The Challenges of Getting Long-Covid Patients Back to Work – The Wall Street Journal

When Deborah Shaffer tried to return to work two weeks after her Covid-19 infection, she forgot which floor of the veteran’s hospital she worked on. It was one of the many strange expressions of the brain fog that has plagued the social worker in Wichita, Kan., ever since she contracted the virus last November. Ms. Shaffer is a Covid long-hauler, someone who suffers from chronic symptoms for weeks or months after their initial infection. After her failed early attempts to return to the hospital, she hasn’t worked a full day since she got sick, and has no idea if or when she will go back in person. “I’m a trained therapist and clinical social worker, but cannot complete even the most basic tasks before me,” says Ms. Shaffer, 52. She recently started worki...

My bloody valentine: Machine Gun Kelly says on Instagram he wears Megan Foxs blood around his neck – USA TODAY

Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox celebrated their first Valentine's Day together in unusual fashion Sunday. The musician, born Colson Baker, shared an Instagram post that suggested he carries some of Fox's blood in a necklace.  "i wear your blood around my neck," wrote Kelly alongside an Instagram gallery that included emojis such as a red rose, a blood drop and a knife. "My bloody valentine," he added. The gallery included never-before-seen photos of the couple and a photo of a glass vial with what appeared to be a drop of blood hanging from a small chain. The gesture is reminiscent of Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie, who had a relationship in the early 2000s.

Four reasons experts say coronavirus cases are dropping in the United States – Washington Post

Some point to the quickening pace of coronavirus vaccine administration, some say it’s because of the natural seasonal ebb of respiratory viruses and others chalk it up to social distancing measures. And every explanation is appended with two significant caveats: The country is still in a bad place, continuing to notch more than 90,000 new cases every day, and recent progress could still be imperiled, either by new fast-spreading virus variants or by relaxed social distancing measures. The rolling daily average of new infections in the United States hit its all-time high of 248,200 on Jan. 12, according to data gathered and analyzed by The Washington Post. Since then, the number has dropped every day, hitting 91,000 on Sunday, its lowest level since November. A former director of the C...
