#SarsCoV2 Het aantal aanmeldingen bij C-Support van mensen die lijden aan #LongCovid is de laatste maanden weer opgelopen: van oktober 2025 t/m januari 2026 lag het rond de 120 aanmeldingen per maand, terwijl in februari, maart, april die aantallen op 155, 200, 180 en 135 per maand lagen. Veel LongCOVID-patiënten proberen alsnog steun te krijgen van C-Support sinds het besluit van het kabinet om C-Support op te heffen na 2026.

News Release 5-Aug-2026
"Severe COVID-19 reactivates dormant viruses, study finds""Better understanding of how these activated viruses contribute to COVID-related outcomes could help physicians better predict potential complications & improve treatment for patients with severe COVID infection"

How very remarkable that COVID-19 [sic: formatting] is why
'we are experiencing high demand',
while also
justifying no health restrictions anywhere because
'the pandemic is over' [sic].So remarkable, in fact, that _upon it, I'm right now remarking!_

#SarsCoV2 Het besmettingsrisico voor Covid19, op basis van de rioolwatermetingen, is nog steeds gering. De stijgende tendens sinds begin juni is nu enigszins afgevlakt. Toch lijkt een nieuwe coronagolf ingezet, al zal die vooralsnog niet erg heftig zijn. Het geschatte aantal infecties in NL was in week 30 gemiddeld 958 per dag. In die week 30 meldde 0,03% van de deelnemers aan RIVM infectieradar een Covid19-infectie.

Important for viewers of the recent #Fauci hearings...
"#COVID ’s #Origins: what we do and don’t know"
Main points...
"Hypothesis one: animals infected with SARS-CoV-2 passed the virus to humans
Most of the peer-reviewed scientific evidence supports this hypothesis.""Hypothesis two: SARS-CoV-2 was introduced into China’s animal markets from overseas through imported goods. In April last year, the Chinese government endorsed this route as the most likely source of SARS-CoV-2. But almost six years on from the start of the pandemic, we conclude that the available scientific evidence does not support this hypothesis."
"Hypothesis three: SARS-CoV-2 originated from an accidental lab-related event. Much of the information needed to assess this hypothesis has not been made available to the WHO or SAGO."
"Hypothesis four: SARS-CoV-2 originated from the deliberate manipulation of a virus in a lab. We did not find evidence to suggest that SARS-CoV-2 resulting from experimental manipulation was a more likely scenario than it emerging from naturally occurring mutations or recombination events."
Bottom Line: "Overall, perhaps the most important message to emerge from SAGO’s first term is that only rigorous scientific research, not conjecture or political opinion, will help to solve the mystery of where a virus estimated to have killed more than 20 million people by the end of 2022, and which cost the global economy up to $16 trillion, came from. If the world truly wants answers, it must deliver the information and data that make rigorous scientific research possible."
In other words... it is IMPOSSIBLE to say with certainty where/when #COIVD started. IMO, anyone who speaks with certainty is uninformed (most of us) or lying (#GOP #senators) at the hearing.

Agree. And I would add (IMO)...
The origin of #SARSCoV2 (#COVID), 1) wild caught, #wetmarket vs 2) #labaccident vs 3) some yet to be discovered mechanism -- is #unknowable.
Most of the non-genetic evidence is in #China and withheld by the Chinese government. Even with such evidence we might not ever know for sure.
Good faith researchers can disagree on this and that's okay.
#GOP senators are not speaking or acting in good faith.

@tomjennings In summary for you:
- A positive is a true positive, from any test.
- A negative result from an expired test is uninformative both because reagents degrade, and old RATs are insensitive to Omicron variants
- unexpired rapid tests will give false negatives in 40-80% of positive cases, so a negative on a fresh test should be taken as a very weak signal that an infection isn't SARS-CoV-2
- test using a cheek and nose swab, and not the way-up-there nasopharyngeal swabbing which is less comfortable and has a higher false negative rate

RE: https://mastodon.scot/@kim_harding/116998708841301587
@kim_harding hmm, to me this informs the scenario where HEPA filters are spot-placed but not facility-wide, and suggests only that spot cleaning may be ineffective.
And some risk did seem to shift, approximately halving the days on antibiotics, the days with fever, and they days with acute deterioration:
There was evidence of a reduction in the number of symptomatic days with fever and/or delirium and/or acute deterioration in physical ability (aIRR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.26-0.90, P = .02) and number of days antibiotics were taken (aIRR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.37-0.87; P = .01) in intervention communal room residents
and - surprising to me - it was underpowered for measuring healthcare worker impact, with a 20% decrease in sick days not being statistically significant:
in the number of staff working days lost to illness or infections (aIRR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.55-1.16; P = .24
although they tout high compliance, they weren't actually checking robustly:
there was low intervention adherence. However, staff reported that the HEPA filters were usually switched on and were correctly located. We considered and decided against conducting monitoring visits to check intervention compliance
and I would point out that other work found a majority of filters were disabled on spot checks, so that lack of compliance checking, and relying on reports from people who know the filters should have been running, is troublesome.
The filters were lacking at the speed they were set to:
there were also insufficient CADRs
And finally, what I think is the most serious issue with the design and which they don't discuss: by only running HEPAs in some communal rooms (not all, no hallways, etc) and some bedrooms in each intervention facility, it may be the case that once an airborne disease infects enough people in a facility, spot air cleaning is ineffective. In the extreme imagine a facility with 100 residents, 1 with a HEPA in their room, and a HEPA in the dining and TV rooms. Is that 1 person going to have a meaningfully reduced risk, when an airborne disease sweeps through? Of course not; every hallway walk where they pass coughing people easily dominates the risk, and any reduction in the common room and bedroom is irrelevant.
