There's an excellent new summary by @erictopol of research about how Covid affects the brain:
➡️ https://erictopol.substack.com/p/the-brain-and-long-covid
Highly recommend you read and give them a follow.
Briefly, there is concern about the long term effect of Covid on the brain, even in people who have mild symptoms or are asymptomatic. It urgently needs further study to find out what we are dealing with.

2023 has been the worst #pandemic year for me so far.
Ever since masks have disappeared from health care settings, it has been a stressful process of planning what care can be given up on and cancelled.
I'm afraid of losing access to my medicine because I refuse maskless tests and because my doctors will treat me more and more like a hypochondriac for masking.
I worry about having to go to the hospital again someday.
I'm so stressed out all the time.

Sad reminder from fb memories. Two years ago, I thought I could retire my masks, except maybe for planes. Then I got N95s when Delta came. Now, two years after joyfully planning to "retire" my masks I am thinking they are forever for me. Maybe some day I can go back to those 85% Atoms masks?

2 new studies: Persistent neuro-inflammation from even mild #SARSCoV2 infections
All of the participants of this study were unvaccinated (#COVID vaccines no potential confounder impact)
"The persistence of neuro-inflammation at 1 year after even mild Covid should highlight this dangling concern and bolster our efforts to avoid infections and reinfections of this virus, along with definitive work to find safe and effective treatments."
“Two new studies illuminate the mechanisms for inflammation of brain tissue which is persistent and occurs even in patients with a mild #Covid19 illness. Importantly, these were studies of people with Covid, not specifically individuals who were suffering from Long Covid.”

I am a #Customerexperience advisor and researcher. Today, I posted on LinkedIn about how #COVID19 and #CX are related for healthcare providers. I understand that CX teams at hospitals likely don't think or feel masking policies fall into their purview, but given the risks to patients of nosocomial infections, I believe they should. What's more important to patient satisfaction and loyalty than whether healthcare workers help or hinder their recovery?
Healthcare workers in hospitals should #WearAMask. I don't understand why this is even up for debate!
New study comparing hospital acquired #COVID19 (nosocomial, NC) versus community-acquired, CAC). “NC was associated with a higher case fatality rate (39.1% vs. 19.2%) in all age groups. 30-day in-hospital mortality was significantly higher among NC patients (2.07x higher).” Also, 40% higher rate of acute heart failure, 73% higher sepsis and 35% higher readmission.

Wir sind es gewohnt, dass Querdenker und Antivaxxer mit aus der Luft gegriffenen Daten Angst verbreiten. Selten geschieht leider Ähnliches von "der anderen Seite", von Leuten, die vor #COVID19 warnen. "Airborne Aids" ist mir in schlechter Erinnerung.
Drüben beim Vogel macht gerade ein Thread über eine angebliche Verbindung von #COVID19 und #Prionen-Krankheiten die Runde, die zu tödlich verlaufenden neurodegenerativen Veränderungen führen. Diese Verbindung ist bestenfalls Folge einer falschen Überlegungen durch einen gutmeinenden Laien.
Die Neurowissenschafterin Janna Moen erklärt im Blog, warum die Verbindung von #COVID19 und Prionen falsch ist, warum es aber doch genug Gründe gibt, das was SARSCoV2 mit dem Gehirn machen kann, ernst zu nehmen.

Here's the latest variant picture for New South Wales.
XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (28%) has closed the gap with XBB.1.9.* "Hyperion" (30%) as they battle for dominance.
XBB.1.5.* "Kraken" (20%) has been declining steadily, but is still significant.
The vigorous mix of very different variants poses a raised immediate re-infection risk for anyone relying on natural immunity from a recent infection.
The sample volumes seem somewhat representative up to May 16, although the volume appears to be declining, unfortunately.

Here's the latest variant picture for the Northern Territory, Australia.
After a gap of over a year, a couple of samples were recently shared from the NT.
The 2 samples are variants that are common elsewhere in Australia - XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" and XBB.1.5.* "Kraken".
I've been banging on about this for over a year now, so it's great to see data sharing restart. Hopefully that can continue so we get a more accurate picture of the unique mix in this remote area with international air and sea ports.

