Zo, vaccinatie gepland (planjeprik.nl). 21 september... Het loopt nog geen storm denk ik.
Nieuwe lokatie: bij de voetbalvereniging 🤔 Zou het een hint zijn

New Pandemic Accountability Index! https://www.panaccindex.info/p/what-covid-19-does-to-the-body-11th Some highlights:
In general,
there is still ample reason to protect yourself from repeated infections with COVID-19. This virus is still killing and disabling
Long COVID is not going away:
“…up to 3 years after initial infection…less than 2% having resolved” (Lancet Regional Health Americas)
In kids,
“…post-COVID-19 children exhibited marked post-acute impairments in school functioning, increased emotional and behavioral problems followed by heterogeneous recovery trajectories.” (Nature Scientific Reports)
and it's not all in kids' minds, it shows in their retinas:
Retinal microvascular alterations consistent with endothelial dysregulation in paediatric post-COVID-19 syndrome (Nature Scientific Reports)
Evidence keeps accumulating that kids' immune systems are not spared:
Immune-metabolic trajectories delineate subgroups in paediatric long COVID (Nature Communications)
What about in adults? Bad news for everyone with a brain:
“…SARS-CoV-2 directly infects the brain, induces neuroinflammation, pericyte death, and multiple perivascular changes in the brain.” (MDPI Viruses)
and
Persistent neurological and behavioral alterations after SARS-CoV-2 infection (Frontiers in Microbiology)
and
“…advanced COVID-19 is genetically associated with accelerated global brain aging.” (Medicine)
and
Association of Prodromal Parkinson’s Disease-Like Features in Long COVID (Journal of Sleep Research)
In particular, healthcare workers' burden is greater:
“Essential workers who developed COVID-19 have white matter dysregulation” (Brain, Behavior, & Immunity - Health)
and
“[Long COVID] symptoms persisted up to four years after aSCV2 infection in a substantial proportion of HCWs” (Infection)
then there's papers showing heart disease risks spiking due to previous COVID-19 infections. Lots of studies confirming earlier results.
What about the immune system?
“SARS-CoV-2 causes lasting immune dysregulation for over 20 months.” (International Journal of Infectious Diseases)
and
“…multiple chronic viruses reactivate during acute COVID-19” (Nature)
with an early result:
Persistent T cell phenotypic alterations and early innate immune dysregulation as potential biomarkers of Long COVID (Journal of Infection)
and the cold, heartless perspective also aligns with prevention:
“…new cases of long COVD could create a major drag on the economy amounting to USD 135 billion per annum” (OECD)
and
COVID-19 was associated with an estimated 290,000 to 450,000 hospitalizations and 34,000 to 53,000 deaths from July 2024 to June 2025 (CDC)
Compare to the 9/11 Twin Towers deaths. in 2025 alone, COVID-19 caused five to ten 9/11s of deaths!

#SarsCoV2 Hoogleraar Machteld Vonk van de Radboud Universiteit (Nijmegen) merkt in een Linkedin-post op dat het hebben van #LongCovid noch het risico om het te krijgen na een Covidinfectie, geen overweging is bij de beschikbaarstelling van het Covid-vaccin. Dit jaar krijgt uitsluitend de groep 70+ nog het vaccin aangeboden. Weliswaar loopt die groep een duidelijk hoger risico op een ziekenhuisopname na een Covidinfectie, maar de 5-25% mensen die na een Covidinfectie langdurige klachten houden is veel minder afhankelijk van leeftijd. Nog steeds kijkt de Gezondheidsraad uitsluitend naar het risico op ziekenhuisopname na een acute infectie, zoals alle jaren in de pandemie bij het nemen van maatregelen het risico op Long Covid steeds genegeerd is. En bij de Parlementaire Enquête Corona wordt het wéér genegeerd.

Se on #pandemiaPerjantai, mutta ei uusia #SARS-CoV2 #jätevesi tuloksia Suomesta eikä Ruotsista, Hollannin seuranta näyttää, että epidemiaa ei vieläkään näköpiirissä, vaikka perustaso ehkä hieman jo koholla keskikesän notkosta. www.rivm.nl/en/coronavir...

Two indigenous groups had low rates of death to acute COVID-19, with less virus reaching their lungs - and presumably less reaching other organs.
Did the researchers look at life patterns, since the number of virus particles in an exposure ("inoculum") correlates with severity?
No. Of course not.
These folks have well ventilated homes and spend a lot of time outdoors. The relationship between inoculum and severity alone should be examined when considering why their antibody levels were higher than urban dwellers:
Indigenous groups living in peri-urban or urban areas do not seem to be protected in the same way
is pretty suggestive!
Blood tests showed that levels of COVID-specific antibodies were more than double those measured in a French cohort during the same COVID wave
Noteworthy that a high rate of parasites reduces the likelihood of a severe cytokine storm but reduced cytokine activity, to my understanding, would be the difference between moderate SARS2 and severe, life-risking SARS2 once SARS2 spreads within the body - and wouldn't prevent SARS2 from reaching the lungs and other organs:
The Tsimane and Moseten have about a 70% prevalence of infection with helminths (Blackwell et al., 2016), and a previous study among the Tsimane found reduced cytokine response to viral antigen stimulation in patients with parasites
Anyways, one thing they DID do was to check for antibodies to "common cold coronaviruses" (CCC):
Serological testing of a pre-pandemic subset (N = 43) revealed high apparent prevalence for all Common Cold Coronaviruses (83.7% for NL63, 100% for OC43, 88.4% for HKU1, and 44.2% for 229E). No humoral cross-reactivity with SARS-CoV-2 antigens was detected across the four assays employed, suggesting that prior exposure to endemic coronaviruses did not generate detectable cross-reactive antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in pre-pandemic samples

Here's the latest variant picture for New Zealand, to early August.
NB.1.8.1 "Nimbus" lineages rebounded to dominance, finishing at 62%.
JN.1.* + FliRT lineages grew strongly in late July to finish at 43%.

#SarsCoV2 Er is weer sprake van een licht stijgende tendens van het besmettingsrisico voor Covid19, op basis van de rioolwatermetingen. Het geschatte aantal infecties in week 32 was gemiddeld 1835 per dag. Dat is wel een laag risico maar niet meer gering zoals vorige week. In week 31 meldde 0,03% van de deelnemers aan RIVM infectieradar een Covid19-infectie.

Gibt es mittlerweile antivirale Mittel für Mund/Nase/Rachen mit halbwegs vernünftigen wissenschaftlichen Nachweisen?
Mein Herzensmensch hat zumindest derzeit keinen Bock auf Coronatests. Ich weiß grad nicht, wie ich damit umgehen soll 🥺
