I did a blog post to publish some links to articles and resources about COVID-19 from the last month or so. It's not over yet folks. Keep wearing those masks.

CIDRAP questions validity of BMJ study which downplays Long Covid.
Talked to a colleague today who is #immunocompromised after a #HeartTransplant. They've been having inexplicable fatigue and muscle/joint pain for 6-8 weeks that gets worse with exercise instead of better. They were #COVIDPositive 12 weeks ago.
I mentioned #LongCOVID & they had not heard of it.
Three years into the pandemic, the recipient of an organ transplant - w/ multiple medical teams in multiple states - was unaware that COVID could cause long-term disability. No one told her.
@[email protected] Now that effective treatment is available for early stroke and MI delay is a recipe for more long term severe disability, which will incur huge health and social care costs for years. The cost of failure yet again, the recurring tale of the last two decades.

“@ShaunLintern Now that effective treatment is available for early stroke and MI delay is a recipe for more long term severe disability, which will incur huge health and social care costs for years. The cost of failure yet again, the recurring tale of the last two decades.”
2.29 million patients attended A&E last month with more than 50,000 people waiting 12 hours to be admitted (true 12hr+ waits will be well north of this). And this is what we know kills people.

Assess presence, durability, and neutralization capacity of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies in breastfeeding infants’ stool, mother’s plasma and milk following maternal vaccination. Thirty-seven mothers and 25 infants were enrolled between December 2020 and November 2021 for this prospective observational study. All mothers were vaccinated during lactation except three, which were vaccinated during pregnancy. Milk, maternal plasma, and infants’ stool was collected pre-vaccination and at periods up to 6 months following COVID-19 vaccine series initiation/completion. SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels and their neutralization capacities were assessed. SARS-CoV-2-specific IgA and IgG levels were higher in infant stool post-maternal vaccination amongst milk-fed compared to controls. Maternal SARS-CoV-2-specific IgA and IgG concentrations decreased over 6 months post-vaccination but remained higher than pre-vaccination levels. We observed improved neutralization capacity in milk and plasma after COVID-19 vaccination. The presence of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies in infant stool following maternal vaccination offers further evidence of the lasting transfer of these antibodies through breastfeeding.
@novid Clean water stops cholera. Clean air stops Covid.
