The Hidden Lung Trauma: What COVID Means for Our Children's Future
Send us a text
We've been telling ourselves a comfortable lie. The pandemic is over, they say. Kids bounce back. They're resilient. Except science is telling us a different story—one of microscopic damage, silent inflammation, and potential long-term consequences that we're only beginning to understand.
A recent pediatric imaging study has blown the lid off our collective denial. It's not just about whether children survive COVID-19. It's about how the virus might be rewriting their biological blueprints, one cellular pathway at a time.
Imagine your child's lungs as a delicate ecosystem. Now imagine that ecosystem experiencing a silent environmental catastrophe—not loud enough to trigger immediate alarms, but profound enough to shift future landscapes.
The research is clinical, but the implications are deeply personal. Fifty-four children, ages 9 to 17, scanned with a specialized MRI technique. Half with post-COVID conditions, half healthy. The results? A medical horror story told in shades of gray and dim light. ... continue reading

This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy
Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter. Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.
Thanks for listening today!
Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.
We hope you continue exploring our other podcasts, responding to the content, and checking out our related articles on the Heliox Podcast on Substack.

Spoken word, short and sweet, with rhythm and a catchy beat.

Curated, independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, evidenced-based, clinical & community information regarding COVID-19. Since 2017, it has focused on Covid since Feb 2020, with Multiple Stores per day, hence a large searchable base of stories to date. More than 4000 stories on COVID-19 alone. Hundreds of stories on Climate Change.
Zoomers of the Sunshine Coast is a news organization with the advantages of deeply rooted connections within our local community, combined with a provincial, national and global following and exposure. In written form, audio, and video, we provide evidence-based and referenced stories interspersed with curated commentary, satire and humour. We reference where our stories come from and who wrote, published, and even inspired them. Using a social media platform means we have a much higher degree of interaction with our readers than conventional media and provides a significant amplification effect, positively. We expect the same courtesy of other media referencing our stories.
