Most people survive the Coronavirus with their kidneys intact. But not 34-year-old Austin resident Vanessa Ramos.An experienced community organizer with nonprofits like the Sierra Club, Ramos was healthy and active before she got infected. Then she caught the COVID-19 virus in December 2021, and symptoms lingered through the new year despite her efforts to focus on healing and recovery.
“I was trying to prioritize my physical health because I couldn’t lift things; I couldn’t open things,” Ramos recalled. “I didn’t understand why I was getting weaker.”
In 2022, she kept getting sick over and over. Colds progressed to sinus infections. She had fluid in her ears after an infection, which required surgery. She even came down with walking pneumonia.
“I was getting an infection every month—different bacterial infections, different parts of my body,” Ramos said.
Initially, doctors didn’t dig deeper, perhaps because Ramos was uninsured. As with any chronic, debilitating condition, accessing medical care can be challenging; quality healthcare is most often tied to employment, and those who are chronically ill may no longer be able to work for long stretches of time.
It wasn’t until last year that a nurse finally gave her a diagnosis: long COVID. But by then her kidneys were failing. Ultimately, COVID—which can attack any organ, including the circulatory system itself—was likely the trigger for her to develop a rare form of vasculitis, a chronic swelling of the circulatory system that destroyed the functioning of her kidneys and continues to threaten her heart and lungs.
Ramos is out of work, spends up to nine hours a day hooked to a dialysis machine, and is awaiting a kidney transplant.

UK Politics
It's now impossible to have a UK General Election on 2-May with the Mayor and Council elections. So it looks like being October on a date that will make Uni Student votes difficult due to registration problems at the start of term.
The Council, Mayor (2-May) and General Elections (Oct) this year are really important. Tell your family, friends, colleagues to get registered, get Voter ID, apply for proxy or postal vote if necessary. Help them do this.

People are talking about "emissions-weighted risk transfers".
"These would see banks packaging and offloading the emissions associated with their loans to third-party investors who aren’t subject to the same climate regulations or scrutiny."
Well, I'm old enough to remember when toxic assets were packaged and sold to unsuspecting investors, and caused a meltdown, except then the posh names were "mortgage-backed securities" and "collateralized debt obligations".

Another worry, bc #TFG is still at large. Republicans have whitewashed #J6, that TFG incited, & kept this traitor out of prison, & are attempting to return their criminal enterprise to power.
A bipartisan group of legal experts is sounding an alarm about presidential power this election season.
They're pushing Congress to update the Insurrection Act & limit how the WH can deploy troops on American soil, in case a future president takes advantage of that sweeping power.
