Summarization
Two prospective studies on long COVID found 59% had organ impairment at 1 year and 1/3rd of patients had persistent interstitial lung abnormalities at 2 years. CIDRAP shared responses regarding asthmatics' response, a group of 'Flublogia' social media accounts, long-term damage of COVID-19, WHO being called out, mistakes related to scientific communication, risks of death from the COVID-19 virus, and behaviors to limit risk attributed to it. Additionally, CIDRAP discussed H5N1 avian influenza and a commentary discussing airborne spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Topic Modeling
- COVID-19 and its long-term effects
- Social media accounts following avian flu
- The need for scientists to be part of public scientific conversation
- Public health preparedness
- Precautions to take for COVID-19

| 1624769803821916162 | March 2020. I was having none of it then. I'm having none of it now. Neither it seems are concerned scientists the world over. WHO has been called out, complete w receipts.
