#CovidIsNotOver
datum (n=1)I have been worrying about this for days but don't have the spoons to dig in:
BA.3.2 lost its ability to bind tightly to ACE-2 receptors on cells [1]
Remember that Long COVID rates were much higher during Delta? Remember that Delta was much more prone to syncytia (not needing ACE2 at all) in part because it had reduced ACE-2 affinity?
syncytia formation via the highly fusogenic Delta spike promotes cellular senescence and extracellular cytokine release [2]
and I know I read (skimmed) a paper suggesting that this method of direct contact cell-cell transmission was driving Long COVID - aha here:
We propose the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 transitions to persistent infection, facilitated by syncytia formation [3]

“I also use an infrared sauna for my autoimmune condition. I get really stiff joints. I’m so much better after the long Covid, but I feel different, physiologically." https://archive.md/VKZgk#selection-1883.0-1883.165
who wants to be the one to tell her about the association between new onset autoimmune disorders and connective tissue disorders and SARS-CoV-2 infections?
Not calling those aspects "Long COVID" is disingenuous.
JWeiland is still on birdsite but if you are keeping informed about COVID, and especially if you have kids, this seems pertinent right now:

A reminder that it is a deep injustice to force people of any age into contagious situations.
That applies to prisons, and it applies to schools.

Maggie MaybeThe publication Mother Jones is doing a story on mask bans and this journalist is looking to talk to people:
“Covid cautious reporter working on a mask ban story
Hi! My name is Julia Métraux. For an audio story, I'm looking to find Covid cautious folks who fit the following categories to interview:
Anyone who has been harassed while wearing a mask in North Carolina or Nassau County in New York after the mask bans there.
Anyone who has been detained or arrested for wearing a mask at a protest
My email is jmetraux at motherjones.com, please reach out if you fit #1 or #2.
Stories of mine just to show I'm not a bad faith opp:
