We need public health campaigns on how to prevent COVID infections (respirators & clean air!) as well as who can get Long COVID & how it presents.

Stigma, denial & misinformation are leading folks to think that Long COVID is rare. That they don’t know anyone impacted by the condition.

They’re wrong: disabledginger.com/p/i-dont-kn

Whenever RFK Jr and Dr Oz ramble on about how most American kids aren’t healthy enough to serve in the military… ask yourself why they never talk about Covid?

If they truly wanted to improve health, we would have clean air, paid time off, free respirators and masks in healthcare.

SpringerLinkLong-term clinical outcome and exercise capacity in SARS-CoV-2-positive elite athletes - German Journal of Exercise and Sport ResearchAims This study aimed to explore the epidemiological circumstances, long-term clinical outcomes, and perceived impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on elite athletes’ sports performance. A secondary objective was to determine the sports-specific (contact vs. noncontact) prevalence of SARS-CoV‑2 among 65 SARS-CoV-2-positive athletes from the Olympic Training Center Rhineland (OSP; n = 599). Methods In all, 65 SARS-CoV-2-positive athletes from the German Olympic Training Center (OSP; 66% males—age: 23 ± 4 years; 34% females—age: 23 ± 5 years) participated in the panel study. Data collection occurred between June 2020 and October 2021 at two test times (t0: after a negative polymerase chain reaction [PCR] test, t1: 16 weeks after t0) through questionnaires and clinical assessments. Results The SARS-CoV‑2 prevalence was nearly identical in noncontact and contact-sport athletes (10.8% vs. 11.3%); 37% experienced symptoms lasting > 4 weeks. Over 50% of athletes paused their training for 4–8 weeks. At t1, 40% still experienced reduced perceived performance capacity (PPC) compared to their pre-COVID-19 level, while 64% reported ongoing limitations in sports participation, with mental and physical fatigue as the most prominent limiting factor, followed by shortness of breath and joint and muscle pain. Conclusion The long-term management of SARS-CoV-2-positive elite athletes should involve a comprehensive, multidimensional psychophysiological approach to address persistent sport-restricting symptoms. This approach will assist in developing tailored training protocols that allow a gradual increase in intensity and volume.

"What we saw in people with #longCOVID is they were burning 20, 30 percent more energy than someone that we would expect for their height, weight, gender and age," he said. "So even though we were asking them to sit very still and not use any energy at all, their bodies were working really, really hard to maintain that."

Post #COVID19 among young adults– prevalence & associations with general health, stress, & lifestyle factors

BioMed CentralPost COVID-19 among young adults– prevalence and associations with general health, stress, and lifestyle factors - BMC Public HealthBackground The prevalence of post COVID-19 condition (PCC) after mild infection among young adults is largely unknown, as are its impact on health and lifestyle factors. Objective To assess the prevalence of PCC among young adults and its impact on general health, stress, and changes in lifestyle factors three years after the onset of the pandemic. Methods The study population (n = 2,098) included participants from the population-based cohort BAMSE (aged 27–30 years). PCC symptoms and changes in lifestyle factors during the pandemic were assessed in a questionnaire distributed in September–December 2023 and analyzed cross-sectionally. Stress, physical activity, and general health were also assessed pre-pandemic (2016–2019) and analyzed longitudinally. PCC was defined as ≥ 1 symptom lasting for ≥ 2 months after COVID-19. Results In total, 1,577 (75.5%) reported previous COVID-19. Among these, 166 (10.5%) reported previous and 62 (3.9%) ongoing PCC. The most common ongoing symptoms were altered smell/taste, psychological symptoms, and fatigue. Both pre- and post-pandemic general health differed significantly in relation to PCC in cross-sectional analyzes (all p < 0.05), with the lowest health reported by those with ongoing PCC. Participants with ongoing PCC also had a reduction in well-being in longitudinal analyses (p = 0.04). This group also reported more adverse changes in lifestyle factors and health during the pandemic such as reduced physical activity (p < 0.001) and worsened dietary habits (p = 0.03). However, there was no significant difference in the longitudinally measured perceived stress scale among individuals with PCC. Conclusions Almost 4% of young adults with previous self-reported COVID-19 had ongoing symptoms of PCC three years after the onset of the pandemic. This group reported poorer health and more adverse changes in lifestyle factors than participants without PCC. Targeted healthcare interventions for young adults with PCC are warranted.

Associations of epigenetic aging & #COVID19: A 3-year longitudinal study

SpringerLinkAssociations of epigenetic aging and COVID- 19: A 3-year longitudinal study - GeroScienceAging and COVID- 19 are known to influence DNA methylation, potentially affecting the rate of aging and the risk of disease. The physiological functions of 54 volunteers—including maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂ max), grip strength, and vertical jump—were assessed just before the COVID- 19 pandemic and again 3 years later. Of these volunteers, 27 had contracted COVID- 19. Eight epigenetic clocks were used to assess the rate of aging during the 3-year period: DNAmAge showed accelerated aging, and five clocks showed slowed aging (DNAmAgeSkinBlood, DNAmAgeHannum, DNAmFitAge, PhenoAge, and DNAmTL). When we considered only females, we observed a stronger effect in the increase of DNAmAge acceleration, while we observed slowed aging in the case of SkinBloodClock, and DNAmTL. The methylation of the promoter region of the H1 FNT genes, which encodes testis-specific histone H1 family member N (H1fnt) and plays a crucial role in spermatogenesis decreased the most significantly. In contrast, the promoter of CSTL1, which encodes Cystatin-like 1, showed the most significant increase. We found that having COVID- 19 during the 3-year study period significantly increased the progress of aging assessed by DNAmGrimAge, DNAmGrimAge2, and DNAmFitAge (p = 0.024, 0.047, 0.032, respectively, after we adjusted the analysis for baseline variables). The data suggest that COVID- 19 may have a mild long-term effect on epigenetic aging.

>>Remember COVID toes?... A study has found that people with pandemic chilblains have an unusually strong immune response to single-stranded RNA viruses like SARS-CoV-2, driven by overactive plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) responding to TLR7 signals. These individuals likely cleared the virus early with innate immunity, before developing antibodies, but the inflammation triggered chilblains in their toes.<<
