An editorial image with a pink-orange gradient banner labeled "Editorial" and the WHN.global logo. Background shows people at a protest holding signs such as “End the Lockdown,” “Tell Bill Gates to go vaccinate himself,” and “COVID = Scam.” In the foreground, large white bold text reads: “This is what happens when we pretend the pandemic is over.” Subtext: “Health, economy, and policy are all suffering. Let’s talk about what’s really happening →” Footer text: “Read the full piece at whn.global/scientific/the-unspoken-consequences-of-covid-19”

Same pink-orange editorial banner as previous. The image contains a large quote at the top: “The fading of COVID-19 from media headlines... has resulted in a general unawareness and apathy toward this disease.” Paragraph below: "More than five years into the pandemic, a dangerous narrative has taken hold: that SARS-CoV-2 has become a mild, endemic virus. This belief has been used to justify the removal of protections and the halting of mitigation efforts. But data from multiple disciplines – epidemiology, clinical research, and economics – show that this perception is not only inaccurate, but harmful. COVID-19 is not over. And ignoring it will not make it go away." Footer: “Read the full piece at whn.global/scientific/the-unspoken-consequences-of-covid-19”

Editorial banner remains. Bold quote reads: “Long COVID... affects a significant proportion of infected individuals, with estimates ranging from 10–30% in non-hospitalized cases and over 50% in hospitalized patients.” Explanation below: "Long COVID is now recognized as a major post-viral condition. Symptoms may include fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, cardiovascular complications, and multi-organ impairment, among many others. The scale of Long COVID has profound implications for public health, disability systems, and labor force participation." Footer: “Read the full piece at whn.global/scientific/the-unspoken-consequences-of-covid-19”

Same editorial header. Quote reads: “Rather than succumbing to a cycle of denial and inaction… we must acknowledge the consequences of unmitigated mass infection.” Text below: "Despite mounting evidence, Long COVID continues to be downplayed in public discourse, dismissed by outdated medical frameworks, and overlooked in policymaking. The long-term burden of COVID-19 is no longer hypothetical – it is a present reality with cascading impacts across healthcare, labor, and society. It’s time for leaders, institutions, and the public to act with urgency, transparency, and science-based resolve." Footer: “Read the full piece at whn.global/scientific/the-unspoken-consequences-of-covid-19”

This WHN editorial breaks down the long-term health, economic, and policy consequences of unchecked COVID spread. From Long COVID and immune disruption to labor force impacts and public health failures, the evidence is clear: silence is costing us.

Incredible work. What a great way to communicate the toll of long covid and break the dominant narrative of "you just need to push through a bit"

The Fight to Be Believed: Long COVID’s Toll on Black Americans Black people made up about 32% of long COVID cases, one study found, but are “not being taken as seriously,” said one patient.

Interesting and I’m happy for you. What is the lactate threshold heart rate you refer to? I have vacillated between room bound -homebound. Currently able to leave the house once or twice a week for short social visit.

Children with Long COVID Deserve Better Care

Many children with #LongCOVID face debilitating symptoms, yet struggle to access basic symptom management. Clinical trials, clear guidelines, and better physician education are urgently needed. Children deserve real relief — and real action.

Real-world effectiveness and causal mediation study of BNT162b2 on long COVID risks in children and adolescents Our study suggests that BNT162b2 was effective in reducing risk of long COVID outcomes in children and adolescents during the Delta and Omicron periods.

💙🫂thank you Jessica. Kindness matters.

Excellent pacing. If you don’t mind sharing.- at your most severe- how many steps were you able to take each day? Have you regained significant function with this?

Heartrate graph. Itemised activities below it.

0.6 out of 27 daily pace points

Micropacing to LIVE more than I used to, with #LongCovid

Keeping my heartrate low, to avoid #PostExertionalMalaise in the days ahead.

An hour of exam marking done ✔️

Almost an hour of relaxed driving ✔️

It's only 10:30am and I've only used 2% of my #VisibleHealth PacePoints

There’s still time to participate in our long COVID family planning survey!

A silver haired woman is wearing a black Can99 facemask and sits in a wheelchair. She is thin, her arms are bare and she has a Visible armband on to track hr. She has Long Covid and despite thousands of dollars spent, and many doctors- there is no cure for her debilitating illness. Prevention is the best cure. If only she could go back in time.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure…or as in my case, worth many thousands of $$$ and no cure. #LongCovid

I Don't Know Anyone With Long Covid Yes. You do. It might even be you. Let's take a look at why people don't realize, or can't admit, that they're dealing with Long Covid.

We need public health campaigns on how to prevent COVID infections (respirators & clean air!) as well as who can get Long COVID & how it presents

Stigma, denial & misinformation are leading folks to think that Long COVID is rare. That they don’t know anyone impacted by the condition

They’re wrong

Our monthly online support meeting (at LCAI) for spouses/partners and carers is tomorrow, Sunday at 7pm Irish time.

Screen shot of a World Health Network slide “8. Clean Indoor Air Is a Prevention Strategy Long COVID is, to an extent, preventable. Reducing airborne transmission of the virus through improved ventilation and air purification-particularly in schools and workplaces-is essential public health infrastructure”

Global experts reach consensus on Long COVID caused by airborne SARS2 virus

🔹LC = organ damage, immune
dysfunction, neurological injury
🔹Kids are affected
🔹Clean indoor air is vital
🔹Most standard tests miss it
🔹Invest in diagnostics & treatment

A silver haired woman is wearing a KN 95 aura mask and a teal long Covid awareness month sweatshirt. A man is leaning towards her- he is wearing a black can 99 mask and an orange shirt. They are in an airport waiting for a flight.

Two people sit side-by-side in an airplane. Silver haired woman is wearing a teal sweatshirt and a KN95 mask. She holds a CO2 monitor which display the numeral 683. Under the number is a green bar showing that this is a safe level of CO2 in the airplane.. This is prior to the flight. She is the first one on the plane as she is disabled..

A dimly lit airplane cabin has a woman sitting with a CO2 monitor in front of her facing the camera. The number is now say 1434 CO2, the bar below the numeral is red, showing that this is an unsafe air quality. She describes to her son next to her.- this shows that we are breathing other people’s air if we take our masks off. Of course we do not take our masks..

Recent flight back from Florida- treatment at the Center for Collaborative Research- NeuroImmune Clinic. Being treated for MECFS and Long Covid- repeat infections are dangerous. Persistent coughing on the flight home. CO2 readings at the start of the flight and the end= ☢️ #MaskUp #LongCovid

Thank you!

Proud of my #Vermont neighbors in Waitsfield. Housebound and bedbound due to #LongCovid- but I was there in spirit.

Vermonters are an independent bunch and don’t put up with bullshit.
