The fact that #Omicron doesn’t replicate as much in the lung doesn’t make me feel better. Why? #COVID19 was never just a respiratory disease, that’s its primary mode of transmission. I’m increasingly concerned about what this means for vasculature/clot presentation in particular.
It makes sense to me that a virus would want to improve consolidation ability to be able to spread in higher aerosol concentrations @kprather88
If it either improves its stickiness or causes our secretions/proteins to become stickier I’m worried what that means for #LongCovid/2

It’s also concerning to me that frontline healthcare workers are *already* reporting seeing increased rates of MI, stroke, and PE with #Omicron wave despite decreased ARDS.
I guess only time will tell…

4/ *Do not mess around with SARS, it is a NOVEL VIRUS* https://twitter.com/ErinSandersNP/status/1469366250891624451?s=20
5/ Do what you can to prevent getting #COVID19. Even if you get infected using *multiple* layers of protection (vax/N95 masks/HEPA filters/ventilation) will reduce the DOSE of virus you are exposed to. If sick, please allow your body to rest and recover! https://twitter.com/ErinSandersNP/status/1478191403863846912?s=20
6/ I don't mean to scare anyone. I believe knowledge is power and powerful and people should know how to protect themselves from an #airborne virus and shouldn’t get infected with a NOVEL VIRUS, severely ill, disabled or die because leadership failed us. https://twitter.com/ErinSandersNP/status/1474428484269318145?s=20
7/ And yes, #COVID19 is a pan-body disease that can result in death, severe illness and long/short term disability of unknown duration after even mild initial illness. There is still so much we don't know and truthfully, what we *DO* know up to this point is concerning. Stay safe
8/ To clarify. I am a disabled, chronically ill, nurse practitioner/clinical scientist who has studied #COVID19 since it first emerged. I do not give treatment or medical advice over Twitter.
Clotting we see with COVID is not new, see path/autopsy year 1: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FU1FqRQCPmvxegK9PinthG9SHxTNbwd03m_NfElbUC0/edit#gid=0

9/ I have a particular interest in #LongCovid and understanding complex chronic diseases that disproportionately impact women.
I made these resource sheets to help keep track of the enormous amount of data being published. They are not complete. #Omicron https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gF-kMUxJWNrwxbmoMW2wGKTMlksRUAROjh7b97G9IE8/edit#gid=0

10/ Of note, #LongCovid is VERY similar to other
Infection Triggered Chronic Illness (ITCI)
That have historically been understudied and underfunded.
Leverage the huge amount of data we already have on myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS). #Omicron https://twitter.com/microbeminded2/status/1476546558418116612?s=20

11/ Dr. Fauci estimates that 10-30 PLUS % of people will have persistent symptoms after #Covid_19. Due to spread, ALL clinicians will see patients with #LongCovid and/or a history of infection.
This will impact EVERY CLINICAL SPECIALTY

12/ I'll end with this, I don't think we should encourage or enable infecting anyone with anything. Period.
Be wary of the interests and motivations and privileges of people minimizing the threat.
Protect yourself. And FFS listen to disabled people. https://twitter.com/JuliaRaifman/status/1478754110484668431?s=20
