    'So much is still unclear about what exactly ... ‘mild illness’ might mean for the sick person – both at the moment of designation & in relation to the sick person’s unknown future' I wrote this early May, 7 wks in, worried mild was not mild

    Six weeks ago, I heard there were kids getting Covid and not getting better. Like the adults we've been hearing about, they were long-haulers. At the time, I couldn't find a single article about it. So I decided to do it myself

    And here is a v thoughtful piece by on in children — emphasizing how much we don’t know about the effects virus can have on children, & how many parents have been disbelieved when reporting their children’s long-term symptoms

    I can’t stop thinking about all those students and university workers either already on or about arrive on campus. It’s been a very long half-year since I — & hundreds of thousands of other long-haulers — fell sick back in March

    Great to see comment in (Yelin et al) on research required on . Would have been even better if authors had embedded patients – e.g. in the developing of research questions, in the call for multidisciplinary research teams

    And there are plenty who have stories to share about being racially profiled in hospitals & doctors’ offices while seeking treatment for . My only question is which story will history tell about this virus? A white or colorful one?

    More on impact that can have on heart. Barber argues here that over last few week 'evidence has strengthened that cardiac damage can happen even among people who have never displayed symptoms of coronavirus infection'

    I hesitate to ask this since so bleak...but if campuses are determined to become unregulated “hothouse laboratories” w captive populations, then when inevitable happens..is there any one working out if it is possible to conduct ethical research on in those infected? 😥

    Testing dormitory sewage for the coronavirus. Saliva tests instead of nasal swabs. Mobile apps for doing health checks and tracing virus exposure. Across the country, campuses have become testing grounds for new technology for fighting the pandemic.

    .: let’s work together to stop the narrative that fatality is the only thing that matters right now. We have *at least* 100,000 in the US alone who were previously in good health and are now experiencing months of severely debilitating symptoms.

    1/ The hardest sell in the package that UCU issued overnight is not the demand to move all (or almost all) teaching online. It is the demand that universities 'scrap plans to reopen campuses'.

    I’ve been sick with for 4 months. I’m improving overall, but my recovery isn’t linear. I have good days & bad days & it’s impossible to predict when either will come. I’m still getting medical checks - latest one is a heart scan to check for heart damage.

    Over 1000 students and 9 faculty (and ? other workers) have been infected at U Alabama in the 9 days since classes started. We don’t really know yet what physical/mental after-effects/damage any of them might incur even if none dies
