A review of 49 MRI studies shows that COVID-19 is associated with structural and functional brain changes.
➡️ Abnormalities are most commonly seen in the frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes, as well as the limbic system and subcortical regions.
➡️ These findings suggest widespread brain involvement, not limited to a single area.
➡️ The changes may explain both acute neurological symptoms and long-term effects (LongCOVID).
👉 COVID-19 is not just a respiratory disease—it has measurable, widespread effects on the brain

Strait of Hormuz traffic drops sharply amid regional escalation
Vessel activity in the Strait of Hormuz has shifted materially following recent US strikes on Iran and the subsequent regional escalation. According to real-time traffic analysis, transits through the chokepoint fell by approximately 70% after 16:00 UTC on 28 February, compared with levels 12 hours earlier.
#MarineTraffic playback shows visible behavioural changes across the region over the past three days, including U-turns, idling, reduced speeds, and last-minute diversions, particularly after maritime security warnings were issued. Watch the playback of vessel activity in the Strait of Hormuz over the past three days.

COVID is not “just a cold.” Even mild or asymptomatic infections can cause lasting health effects, damaging blood vessels and organs, affecting the brain, and weakening the immune system. Reduce possible harm by avoiding infection and reinfection — preventing COVID is possible through measures such as masking, ventilation, testing and vaccination.

The Sun is an enormous, free fusion reactor in the sky. It is super dumb to make tiny fusion reactors on Earth.
Even if you burned 4 Jupiters, the Sun would still round up to 100% of all power that will ever be produced in the solar system!!
Stop wasting money on puny little reactors, unless actively acknowledging that they are just there for your pet science project jfc.

Severe COVID-19 leaves behind a long-lasting, systemic, and biologically measurable pro-oncogenic state
that persists for at least one year after infection and may increase cancer risk or worsen cancer prognosis🧵

Long-Term Transcriptomic Reprogramming in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Severe COVID-19 Survivors Reveals Pro-Oncogenic Signatures and Cancer-Associated Hub Genes 🔥The plot thickens……”severe COVID-19 infection may establish a systemic milieu favourable to cancer development or recurrence.”(Turkey) ➡️Authors provide the first evidence of a persistent pro-oncogenic transcriptomic signature in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) one-year post-severe COVID-19. ➡️RNA-seq revealed enriched cancer hallmarks: evading cell death, proliferative signaling, and invasion/metastasis, driven by hub genes like histone variants (H3F3C, HIST2H3D), transcription factors (JUN, EGR1), NOTCH1, and SQSTM1/P62, suggesting systemic epigenetic reprogramming primes tumorigenesis. ➡️Key Hub genes H3-5/H3F3C, H3C13/HIST2H3D, JUN, EGR1, NOTCH1, SQSTM1/P62 link inflammation, autophagy, and tumorigenesis. ➡️Systemic IL-6-driven awakening of dormant cancer cells, EMT promotion, NETs reactivation and epigenetic reprogramming via JUN/EGR1 and histone variants. ➡️Study aligns with studies showing SARS-CoV-2 accelerates metastasis (Chia et al., 2024) and creates inflammatory memory (Qian et al., 2025). ➡️They also have a small milder (non-pneumonia) C19 cohort in this study, that shows some persistent transcriptomic changes and cancer pathway enrichments, though less pronounced than in severe cases. ➡️So, COVID-19 primes a possible systemic tumor-promoting environment. ➡️"This study provides robust transcriptomic evidence that severe COVID-19 infection leaves a permanent, systemic, and pro-oncogenic immunological scar that persists long after infection and can increase cancer risk." ➡️"The identification of specific molecular targets like SQSTM1/P62 and the enrichment of cancer-related pathways elucidate the biology underlying this process." ➡️"Our findings, combined with the powerful evidence from both clinical observations and large human cohorts as well as experimental models, definitively underscore the critical importance of long-term oncological surveillance for patients who have recovered from severe COVID-19 for potential malignancy development or recurrence." "This must be a major priority area for healthcare systems in the (post-)pandemic era." ‼️Reinfection is subsequently not the most intelligent path forward. AVOID SARSCOV2! mdpi.com/1999-4915/17/1…

Alright, who trolls Trump better?
Is it This Hour has 22 minutes or SNL?
I'm not being biased but it's the Canadian show that does it the best.

COVID INFECTION MAKES YOU MORE VULNERABLE TO SECONDARY INFECTIONS.

The UKHSA have started publishing this goldmine again - but this year it's even more valuable *because they've reset it to a period when testing was consistent*. This is very important and it shows yet again: Covid infection makes you vulnerable to other infection.

Warning—never dry your hands with air dryers in public bathrooms. Fecal aerosols are real. Don’t dry with airborne poop. Public toilets honestly need UV and HEPA filters.

Metformin prescribed within a week of documented SARS2 infection was associated with a 53% lower risk of LC compared to controls(fluvoxamine, fluticasone, ivermectin, or montelukast).

My mum has been certified dead 🕯
Police called us this afternoon and I identified her full body in the photo.
The Tai Po Wang Fuk Court fire has killed at least 151 people, some bodies burned to ashes.
"4 Demands, Not one less":
1. Ensure accommodation for displaced residents;
2. Set up an independent investigation committee to look into potential conflicts of interest;
3. Review the construction supervision system;
4. Probe regulatory neglect, as well as hold government officials accountable.
My mum's last seen time would forever be kept at 14 : 53, November 26, 2025.

The fire has been fully controlled after 43 hours. 128 people was identified as DEAD and the numbers would keep rising after more dead bodies are transfering out from the building. My mum has NOT been found in the dead bodies album at Day 2. Painfully believing my mum🤞

For those who are curious, here's what's inside our Jasper prototype. It's simple, inexpensive, and very reliable.

Even if you were to personally escape the medical consequences of repeat infection (you won't), nobody is going to escape the social and economic consequences.