As of March, for every three covid deaths, the U.S. saw another excess death not attributed to covid.

According to blood sample testing via the #Ontario #Health #Study, I was infected with #COVID19 sometime in early July 2022, and I didn’t even know it as I had no symptoms. This happened despite being fully vaccinated, limited contact, wearing an N95 mask, etc. Since then I’ve had so-called long #COVID symptoms especially #brain fog and other cognitive issues.
This article on the matter of COVID brain damage is informative and a bit worrisome.

Here's a cheery article from the brilliant Peter J. Hotez, M.D., Ph.D, Professor of Pediatrics and Molecular Virology and Microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine:
“#COVID19, with all its waves and variants, won’t be our last major coronavirus pandemic. Another is probably on its way. We are entering a reality in which catastrophic pandemics could become our new normal. We should expect yet another major and entirely new coronavirus pandemic to strike us before 2030.”
https://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outlook/article/hotez-covid-pandemic-coronavirus-18121832.php
“While society yawns, impatient to move on from the COVID-19 pandemic, Americans still play disability roulette. About 1 in 10 of the 110,000 people who catch COVID this week in the United States… No longer a mass death event, #COVID19 is an ongoing mass disability event. Every seven days, 25,000 more people join the 10 million in our country suffering memory loss, heart problems, dizziness, extreme fatigue, and more owing to the virus.”
Yesterday, my wife and I went out and ate/drank at four places. Two were outside, and two were inside in empty spots with fewer than six other people in the place. We didn't go out in the evening to avoid the crowds, but did so in the afternoon. Then, we climbed on a light-rail train home, the only people masked on the entire train. Our risks weren't 0%, but we had a great afternoon out with a high degree of safety. One can socialize with managed, lower risk, if they care to do so. #COVID19
Maybe it won't happen, but I imagine that in two or three decades, as today's kids suffer from diminished health due to repeated #COVID19 infections, some are going to wonder why their parents worked safely from home while they were pushed back into unventilated classrooms.
Study finds the greatest reinfection risk, aside from LT-care facility residents, is kids 5-17, who have 2x the reinfection risk as 40-59yos.
#COVID19
made me “stupid”. Since I had it last November, my brain doesn’t work as well. I don’t have other #longCOVID symptoms. And I didn’t realize what was going on until I did realize it. I’m writing this because if you had COVID you might be experiencing the same thing.
The first thing that happened was that I rode my bike into a hedge. Immediately after thinking “don’t ride into the hedge”.
Since then I forget more than I used to, and I often swap words when I speak and write.

Things that aren’t helpful: Ending free testing, discouraging masking, reducing reporting and saying “it’s over” when it’s clearly not.
Given evidence linking covid infection to sudden onset liver damage, recent increased liver disease mortality is hardly surprising.
Elevated accidental deaths, however, are less open to presumptive explanation. Our world has changed and with it our expectations.

Here's an update on my metric for Australia and it's states and territories:
"Days since Health Leadership faced the public on COVID".
I'm tracking the last date that CMOs/CHOs etc in each jurisdiction last held a press conference or similar and took questions from the media on COVID.
NSW was the only jurisdiction to have an event of that type in the last week.
The ongoing, fairly regular events like this in some jurisdiction serve to highlight even more those that are not stepping up. Why do only residents of NSW deserve clear and urgent communication from their health leadership?

Did you get the #COVID19 booster? If not:
“A new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that most adults who haven’t received an updated COVID-19 booster shot have 'relatively little remaining protection' against hospitalization compared to the unvaccinated.”
Just 17% of Americans have received the COVID booster. Almost 75% of people in the US haven't received a jab in over 12 months. Protection is fading and COVID is mutating. Be safe!

"COVID kills 1 person every 4 minutes as vaccine rates fall"
After more than 3 years, the global COVID emergency is officially over. Yet it’s still killing at least 1 person every 4 minutes and questions on how to deal with the virus remain unanswered, putting vulnerable people and under-vaccinated countries at risk.
“Even if governments are tired, we have to face the reality that the virus is still evolving,” Linfa Wang, a virologist and director of the emerging infectious diseases program at Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore.
