Summer COVID Symptoms You Need to Know

Anyone else hearing about this summer COVID surge? Docs are seeing a spike in cases thanks to new variants (Nimbus and Stratus), and the symptoms are super familiar: fatigue, runny nose, headache, fever, congestion, cough, and even a brutal sore throat people are calling “razor blade throat.” If you’re high-risk or feeling really rough, get checked out—meds like Paxlovid can help. And yes, COVID tests still work for these new strains! Stay masked in crowds, keep up with your shots, and don’t brush off those sniffles as “just a cold.” #Health #BodyHealth #COVID19

New COVID Variant Alert: What to Know

There’s a new COVID variant, NB.1.8.1, popping up in the US and it’s spreading faster than the last one. The symptoms? Pretty much the usual—dry cough, congestion, fatigue, sore throat, fever, muscle aches. No signs it’s more severe, but it might dodge some immune defenses. Vaccines should still help keep things mild, especially for high-risk folks. If you’re feeling off, rest up, hydrate, and call your doc if breathing gets tough. Stay safe out there! #Health #BodyHealth #COVID19

COVID Brain Fog = Alzheimer’s in Disguise?

Wild new study alert: COVID might actually cause Alzheimer’s-like plaques in your brain AND eyes. That could explain why so many people get that weird ‘brain fog’ after being sick. Researchers found that even folks with no dementia history showed these plaques if they’d had COVID. Bonus twist: blocking a certain protein (NRP1) stopped the plaque buildup in lab tests. Could this be the key to fighting COVID brain fog—and maybe even Alzheimer’s? Science is on the case! #Health #BodyHealth #COVID19

Covid Drug Maker Shuts Down After Boom

Remember those companies that made life-saving Covid drugs? One of them, Aluchua Government Services, just filed for bankruptcy and is shutting down. They were huge during the pandemic, but now that demand for Covid treatments has dropped, they couldn’t survive. After laying off most of their staff and failing to find a buyer, they’re liquidating everything. Wild how fast things change—one minute you’re essential, the next you’re out of business. #Health #BodyHealth #Covid19

COVID Brain Fog Lasts Way Longer Than You Think

Turns out, that post-COVID brain fog isn’t just in your head—literally. A new study found that even after physically recovering from COVID-19, a lot of people still have trouble focusing and reacting quickly for months. We’re talking slower reaction times and more missed details, even if you never needed intensive care. Nearly 40% of patients still had attention issues three months after leaving the hospital. Kinda wild, right? Makes you think twice about jumping back behind the wheel or into high-stakes tasks too soon! #Health #BodyHealth #COVID19

reinstalled minecraft again after 10 years in my old Samsung Galaxy…

Saw an old screenshot pop up, and it turns out this guy was playing on a Samsung Galaxy On Max—one of those budget phones from back in the day. Like, Android 8-era stuff. Totally outdated now. 😂 But what really hit me wasn’t the phone… it was realizing that 2017 was EIGHT years ago. That’s pre-COVID. Pre-BC. 😂😭😮‍💨 Back when TikTok didn’t exist, and we thought 3GB of RAM was plenty. 😭 It’s wild how our brains now divide time into “before COVID” and “after COVID.” I saw that date and instantly felt like I was looking at a relic from a different life. ☹️💔 Time is crazy. #Minecraft #Nostalgia #Covid19 #PreCovidEnergy #Android8Forever #SamsungGalaxy #Games

FDA Adds New Heart Risk Warnings to Vax

Big update: The FDA just added new warnings to Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines about rare heart inflammation risks, especially for guys aged 12-24. The numbers are still super low (like 27 cases per million doses for that age group), but some people had lingering heart symptoms months later. They’re still studying if these changes mean anything long-term. If you or someone you know had weird heart symptoms after a shot, the FDA wants to hear about it! #COVID19 #VaccineUpdate #FDA #Health #BodyHealth

Still No Clear Answer on COVID’s Origins

Three years, tons of research, and the WHO still can’t say for sure how COVID-19 started. Most signs point to animals, but the lab leak theory isn’t totally off the table—mainly because China didn’t share enough data. The expert group couldn’t reach a consensus, and some members even quit or took their names off the final report. Bottom line: we’re still in the dark about how the pandemic really began. Wild, right? #COVID19 #WHO #PandemicOrigins #Health #BodyHealth

FDA Expands Heart Risk Warning on COVID Shots

Big update: The FDA just told Pfizer and Moderna to beef up their warnings about rare heart risks (myocarditis and pericarditis) linked to their COVID vaccines—especially for young men. The new data says the risk is highest for guys 12-24, but it’s still super rare (like 27 cases per million). Some experts think this move is more about politics than science, especially with RFK Jr. shaking up vaccine policy. What do you think—more transparency or just more confusion? #COVID19 #VaccineUpdate #FDA #Health #BodyHealth
