This would be a travesty in the midst of a widespread outbreak of high path avian flu across the country. We’re flying blindly now as it is, it would be a total solar eclipse if @CDCDirector allows @CDCgov @CDCFlu to halt this reporting now. @WhiteHouse @SecBecerra please don’t…

PMC COVID-19 Forecast, April 22, 2024 (U.S.) In the current "lull" of U.S. COVID-19 transmission, we are seeing an estimated 391,000 new infections per day, with 1 in 122 people actively infectious. In a group of 30, that's about a 1 in 5 chance someone is infectious.

COVID’S EFFECT ON THE IMMUNE SYSTEM 🔥 This is an excellent series of graphics from @YaleSPH explaining what we do (and don’t) know about Covid’s effect on the immune system. Much of this is informed by the work of Dr. Akiko Iwasaki (@VirusesImmunity). 🧵 H/t @fitterhappierAJ

It's out! The @WHO's new wordsmithing report on airborne transmission. I'm going to do a little dissection on the good and the bad, who wins and who loses. 1/ cdn.who.int/media/docs/def…

Today, a post about viral persistence, antivirals and how it plays into the complexity of #LongCOVID and other post-acute infection syndromes (PAIS). If you've been following me for a while, you probably know that I've been saying for a few years now that LC is a complex 1/

PMC COVID-19 Forecast, Week of April 15, 2024 (U.S.) 🔹COVID-19 transmission is estimated to be its lowest level in 9 months (since July 16, 2023) 🔹1 in 123 people actively infectious 🔹390,000 infections/day (still high) 🔹Anticipated that the low point has passed or will…

To the public: All of this underscores the need to continue to take precautions (#GetBoosted 💉& #WearAMask indoors) because if you get #COVID19, that virus may live & wreak havoc in you for a long time. And, as of today, we don’t know how to rid you of it. #MedTwitter

The NIH director has conceded that SARS2 persists. With 1 in 200 remaining infectious via nasopharyngeal swab for at least two months, and 3 in 5 harboring superantigenic cranial reservoirs two years after infection, it's probably time we ask: does anyone clear SARS2?

Long COVID more common after reinfection. This specifically applies to Omicron. Although individually less severe at the outset, the large number of reinfections amounts to significant subsequent Long COVID burden in the population. idsociety.org/covid-19-real-… via @IDSAInfo

It should be obvious, but I guess is worth keep repeating. We need to stop creating new #Covid cases. Period. Any new case is a burden because science is behind of what's going on here. Brain damage associated with post-viral illness should be a rare event. It is just not…

The “hygiene hypothesis” is the misnomer that just won’t die. We don’t need to get sick to be well. A better name is the “biodiversity hypothesis” since the rise in allergic/immune diseases is thought to be related to the loss of contact with biodiverse environments (nature!).

1/Covid is a cold? This 47 year old went into cardiac arrest 2 days after feeling generally unwell. Covid destroyed his heart. Not the virus invading it,no. It made this patients OWN platelets clump together&block micro vessels. Platelets hyper activated& destroyed his heart

Why are so many of super concerned about H5N1 (avian flu)? Quick thread for the lay person.... 1) H5N1 is not the typical seasonal flu. It lives mostly in birds (hence "avian") (Thread: (1/10])
