Those are the words of Natalie, a Covid survivor who went hiking on her wedding day. Now she spends her life in a darkened bedroom. Meanwhile, a world-class trail runner named Emilia kills herself after a Covid infection leaves her with an unstable heart. Around the world, smart talented young men & women are losing their careers after #Covid ravages their organs, their brains, their #immune systems. Some of them will recover. Some might benefit from treatment. Many of them will never be the same.
These were musicians, writers, scientists, athletes.
They were the future.
So, we have a virus that's incredibly contagious. It kills some people immediately. For everyone else, it damages your brain. It damages your heart and blood vessels. It damages your immune system, making you vulnerable to other diseases. It shortens your telomeres. It ages you." https://www.okdoomer.io/its-that-bad/
2/ "Every infection makes things worse. If we let #Covid continue to spread like this, it will eventually turn every single healthy person into a disabled one. We're watching it happen. It doesn't even have to reach that point to upend our daily lives. There's already an intense labor shortage, so bad that states are rolling back child labor laws & putting 14-year-olds to work. We're seeing Adderall shortages & surges in nootropics (brain drugs) as people try to self-medicate their undiagnosed neurological disorders. Test scores are down. Traffic accidents are up. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, worker productivity is "declining at the fastest rate in 75 years." Meanwhile, diseases from #pneumonia to #tuberculosis are filling up ERs & emptying pharmacies. Everywhere you look, you see the impact of Covid." https://www.okdoomer.io/its-that-bad/
wtf 😷🐮 — “Health officials have begun contact tracing after a person at the University of California Davis campus was diagnosed with a contagious form of #tuberculosis ” from @DrIanWeissman
"We're starting to see forms of tuberculosis that resist antibiotics. Those have been rising since the 1980s, but now they're becoming more common. If you catch one of those, your odds of dying go up to about 30 percent compared to TB's normal 90 percent survival rate (with treatment). Researchers at Washington University found that drug-resistant tuberculosis disarms your #ImmuneSystem. You don't just get over #tuberculosis. It takes months to fight off the infection and recover. Even if you survive, there's often lasting damage.
You might already have #TB and just don't know it. Health agencies estimate that up to 13 million people in the U.S. alone have latent (hidden) tuberculosis infections. They have the bacteria in them, but they don't feel sick. A latent infection can always become active. "For persons whose immune systems are weak, especially those with HIV infection, the risk of developing TB is considerably higher than for persons with normal immune systems."" #covid https://www.okdoomer.io/covid-trashed-our-immunity/
Or have to take antibiotics daily for 6-12 months from catching #tuberculosis which is also a #BSL3 virus just like #sarscov2 mind you
The brain damage scares me the most though
There’s enough evidence & studies out there that point to brain damage not as a potential but a reality, especially with Omicron. And this belief that it’s gotten milder is absurd.
Reading about how people exactly die from dementia & Alzheimer’s really should terrify everyone. Heart attack would be welcome in comparison. Also 46 year olds don’t drop dead from heart attacks, but you do you🤷🏻♀️
A member of the #UVic campus community has been diagnosed with active #tuberculosis
UVic said in a #NewsRelease Nov. 8, that the risk of transmission is low and they are working closely with #IslandHealth on protocols to identify, screen and treat those who may have been exposed.
This building was built from 1901 to 1904 by the "Allgemeine Knappschaftsverein" Bochum as a hospital for the treatment of lung diseases and especially tuberculosis.
Until 1986, lung diseases of miners from Bochum and the Ruhr area were treated here.
It is estimated that about 50,000 miners were treated here in 82 years.
Today the building is abandoned.
Situated in the middle of the forest, it is so quiet today that you can sense the ghosts of the people who were treated here for 82 years - a ghostly and almost mystical atmosphere.

"At telephone follow up on she reported that her symptoms lasted 11 days. Seven weeks later she presented again with a two-day history of right-side pleuritic chest pain, cough, subjective fever and anorexia.
[...] This case appears to confirm the concerns that the CD4+ T-cell depletion associated with COVID-19 may promote the development of active tuberculosis from latent infection much like HIV does."
Mongolia continues to face the spread of TB, particularly in the low-income population. Tuberculosis (TB), a long-standing scourge that has afflicted humanity for millennia, remains a formidable global health challenge. Despite Mongolia’s pledge to combat tuberculosis at the 2018 United Nations High-Level Meeting on the issue,...
Everyone knows that #tuberculosis is a treatable disease nowadays. I did not know that the treatment typically takes six months of continuous medication.
By the early 1990s, New York City was the epicenter of a nationwide tuberculosis epidemic. The city spent $1 billion to expand its TB control program, staffing the bureau with over 600 people to treat well over 3,000 cases a year.”
Last year there were 536 cases..
Now technically TB despite being #airborne should be kind of difficult to catch. My friend & his business partner got it from working in the same small office w/a🇬🇧intern who he also smoked pot with. However if your immune system is decimated by say having low #tcells you’re far more susceptible
Those #antibiotics were surreal looking; giant huge pink pills➕➕& you had to take them for a long time
Tuberculosis is a bigger threat than COVID-19, but it gets less attention. The bacterial infection kills 1.4 million people every year, more than any other infectious disease. COVID-19 has disrupted the efforts to diagnose and treat TB, putting millions of lives at risk. #Tuberculosis#Pandemic#Healthhttps://time.com/6317647/tuberculosis-pandemic-threat/
John Green with some amazing tuberculosis news that will save many lives, and context on why and how a lot of this progress is delayed, on purpose, by big pharma.
