Strong support for mitochondrial theory of fatigue and brain fog in Long COVID:

"At the cellular level, we saw that the mitochondria of the muscle, also known as the energy factories of the cell, function less well and that they produce less energy," says Rob Wüst, Assistant Professor at Department of Human Movement Sciences at the VU University. "So, the cause of the fatigue is really biological. The brain needs energy to think. Muscles need energy to move."

Can we have one of those folks with the giant hook just off stage remove the guy shilling an eco coin at 🤦🏻

Weekly deaths, all causes, up to 24th Dec.

RIVM has a snazzy new graph which now uses solid blue for the band of expected deaths, instead of the earlier two black lines.

The data itself is horrifying, and completely what I expected due to the wastewater figures.

Note that we don't have any measures other than vaccinating the elderly. That's all we did. Are doing.

No shutdowns, lockdowns, mask mandates, distancing, NOTHING.

* something dreamed about, unremembered

If you don't make up new words are you really writing from scratch?

Because it has to be repeated again and again: We need to drastically reduce the number of cars to solve our problems.

In Dutch the acronym for spectrum disorder is ASS. I can mostly handle this, but every now and then my therapist puts up a picture like this and I burst out laughing, and then I have to apologize for being an 8 year old.
