57% of people with Long COVID report experiencing cognitive symptoms every single day. Brain fog. Difficulty finding words. Trouble concentrating for sustained periods. Memory that does not work the way it used to.

These symptoms do not show up on a standard lab panel, which means people experiencing them are frequently told nothing is wrong. They are navigating a serious, documented neurological condition without a diagnosis, without accommodation, and often without being believed.

Long COVID hits hardest between ages 35 and 44. These are prime career years, and the workforce impact is already being felt.

The research exists. It is past time for the policy and employer response to catch up.

We already knew that having diabetes made COVID-19 more dangerous. But new research from Italy raises a different and equally important question: can COVID-19 actually cause diabetes?

A major study tracking nearly 250,000 adults in Milan found that people who had COVID-19 were 13% more likely to develop diabetes in the following two years compared to people who tested negative. For women between the ages of 41 and 60, the increased risk was even higher, at 31%.

The researchers used a carefully matched study design and adjusted for health conditions, socioeconomic factors, and vaccination history to make the comparison as fair as possible.

This adds to a growing body of evidence that the long-term effects of COVID-19 go well beyond the lungs and include real metabolic consequences. If you or someone you know had COVID and has since noticed changes in blood sugar or energy levels, it may be worth discussing with a doctor.

Wail of a Tale Productions partners with the Center for Independent Documentary on The Air We Share
Wail of a Tale Productions is proud to announce a fiscal sponsorship partnership with the Center for Independent Documentary (CID) for our feature documentary The Air We Share.
The Air We Share asks a question at the heart of American democracy: can a country keep its promise to its children if it cannot give them safe air in its own public schools? An estimated 5.8 million children in the United States are living with Long COVID, and the number continues to grow with each reinfection. Cleaner air in a classroom lowers that risk. A national standard already exists, yet most school buildings do not meet it, and the families and teachers inside have no way of knowing. The film makes the invisible visible, explains what is at stake, and shows that it can be fixed.
CID has supported independent documentary filmmakers for more than four decades, and its 501(c)(3) status means that gifts made through CID in support of The Air We Share are tax deductible. This partnership gives the film a trusted home for charitable giving as it moves through development and production.

The Air We Share is produced by Marty Pack, M.A., Exec MPA, Founder and Executive Director of Wail of a Tale Productions and a subject matter expert in regulatory affairs for Long COVID biorisk and biosafety.

The debate over whether mask mandates worked during COVID-19 has lingered for years. A new peer-reviewed study takes a more rigorous approach than most, and the findings are hard to dismiss.

Using a causal inference method specifically designed for policies that were adopted at different times in different places, researchers found that mask mandates reduced COVID-19 cases by roughly 87 to 93 per 100,000 people per month. That effect held up across multiple variations of the analysis.

What makes this study different from earlier work is the method. Most previous studies on masking noted correlations but could not establish causation. This one was designed to do exactly that, analyzing the data at the county level to account for real differences in how communities experienced and complied with mandates.

As we think about how to respond to future outbreaks, this kind of evidence matters. Low-cost, widely deployable interventions can make a measurable difference.
