnel ๐จThe ALARMING USA army news today: Over 42% of active-duty military personnel who contracted COVID-19 developed long-lasting post-COVID syndromeโdominated by pulmonary, neurological, and fatigue issuesโthreatening their fitness, readiness, and the militaryโs ability to respond to threats. โก๏ธA large retrospective study analysed electronic health records from the U.S. Military Health System (2019โ2024), identifying post-COVID-19 syndrome in 42.8% of 650,173 COVID-19 cases among active-duty personnel. The cohort was predominantly male (74.1%), young (mean age 31.3 years), and enlisted (83.3%). โก๏ธFindings:

Graphic for March 8th International Womenโs Day. The Long Covid SOS logo appears at the top in awareness day colours. Beneath it, โMarch 8th International Womenโs Dayโ in teal and underneath in a lighter teal shade โWomen living with Long Covid and other invisible illnesses deserve to be heard, believed and supportedโ โNo more gaslightingโ in orange italics. At the bottom the image shows layered silhouettes of diverse women in profile, in different colours and hairstyles to represent solidarity and shared experience. A faint lifering motif from the Long Covid SOS logo forms the background. And at the bottom left text reads โ#IWD2026โ
Women are too often dismissed when it comes to their health told itโs โanxietyโ, โyour ageโ or โall tests are normalโ
#LongCovid is following a pattern many women already know. Women living with Long Covid deserve to be heard, believed and supported.

It will be telling how she conducts herself during this COVID wave in Toronto.
The Liberals couldn't have picked a worse time for their by-elections and convention.

Interested in low-dose Rapamycin for Long Covid? The Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illness is actively recruiting for a RCT of the mTOR inhibitor Sirolimus (Rapamycin). The trial aims to evaluate if changes to the immune response as a result of the drug improve Long Covid symptoms.
Iโm in a different rapamycin trial and I do seem to have improved while on the med, for what that n of 1 is worth.

A 3D medical animation shows the secretion of cytokines, small pink particles floating near purple and blue cells. The text reads, โThe Sick Times. Long COVID research updates. Researchers identified high levels of cytokine interferon gamma (IFN-ฮณ) as a potential biomarker for Long COVID. Two new studies compare SARS-CoV-2โs long-term risks to those of the flu. A small phase 1 clinical trial will test the safety of the cancer monoclonal antibody Pembrolizumab (Keytruda).โ
Researchers identified high levels of cytokine interferon gamma (IFN-ฮณ) as a potential biomarker for Long COVID. The small study, published in Science Advances, found that symptoms improved when production of IFN-ฮณ (a molecule that plays an important role in immune response) decreased. The researchers followed the people with Long COVID for 31 months, and tested their blood with a highly sensitive procedure. โItโs unlikely that all the different Long COVID symptoms are caused by the same thing,โ one of the authors said in a press release, stating the need for treatments for different presentations of the disease.
Two new studies compare SARS-CoV-2โs long-term risks to those of the flu. A recent study in Frontiers in Immunology found that both COVID-19 and flu can impact lungs post-infection, but that only COVID-19 caused a significant impact on the brain. The study used a mouse model to compare the long-term effects of flu and COVID-19, finding that COVID-19 led to brain inflammation, sensory processing issues, and other types of brain injury. Still, the study did not mention myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) or dysautonomia, which can both impact the brain and be triggered by influenza. A separate study in Communications Medicine also found that there is a higher risk of kidney disease after SARS-CoV-2 infection than after influenza.
A small phase 1 clinical trial will test the safety of the cancer monoclonal antibody Pembrolizumab (Keytruda). Sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the trial will enroll 15 participants with neurological symptoms of Long COVID in Bethesda, Maryland. Ketytruda is an infusion drug that is used to treat various cancers, including advanced melanoma and Hodgkin lymphoma. The trial adds to other cancer drugs like Anktiva and rapamycin being tested for Long COVID. The study is not yet recruiting. Study contact: Ladifatou N. Fouanta, ladifatou.fouanta@nih.gov.

Everyone should get their lymphocytes and T-cells tested.
Yes, I know that it wasn't easy for me to get an allergist to get this requisition. It's been impossible to get to see an immunologist. Insist that your PCP make this lab requisition.
And get a full cardiac ultrasound.

@mark-ungrin.bsky.social what do you think about Danielle Martin's positions on stopping COVID and treating Long COVID?
She's running as the Liberal party candidate for University-Rosedale.
It seems that she's been playing both sides since 2020.
Wastewater virus signals for Toronto, for the 52 week period ending Friday March 6 2026 showing a drastic spike in COVID-19. RSV, Flu A and Flu B are also shown. The second highest spike was Flu A which peaked mid-December and was present for about 8 weeks, while COVID-19 has been at elevated and mostly growing levels since last spring.
"There's something going around"
Yeah. It's COVID.

Torontonians - if you donโt wear a mask any more and you havenโt had Covid in a while, now is a great time to get it! Itโs nearly off the charts!

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers โ and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
A billion dollars a day on medical research would solve most illnesses within a couple of years.
Oil prices doubling within a couple weeks, thanks to Epstein class Graham.
๐
$200 a barrel???
๐ฒ
Especially immunocompromised people. Pretty much everyone is immunocompromised after a few COVID infections, more or less, especially those over 45.
Antivaxxers put everyone at risk
Alberta also doesn't own the railroad lands and Rupert's Land.
In February, Lindsay Graham claimed to visit Israel every two weeks.
Big question: Why?
Espionage?
Boy toy?
Some say that the price of oil will jump to $150/barrel within weeks.
Will this mean $8 to $10 per gallon of gas?
Can you test an immunocompromised model for slim Long COVID patients with almost depleted NK cells and on low-dose sirolimus? 1 to 6 mg weekly
