Repeated #COVID-19 infections each carry their own risk of #long-COVID.
#2019-nCoV #SARS-CoV-2
> New research looks at the effects of repeated Covid infections and finds pretty much what you would expect: you not only do not get any kind of superimmunity, you increase your risk of long-term consequences, hospitalization and death. The worse news is that this holds true regardless of vaccination status.
> This is not over. Please take care. Mask up.

From 2021: composition of gut microbiome altered in #COVID-19 patients.
> The composition of the gut microbiome is altered in patients with COVID-19, with the perturbed composition correlating with disease severity
and
> obtained blood, stool, and patient records from 100 patients with laboratory-confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in a two-hospital cohort study. Up to 30 days after clearance of SARS-CoV-2, serial stool samples were collected from 27 of the 100 patients.
Published today: https://consumer.healthday.com/microbiome-2658573388.html [consumer healthday com]
> A COVID infection can reduce the number of bacterial species in the gut, creating an opportunity for dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacteria to thrive
and
> The study is the first to show that COVID alone damages the gut microbiome, researchers said. Before now, doctors had suspected that the use of antibiotics to treat COVID had been damaging gut bacteria.
Both articles stopped short of saying that #SARS-CoV-2 directly attacks certain gut bacteria. Perhaps something that the human body does in response to the infection also kills off beneficial organisms in the intestines.

@simsa04 I also saw someone post a link to a thread about a new study claiming laboratory origin for #SARS-CoV-2.

Getting daily announcements about #COVID-19 cases among employees in both the Manhattan (New York County) and Brooklyn (Kings County) offices. Hoping I don't bring an uninvited visitor (the #SARS-CoV-2 virus) home with me.
We had one guy who had some undiagnosed ailment for two days last week. He was coughing and sneezing furiously, and barely able to keep his eyes open.
The management argued furiously about whether they should send him home. They finally sent him home. The next day, he spent an hour in the men's room puking, so they argued some more before sending him home.
That's the perfect response if you want illness to spread throughout the office.

PCR result is in: #COVID-19 NOT DETECTED
I don't know how to interpret the sub-results, but the report does say that the sub-results add up to #SARS-CoV-2 not detected.

By the way, I told one of my brothers (works in public health) that I had burnt out on reading summaries of medical studies about #coronavirus and vaccines and treatments. He said he has to read some of it, but anything he can avoid reading, he avoids.

When did it become standard to refer to strains of the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus by Greek letter names? Suddenly, I started seeing Delta strain and not seeing names like B.1.1.7. What do they do when they run out of Greek letters?

#sonOne is trying to figure out what they’re going to do about school.
#GD2’s school is still giving them the option of remote learning, but #GD1’s school is not … and not enforcing masking and not upgrading the ventilation system to help remove microbes and viruses. As the younger daughter is too young to be vaccinated, he is not desirous of having the older daughter bring #COVID-19 home and infect her sister.
The disease itself is supposed to be milder with most younger patients, but there are reports of pretty serious post-COVID symptoms among under-10s.

Studying the origins of #SARS-CoV-2 and the #COVID-19 outbreak.
> The virus that caused the pandemic is known officially as SARS-CoV-2, but can be called SARS2 for short. As many people know, there are two main theories about its origin. One is that it jumped naturally from wildlife to people. The other is that the virus was under study in a lab, from which it escaped. It matters a great deal which is the case if we hope to prevent a second such occurrence.
> I’ll describe the two theories, explain why each is plausible, and then ask which provides the better explanation of the available facts. It’s important to note that so far there is no direct evidence for either theory. Each depends on a set of reasonable conjectures but so far lacks proof. So I have only clues, not conclusions, to offer. But those clues point in a specific direction. And having inferred that direction, I’m going to delineate some of the strands in this tangled skein of disaster.
