COVID Update and Unravelling Long COVID
presented by
Dr. Marc Dichter, Professor of Neurology University of Pennsylvania
COVID has not gone away. Marc will update us on the current best practices for dealing with this virus and dealing with Long COVID.
Weeks or months after recovering from a Covid-19 illness, between 7% and 20% of people develop new disabling symptoms which have been called "Long Covid" or "the Long Haulers' Syndrome." The symptoms may consist of excessive fatigue, mild to moderate cognitive symptoms ("brain fog"), a sense of difficulty breathing, heart palpitations, sleep problems, unexplained pain, depression, anxiety, and a number of other feelings of not being well. Often extensive medical tests appear normal, but the symptoms may be very disabling, interfering with work, school, and one's general lifestyle. The cause for all these problems remains unknown. Doctors and patients are often very confused and frustrated because there has been no effective treatment nor a clear explanation of what is causing the illness.
Dr. Marc Dichter, Professor of Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania, , has recently co-authored a book entitled "Unravelling Long Covid" that represents more than 2 years of their research into this new syndrome. Dr. Dichter will present the most recent findings about this very troubling illness and current research into its origins and possible future treatment strategies.

999: The Forgotten Girls of the Holocaust
Southwest FL Premier (trailer)
999: The Forgotten Girls of the Holocaust reveals the story of 999 young, unmarried Jewish women who, in 1942, were registered by Slovakian authorities for work opportunities in a purported shoe factory. They naively dressed up in their finest clothes for what they thought was a three-month stint and set off with neighbors and classmates for an adventure. In fact, the train they boarded was headed to Auschwitz. Incredibly, a few survived into older age and share their tale in 999.
Most of the girls were murdered, but a small group survived three and a half grueling years in the camps. The film focuses on the few that were still alive when the film was made in 2023. Their stories of survival are uplifting and inspiring.

Keewaydin
Island Adventure
We travel by boat to Keewaydin Island – a beautiful barrier island between Naples and Marco Island – accessible only by boat. There you will be able to take that long romantic walk on the beach that you’ve dreamed about; lounge in the sun; play beach games; or even bring your fishing gear. Or, you can simply relax under a beach umbrella with a refreshing beverage and watch the waves. Our route takes us past the inlets of Port Royal, which could be a side trip if desired.
We get to Keewaydin Island by rental boats and private boats. In prior years, several dozen MCA members and spouses participated, so this is a real beachapalooza! It’s a terrific outing! Boating experience is not required... nor is beach experience.
For those who do not have access to a private boat, we rent 12 person pontoon boats at the Naples Marina at Bayfront (Goodlette and 41). The cost of the rental boats is $50/person. Boat rental fees are refundable only up to March 29th, or on April 7th due to inclement weather. If you have no boating experience, we have enough MCA members with boat captain experience, so you can just relax as a passenger and enjoy the trip.
Please note: We will be monitoring Red Tide and we may need to cancel if levels are high in the area on the day of the trip.
For more information, contact Bob Blank
