Nieuwe studie in The Lancet: Covid-19 is niet "zoals griep".
Covid-19 heeft een 3-4x hogere sterftelast dan influenza A.
Na mei 2023 is Covid-19 nog steeds verantwoordelijk voor 9,8% van alle sterfgevallen.

New paper out in Lancet Regional Health Americas, with Alicia Grima, Natalie Wilson, Simran Mann, Ashleigh Tuite and Clara Lee. How many Ontario deaths are attributable to respiratory viruses, and how does SARS-CoV-2 compare to flu? 🧵 doi.org/10.1016/j.lana.2026.…

Cognitive impairment after COVID is still there five years out - memory, attention, focus, slower processing, orientation, decision making. Severe COVID clearly raises dementia risk too.
The largest, longest study on this so far. 18M adults in England, up to 5.5 years of follow-up. 🧵

No había visto este vídeo de Oscar Puente. Es de cuando el COVID, cuando era alcalde de Valladolid.
Escúchenlo. Es un minuto.
Pero esclarece quién es y quién se cree que es Oscar Puente.

Officials Warn Ebola Could Spread Like COVID as Cases Surpass 10K: ‘We Want All Countries to Know That They Are Not Safe’

Mañana, millones de niños y adultos festejarán Halloween disfrazados de cadáveres sangrantes. La muerte (ajena, claro) convertida en fiesta. Confieso que, en días como los que se viven en España, siento la tentación de imaginarlos pasando, de golpe, de la fiesta a la realidad.

A University of Osaka study of 1.5 million people found COVID-19 nearly doubled the risk of autoimmune rheumatic diseases requiring treatment.
Related hospitalizations were nearly 19 times higher.

En Alemania, cada vez un número mayor de personas, están optando por el suicidio para no tener que vivir con el síndrome de fatiga crónica.
Es muy duro haber tenido una vida plena y ...pasarte el resto de tus días en cama, cuando el sistema no quiere hacer nada por tí pudiendo.
Muchas de estas fatigas son de origen viral, pero la medicina se niega a aceptarlo, habiendo bibliografía y estudios e investigar qué tipo de virus o microorganismos están provocando la enfermedad.
La medicina Europea está totalmente obstoleta y no está mirando hacia el paciente. La medicina, es una especialidad de Farmacia.
TW: Assisted suicide
“She did not want to die. She wanted to live. Just not like this.”
Report on the devastating impact of severe #MECFS and how more and more people with severe ME are choosing assisted suicide in Germany.

This is a very interesting study from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. It suggests that SARS-CoV-2 may be evolving in a way that makes it increasingly difficult for the human immune system to recognize the virus in the first place—not simply harder for existing antibodies to neutralize it.
So now one has to wonder whether if fewer naïve human B cells can recognize an evolved virus, will the vaccines even work? Will they have a difficult time recruiting genuinely new B-cell specificities?
Doesn't this seem like an issue worth considering @FDADrugs @FDA @CDC @NIHDirector_Jay?

Obviously covid infections don't affect you the same way each time.
We've known that for six years, right from the very earliest infections.
Different short term impacts, different long term impacts.
A friend of mine has just been hospitalised by his *sixth* infection.
😥

Ebola’s spread to Nigeria and Kenya is a disaster.
Any local community spread in these populous countries will herald travel restrictions, first regionally, then globally.
BDBV is a slow motion train wreck.
It will jump more borders.
It could shut down travel from large parts of Africa.
There will be imported cases in the developed world.

Chinese scientists have found that hypoxia and inflammation induced by COVID-19 infection can trigger angiogenesis and accelerate lung tumor growth.

🔴 Muere en Francia un hombre infectado por el virus Shamonda, en el primer caso conocido en un ser humano. Afecta principalmente a animales de granja y ha sido detectado desde el verano en varios países europeos, entre ellos España elpais.com/sociedad/2026-10-…

🚨🇫🇷 BREAKING:
France has confirmed the world’s FIRST known human infection with the Shamonda virus...
The patient has died.
It was previously believed to only affect animals.
First identified in Nigeria in the 1960s, it spreads through tiny biting insects called midges and has been circulating among European livestock throughout 2026.
Now it has jumped to a human for the first time in recorded history...
French authorities say there is currently no evidence of widespread human transmission and no identified risk to the general population.
For now.

Happy 4-year anniversary to this study.
This applies to everyone who gets Covid.

FYI, "It is estimated that at least 400 million individuals worldwide currently suffer from long COVID.
Common symptoms [of long COVID] include chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, brain fog or exercise-intolerance..
[Furthermore,] acute infections can contribute to the development of new chronic diseases, including cancer..
Large cohort studies have shown increased post-acute risks of chronic conditions including new onset of diabetes and autoimmunity development after SARS-CoV-2 infection..
elevated cardiovascular risk can persist for months..
even acute, non-persistent infections can influence cancer biology..
For instance, prior severe respiratory viral infection with SARS-CoV-2 or influenza was linked to accelerated lung cancer growth in mouse models and increased subsequent lung cancer risk among patients hospitalized for COVID-19.."
We need clean air to stay healthy.
