(Originally posted to my GoFundMe, and backdated to the date of that original post. This is basically copied verbatim (modulo formatting), including the fundraising stuff at the end; I *was* posting to GoFundMe after all. Feel free to ignore those bits if you want. Link to the fundraiser will be provided in the comments and upon request.)
In today's episode of "SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 related PSA / traditional weblogging and the usual begging post mashup" it's time to look around the Net again. While various organizations and firms keep working on potential treatments and vaccines, we're also learning more about the medium and long term effects of this disease. And the pandemic and its ripple effects will continue to take their toll on us all.
My Husband Died of COVID-19 as a Nursing Home Patient. Here’s My Advice to Families.
The coronavirus is leaving some people with permanent lung damage
Dr. Anthony Fauci says that post-covid syndrome “is highly suggestive of” myalgic encephalomyelitis
Outcomes of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients Recently Recovered From Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
Hadassah doctors crack the cause of fatal corona blood clots
Here's a video that just came out this week about the logistics of testing, and what innovations are being done at all stages of the process.
The Logistics of Covid-19 Testing
And I don't think I've emphasized this specific Thing We All Need To Do nearly enough:
Absence of Apparent Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from Two Stylists After Exposure at a Hair Salon with a Universal Face Covering Policy — Springfield, Missouri, May 2020
Face Masks Really Do Matter. The Scientific Evidence Is Growing.
WEAR THE DAMN MASKS, everyone. And I mean EVERYONE.
Having said and noted all that, it's time for the penguin on top of your television set to explode-- NO WAIT, wrong story! -- time for the usual begging stuff part of today's broadcast. Those of you who've been reading these non-photo posts in the past three or so months will know what's next: before and in addition to the usual plea for help for ourselves, I'm going to ask those of you who are able to SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES. It's becoming apparent that the spring lockdowns were, in general, too short, as even more places than before are now going back to more restrictive phases (and in a few cases, back to the MOST restrictive). Regardless of that, some places of business either never closed (having been deemed essential) or are now trying to stay open to some degree after having already reopened. So please do what you can to help keep your local economy a little bit more afloat. Locally owned businesses are, and will continue to be, struggling to surviva and get back on their feet, so please patronize them as much as you can. BUY LOCAL. Please however, do so in a safe manner. Keep on wearing masks and other protective equipment when going shopping in person, continue social distancing. Act intelligently, because I know you can.
( Rest of the begging stuff is behind the cut. )
