Virus Symptoms Can Last a Year-- New Study

Fri, 2021-08-27 10:32 — mike kraft

A new study found half of Covid patients had lingering symptoms one year later.

One year after becoming ill with the coronavirus, nearly half of patients in a large new study were still experiencing at least one lingering health symptom, adding to evidence that recovery from Covid-19 can be arduous and that the multifaceted condition known as “long Covid” can last for months.

The study, published Thursday in the journal The Lancet, is believed to be the largest to date in which patients were evaluated one year after being hospitalized for Covid. It involved 1,276 patients admitted to Jin Yin-tan Hospital in Wuhan, China, who were discharged between Jan. 7 and May 29, 2020.

Overview: Research on monoclonal antibodies to protect against COVID-19 variants

Wed, 2021-08-25 12:43 — mike kraft

COVID SCIENCE-Researchers seek powerful antibody against many variants; breakthrough cases may be less infectious Two separate research teams last week reported on laboratory tests of monoclonal antibodies that appear to protect against a broad range of COVID-19 virus variants. One study, published on Wednesday in The New England Journal of Medicine bit.ly/3kgzEZU, identified "high-level, broad-spectrum" antibodies in blood samples from survivors of the original SARS outbreak in 2003 who recently received the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

ANALYSIS: Why the coronavirus has changed as it has, and what it means going forward

Sat, 2021-08-21 22:05 — mike kraft

Why the coronavirus changed over time, and what it means going forward We can’t predict the next coronavirus variant. But there are some fundamental principles that explain why the virus has morphed as it has. Andrew Joseph STAT

It’s impossible to say how the coronavirus will continue to evolve. Those changes, after all, are a result of random mutations.

Study indicates that more than one-third of COVID infections are truly asymptomatic, especially among children .

Thu, 2021-08-12 18:56 — mike kraft

Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection: A systematic review and meta-analysis Asymptomatic infections have been widely reported for COVID-19. However, many studies do not distinguish between the presymptomatic stage and truly asymptomatic infections. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of COVID-19 literature reporting laboratory-confirmed infections to determine the burden of asymptomatic infections and removed index cases from our calculations to avoid conflation. By analyzing over 350 papers, we estimated that more than one-third of infections are truly asymptomatic. We found evidence of greater asymptomaticity in children compared with the elderly, and lower asymptomaticity among cases with comorbidities compared to cases with no underlying medical conditions.

Thu, 2021-08-12 10:07 — mike kraft

Here's why herd immunity from Covid is 'mythical' with the delta variant Achieving herd immunity with Covid vaccines when the highly infectious delta variant is spreading is likely to be impossible, leading experts say. Holly Ellyatt CNBC

LONDON — Achieving herd immunity with Covid vaccines when the highly infectious delta variant is spreading is “not a possibility,” a leading epidemiologist said.

The Delta Variant Isn't As Contagious As Chickenpox. But It's Still Highly Contagious

The Delta Variant Isn't As Contagious As Chickenpox. But It's Still Highly Contagious A leaked CDC document compared it to the highly contagious children's disease. Data does not support this claim. Nonetheless, the variant is one of the world's most contagious respiratory diseases. NPR.org

Describing the spread and life cycle of an anti covid-19 vaccine lie

Tue, 2021-07-20 18:07 — mike kraft

The Life Cycle Of A COVID-19 Vaccine Lie Where do myths about coronavirus vaccines come from and why do they spread? NPR takes a look at how rumors about vaccines and fertility reached the public earlier this year. NPR.org

Misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines can appear almost anywhere: from an uncle's Facebook post to a well-trusted news commentator. But where does it come from, and why do some myths spread further than others?
