    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    Whitney Dafoe has (through his sister?) published a very moving post on Facebook: OMF has shared his post both on Twitter and Facebook. I can't help wondering if OMF really stands behind the opinions expressed in Whitney's post, in particular this one: I have to admit it makes me feel...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    The narrative in Swedish media is a bit different... at least that's the impression I am getting. Although there are some articles reporting on, for example, the unknowns of antibodies, Chinese research suggesting that herd immunity might be very uncertain and far into the future, critical...

    COVID and its consequences on disabled/sick people's care

    Actually, as a person with ME, I do. I've been harmed way too many times, had my patient's rights violated way too many times. Many of my friends have been treated equally badly, or worse.

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    It's too early to draw conclusions. According to the public health authority, the "decline" the last few days is most likely a result of delayed reporting during the Easter holiday. For example, the government usually gets no numbers at all from nursing homes or other care homes during the...
