Exercise bad for some Long Covid sufferers

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-09/exercise-could-be-harmful-for-some-people-with-long-covid-study-shows

"ACT for PACS is a physical therapy program utilizing progressive exercise tailored to symptom response
that reduces fatigue. Despite early concerns that exercise programs might worsen symptoms, the data
reported demonstrate that when appropriately prescribed and implemented, a supervised, gradual,
symptom-oriented physical therapy program is well tolerated and should be considered as first line
rehabilitation for individuals with PACS."

Exercise isn't bad for long covid sufferers. They want you sitting on your ass and doing nothing so you can progressively get worse and then get sicker and become more dependent on the system.

Its common knowledge that post trauma or bad infections its not a great idea to hit the gym and exercise like a beast on your first day back. Gradual "physical therapy program" aka exercise is best.
But for them to claim "excercise is bad for some long covid sufferers" thats just straight up evil and the sheeple will fall for it.

Anything to do with Covid 19 in T&T is pointless as the vast majority of you Trinis have learnt nothing.

I haven't gotten any virus symptoms in a year and a half.

Since ive started taking Ivermectin.

[pugboy]

[nick639v2]

A lot of otc test kits showing positives/false positives with this flu too so who knows

[pugboy]

this flu not mild at all from the ppl i know who have caught it

Ok nice but a year and a half is pretty insignificant. Because I just got the cold for the first time in years( since long before Covid). If you think it’s working for you, then fine but you can’t be sure that it’s the cause of your good fortunes

[Chimera]

many people describing it as bad or worse than when they had covid

plenty ppl ending up on drips

[pugboy]

so he need to take it for the rest of his life to make a proper judgement?

I got sick a couple times since COVID started. I took the almighty vaccine so I never bother to get tested for COVID or anything, just rally it out with panadine and multi symptom

Before that was one or two per year consistently for at lest 10 years prior.

Thats why it stood out.
I all about the country and at least twice for the week getting roast with mosquito in the forest, so supposed to be more susceptible than anyone

A lot of otc test kits showing positives/false positives with this flu too so who knows

the latest covid variant is JN.1 and very contagious- and yes it appears to be worse than other variants so i dont think its false positives

Doctor's Covid warning as mutated variant BA.2.86 may cause more severe disease

https://the-express.com/news/health/123682/covid-variant-omicron-pirola-jn1-mutations-more-severe-disease-study

mask mandates in some US hospitals are back

No one cares anymore about COVID and it's future variants, contagious or not. FACTS!

[DMan7]

[paid_influencer]

[pugboy]

a flu can damage your lungs too
lot of old folks who don’t get over a flu properly can turn into pneumonia which licks up the lungs

Will this advisory will lead to a big stick mandate?

[Dave]

It has been made abundantly clear we have to live with the virus.
Also the minister said they dumped quite a few vaccines as they expired so he encouraged all to take the influenza shot.

[maj. tom]

Those were old vaccines from the first batch, not the updated ones that everyone else is using. Why the ass we supposed to take boosters of an old batch that will be useless against the current covid season? That's the excuse the Minister gave as why we not getting new covid vaccines? The covid-19 is now known to be as mutative as the Influenza and every season a new batch of vaccines has to be developed and distributed. The numbers needed to be ordered will be about the same as the number of persons who take the annual flu shot locally so don't let him come and pretend they don't know how much to order and not waste.

[pugboy]

so how come we not getting new batch ?

maybe in the hospitals/clinics etc. can't see a nationwide mandate coming back unless we getting daily deaths again.

some US states reinstated mandatory masks in hospitals.

[Dizzy28]

so how come we not getting new batch ?

Newsday today has a story with an interview with Terry. He says the order for vaccines has to be a minimum size and Trinidad's vaccine uptake is too small.
