🧪 Here’s what’s happening this week in #LongCOVIDbit.ly/3BCSbfkthesicktimes.org/newsletter/

THE SICK TIMES: A study of over 700 people with Long COVID found a significant disruption in blood supply to peripheral tissues. 

The disruption is caused by microvascular loss and hemodynamic decrease and can lead to hypoxia among other outcomes, the study stated. The author proposed that this disruption was the principal cause of Long COVID.
THE SICK TIMES: Co-investigators Michael Peluso and Wes Ely of the clinical trial on baricitinib, an immune-modulating drug, wrote in a new op-ed in Nature Index that Long COVID may help us solve neurocognitive disorders like Alzheimer's. 

“Insights from a new critical mass of patients are proving invaluable,” they wrote.
THE SICK TIMES: CURE-ID, the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) survey to identify Long COVID treatments, has reached 500 responses and will now start analyzing results to share with the public. 

They are still looking for responses — you can fill out the survey by following the link in our bio to The Sick Times “Research updates, October 8.”

Important new today in one of Pennsylvania's biggest counties: Local officials rolled out PA's first 'mobile election van.' It'll go around to help people register to vote, & correct ballot errors. That last one is especially important, we explained why when we previewed the proposal

This swing state rejects thousands of mail ballots a year over minor errors. Montgomery County is creating a mobile unit for voters to cure their ballot where they live.

this is the clearest evidence possible that there is no way for harris to satisfy either the call for more media hits or the call for more details. the political press has its narrative and it is not going to budge for it, even if it has to make up a reason to dismiss actual engagement with media

Well, we all remember how well Trump handled hurricane responses and crises in the Middle East. Too bad Harris isn't as sure a hand here.
