Immune regulation of bone loss by Th17 cells

The disregulation of cells and immune system (TH17 helper cells) caused by Covid-19 infection can lead to bone loss and inflammatory states in the skeleton and joints including arthritis.

Immunological dysfunction persists for 8 months 

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.

Universal Masking Works – Fewer Students And Staff Get Covid-19 In Schools

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.
