Immunological dysfunction persists for 8 months following initial mild-to-moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection. Considering that a this is what most of those who catch Covid-19 experiences, this is pretty alarming. And since the first Omicron wave, many Europeans and Americans has caught it 2-3 times during 2022. And there is no reson to believe this pattern of repeated infections will change during 2023 without mitigation measures. Catching Covid twice or more per year likely leads to a downward spiral for the immune system.

Covid-19 kills and exhausts T-cells and B-cells that form the base for our immune system.
The short answer: most likely.

Nasal spray vs Covid-19? Yes, this is a preprint of a study of a broad-spectrum antibody against COVID-19 as a nasal spray. The result is protection of above 70%. Read more via the link below.
White blood cells stop acting normally when infected by Covid-19 and starts to work against the body and starts creating blood clots. Read study below.
Science ha s been a bit lazy on common respiratory viruses. It hasn’t been that many studies done before Covid-19, but here it is: they pretty much all are mostly airborne.
To anyone at least little read up on the matter, the news that universal masking lessens the number of infected students and staff in schools comes as no surprise, as fewer viruses in the air means less risk for infections. Now there is even more proof.
It sort of says itself: if you put a filter in the stream of air entering your mouth and nose, you get fewer “things” entering your respiratory system. And respirators are very good at catching viruses.
A few scientists early on suspected that Covid-19 damage important parts of the immune system in a way that opens up for other infections and cancer. They were right.
Many, not only long Covid patients, experience so called brain fog after being infected with SARS-Cov-2. Now scientists at Karolinska Institutet have discovered why: broken connections in the brain.
