“It’s a myth to assume this data reflects issues limited to unvaccinated individuals, retiring adults, or people with pre-existing medical conditions,” says Arjun Venkatesh, MD, professor of emergency medicine at Yale School of Medicine and the primary author of the study. “Our cohort tends to be younger and highly vaccinated, yet the reality is that they continue to have prolonged symptoms after an acute COVID infection, which significantly affects their ability to work.” However, getting the COVID-19 vaccine and subsequent booster shots is still the best way to reduce both the likelihood of getting COVID-19 in the first place but also the risk of developing Long COVID after infection, Dr. Venkatesh adds. He is currently conducting longer-term analyses to see if these patients eventually return to work even one or two years after infection.

Saw this a few days ago but saved it for #caturday:

"A European wild cat was nearly extinct. Now, it is making a comeback."

The Iberian lynx is no longer classified as endangered, with one group calling it the “greatest recovery of a cat species ever achieved through conservation.”

Close view of the face and front paws of an Iberian lynx cub lying on a rock. The ears are quite large and have distinctive black tufts at the tips.

A message for anyone who's ever felt like a burden:

"You are lovable.
You are wanted.
You are needed."

Attached photo is of a drawing by Kate Allan, from one of her page-a-day calendars.

#SelfCare #Kindness #ChronicIllness

A pale, dappled unicorn, with a flowing rainbow colored mane and tail, stands up on its hind legs. It looks like it has a slight smile on its face. The text says, "You are lovable. You are wanted. You are needed."
