World Stroke Day, 10/29:
Viral infections — including COVID-19 — are now linked to higher and earlier stroke risk, even in younger adults. Long COVID can trigger ongoing heart inflammation that raises long-term cardiac danger.

Prevention starts now! Stay vaccinated, reduce reinfections, and get checked if you have chest pain, fatigue, brain fog, or shortness of breath.

This week’s Watch is about memory, care, and future-building.
From the sacred traditions of Día de los Mu***os and the Celtic roots of Halloween, to the real stakes of early mammograms, Long COVID in kids, and what it takes to truly support trans youth — we’re looking at how honoring the past shapes how we show up now.

Because remembrance isn’t passive — it’s a call to protect, advocate, and give forward. 🕯️💛
