I was interviewed for this article. Another bill not covered by insurance came from UCI Long COVID Clinic since. “Others may not be so lucky and may be forced to pay for most of their care out of pocket. That's what happened to Amy Cook, 51, of Orange County, California.”
NBC News: 'Long Covid patients face medical debt after insurance denies claims'
'Millions in the U.S. are out of work because of severe long Covid symptoms, and many are struggling to pay their medical bills. Here's how to navigate insurance coverage.'

13th IVIG, going back to 4-week interval Gamunex-C 1 g/kg body weight. 8-week interval symptoms ⬆️. Labs done yesterday. Waiting on prior auth for lumbar puncture. Cried when someone asked if I have anything fun planned today.
This morning energy level better, bone pain subsided after I got up. Mild headache, fairly clear headed. Tinnitus always. Gum sloughing. There was a fire alarm during infusion - those not getting infusion were evacuated. Nurse said someone 🚬 in loo. #LongCovid

Live Nation disclosed in a court filing that Trump actually attended the March 5th meeting where company representatives and federal officials finalized antitrust settlement terms. A lot of people are frustrated with the DOJ over this deal, including many state attorneys general and consumer advocacy groups.
The federal lawsuit originally sought to force a breakup of Live Nation Entertainment by spinning off Ticketmaster. Letting Live Nation keep ownership of Ticketmaster is a reversal that preserves the monopoly.
If Trump was in attendance for the finalization of the deal, it suggests that he had direct influence over the decision to let Live Nation continue to own Ticketmaster.
The personal involvement of a sitting president in a pending DOJ enforcement action that would've benefitted Americans, followed shortly by a sudden reversal, is a real "fuck you" to us all.
Where is the chapter and verse in the MAGA Bible that says American concertgoers should feel powerless about skyhigh ticket prices?
How does this make America great?

These are not work requirements, they are reporting requirements. They are bureaucratic red tape and hurdles that will kick qualified and needy individuals off of Medicaid. All to pay for tax cuts to @elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump and their billionaire pals.
Medicaid work requirements go live in two months. Many states won't be ready. politi.co/4A50Rnw

I'm so glad that we have LLMs to make computers more expensive for the first time since they were invented while also taking my job and making everyone illiterate

National COVlD levels would be characterized as "High" (WVAL=5.63) if the CDC did not downshift all level categories, past & present, as of Aug 14.
We labeled this an "ethics crisis" on Aug 16 & warned it would slow the public health response when levels worsened. We're here.

It’s interesting that Trump is especially interested in rigging the election in Alaska. At exactly the moment when he is trying to give Alaska’s natural resources to Russia.

When Epstein got wind of the raid, he and all of his employees, including his lawyers and accountants, stripped the properties of evidence.

NEW: Our reporting found the recent Starlink outage in Ukraine could be part of an elaborate upsell.
When U.S. officials asked Musk's company about it, they were told the problem could be fixed by upgrading to a new contract.

El-Sayed: Trump called me Abdul Ramadan. Ramadan is the month in which Muslims fast. The thing is groceries under his leadership have gotten so expensive, I wouldn't be surprised if he is like, “listen, we could just do Ramadan for all.”
“Why are you fasting?”
“I can’t afford food”

Well what do you know? Who could have seen it coming?
A Republican women's group is behind a fake Texas transgender student union that sent text messages and brochures to as many as three million voters this month.
The Republican Women’s Caucus Fund and someone named John Braun were identified as those responsible for the scheme that riled up voters just as early voting began, according to legal filings made public late Thursday. The identities were ordered to be revealed by a Travis County judge. bit.ly/48q1oVa
