New study suggests people who tested negative for Covid-19 can still develop long Covid.

"Of the 103 million confirmed cases of Covid-19 in the U.S., an estimated one-third have led to long Covid — a condition that ranges in severity, but can be debilitating. A new study suggests that even more people may be suffering from the post-viral syndrome without having ever received an official diagnosis of Covid-19."

“We estimated that there were approximately 10 million people in the first year of the pandemic in the U.S. who are in this predicament: who got Covid, got long Covid, but tested negative for Covid,” said Igor Koralnik, who led the study

My beautiful country is on fire.

Firefighters are so overwhelmed by the scale of the disaster that the military has been deployed to help.

Entire cities have been evacuated.

14 million hectares of land has burned in Canada this year, easily dwarfing the previous record of 7.6 million hectares reported in 1989 — and the season isn't even over yet.

Severe drought and extreme heat was exacerbated by fossil fuel-induced #climate change, with dry lightening + wind = deadly.

Hi! #introduction time :) I'm a public librarian and fan of games of all kinds! (Video games, board games, tabletop RPGs, solo and journaling RPGs, etc.)
I'm a fan of #Starforged and #Ironsworn, along with #OSE and #IntoTheOdd, among others.
I also love collecting high-quality physical books and I dabble in bookbinding. I have dreams of making my own solo RPG one day (soon?).

I won’t be watching tonight’s GOP debate. If I wanted to watch a bunch of invertebrates gathered together, I could visit the Aquarium.

Omg. When you get hit with all 4 at once, it's jarring. Hide the kids.
