Fantastic news! Long Covid research grants restored due to the efforts of advocates all over the country.

Never let anyone silence you or convince you that your voice doesn’t matter.

We all have power, and even those of us who are disabled can make a difference in our own way.

Speak up, demand accountability and work together. Change is possible!

The Sick Times - Chronicling the Long Covid crisis · UPDATE: RECOVER Long COVID pathobiology grants restored - The Sick TimesLong COVID research grants from the National Institutes of Health’s RECOVER program will be restored following news stories about their abrupt cancellations and advocacy to restore the funding, according to patient representatives in the initiative.

Does anyone have a more up-to-date review of molecular / PCR-style COVID tests? My last research was based on this Lifehacker article: lifehacker.com/where-to-find-a

The next-best 3EO COVID-19 Test doesn't seem to exist anymore, their website is down: 3eohealth.com/products/covid-1

The last remaining option seems to be the Metrix covid test, which costs $25/test as opposed to Pluslife's $10/test, and is a bit less accurate. This is not acceptable.

Lifehacker · The Four Rapid COVID 'PCR' Style Tests You Can Take at Home (and Why You Should)There’s a big difference between the standard at-home antigen test and a molecular (PCR or NAAT) test. Molecular tests are the ones you want when accurate testing is important. Here are four tests you can buy for at-home use.

Seems like all it took was 10 unmasked indoor minutes (explaining to a so-called activist who unexpectedly dropped something off that #CovidIsNotOver and that I avoid seeing humans indoors in the winter) to catch something… It would be a good time to record a Tom Waits cover 😭

Long Covid will cost the economy trillions of dollars. The economic devastation of a mass disabling event can not be overstated.

Yet more funding has been cut, including to a project that was nearing completion.

The reason? Its a “waste of time”

The only reason to believe this is because you don’t care about Covid, you certainly don’t care about Long Covid and you’re preparing to leave the chronically ill behind.

“some of the human proteins the researchers identified as likely targets of COVID-induced #autoimmunity are only found in people with specific genetics”

News Release 26-Mar-2025 Research finds potential “molecular mimics” behind COVID-induced autoimmune disease Peer-Reviewed Publication University of Utah Health COVID infection has been linked to higher risk of autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. But why the virus might cause the body’s immune system to go haywire remains unknown, making it difficult to develop therapies to avoid autoimmunity. One hypothesis is that viral “molecular mimics” that resemble the body’s own proteins trigger an immune response against the virus—and healthy tissues get caught in the crossfire.
