"Remarkably, IgG transfer from the two subgroups, which are characterized by higher plasma levels of neuronal proteins and leukocyte activation markers, induced pronounced and persistent sensory hypersensitivity with distinct kinetics. Conversely, IgG transfer from the third subgroup, which are characterized by enriched skeletal and cardiac muscle proteome profiles, reduced locomotor activity in mice without affecting their motor coordination"

“North Carolina Shelves Controversial Mask Ban Bill Amid Public Outcry”
“North Carolina's House Bill 237, which aimed to criminalize wearing masks in public, has been temporarily shelved due to widespread online protests and petitions.”
I dunno if anyone will not have heard, but the fancy Cue Health NAAT molecular #Covid test, with the handheld gizmo, has been revealed to be a near-fraud. The FDA found that the company implemented non-approved changes to reagent formulations and device firmware post-EUA that will have significantly reduced the test’s accuracy.
In response to the FDA’s letter, the company elected to go out of business.
"Interestingly, several symptoms characterizing Long-COVID19 mirror the Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome [POTS] that represents the most common form of dysautonomia causing orthostatic intolerance …
The autonomic symptoms reported after SARS-CoV-2 infection are often underestimated by patients and unrecognized by treating physicians."
"(Contd) In line with this assumed chronicity, 85% of patients reporting complaints two months after COVID-19 still reported symptoms one year after their symptom onset"
"we applied the advanced imaging technique [Diffusion Microstructure Imaging] to uncover microstructural changes after #COVID19 infection, with the observation of different patterns in a cohort of patients with and without PCC [Post-COVID-condition]"

Did anyone with #Covid get a ton of rashes you can’t explain?
Nothing gets rid of them.
Plenty of other symptoms but this is one that doctors always blame on allergies.
My hair also got intensely dry to the point where it didn’t need washing for 3 weeks. There was no sebum! I had to oil it & leave it in for a week even after using a very rich conditioning treatment.
My nose would also not stop bleeding.
I’m about 2 months into my second infection. Already have #LongCovid.
I get red patches that appear, are a little itchy for a few days, them fade. Random places, random times. No pattern or trigger that I can determine. Luckily they're not too bad for me, so just ignore them. But rashes can definitely be a long covid thing.
It messes with heart rate and blood pressure, which might explain the nose bleeds.
The dry hair is a new one on me, but there doesn't seem to be any part of the body it can't affect.

Trump's handling of his portion of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic was morally and scientifically superior to Biden's handling of the terminus of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, continuing promotion of the Omicron Pandemic, and current promotion of BA.2.86 and its descendants. No president, not even Trump, has demonstrated as muchh disdain for the general welfare and safety of the American people as Joe Biden. He is at parity with DeSantis and Noem in that regard.
"The parents try to navigate in an unfamiliar world, searching for someone to believe in them and their child, and describe the relief when their child's condition is confirmed. The findings also demonstrate the depth of suffering, not only for the child but also for the whole family."
I've said it before but I'll say it again.
It's not that everyone I know who had #Covid has developed terrible new medical issues.
It's that everyone I know who has developed terrible new medical issues recently had Covid.
And in every case I'm thinking of, it's become a health crisis within about three months of their most recent Covid bout. (Usually not a bad bout, either.)
Top story: Banning masks because they supposedly hide a person's identity is just another excuse.
"[T]here's little evidence that any kind of medical mask does anything to conceal your identity. A report in Nature found that even sunglasses do a better job than a surgical mask or an N95 respirator...The Department of Homeland Security even tested their tools and found they still work 96 percent of the time when the public masks."
To those who follow this account for #Covid rants and politely tolerate my posts about the wonderful and elegant #Python programming language I’ve used almost daily for over a decade: The #pycon2024 conference required masks because they apparently haven’t stopped caring about the people behind the keyboards.
Yes, masks. In 2024. At a tech conference. It’s a beautiful thing.
