Dear #CovidConscious / #CovidCautious Community:
Please follow and support the #ThreatModelCovid newsletter -- no idea how we got lucky enough to deserve @violetblue and to still be getting thorough, vetted news roundups here in 2025, but lets all do whatever we're able to keep it going and to keep Violet and the kitcats thriving.

News this week on NB.1.8.1/"Nimbus", the strain it's putting on Asia, and its creep around the globe (of particular note: France, NYC, California).
Also included: studies on #LongCovid in young children and college-age young adults, #PhysicsGirl 's road to recovery, and the livestream option for Sir #IanMcKellen 's production of "Twelfth Night" with an all #trans and #nonbinary cast!
Scicomm YouTuber Dianna Cowern, aka Physics Girl, came down with COVID in July 2022 while on honeymoon. By March 2023, she was hospitalised with ME/CFS and spent nearly two years housebound and bedbound. This year, she has slowly begun to recover.

This morning I cried a little after seeing Dianna Cowern actually walking around. She's known as #physicsgirl a science communicator on youtube, and has been debilitated by the consequences of COVID for over 2 years.
Amazing update from Physics Girl. She has been battling Long COVID and ME/CFS being bed ridden for 2 1/2 years.

The first update from Diana's point of view, in her own voice. A very active, fit, energetic young woman--the type of people were told ad nauseam was "safe" from COVID--has been bedridden for YEARS, and developed a terrible chronic illness.
Physics Girl, positive news
I hate Youtube shorts with a passion & not being able to get back to one is just one reason - but I did click on it, because it was #physicsgirl Dianna Cowern finally standing, if only for a moment, on her own two feet for the first time after having been literally laid up for two years by long COVID 
@ennopark Zwischen Spontanheilung und Fortschtritten ist ja sehr viel Platz. Das bekannteste Beispiel ist sicher #PhysicsGirl, der ist ja jahrelang so schlecht ging, dass sie fast nichts machen konnte und erst seit einigen Wochen macht sie Fortschritte. Es gibt weder Grund zu Fatalismus noch zur Verharmlosung
Missed this last week as YouTube science celeb Physics Girl stands for first time in two years!

Physics Girl, positive news
Here's your happy news for the day. I just learnt that #physicsgirl Dianna is standing up for the first time in 2 years. She's been lying in the dark for years due to debilitating #longcovid .
I shed a little tear. You go girl!
Some AWESOME news from #PhysicsGirl!
After a long and difficult fight against the effects of #LongCovid, she's now able to stand for the first time in two years!
