Yesterday, Swedish TV

This is one of the silliest statements of the pandemic here in Sweden. Johan Styrud, chief physician, claims that we have such a severe flu season because Sweden has been locked down for 5 years.

Where are the follow-up questions?

Biomarkers for the win!

So stop with the psychosomatic pseudoscience!

Awesome work @buonsenso.bsky.social and team!

Tråkigt att Petter Brodin
- hjälper Svenska Dagbladet att psykologisera postcovid
- gör reklam för återinfektioner till en patientgrupp som tenderar att försämras av sådana

Sweden really sucks.
I haven’t been able to vaccinate my teenager because I cannot do a day-trip to another Region just for a vaccination.

Does COVID-19 damage the brain? - Harvard Health Most people who get COVID-19 don't suffer damage to the brain. But some do, and even people who initially get just mild COVID symptoms are vulnerable. COVID's potential to damage the brain is anoth...

Question: Does COVID-19 damage the brain?

Answer: "We now know that, unfortunately, COVID can damage the brain in many ways."

Harvard Health.

And people keep ignoring the truth hoping it will go away.

Hon lever med postcovid 150 000 svenskar lever med postcovid • Eleonor Léone: ”Orkade knappt prata med min sambo”

"Ungefär 150 000 svenskar lever med långvariga och allvarliga besvär efter att ha drabbats av covid-19, vilket gör att tillståndet kan betraktas som en folksjukdom"

CDC says H5N1 bird flu sample shows mutations that may help the virus bind to cells in the upper airways of people The CDC said Thursday that the mutations, detected in a sample taken from a Louisiana patient, may help bind the virus to the upper airways in people.

Not great.

"Long COVID is common and isn't restricted to those at high risk of severe acute disease but affects all age groups. In one study, the highest impact was in those aged 30 to 49 years."

"It should help raise awareness in the community of the importance of reducing rates of re-infection. It is not just your first infection, but each subsequent COVID infection carries a risk of long COVID."

"The notion of “long infection” as a contributor or even the driver of long COVID is a powerful message. It could help demystify the condition in the eyes of the wider community and increase awareness among the general public as well as medical professionals."

Long COVID appears to be driven by ‘long infection’. Here’s what the science says Much, if not all, long COVID appears to be driven by the virus persisting in the body. Formal proof remains elusive but here’s what the science shows.

"Our study shows that what you breathe in can cause infection in a very short time, and you don’t need to get a shower of a sneeze directly at you, a meeting in the same room is enough," says Malin Alsved.

"Aerosols are small airborne particles, and exhaled aerosols from a single person can transmit #COVID infection to others within minutes under normal indoor conditions," says Malin Alsved, lead researcher for the study, the results of which have been published in Scientific Reports.

"Research results from Lund University 🇸🇪 show that it only takes a few minutes in the same room as an infected person to get [ #SARS2 ] yourself." 🧵

Demands: 1. That respiratory protection (FFP2/FFP3/N95/N99) be made mandatory in healthcare and social care, just as hand hygiene is today, to ensure patient safety for all. 2. That schools and other public buildings be guaranteed the same high standard of air quality that politicians have already arranged for themselves with tax money. 3. That COVID-19 vaccines be made fully available to all age groups for whom the vaccines are approved. 4. Adequate care and biomedical research for Long COVID, ME/CFS, and other infection-associated chronic conditions. 5. Honest, scientifically sound public education about the risks of infection and how best to protect each other.

Photo of a page of a newspaper showing the headline “one in three say COVID-19 response overblown: poll” The article describes dozens of opinions on the overreach and overreaction of the response and mentions 50% thought it was appropriate and another 13% did not think it was overblown.

In other words, a supermajority of two thirds do not say Covid-19 response was overblown.

The role of media ladies and gentlemen.

Trumps utnämningar fruktas ge ”enorma” dödstal vid en ny pandemi Robert Kennedy Jr och många andra som Donald Trump har nominerat till sitt ”medicinska team” är skeptiska till vaccin och tonade ner riskerna med covid.

Och nu skriver DN om GBD-gänget men utan att nämna de svenska kopplingarna, fortsatt rätt underlig journalistik. Arrangören av konferensen tidigare i höstas JB lyfts dock fram men GBD nämns ej vid namn. AT lyser med sin frånvaro, och MK, JL mfl. www.dn.se/varlden/trum...

Plasma-based antigen persistence in the post-acute phase of COVID-19 Persistent symptoms among some individuals who develop COVID-19 have led to the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 might, in some form or location, persist for long periods following acute infection.1,2 Studies on SARS-CoV-2 persistence to date, however, have been limited by small and non-representative study populations, short durations since acute infection, unclear documentation of vaccination and reinfection histories, and the absence of a true negative comparator group to assess assay specificity (appendix p 2).

#MedSky #IDSky #LongCovid

“Our data provide strong evidence that #SARSCoV2, in some form or location, persists for up to 14m following acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.”

Odds of persistence 2x ⬆️ in hospitalized. Also ⬆️ in those w/ 👎 self-reported health w/ #COVID19.
