Millions have Long Covid: more expected to get it.

Long Covid is a big deal. It has the ability to potentially wreck a nations economy. And it destroys lives. Read more here.

Some kids have long term lung damage after Covid-19

Both children with long covid and those considered fully recovered showed reduced lung capacity after covid. Both ventilation and perfusion (oxygen getting through to the blood) showed significant decrease compared to the control, group. Albeit a small study, this tells us that Covid-19 is certainly not harmless for children and that a large percentage contract lung damage even in mild infections.

Universal Masking In Schools Work; Data Shows How Well

It is kind of obvious that mask should make a difference. especially if we are talking respirator masks (N95/Ffp2/Kn95 etc) that are designed to protect the bearer from patogens like viruses. What we have sort of lacked is a real world comparison between a larger number of schools that keeps mask requirements and schools that remove mask requirements. And the result is clear: it makes a big difference. The first link is to the Time article about the NEJM published study.

Italian Study: 6 Air Changes/Hour Cuts Infections 82%!!

Air-Cleaners & Ventilation Matters!

This important study shows the importance of excellent ventilation! This pretty much confirms the results of a number of smaller studies including those with Corsi – Rosenthal boxes.

This is of course applicable to offices and other indoor settings as well. Ideal is of course to improve ventilation, but air-cleaners can be a viable solution as long as you get the air filtered at least 6x per hour, as shown in other studies (link coming soon).

Combining the air cleaners with FFP2/N95/KN95 masks would likely stop spread of the virus in the setting pretty much 100%. Even with super-spreading variants of Omicron BA.5 and later dominating.

This overturns all the desinformation from big players like the Swedish Public Health Authority Folkhälsomyndigheten and Koch sponsored desinformation machine Brownstone Institute.

First the link to the Reuters article, second lik is to the study itself.

Schools Are Significant Sites Of Covid Transmission

Swedish health authority Folkhälsomyndigheten among a few others, UK government etc, have claimed that children don’t spread Covid and that schools aren’t driving the spread. Most epidemiologists disagreed from the very start and just watching statistics on age groups have given proof to the view of schools actually being the major force in driving the pandemic. Here is solid proof. That’s why it is very important to use counter measures in schools in order to slow down spread in society as a whole.
