6 months in Germany! 🇩🇪🔬❤️ Months of hard work & new challenges! And next week, I'll be presenting our first results at a conference! What if SARS-CoV-2 leaves more behind than we think? Millions of people are still living with #LongCOVID, and we keep fighting to understand why.

A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier issued a verbal reprimand to a group of advisers and staffers with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. As the group broke from taking photos, a loud laugh could be heard, and the soldier guarding the tomb shouted: “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.”

Belgium SARS-CoV-2 Wastewater Surveillance 9 November 2026 Update: 🚨CAUTION ATTENTION! National SARSCoV2 levels across Belgium have JUMPED to a VERY high detection level( Highest in >2 years!)👇 Wastewater surveillance: VERY HIGH SARSCoV2 activity across Belgium. ALL stations now reporting high, multiple very high activity levels. The current COVID-19 wave remains ongoing and has clearly grown substantially! Just as a reminder: Still NO, or very low influenza and RSV detection levels! Belgium has a nearly non-existent genomic surveillance, variant( XFG*/PJ.2*/PQ.16*)?! We're in the dark! Covid-19 new vaccine campaign started only recently, obviously, far too late! Protect yourselves: #AvoidSars2 #AvoidReinfections #GetYourVaccineUpdate wastewater.sciensano.be/dash…

The Unfinished Story of COVID-19: Long-Term Immune, Vascular, Rheumatological, Neurological and Cardiovascular Consequences ➡️New interesting Indian narrative review with 5 informative key explanation figures.🧵👇 🚨“Long COVID is best approached as a heterogeneous post-infectious condition, not a single disease with a single test or mechanism. Rheumatological, haematological/vascular, immune, neuropsychiatric, and cardiovascular manifestations can overlap, but each symptom still deserves a careful differential diagnosis.” ➡️Their Key Learning Points: "1. Long COVID is a Multisystem Condition: Persistent or newly emerging symptoms after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection can affect multiple organs, even after apparent recovery from the initial illness. 2. Rheumatological Manifestations May Persist: Arthralgia, myalgia, fatigue and inflammatory musculoskeletal symptoms can contribute to prolonged functional impairment and may require evaluation for underlying inflammatory or autoimmune disorders. 3. Haematological and Vascular Complications Deserve Attention: abnormalities, Persistent endothelial coagulation dysfunction and thromboinflammatory mechanisms may contribute to vascular complications in selected patients. Abnormal biomarkers alone do not establish ongoing thrombosis. 4. Immune Dysregulation May Have Prolonged Consequences: Altered immune responses may contribute to persistent inflammation, changes in infection susceptibility manifestations. tuberculosis Recurrent require and post-infectious infections appropriate and clinical investigation rather than automatic attribution to Long COVID. 5. Urticaria and Other Cutaneous Manifestations May Occur: Persistent or recurrent skin symptoms can be part of the post-COVID clinical picture, although their mechanisms and relationship to immune dysregulation remain incompletely understood. 6. Neuropsychiatric Sequelae Can Substantially Affect Quality of Life: Anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, cognitive difficulties and memory complaints may persist after infection and warrant systematic assessment. 7. Cardiovascular Complications Extend Beyond Acute Myocardial Injury: Long-term manifestations may include arrhythmias, exercise intolerance, autonomic dysfunction, chest discomfort and heart failure in some patients. Persistent symptoms require evaluation for alternative or coexisting causes. 8. Sudden Cardiac Death Requires Particular Caution: Potential arrhythmic and cardiovascular mechanisms warrant clinical attention, but the possibility of sudden cardiac death should not be confused with proof of an increased long-term risk in every person with Long COVID. 9. Symptoms May Overlap Across Organ Systems: Fatigue, breathlessness, palpitations, cognitive impairment, and exercise intolerance can arise from several interacting mechanisms. A coordinated, symptom-directed assessment is therefore preferable to a single-organ approach. 10. Biomarkers must be interpreted in Clinical Context: Inflammatory markers, coagulation parameters, cardiac biomarkers, and imaging findings can support evaluation when indicated, but no single test establishes the full spectrum of Long COVID. 11. Management Should be Individualized and Multidisciplinary: Care may involve primary care, pulmonology, cardiology, rheumatology, neurology, psychiatry, and other specialties according to the patient's symptoms and objective findings. 12. Important Research Gaps Remain: Better-defined phenotypes, longitudinal follow-up, validated diagnostic approaches and robust studies of mechanisms, treatment and long-term outcomes are needed to improve care." ‼️So, LongC0VID is a real but heterogeneous multisystem condition. Not every symptom is autoimmune disease, thrombosis, immunodeficiency, or direct viral injury, and raised cardiovascular risk is not the same as high sudden cardiac death risk in every survivor. A careful, phenotype-led approach, selective testing, attention to red flags and alternative diagnoses, and individualised care, is required. The mechanisms, absolute risks and best treatments remain incompletely defined. #AvoidSars2 #AvoidReinfections 1/5 researchgate.net/profile/Shi…

🇩🇰🇺🇦 Zelensky: There is one thing we might regret today: that Ukraine and Denmark do not share a border. You have much better neighbors than we do. After all, we have Russia as our neighbor. And having a neighbor like Denmark is something any country would dream of right now. Maybe when someone in America wanted Greenland, he didn't even realize that what he really wanted was not the land, but to become a little more Danish. And who knows, maybe that was exactly what he needed.
