#sarscov2 — Public Fediverse posts

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%.

Here's the latest variant picture for Australia, to late July.

NB.1.8.1.* "Nimbus" remained dominant, finishing at 56%.

JN.1.* + FliRT lineages grew steadily to finish at 22%.

#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.

Auch diesmal hatte ich in der Zahnarztpraxis wieder meine beiden Taotronics TT-AP 001 Luftreiniger mit dabei gehabt ☺️

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 🥺

#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"

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1138588

Looks like an interesting and impressive study

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!_
