"New studies shed light on how genes might shape a person’s experience with Covid-19"
"A study published in the journal Nature on Wednesday shows that people who carry a common change to genes that code for certain immune system molecules that sit on the surface of cells called human leukocyte antigens, or HLAs, were more likely to have Covid-19 without any symptoms."

Was on a week long shoot last week where one of our shooters and a producer both got covid and had to quarantine in their hotel rooms. The reality is that people still get really banged up from this thing and are out of commission for at least a few days.

‘No one is talking about it’: the cruelty of long Covid in the global south
With 651m documented Covid cases worldwide, that would mean 65 million individuals have long Covid.
As research focuses on richer parts of world, people in less developed countries suffer from lack of awareness and support

In the Hospital del Norte of El Alto, a working-class city in Bolivia, visibly sick patients queue for a consultation with a surgeon. At their feet, two stray dogs sleep on a floor strewn with coca leaves.Dr Silverio Condori, 49, was here when the coronavirus pandemic arrived in Bolivia. He fell sick in June 2020 and spent two months in one of the country’s few intensive care units. “I came back from another world,” he said.
“When I got out of hospital, I had to learn to walk, to eat, even to speak,” Condori added, pointing to a neat horizontal tracheotomy scar at the base of his throat. “I still have some paralysis in my right side. I’m a surgeon, but I can’t operate. At least I’m still here, thank God.”

Will people every stop wearing masks?
I understand everybody wearing them in hospitals now, for now on. I understand why elderly would wear them.
But it's weird to see a 20 year old wearing one in public now.
If they're walking down the street by themselves wearing a mask, I assume it's an anti-social thing, but it's strange to see some 30 year old hipster shopping in the supermarket wearing one. Or someone in the back of a Chipotle, who's not even customer-facing.
- For some people the experience of living through the pandemic has forever changed them for better or worst. Some people will continue wearing their masks 24/7.utopian
- If you have a cold it seems common sense to wear a mask in public places.pablo28
- ^ yupYakuZoku
- for someone who works in kitchen dealing with food, it's just overall more hygienic.pango
- laughs in chinese, korean, japanese, etc. Masks have been common in these countries and many others for decades before covid, air pollution being #1.whatthefunk
- Some people are shy. Some feel ugly. Some feel like the wrong gender. Some didn’t put on makeup today. Some have cystic acne. Some love poppers.pusherbot
- Allergens are also pretty high this time of the year; I've worked with some allergic folks who masked up pre-COVID.evilpeacock

- The whole mask thing is so weird. I wore masks pre-COVID because of all of our smoke storms / airborn allergens. Who cares if somebody wears a mask.garbage
- Plus I've been wearing them since a kid for graffiti reasons. Now I have an excuse to keep my face covered from the hundreds of cameras..garbage
- ..at every store I go to. They still know everything I buy from my loyalty card, but whatever. Still, don't think I'll "every" stop wearing masks.garbage
- But only because I wore them years before the pandemic, and I'm not a baby.garbage
- Don't get why you care. Oh, right, what other people wear affects your life. *eye roll.hydro74
- I wear one in indoor or enclosed spaces where other people are present. Covid can cause brain damage, might account for bainbridge's post.comicsans

I got 4... 5? I don’t even remember how much mandatory vaccines they gave us in Uruguay during 2019-2020.
Thing is, I’m currently recovering from a 30+ days flu, with a little fever during the first couple days, and an everlasting cough and overall pain throughout the next weeks.
I don’t even know if I should’ve trusted this shit. I’m m sick of feeling sick.
- If you're reading this it's too late.palimpsest
- Conversely, pre-Covid i caught EVERY one of my kid's colds for about 8 months, but haven't had a single once since the vax. YMMVNairn

The pandemic is officially over according to WHO...
One final post since so many of you bought into this "died suddenly" nonsense.
From a study that was just released...the blue is cardiac arrests. The yellow, which can barely be seen, is myocarditis cases. Notice anything?
- There's literally no connection between cardiac arrests and vaccines being taken. It was all made up, just a dumb hysteria pushed by conspiracy theorists...yuekit
- That ironically, probably ended up killing hundreds of thousands or millions of people.yuekit

‘A silver lining’: how Covid ushered in a vaccines golden era
Pandemic accelerated advances in vaccine technology, opening up possibilities for combating array of diseasesThe Covid-19 pandemic has been awful for many reasons. But if there is a bright side to the past three years, it is vaccines. Development and testing has advanced at an unprecedented pace since the arrival of Covid-19, enabling technologies that might otherwise have taken another decade to undergo late-stage clinical testing, regulatory approval and manufacturing scale-up to prove their mettle in millions of people.
These advances have set the stage for further breakthroughs in the next five to 10 years that could help to combat some of the greatest scourges of humanity, from common respiratory infections to cancer.

‘Disposable face masks may stop Covid-19 but also cause lung damage’

- To sum up the abstract this is based on: If you reuse the one-use masks, they physically begin to break down and you inhale microplastics.garbage

The next pandemic: Marburg?
A cousin of Ebola, Marburg can kill nine out of ten people it infects, and international travel has taken it from Africa to Europe twice in the past 40 years. The virus has just hit Equatorial Guinea for the first time ever – what does this mean for the rest of the world?
Case fatality rate: Marburg is one of the deadliest viruses we know of, killing as many as 88% people it infects.
Incubation period: The incubation varies from just two days to up to 21 days, though some studies have suggested the virus can incubate for as long as 26 days.
Symptoms: Marburg virus begins with a fever, severe headache and muscle pains. This is often followed by watery diarrhoea, stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, accompanied by extreme exhaustion and lethargy. Many people go on to develop severe viral haemorrhagic fever, and in severe cases have blood in their vomit and faeces, and may bleed from their nose, gums and vagina. The onslaught of the virus is so extreme that most people die 8-9 days after infection, often because of extreme loss of blood.

NR.66
Although the USA played a leading role in developing effective vaccines against COVID-19 and had an ample and early supply of doses, it nevertheless ranks 66th among countries and territories globally in terms of the proportion of residents who have completed their initial vaccine sequence.2 The USA has performed poorly, despite having (by most measures) the largest economy, spending the most on health care,3 and, before the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, having been rated the best prepared for a pandemic out of 195 nations considered.
