| Brainstorm | New from Eric Topol on Substack: Pandemic daily update, 3 November 2022: Just a reminder that I’m doing these daily updates while Twitter is in flux, with millions exiting. Yet there’s still a pandemic out there to contend with and trying to share what I learn and know each day. Thanks for reading Ground [... want %more?] → https://erictopol.substack.com/p/pandemic-daily-update-3-november | 00:26 |
| Asako | there ya go LjL | 01:10 |
| xx | Twitter is in flux? | 01:31 |
| xx | what does that mean? | 01:31 |
| LjL | xx, that scientific twitterers aren't generally happy with Musk's acquisition | 01:35 |
| LjL | Asako, where do i go? | 01:37 |
| Asako | <LjL> "twitter's instability"? | 01:44 |
| Asako | <LjL> is Musk shaking it? | 01:44 |
| LjL | i wonder... regardless of their probably quite real suffering... are people like this for real? https://twitter.com/GayKiwiDan/status/1587343786635448320 | 01:51 |
| LjL | it's a 100(+?) list of "common symptoms of basically everything" | 01:51 |
| Brainstorm | Updates for Australia: +13786 cases, +27 deaths since 23 hours ago — South Africa: +469 cases since a day ago — Slovakia: +439 cases since 23 hours ago — Sri Lanka: +177 cases, +1 deaths since a day ago | 01:59 |
| Asako | yeah, chronic fatigue syndome used to be assumed psychosomatic | 02:01 |
| Asako | or fibromyalgia | 02:04 |
| LjL | well, i'm not saying it is, i don't *think* it is, but the fact remains that a "shopping list" of symptoms isn't very useful... | 02:09 |
| xx | LjL: it can be real | 02:20 |
| xx | not sure if after covid, but I've met people with 30+ symptoms after cancer or cancer treatment | 02:20 |
| xx | or maybe symptoms is the wrong word | 02:20 |
| xx | ailments I guess | 02:21 |
| LjL | xx, i don't doubt that... i just wonder what the usefulness is to determine whether "you may have long covid", as the tweet says, as just about anyone (especially anyone with health concerns, such as having had covid) will end up ticking 10+ boxes | 02:22 |
| LjL | i mean, even the WebMD symptoms checker is notoriously useless despite not just being a random person's list of symptoms | 02:23 |
| xx | none of it is useful indeed, unless it could force the people in power to invest in research on long-covid | 02:23 |
| xx | i.e. to demonstrate that long-covid is real | 02:23 |
| xx | do people doubt that it is? | 02:23 |
| LjL | i bet some do | 02:24 |
| LjL | or that it's psychosomatic, etc | 02:24 |
| LjL | but i wouldn't say "doubting long covid" is mainstream just yet | 02:24 |
| LjL | %tell ublx https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1588181040043937793 | 02:50 |
