Delighted to share our latest work on #longCOVID - sex differences in symptoms and immune signatures. Led by @SilvaJ_C @taka_takehiro @wood_jamie_1 et al. with @LeyingGuan & @PutrinoLab. We find a striking inverse correlation btw testosterone levels and symptom burden👇🏼 (1/)…
1/n Thought I would update where we’re at in the U.S. in terms of Covid this March 3, 2024 and make some )(hopefully constructive) comments or offer my opinion on the CDC’s revised recommendations/guidance on COVID isolation
Thanks to the Actuaries Institute for this analysis. The good news is the excess mortality is much less in 2023 than 2022, about half. The bad news is it is still a v large death toll (8-10,000) that if not compared to 2022 would shock more. COVID drives this. We must do better.

Statement on today’s catastrophe in Gaza.
Pretty disturbing. We must do better at protecting the most vulnerable in our community. Everyone wants to do this but current approaches are clearly not sufficient. For one thing, #CleanIndoorAir is a must. Should be the same in aged care, hospitals & schools as in Parliament.

COVID + THE BRAIN 🧠 There’s been a flurry of new studies published in recent weeks about Covid’s detrimental impact on the brain. This is the aspect of Covid which concerns me most, but which many people seem to be blissfully unaware of. So let’s dig into what we know… 🧵

PASC or long COVID - what's the difference? The Federal Government’s response to the #LongCovid inquiry used the term Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), rather than long COVID, @majumdar_suman addresses some of the confusion in @CroakeyNews croakey.org/on-pasc-versus…
