‘Long COVID’ is a growing public health crisis that could affect a billion in just a few years!
Long COVID may already affect between 7 million and 23 million Americans who previously had the virus, or up to 7% of the U.S. population, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
Different estimates of how many people are affected with long COVID vary widely—from 10% to 80% of COVID survivors. More than half of COVID survivors report symptoms that persist after six months, Penn State College of Medicine researchers reported last year.
It’s a poorly understood condition that could disable over a billion worldwide in just a few years, says Arijit Chakravarty, a COVID researcher and CEO of Fractal Therapeutics, a drug development firm. Experts say that it’s quickly growing into a major public health concern already overwhelming primary-care physicians.

Preliminary 3.3 magnitude quake jolts South Carolina
There were no immediate reports of any damages or injuries.
The pre-dawn temblor lasted only seconds but a number of people took to social media to describe being shaken from sleep when the quake hit shortly after 1:30 a.m.
A seismic analyst monitoring the quake for the USGS Geological Survey’s National Earthquake Information Center in Colorado, called it the latest in a series of shakes in recent months but stronger than usual.

DOCTOR STRANGE SCORES BIG IN OUR UNIVERSE
RESULTS ARE IN: Benedict Cumberbatch as DOCTOR STRANGE has made an estimated $185 million domestically for its opening this weekend, according to Disney..
That is on the higher end of expectations..It had the been predicted that it would make around $170 million to $185 million in North America. It also makes “Multiverse of Madness” the 11th biggest opening in domestic box office history.
The film’s more than doubled the opening weekend of the original “Doctor Strange.” ..
The summer box office season appears to have started with a bang.. call it the post COVID boom?
Other films are slated to be big hits in the summer months.
Marvel will premiere another potential hit in July:
“Thor: Love and Thunder,” the next film in the blockbuster franchise starring Chris Hemsworth in the mid summer..
INTERESTINGLY, the newest STRANGER did not get the grand ratings that SPIDER-MAN did.. Right now on Rotten Tomatoes, the critics score is hovering in the mid 70% range and fan rating did not have the movie above 90%..
The horror version of Doctor Strange?
Some felt the Sam Raimi style made the film more of a horror than action–but that played well among several demos..
But… perhaps who cares when showcased aside of the box office results..
Money talks.
Rotten Tomatoes walk.

White House COVIDspondents dinner outbreak continues
Media figures react to COVID positive cases after White House correspondents dinner outbreak
“I’m yet another [White House Correspondents Association] weekend casualty,” tweeted Julia Ioffe, a correspondent at Puck News. “I knew I was taking a risk and, well, here we are!”
Jada Yuan, who covered the dinner for The Washington Post, also tweeted she tested positive afterwards and would have to miss an international work trip she had been looking forward to. “Hindsight and all that, but wear a mask or leave or tell your employer you can’t go if you’re in a situation where you feel uncomfortable,” she tweeted. “Those consequences are usually better than the ones you’ll face if you get sick.”
“We worked hard to publicize our protocols and encouraged those eligible to get booster shots in the weeks leading up to the dinner,” Steve Portnoy, president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, wrote in an email. “Our event implemented protocols that went beyond any guidance or regulation issued by the CDC or the DC health department. We wish anyone who may not be feeling well a speedy recovery.”
Concerning how serious the cases will be.. THE HILL writes,
Attendees at the White House Correspondents Dinner are generally privileged and well-connected people, who have much better access to treatments like Paxlovid, as well as paid time off and other benefits, than some Americans.
