A common virus once thought harmless to humans might be linked to Parkinson's disease, a new study says. The germ, Human Pegivirus (HPgV), was found in half the autopsied brains of patients with Parkinson's, but not in any brains from healthy people. 1/

COVID is the main driver in the increase of unemployment. I was 21, starting my career in aerospace engineering, when I was infected by COVID-19 - that ended immediately. I am now 25 and still unable to work a normal job. I am 1 in millions with this exact story.

So there was a lot of talk recently about a paper discussing COVID-19 micro-clotting. I thought I’d break it down in simple language. The paper looked at why tiny blood vessels get blocked in severe COVID-19. They discovered, it is not the usual clots we hear about. 🧵👇🏻
