Wow, I have somehow caught a nasty virus that started as a sore throat. Today I tested negative for #covid, #flu a and flu b, RSV, and even strep.

I've been out of work due to this. Had to use scissors to open stomach medicine to keep Gatorade down.

I'm not looking for pity, I just thought I'd say something because my doctor said there is an unknown #virus going around. I barely have the strength right now to get to the bathroom, and back to bed.

Just a reminder to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer if you cannot wash. You don't want this. I honestly thought it was covid. It's pretty bad.

🦠'Zombie' Coronavirus Fragments not only help drive Inflammation in long-COVID, but also destroy our Immune Cells.

A recent study by an international team of more than 30 authors reveals how the destruction of the virus within our body leaves dangerous protein fragments that target specific immune cells, which may explain some of the debilitating consequences millions of people with long-COVID now face.

⁉️"These fragments target a specific kind of curvature on the membranes of cells," explains bioengineer Gerard Wong from the University of California, Los Angeles. "Cells that are spiky, that are star-shaped, or that have lots of tentacles end up getting preferentially suppressed."⁉️

WhatsApp per Windows sfruttato per distribuire backdoor
I ricercatori di Microsoft hanno individuato l’ennesima campagna malware che prende di mira WhatsApp. Stavolta però viene sfruttata una funzionalità della versione Windows, non una vulnerabilità dei client Android o iOS. Lo scopo dei cybercriminali è ottenere la persistenza, ovvero l’accesso remoto al dispositivo tramite backdoor.
