  Here’s a rare thing; the Irish times reporting sensibly on #LongCovid and how it affects the heart “There is also growing evidence that Long Covid can disrupt the autonomic nervous system” - I have this issue and it’s not fun And it’s not ancient history, new people are being diagnosed every day https://www.irishtimes.com/health/your-wellness/2026/05/05/evidence-mounts-that-long-covid-is-damaging-the-hearts-of-those-affected/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=bluesky
