‘Visionary’ study finds inflammation, evidence of virus years after infection

https://www.statnews.com/2024/07/03/long-covid-ucsf-study-finds-virus-presence-years-post-infection/

> A "visionary" new study finds inflammation and evidence of the Covid virus years after initial infection. ... In some cases, the team followed patients up to 900 days, making it one of the longest studies of ... they report what looked like lingering virus in participants’ guts. Even those who’d had Covid but no continuing symptoms had different results than those who’d never been infected.

Human society is composed of the species that has the conceit to call itself the thinking ape, but damage is putting that in peril. We are seeing the effects in the drivers around us, the mistakes being made in orders placed, the regular near-misses with airlines.

Yet it’s barely talked about. This seems unbelievable, until you stop and look at what’s happening from an evolutionary perspective. Then it’s horrifyingly clear.

I’ve programmed computers to evolve stuff. 🧵

3/ The RNA code of the virus has a parameter space (dimensionality) of about the size of the simulation model for a small analog integrated circuit. Those are not much used anymore, but an can picture what a simple audio filter might look like, with an op-amp (operational amplifier) at its core.

You get enough parameters to do that, all encoded into the heart of the spiky protein ball small enough to float in the air for hours.

It’s a evolutionary marvel.

Interesting animal investigation of the #autoimmune #LongCovid hypothesis.

What causes long COVID? Case builds for rogue antibodies

> Study finds that antibodies from people with the debilitating condition trigger similar symptoms in mice.

OMG. never in one month have I actually witnessed so many near-accidents in traffic in my ???decades driving.

Poeple just......GOING across an intersection on a red light. Crossing like 7 lanes into opposing traffic. Seriously.

Just...going.

Every time I see it now I'm like....COVID brain??
