Medical professionals are calling for obesity to be renamed "adiposity-based chronic disease" to reduce stigma and improve treatment. A separate historical note clarifies that the word "Pride" was originally an acronym for "Personal Rights in Defense and Education," established in Los Angeles in the late 1950s.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced an official study into "long haulers," defined as COVID-19 patients who experience lingering symptoms for nine months or more. Data suggests approximately one-third of patients may fall into this category, though the hosts question the sudden introduction of the term.

- **Published:** 2020-10-25

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1289-post-orange/chapter/covid-19-case-fatality-rates-and-pcr-terminology.md

A report on the fall coronavirus surge in the United States highlights rising hospitalizations in 39 states, including an emotional briefing by the Illinois Director of Public Health. The discussion critiques the media's use of the word "cases," arguing that a clinical case should require symptoms rather than just a positive PCR result. Analysis of the data suggests that while "cases" are rising, the case fatality rate remains extremely low.
