Yippee-ki-yay, Mr. Falcon! ;)

It's from 'God's hooks', referring to the nails driven through Jesus. Pleasanter than the original, I suppose. Compare with Zounds (God's wounds) or sblood (God's blood). We are a macabre species, aren't we?

I can see it both ways. My first reading was as yours. But then I rewatched to see how clearly he distinguishes long COVID from 'CFS' at the beginning. He does seem to suggest the two are different, then goes on to describe how long COVID is different generally, using the terminology and...

I'd think if they could pitch it as COVID research, they'd have loads of clinics at least offering to help, who could then recruit patients locally? Of course, they'd have to see if the signal works for long COVID too.

Ah yes! I remember. Nothing like reinventing the wheel. But if it means we leave no stone unturned, I can live with that. It's very possible we've overlooked something over the decades.

Red blood cell deformability was an old lead of Simpson's, I think? That was where the recommendation to take fish oil and evening primrose oil came from back in the 90s. I wonder if COVID research will end up repeating or reviewing a lot of the same ideas looked at for ME?

Sorry. It's the one TG tweeted about experiences of the long COVID recovery website.

By the way, it seems the long COVID study can be undertaken by those not on Twitter. The second researcher tweeted her email address for anyone wanting to get involved who couldn't get on Twitter: Michelle.vanVelthoven@phc.ox.ac.uk

Oh, I see! Maybe I'm on it too? My mum used to be on neo-Nazi group Kombat 18's 'red list' of 'dangerous socialists' or somesuch, so I'm not too worried about any hit list held by anyone else.

Nancy Klimas has suggested GCR resistance too.

Block chain blocks all the followers of someone or something you don't like. E.g., you can block everyone who follows Trump or everyone who follows the BBC.

This is heartbreaking.

All the time!

I'm blocked too. I've never even spoken to her. She must've blocked all the people who are friends with someone (or several someones) who are high profile in the ME world. Maybe all the followers of the various charities, for instance.

Could he have meant those symptoms associated with 'sickness behaviour', or rather, 'sickness response'?

Very interesting.

D'oh! I see! Still very useful. And a good use of time for those of us (most of us?) with lots of it.

Who can become advocates? Is it for clinicians only?

Thanks for the clarification.

Thank you! The end is in sight.
